#5 David Brooks
Roped in by Bournemouth for £11.5 million ahead of the start of the season, David Brooks has made an instant impact on the side. The 21-year-old has scored 6 goals and assisted 4 in his 22 Premier League appearances.
The Manchester City youth academy product has played for Sheffield United in the past.
The Cherries' midfielder has linked up with his fellow players astutely. Brooks played a key role in the 4-0 drubbing of Chelsea recently. However, he suffered an ankle injury in the same match.
He hobbled in pain after celebrating his goal against The Blues. The youngster is likely to be out of action for another 3 weeks and he would be hoping to return to action before Bournemouth lock horns with Manchester City on 2nd March, 2019.
