Morgan Schneiderlin
Southampton have seen a massive overhaul in their playing staff over the summer, but they managed to fight off competition to keep their influential French midfielder. Schneiderlin has continued last season’s fine form, which saw him represent France at the World Cup, and already has three goals in his five appearances this season as he’s been converted into a more attacking central midfielder.
