The english premier league 2014/15 season has captivated football fans the world over with thrilling matches and theeeclusive.com team has picked top ten favourites to win the 2014/15 EPL  player of the season.
1. CESC FABREGAS
The spaniard joined his former team’s cross town rivals Chelsea from his childhood club FC Barcelona at the beginning of the season and it did not take him too long to make his mark on the English league again. He looks set to break French legend Thierry Henry’s long standing assist record as he is now 5 assists off the mark. Arsenal coach might be ruing passing the chance to  resign his former captain as his brilliant performances have made him the favourite to win the player of the season award.
2. ALEXIS
Despite communication challenges former Barcelona man Alexis did not take too long to adapt to the demands of the English league. The Chilean forward has built on his 2014 World Cup perfomances in Brazil and has been a revelation for Arsenal this season scoring 13 league goals and making the most assists in the injury plagued London side. Arsenal’ s short passing game is similar FC Barcelona’s tiki-taka and its one of the reasons he has adapted quickly. Arsenal’s overeliance on Sanchez is one of the reasons he makes the shortlist.

3. DIEGO COSTA
The 26 year old forward  was not expected to flourish at Chelsea because of a disastrous World Cup with Spain but the Brazilian born Sparniad has surprised many as he is now the League’s leading goalscorer with 17 goals. Costa has adapted to the brute physicality of the English game and is a nightmare for defenders  but he has however failed to avoid controversy with him recently being suspended for stamping on Liverpool’s Martin Skrtel.
4. NEMANJA MATIC
The Serbian midfielder was resigned by Jose Mourinho from Portuguese giants SL Benfica during the 2013/14 season mid-season transfer window and he did not take long to relegate established midfielders like Ramires and John Obi Mikel to the bench. He has proven to be the backbone of the Chelsea midfield by providing defensive cover for the more adventurous trio of Fabregas, Oscar and Willian. The lanky midfielder has scored a few important goals too and could surprise many people by winning the award.
5. DAVID DE GEA
The only goalkeeper to make the list and the third Spaniard on the list, Manchester United’s David De Gea has been on scintillating form and has won the hearts of many fans across the globe with his superb perfomances. The young goalkeeper has saved coach Louis van Gaal’s side on several occasions most notably against a resurgent Everton side at Old Trafford where he saved Leighton Baines spot kick(Baines’s first ever penalty miss) and made a nearly impposible last minute save from Phil Jagielka’s scorcher to help the Red Devils win the match. De Gea has attracted the interest of Spanish giants Real Madrid and it would be no surprise if he wins the coveted award.
6. Yaya Toure
When the Ivorian left to represent his country at the 2015 Afcon finals his club Manchester City were level on points with Chelsea and still in the FA Cup. Many people thought the citizens were not going to miss him due to the prescence of the likes of David Silva and Samir Nasri but in his absence Man City struggled for form and failed to win a single match in four games. Toure has proven to be the man that makes Manuel Pellegrini’s side tick and is once again among the favorites to win the player of the year award.
7. HARRY KANE
The young English forward is having a fantastic season and is the reason why Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor  sits on the bench during match days. The 21 year old has found the net 13 times already including a brace against his boyhood club Arsenal a few weeks ago and is expected to be named in Roy Hodgson’s England squad next month. One moment that Spurs fans wont forget is when he scored a brace and then playing as a goal keeper when Hugo Lloris was red carded during a Europa League match.
8. SERIO AGUERO
The Argentine striker has endeared himself to  Manchester City fans  with his goalscoring prowess despite being disadvantaged by his height. The diminutive forward has had an injury ravaged season but is among the English premier league top goalscorers which proves how dangerous he is. Aguero was recently linked to FC Barcelona but the Argentine has stated that he will only leave City after winning the Champions League. Despite being injury prone Aguero can win the award and who can forget how he inspired City when they won the League back in 2012.
9. EDEN HARZAD
Chelsea’s number 10 is once again one of the favourites to take home the player of the year award. The Belgian winger has displayed amazing perfomances  in the barclays premier league being a constant menace to defenders for most of the season as they are often forced to commit fouls as a result of Harzad’s trickery, close ball control when dribbling and blistering pace. He recently extended his contractat Chelsea and revealed that he nearly joined French money spinners Paris Saint Germain.
10. CRISTIAN ERIKSEN
The former Ajax Amsterdam man has hit a rich vein of form of late scoring important goals for Spurs which proves he really deserves a shot at winning the coveted player of the season award. The danish playmaker is in his second season with coach Mauricio Pocchetino’s side.
