Moise Kean
Just a few years ago, Moise Kean was considered a striker with potential. However, his performance began to go downhill as he scored only 14 goals in 104 games for Juventus. In the 2023-24 season, Moise Kean was not able to score any goals for Juventus and even got injured, forcing him to transfer to a new team. Beyond expectations, Moise Kean showed some improved performance in his new team, Fiorentina. In the 2024-25 season, Moise Kean scored 25 goals in 44 games and was selected for the team of the season in Serie A.
Ousmane Dembele
If people were to choose the worst signing Barcelona has ever done, Dembele would be the player that comes to mind. Dembele scored 40 goals in 185 games for Barcelona. In the 2023-24 season, Dembele transferred to PSG to develop his performance in his home country and scored 6 goals and 12 assists. After adapting to the Ligue 1, Dembele fully used his potential in the 2024-25 season, scoring 33 goals and 15 assists, even winning the Champions League. Now, Dembele is the player most likely to win the Ballon d'Or.
Scott McTominay
At the start of the 2024-25 season, McTominay moved to Napoli from Manchester United. There were times when McTominay showed a good performance, but many people thought that he was not a fit for Manchester United. However, the transfer motivated him to improve himself, and he started to surprise everyone. McTominay scored 13 goals as a midfielder and was the key player of Napoli, helping his team to win the league. In the end, McTominay was chosen as the player of the season in Serie A.
Bryan Mbeumo
Bryan Mbeumo has consistently shown fine performance, but the 2024-25 season was different for him. Bryan Mbeumo scored 20 goals in the Premier League, also making 8 assists. This status is surprising when considering that he plays for Brentford. For the 2023-24 season, Mbeumo scored 9 goals, which is a huge difference compared to the previous one. Due to his performance, many clubs are aiming to transfer Mbeumo to their team.
Ryan Gravenberch
In the 2023-24 season, Ryan Gravenberch was only a rotating member of Liverpool and did not play much for the club. Surprisingly, Gravenberch stepped up from his current form and became the key player of Liverpool in the 2024-25 season. He was able to start for 49 games as he upgraded his defensive skills, becoming a perfect midfielder. Gravenberch was able to win the Premier League with his team and was selected as the young player of the season.
