Top 5 most underrated players in the Premier League
The Premier League is widely considered as the world's best and most unpredictable competition. Naturally, many of the top players - worldwide - feature on a weekly basis in the division but extended focus on their respective performances at different sides sees some of the more hard-working, impressive players flourishing quietly don't get the recognition they fully deserve.
With that in mind, here's a list of five underrated players who are currently playing across England's top-flight:
#5 Pascal Gross (Brighton)
When he originally joined Brighton, it was mentioned that Pascal Gross had created the most chances in the Bundesliga during the previous season - the league collectively shrugged.
Brighton spending £3m on a player from relegated Ingolstadt was not major news, regardless of how it was spun. However during his first season in England, he managed to score seven and create eight assists: having a direct hand in 44% of Brighton's goals.
Wilfried Zaha contributed the same overall total, which only accounted for 27% of Palace's goals over the course of that campaign. His contributions in the final third also outweighed those of experienced forward Glenn Murray, which accounts for his landslide victory in Brighton's Player of the Year accolade.
Despite all of this though, the lack of interest in Gross' services over last summer was a surprise, even with his long-term contract deal in place until June 2022.
There are rumours suggesting Liverpool could make a move in the current window, which make sense - the experienced German could settle quickly alongside better teammates and create more chances alongside Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, in comparison to Solly March and the aforementioned Murray.
