The Top Twenty Five Contenders for the EPL Player of the Year – Part 7
Didier Drogba – Chelsea, Striker
Didier Drogba scored a gigantic number of twenty nine goals last season, by scoring a hat-trick in both the first and the last match of the season. He was also the highest goal scorer last season and has become a world renowned
Super Star in Chelsea.
Drogba is a favourite at Stamford Bridge and this Ivory Coast International player literally is known to terrorize the opposing side’s defenders with his skills, pace, power and aerial abilities.
He is considered to be one of the most complete strikers in the world and has proved that his worth to the club is much more than just scoring goals.
His presence on the field is a threat for the opposing team and strikes fear in the fans, the boss and the players.
The player’s biggest disappointment, when it comes to football is that he has never won a Champions league title with the Blues and hopes to change that this year!
Didier Drogba is completely charged and overflowing with raw power this year and hopes to end the club’s battle for the European title on a high.
Notable mentions for the EPL Player of the Year Award
On number twenty six is Bacary Sagna from The Gunners and he plays the right back position. He is one of the most consistent right backs in the English Premier League and his so called ‘no-nonsense’ defending makes him a key player
in the team.
Next comes a winger from Aston Villa, Ashley Young; he is considered to be the team’s most vital player after the leave of James Milner. Young is a multi-purpose player who is immensely talented and hopes to play another great
season with Aston Villa.
Villa is going through a bad patch right now following the leave of their great manager Martin O’Neill and Milner.
Tim Cahill is a midfielder for Everton and is one of the most important parts of the first team squad. Everton did start off with a very bad start this season and the Australian is looking to lift the Merseyside spirits.
Next come Samir Nasri, he is a midfielder from the Gunners and was not included in the French World Cup squad and was bounced back from the disappointment that the French national team players had to endure after the World Cup.
He has produced some moving performances in the preseason matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool for the Carling Cup.
The player is looking to make play an extravagant season at the Emirates and just might be the next best thing in Arsenal to replace Cesc Fabregas when he is not fit to play.
The last in this list is a striker from Tottenham Hotspur, Jermain Defoe. This player was very creative last season and scored more than twenty goals.
He has been injured this season and will remain benched for some time now but as soon as he regains his true form, he will once again be one of the Lilly Whites most key players on the field.
