Hidden Gems: Premier League Players Who Are Quietly Dominating This Season
Stats Reveal 5 Premier League Stars Who Deserve More Recognition in 2025/26
The international break often leaves football fans eagerly waiting for club action to resume. This season, the Premier League title race is heating up with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City all battling at the top. But beyond the big names like Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, and Moises Caicedo, several players have quietly delivered outstanding performances that deserve recognition.
According to data from Opta Analyst, these five players have stood out statistically — contributing goals, assists, and key defensive actions that often go unnoticed by the general public.
1. Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo has developed into one of the most complete attackers in the Premier League. So far this season, he has scored six goals and provided three assists for Bournemouth.
Using his speed and strength, Semenyo has been a nightmare for defenders, as shown by his solo goal against Fulham. His sharpness in front of goal suggests a bright future in England’s top flight.
2. Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace)
Despite Crystal Palace’s recent defeat to Everton, ending their 19-game unbeaten run, Adam Wharton remains the heart of the team’s midfield. Calm and composed on the ball, the 20-year-old has impressed with his maturity and tactical awareness.
Having made six league appearances so far, Wharton is already being tipped for an England call-up ahead of the next World Cup. Reports even suggest that Real Madrid are keeping tabs on his development.
3. Jaidon Anthony (Burnley)
Returning to the Premier League with newly promoted Burnley, Jaidon Anthony has become a crucial part of Scott Parker’s squad. He has registered four goals and one assist despite Burnley’s defensive approach this season.
Anthony’s efficiency is impressive — scoring from just 12 shots — and his clinical edge could prove vital in helping Burnley avoid relegation.
4. Iliman Ndiaye (Everton)
At Everton, Iliman Ndiaye has emerged as one of the club’s most influential players. He has contributed to four goals, while also ranking among the top performers in progressive carries and ball recoveries across the league.
Ndiaye’s influence isn’t limited to attack; he has won the ball 42 times and made 16 tackles this season. His all-round contribution has been key to Everton’s stability in midfield.
5. Guglielmo Vicario (Tottenham Hotspur)
Vicario’s consistency has strengthened Spurs’ defense, and among top-performing goalkeepers like Robin Roefs and David Raya, he stands out as the most reliable so far this season.
