Premier League players who turned out to be better than anyone expected, including Alonso, Kane and Vardy

As Marcos Alonso fired in Chelsea’s two goals to beat Tottenham at Wembley, those with fleeting memories of his time at Bolton and Sunderland continue to be left bemused.

The left-back was on loan with Gus Poyet’s Black Cats in 2014, and he could only get into the Bolton team after their 2012 relegation to the Championship, but now the defender is a Premier League title winner and an integral part of Chelsea’s side.

The Spaniard’s time at Fiorentina, before he joined Chelsea, has seriously worked wonders as the player who arrived as part of Antonio Conte’s side is a very different entity to the one who left the English top flight at the end of 2014.

So who else in the Premier League has exceeded all expectations?

Here, marvelbet369.com looks at other Premier League players who have performed at a far higher level than anyone ever believed they would.
