The Premier League - arguably the greatest league on the planet. The league which is so fast-paced, so physically tough, and so mentally demanding that a high percentage of foreign players coming to ply their trade in front of our cameras fail miserably and are sent packing to an easier way of life.

It is famous for the massive amount of goals, bone-crunching challenges and unique style of play, and has provided a stage for some of the greatest talents ever to play the beautiful game.

In this list we will take a look at five of the most impressive players in the Premier League this season and the statistics to back it up.

So, if you are a Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool, or even a Swansea fan - you will want to see which of your players have made the cut. For the rest of you, can you guess who has been listed?

To start us off, a man who is the all time top scorer in the English topflight. Former Newcastle United forward Alan Shearer - the ultimate goal-gobbler. Shearer scored 260 goals in the Premier League during his playing games, representing Southampton and Blackburn Rovers as well as the Toon army.
