Alex Tóth

Tóth combines a genuine engine with real end product, covering enough ground to influence both boxes while still finding the pass that actually creates a chance rather than simply recycling possession. That output made him the standout player for a Hungarian champion side before he had turned twenty, and it earned him a senior international cap not long after. He stays composed even when a match gets stretched and chaotic, a trait a former coach specifically credited to his even temperament.

The question is always the jump in level, because dominating Hungarian football does not guarantee the same influence against Premier League midfielders who are faster, stronger and considerably more experienced. His early performances since arriving suggest the ability translates. Whether it holds up across a full season of English football, rather than a handful of promising cameos, is what will define his first real test.
