10 Premier League Players Who Still Have Much To Prove This Season
9. Jack Rodwell (Sunderland)
Rodwell's arrival was met with much optimism on Wearside after a big-money move in 2014. The England international has made 26 appearances in that time, though has struggled to nail down a starting spot week in, week out. A combination of fitness issues and a lack of form have left many fans questioning whether bringing Rodwell to Sunderland was actually a smart move.
This is a big season for Rodwell, who is yet to show the world why he was held in such high regard as a youngster at Everton. At the age of 24, the central midfielder needs to begin to showcase his talent if he ever wants to pull on an England shirt again.
