Last year's winner has scored 25 goals and assisted a further five in just 28 Premier League appearances in the Norwegian's game-changing campaign. He leads the race for the Golden Boot and is one of only three players with 30 goals this season.

Alexander Isak – Newcastle

The Swede, 24, was selected for the second successive season after scoring 20 goals in 27 league games for Newcastle – the first Magpies player since Alan Shearer in 2002-03 to reach that mark.

Martin Odegaard – Arsenal

Arsenal's captain led by example as they challenged for the title. The 25-year-old Norwegian has scored eight goals and assisted another eight in addition to creating 94 chances in 33 games, the second most in the Premier League this season.
