When centre-back Dejan Lovren departed St Mary’s for Liverpool in the summer, many believed the club would struggle in that department. But with Fonte at the heart of the defence they have done the complete opposite as only champions Chelsea conceded less goals that the Saints in the season.

His excellent performances also earned him a call up to the Portugal national team, where he made his debut against Argentina last November.

5) Gary Cahill – Chelsea

Cahill will need to be more consistent next season as he has Kurt Zouma breathing down his neck for a first team spot.
