The 24-year old winger is considered as one of the most underrated players in the Premier League. First of all he managed to jump two leagues, transferring from the League One team Huddersfield Town to Norwich. Secondly, he scored 8 goals and made one assist in his first season in the Premier League. Well done, for a guy who haven't gotten any international experience except for one U21 Ireland match. If he keeps up his play, Roy Hodgson and Giovanni Trapattoni will battle to have him on their national team.
Shane Long has played a few years in the Premier League, first for Reading where he scored 46 goals and now in West Bromwich Albion. In WBA, he has become one of this season's profiles and has kept Lukaku on the bench. What makes Shane Long one of the most underrated players, is his work rate and unselfishness. The Irish national team saw this years ago and now it seems as Liverpool seeing the same.
The 31-year old midfielder is having his longest spell at a club, in Reading. Here, he has become the captain and is perhaps one of the most creative players on the team. His ability to make the right crosses and passings is underrated, but the numbers speaks for themselves. Last season, McAnuff was behind 11 assists in the Championship while he has made 4 so far in this season. This player really knows how to set his team mates up!
Sebastian Larsson spend his younger years at Arsenal, and the Sunderland midfielder is exactly what Arsene Wenger is looking for in Arsenal at the moment. The Swede has had a major impact on the Birmingham team, before joining Sunderland as is perhaps one of the most dangerous players on free kicks. The selfishness that Larsson shows during matches and his ability to set his team mates up is what makes him a great player, but also one of the most underrated.
The 31-year old winger is fundamental for Stoke City. His ability to rush down the line and deliver a precise cross to his team mates is crucial for the way Stoke likes to play. During his four seasons at Britannia Stadium, he has delivered not less than 29 assists. This guy knows how to pass the ball! That Ethrington is underrated is shown by his lack of international matches for England - none!
