3. Morgan Schneiderlin (£5.5m)
All summer, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino sought to be reunited with Morgan Schneiderlin by attempting to sign him up for Spurs, but his efforts would ultimately prove futile. Ronald Koeman had grown tired of selling off his new clubs best assets and, well aware of how crucial the French player could be to Southamptons season, refused to yield, so Schneiderlin will remain at the club for a few more months at least. The Frenchman came in for criticism by angling for a move away from the south coast, handing in a transfer request earlier in the summer and criticising his club on social media, but, to his credit, rather than sulk when a transfer failed to materialise he knuckled down and has made a positive start to the new campaign. Schneiderlin started his career at Strasbourg, but his debut season coincided with the clubs relegation from Ligue 1 and the player moved across the Channel to join Southampton in 2008. He helped steer the club back to the Premier League in 2012 and, in their first year back, was the Saints player of the season, distinguishing himself by regularly topping the rankings for both interceptions and tackles. Why You Should Sign Him Schneiderlin was brought into the French World Cup squad from the standby list and featured in the group stages, and his international experience appears to have given him a boost ahead of the new season. He has played every minute of Southamptons three games, scoring two goals in the recent 3-1 victory away to West Ham, and has 19 points thus far. His price tag is currently £5.5m, but this figure is bound to increase sign him while you can afford it.
