Right-back Cedric Soares has struggled a bit with injury since joining Southampton last year, but when he’s been fit, he’s proven to be an excellent full-back.

Part of the Portugal team that won Euro 2016, the 25-year-old has transferred some of that form into this season’s Premier League, and is considerably better than the other right-back option Cuco Martina.

Soares has played the Saints’ last two league games, after returning from injury, and plenty more impressive displays at full-back will keep him in the side for the foreseeable future.
