His stunning strike against Burnley won him the February goal of the month award.The 27-year-old defenders impressive displays have seen him linked with moves to Tottenham and Arsenal. Both north London clubs would have to pay considerably more than the 3million Newcastle paid Deportivo to land the Switzerland international.
David Brooks (Bournemouth) – 10million from Sheffield United

He has scored six goals, including a strike in a 4-0 win over Chelsea in January, and registered four assists.He signed a new long-term contract with the Cherries last month to help ward off reported interest from Manchester United and Tottenham.

7Joao Moutinho has been a revelation for WolvesMoutinhos move to Wolves was one of the most surprising transfers of the 2018 summer window. A European Championship winner does not often sacrifice Champions League football for a newly-promoted club – but that is exactly what Moutinho did.At 32, in his first taste of Premier League football, the midfielder has fitted in seamlessly leaving Spurs fans to rue what might have been as they were ‘minutes’ from signing him under Andre Villas-Boas.Playing in either a two or three-man midfield, most of Moutinhos seven assists have come from dead ball situations.

7Matteo Guendouzi has been a huge hit for Arsenal this seasonPlaying in Ligue 2 last season, most Arsenal fans would not have known who Guendouzi was. The Frenchman might have thought he would have to bide his time for a first-team chance with Lucas Torreira, Granit Xhaka and Aaron Ramsey in midfield.But Arsenal boss Unai Emery started Guendouzi in the clubs first game of the season against Premier League champions Manchester City – and since his debut – he has made 36 more appearances in all competitions.His form has kept Denis Suarez, who joined on loan from Barcelona in January, waiting for a first league start.Reports claim Paris Saint-Germain are keeping tabs on Guendouzi, who is constantly improving.
Ben Foster (Watford) – free transfer from West Brom
7Ben Foster has been solid for WatfordFoster, at the age of 35, has played every single minute of Watfords impressive Premier League campaign. The Hornets are eighth and just one point off a Europa League place.The former England international was relegated with West Brom last season, but has bounced back emphatically with Watford.
Xherdan Shaqiri (Liverpool) – 13million from Stoke
7Xherdan Shaqiri’s brace inflicted the final defeat of Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United careerEyebrows were raised when Liverpool activated Shaqiris release clause following his relegation with Stoke.The winger was inconsistent during his time at the bet365 Stadium and a huge jump to a top-four club seemed too much. However, he has been a solid squad player for Liverpool, providing competition for Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.He became a fans favourite since coming off the bench to score twice in a 3-1 win over Manchester United in December.
Salomon Rondon (Newcastle) – 2million loan fee from West Brom
7Salomon Rondon is in fine goalscoring formNewcastle paid West Brom 2million to sign Rondon on loan with Dwight Gayle heading the other way – and it is a move that has worked out perfectly for them.The Venezuelan has beenRafa Benitez’sfirst-choice striker, netting ten goals this season, including three in his last five to help the Magpies climb the table.With just one year left on Rondons contract, youd be surprised if Newcastle did not make the loan move permanent this summer.
