There are a host of contenders but who has set himself apart so far this season?
Of some TV pundits, Shaka Hislop and Alejandro Moreno are united in their selection of Diego Costa, the Chelsea striker who has 14 goals and five assists in 19 Premier League games this season.
Steve Nicol, meanwhile, opts for Costa’s Stamford Bridge teammate Eden Hazard. The Belgian struggled for much of 2015-16 but has been back to his best in this campaign, with nine goals and two assists.
Also getting mentions were Liverpool duo Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane, as well as Tottenham’s man-of-the-moment Dele Alli, some say Paul Pogba.
