After a shaky start away from Liverpool, is now flying at Monaco, and has explained why he is finally hitting top form. Liverpool sold Minamino to Monaco for £15.5 million last summer.

Under Niko Kovac, and latterly Philippe Clement, Minamino struggled, often playing on the flanks. In his 25 appearances last season, he started 15, scoring just once and providing four assists across the campaign. This season, he has three assists and has already tripled his goal tally with just five matches played. Now, with Monaco unbeaten and top of Ligue 1, Minamino is averaging a goal involvement every 71 minutes. The former Red is also now playing more centrally, as one of two No. 10s behind Wissam Ben Yedder.
