2) Rafael Van Der Vaart (Tottenham)
Spurs manager, Harry Redknapp, bought Rafael Van der Vaart from Real Madrid for only 8 million pounds just before the summer transfer window shut down and the Dutchman has definitely been the best transfer bargain of the season so far.
The Dutchman has seen his career transform at White Hart Lane and has already scored 8 goals and 5 assists in his first Premier League campaign. When he was at Real Madrid he was more of a luxury that was seldom afforded by the Real Madrid management.
Van der Vaart was never given enough time at Real Madrid to prove his worth and after spending 2 frustrating seasons with the Los Blancos, he joined Tottenham Hotspurs and hasn’t looked back since then.
The Dutchman is pure class and his competitive presence in the midfield has won praise from all corners of the Premier League as he is now leading the Tottenham assault for a Champions League place this season.
Tottenham are currently 4th in the Premier League and are sitting above reigning champions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. The Spurs are flying even high in the UEFA Champions League campaign and Van der Vaart has been in the thick of things for the Tottenham side that
is playing an exciting brand of football that’s very easy and appeasing to the eye for any football fan.
Van der Vaart has really been superb and has made a great combination with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422. The trio has been the reason behind the creativity in their team.
If the former Real Madrid man can carry on playing the way he has been playing so far, it is for sure that Van der Vaart can help his side to qualify for the Champions League and may even have the odd chance of getting the PFA Player of the season award.
1) Andy Carroll (Newcastle United)
This was a tough choice between Van der Vaart and Carroll but the Englishman perhaps deserves to be on the top of this rookies list because he never really had a chance to play against one of the better sides in the Premier League. But since coming back
to the Premier League, Andy Carroll has been nothing short of a superb player and has already scored 11 goals in just 20 games for the Toon, and being only 21 means that he has a long way to go for sure.
After being given the number 9 shirt that was wore by Toon legend Alan Shearer, Carroll has taken more responsibility and his performances even earned him an international callup by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello.
His performances for the Geordies have alerted many Premier League clubs and he has already been linked with a host of teams. But Carroll along with his employers has hushed all those speculations.
Carroll could have played for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987 as well but he opted to play for England and the product of the Newcastle youth system has proven himself to be a real thorn in the opponents' half with his imposing presence and great ability to score
with the head. He easily wins long balls and is gifted with the ability of scoring using both feet.
