The 21-22 Premier League season has ended, and the suspense of winning the title is still in the air for the majority of Premier League fans. The PL, with its good atmosphere and overall strength in depth, has always been a highly sought-after European soccer league for fans, and there are always players whose PL performance impresses fans in every season.
In this article, I will compile a list of the ten most surprising PL players this season for your reference. Of course, due to the limitation of space, if there is any discussion or missing pearls, fans are welcome to share and add in the comment section.
X. Luis Diaz (Liverpool)
13 PL 4 goals and 3 assists, the winter window to join Liverpool's Colombian winger Luis Diaz, arguably one of the best PL reinforcements of the season. With injuries plaguing his front men, Luis Diaz, who jumped from Porto, has quickly proven his ability to integrate and learn, and his influence in the star-studded Reds side has quickly risen to a central position. In the coming years of the Premier League and Champions League, I believe the 25-year-old Diaz has the ability to fight for and hold onto a place in the Reds' starting XI.
IX. Bukajo Saka (Arsenal)
With 5 goals and 3 assists in 32 games last season and 11 goals and 7 assists in 38 games this season. At the age of 20, with 11 All-Conference honors, Gunners' youngster Saka might be a strong contender for the Premier League's Most Improved Player award, if there is one.
After the penalty nightmare and stressful moments in the Europa League, Sacha has come out of the shadows after his return to the club. Along with his excellent dribbling, Sacha's vision is also very good. To some extent, the rest of Arsenal's young front players' stats improvement is actually driven by Saka's high growth.
Eight: Conor Coady (Wolves)
As the captain of Wolves, Connor Coady, who plays as a central defender, has been known for his stability and iron man attributes in the past. He has played the most minutes in the Premier League this season, just 41 minutes shy of a full season. In addition, Cody has scored 4 goals this season and has outstanding offensive attributes. In the previous three Wolves seasons, he only scored 1 PL goal as a defensive anchor.
Seven: Harvey Barnes (Leicester City)
When it comes to Leicester City, the first player that comes to mind for many fans will be their legendary and decorated striker Vardy. If the 35-year-old Vardy is the soul of the Blue Foxes, then the 24-year-old Barnes is the new hope of the Blue Foxes. In 32 Premier League matches, he has contributed 6 goals and 10 assists to the team, which is a step up from his previous performance.
6. Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)
Arsenal didn't have a particularly good season, as they failed to reach the top four once again and will be out of the Champions League for the sixth consecutive year next season. But considering the average age of their starting lineup is only 24 years and 308 days, and the U21 players contributed 27 goals and 16 assists, this season should still fit the conclusion of [future is promising].
Among the many young, raw players, 24-year-old goalkeeper Aron Ramsdale's growth this season has been nothing short of amazing. In the previous season, Aron Ramsdale's save success rate was about 68% of the middle of the Premier League, at one point making fans suspect that they were looking away and that the £30 million price tag was not worth it. After adapting, Aron Ramsdale has upped the figure to an exaggerated 80% plus and is a young goalkeeper known for his superb save percentage. Outside of his save percentage, this son has a balanced performance in a number of the rest of his senior goalkeeping stats and really has a bright future ahead of him.
V. Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle)
As a defensive midfielder, the 24-year-old Brazilian Bruno Guimarães moved to Newcastle from Lyon in Ligue 1 in the winter window, and with that, he delivered a top-ranked average performance among back-row players, leaving behind 17 games, 5 goals and 1 assist, which can be described as both offensive and defensive. It can be said that this player has proven himself as an intercontinental and potential back in half a season, and he may continue to rise with Newcastle in the future at a high speed.
IV. Christian Eriksen (Brent ford)
The winter window transfer to join, 11 games of Premier League 1 goal and 4 assists, for the previous midfield players, such data is not considered particularly outstanding, but for the Danish star Christian Eriksen, who has walked in the ghost gate, experienced a long recuperation and still can return, the journey back to the Premier League to join Brentford is enough to be called a journey beyond and surprise journey.
III. Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)
A versatile forward, Jarrod Bowen can play as a winger, midfielder and striker. Now 25 years old, he started to rise to prominence last season, and this season he has made another leap forward, contributing 12 goals and 10 assists in 36 games for the team while playing 36 Premier League matches. This season, West Ham achieved the seventh place in the league, which is one of the best seasons in recent years, without Jarrod Bowen. In the future, this son is also likely to move to a higher level team.
II. Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City)
After joining Manchester City in 2016, Gangland has been able to adapt to the system of the first stage, and has been able to regain his popularity since last year, delivering a second spring performance with both creativity and sharpness. In this season, Gangland has played 27 games in the PL, contributing 8 goals and 4 assists.
In the final round of the title race, Manchester City was trailing by 2 goals to Aston Villa, but Gangland came to the rescue with a double strike in the 76th and 81st minutes to help Manchester City beat the opponent 3-2 and win the PL title. It can be said that Gangland is enough to be ranked at the top of the list just by his heroic performance in the last match of the title race. Of course, the fact is that he has been performing quite well throughout the Premier League season.
I. Son (Hottentot Hot spur)
This season in the PL, Son played 35 games, contributed 23 goals and 7 assists, together with Salah, who also scored 23 goals, was awarded the PL Golden Boot, becoming the first Asian player to get the Golden Boot in the five major leagues. Before that, Son's single-season goal tally in the top five leagues was 17 goals last year.
He is now in his prime. While his physical explosiveness and speed are still in top form, his two-footed shooting and understanding of the game are even better. It is worth mentioning that Sun has not kicked a single penalty kick this season, while Salah, who has the same number of goals as him, has 5 penalty kicks. It can be said that Sun's PL golden boot is very sufficient, and we look forward to his performance in the next season.

Angels on the pitch.
In the heart of a bustling city, where the rhythm of life pulses through the streets like a steady heartbeat, there existed a small soccer field tucked away from the chaos. This field wasn't just any ordinary patch of grass; it was a sanctuary, a place where dreams took flight on the wings of determination and passion. It was here that the story of the angels of the pitch unfolded.At the crack of dawn, when the world was still cloaked in darkness, a group of young boys and girls would gather at the field, their cleats clicking against the pavement as they made their way to the hallowed ground. Among them was Alex, a talented midfielder with a heart of gold and feet that danced with grace across the turf.On one particular morning, as the sun began to peek over the horizon, Alex noticed something peculiar. A pair of worn-out cleats lay abandoned near the goalpost, as if waiting to be discovered. Intrigued, Alex approached the cleats and picked them up, examining them with curiosity. Despite their battered appearance, there was an air of magic about them, as if they held a story waiting to be told."Hey, check these out!" Alex called out to the others, holding up the cleats for all to see.The group gathered around, their eyes widening in wonder as they beheld the mysterious footwear. They had heard tales of legendary players who had once graced the field, but never had they come across such a tangible relic of the past."Maybe they belong to one of the angels," whispered Mia, the team's star striker, her voice barely above a breath."Angels?" scoffed Diego, the goalkeeper, a skeptic to the core. "There's no such thing."But Alex knew better. There was a magic in the air that morning, a sense of possibility that transcended the boundaries of belief. With a determined gleam in his eye, he slipped on the cleats, feeling a surge of energy course through his veins like electricity.As the team began their training session, something extraordinary happened. Alex moved with a newfound agility, his every step infused with the spirit of those who had come before him. With each pass and shot, he felt as if he were channeling the skill and wisdom of the angels of the pitch.As the days turned into weeks, Alex's teammates couldn't help but notice the change in him. His once tentative touches had been replaced by a confidence that bordered on the divine. It was as if he had been touched by an unseen hand, guided by forces beyond mortal comprehension.But with great power came great responsibility, and Alex knew that he couldn't keep the secret of the cleats to himself forever. So one evening, as the sun dipped below the skyline and the field was bathed in the soft glow of twilight, he gathered his teammates around him and revealed the truth."These cleats," he began, his voice steady with conviction, "they're not just ordinary shoes. They're a reminder of all those who have played on this field before us, of the angels who watch over us even now."The others listened in rapt silence as Alex recounted the legend of the angels of the pitch, of how they had once roamed the earth spreading joy and inspiration through the beautiful game of soccer. And as he spoke, they felt a sense of awe wash over them, as if they were being blessed by unseen hands.From that day forward, the cleats became more than just a pair of shoes; they became a symbol of hope and unity for the team. With each passing game, they would lace up their boots and take to the field with a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that they were not alone in their quest for victory.And so, the angels of the pitch continued to weave their magic, their presence felt in every pass, every tackle, every goal. For on that sacred ground, where dreams took flight and legends were born, they watched over their earthly counterparts with pride and affection, forever guiding them towards greatness.

I'm not a Vocal Newbie (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm technologically comfortable. But, I'm also perhaps too comfortable. I think I know, even if I know that I don't know what I don't know, I still think I know more that I do know.
