    Top5 - Number 4: Artjoms Rudnevs (Hamburg)

    Who: Perhaps a lesser-known player for fans of the Premier League but his talent is something which should be witnessed. A Latvia international with 23 caps and club appearances for Daugava, Zalaegerszegi TE and Lech Poznan before he made his move to Hamburg. The striker became the first Latvian in the Bundesliga when he completed his move in the summer and has gone on to score 7 goals in his 18 games.

    Where: Both Everton and West Brom appeared to be interested in securing his services before he switched to Hamburg and although the Baggies have Romelu Lukaku scoring for fun at the moment, the youngster returns to Chelsea at the end of the season and interest could rekindle.

    Why: Rudnevs is a real fox-in-the-box type of striker. His sharp darts in and out of the 6-yard box makes him a real handful for opposing defenders to try and track him and it often ends with the Latvian putting the ball past a stranded keeper.
