The top 50 most wanted players linked with Premier League exits or moves in this transfer window
50. Jordan Rhodes
Talented lower league goal machine has helped his Terriers to the Championship but is being chased by a number of Premier League sides and may well find himself jumping up another division this summer. Fulham, Everton and Aston Villa are all apparently interested.
49. Matt Phillips
Talented young Blackpool midfielder is considered one of the most talented players outside the top tier and a number of clubs are looking to bring the 21 year old winger to the Premier League this summer. Sunderland are now apparently leading the race for his signature.
48. Florent Malouda
Chelsea veteran may well be the latest of the Blues old guard to be on his way out this summer and a move to Brazil seems highly likely for the 33 year old French intenational winger.
47. Joey Barton
QPR man may well be out for the first 12 matches of the coming season but that hasn’t stopped Sheffield Wednesday taking an interest in the 29 year old midfielder.
46. Matt Jarvis
Wolves winger is too good for the Championship and many Premier League clubs are all too aware of this fact.
45. Jack Butland
Young England keeper’s star is very much on the rise following his inclusion in the Euro 2012 squad. Birmingham City could struggle to keep the custodian this summer.
44. Wilfried Zaha
Crystal Palace winger came of age last term, especially during the Eagles Carling Cup run, and Dougie Freedman may well struggle to keep the youngster especially after seeing Nathaniel Clyne leave Selhurst Park for Southampton.
43. Victor Wanyama
Celtic enforcer is apparently a wanted man and Neil Lennon is looking to thwart advances for the Kenyan but an even less competitive SPL may be an extra reason for the youngster to push for a Parkhead exit.
42. Steven Fletcher
Wolves striker scored 12 goals last term, despite the Molineux side finishing rock bottom. Sunderland are just one of the top tier sides waiting to offer the Scot an instant return to the top flight.
41. Douglas
Dutch based Brazilian centre back is apparently closing in on a move to St James’ Park and if so Alan Pardew will have landed a very able no-nonsense defender who can add further strength in depth to the Newcastle United squad.
40. Steven Pienaar
South African would probably very much like an Everton return and the Toffees are said to be in talks to bring the attack minded midfielder back from a White Hart Lane move that is beginning to look more and more pointless.
39. Victor Moses
Chelsea are hot on the heels of this young Wigan Athletic winger, who last term shone in the latter stages to help keep the Latics clear of the drop zone. Dave Whelan is apparently demanding £10m for the Nigerian international and it’s a fee that Roman Abramovich may well be willing to pay.
38. Andrei Arshavin
Russian winger has looked jaded and disinterested over the past 18 months but a useful stint on loan at Zenit resulted in a domestic title success so a permanent return to his former club is certainly a possibility.
37. Craig Bellamy
Liverpool veteran proved a big success last term, perhaps one of the few at Anfield last year, but Brendan Rodgers is planning for the future so the Welshman may well look to move on to secure regular first team football. Hometown club Cardiff City are said to be very interested in the 33 year old attacker.
36. Younes Belhanda
Stylish Montpellier midfielder helped his side to a maiden Ligue 1 title success and then saw top-scorer Olivier Giroud snapped up by Arsenal. By all accounts the youngster could also be on his way to the English top tier.
35. Paulinho
Young Brazilian has an admirer in Arsene Wenger and the Corinthians youngster could be on his way to England amid talk of a £9m price-tag on his head.
34. Jermain Defoe
Andre Villas-Boas doesn’t have all that many striking options but the England international is not all that confident he can secure regular first team football at the North London club. Reading are said to be waiting in the wings.
33. Dimitar Berbatov
Bulgarian has pleaded for an Old Trafford exit and his agent hopes for Italian interest but a lot depends on just how much Sir Alex Ferguson is looking to secure for the 31 year old, who has just one year left on his current contract.
32. Adam Johnson
Man City winger made just ten Premier League starts last term and there is no sign that the situation will improve. A lack of first team action cost him a spot at the Euro 2012 finals, is he ready to warm the bench for another season?
31. Chieck Tiote
St James’ Park defensive midfielder was in marvelous form last term and Chelsea are one of many sides said to be keen on the Ivory Coast international.
30. Salomon Rondon
Malaga forward could apparently be sold as the La Liga side looks to cut costs.
29. Kevin Mirallas
Another Belgian who has alerted Europe’s ‘elite’. The Olympiakos attacker finished top scorer in the Greek league last term and apparently Liverpool are lining up a £10m bid.
28. Santi Cazorla
Tottenham apparently see the Malaga winger as a potential replacement for seemingly outgoing Luka Modric.
27. Cesar Azpilicueta
Spaniard has been a big hit at Marseille and now Chelsea are apparently closing in on the right back as the Blues look to fill the void left by released defender Jose Bosingwa.
26. Aly Cissokho
Talented full-back has long been linked with interest from the Premier League and Lyon could be ready to sell this summer after failing to secure a Champions League berth and now counting the very real financial cost.
25. Edin Dzeko
Man City forward scored goals with regularity last term but is seemingly low down on Roberto Mancini’s pecking order. AC Milan apparently see the Bosnian as a possible replacement for PSG bound Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
24. Rafael Van der Vaart
Dutchman has been strongly linked with a Bundesliga return.
23. Andy Carroll
Carroll’s Liverpool future is very much in doubt following comments made by new boss Brendan Rodgers. Newcastle United have already made their interest known so is a St James’ Park return on the cards?
22. Hugo Lloris
Another player said to be part of Lyon’s cull. Tottenham have been told to stump up £16m as Villas-Boas looks for a long term replacement for 41 year old Brad Friedel.
21. Mathieu Debuchy
French right-back is apparently very near to completing a move to Newcastle United where he will presumably replace Danny Simpson in the back four.
20. Marouane Fellaini
One of Everton’s prized assets and a player who has been linked with many interested parties both in the Premier League and beyond.
19. Ibrahim Afellay
Unsure of his Barcelona future this Dutch attacker could well be on his way to the Premier League this summer.
18. Maicon
Inter Milan have offloaded a number of their elder statesman and apparently Maicon interests Chelsea greatly.
17. Carlos Tevez
AC Milan are just one of many clubs said to be keen on the troubled, but prolific, Argentine.
16. Robert Lewandowski
Polish forward is said to be a major Man United target following his 30 goal haul last term. Sir Alex Ferguson has already landed one Borussia Dortmund man this summer, could he be going for number two?
15. Emmanuel Adebayor
Said to be close to making his loan move to Tottenham a permanent one, only wage demands seem to stand in the way of the deal being completed.
14. Edinson Cavani
Uruguyan international is apparently set to spark a bidding war between Chelsea & Man City.
13. Theo Walcott
One year left on his contract and wanting a huge pay increase that Wenger is apparently not keen on paying. A number of sides said to be lining up bids for the England winger.
12. Radamel Falcao
Atletico Madrid hotshot said to be of interest to a Chelsea side looking for a viable Didier Drogba replacement.
11. Clint Dempsey
Fulham man is very much in Liverpool’s sights.
10. Iker Muniain
Athletic Bilbao youngster is certainly on Sir Alex Ferguson’s shopping list….
9. Leighton Baines
…as is this Toffees full-back who is apparently seen as a player who can challenge off form Patrice Evra for the left back spot.
8. Oscar
Young Brazilian is apparently closing in on a Chelsea move.
7. Hulk
Another Brazilian said to be on his way to the Premier League, with Chelsea and Tottenham being the most likely destination for the FC Porto man.
6. Christian Eriksen
Young Dane is apparently very keen on a move to Old Trafford.
5. Demba Ba
Newcastle United man is said to have a release clause that many sides are looking to trigger.
4. Luka Modric
Seemingly certain to leave White Hart Lane, the Croatian seems Real Madrid bound.
3. Ganso
Arsenal are said to be very keen on the Santos playmaker, but will they meet the asking price?
2. Lucas Moura
Brazilian youngster is very much a wanted man but whether he moves to the Premier League depends a great deal on whether Sao Paulo are willing to reduce their asking price for the young playmaker.
1. Robin Van Persie
The Arsenal striker is seemingly the hottest property in the current transfer window, and 37 goals last term have clearly helped to increase interest in the Gunners skipper. Apparently Arsene Wenger has already turned down £15m offers for the 28 year old striker, however an Emirates Stadium exit is certainly on the cards.
