2- David Villa- Barcelona
David Villa is one of the most highly rated strikers in European football, having scored many wonderful goals for Barcelona and Spain. He is capable of scoring spectacular volleys and predatory tap-ins. He has become one of the most wanted strikers in Europe this summer because reports state he is looking to leave Barcelona. The striker has struggled to hold down a regular place in Barcelona’s first team after coming back from injury and will face even more competition for a place next season after Barcelona signed Brazilian star Neymar. Villa is desperate to be a part of Spain’s squad for next summers World Cup and he knows that he will have to be playing regularly in order to keep his place in the side. That is why Villa is looking to move and Liverpool is one of his potential destinations. Rodgers is interested in Villa because he would bring undoubted quality to Liverpool’s squad and plenty of goals which could help the Reds get into the Premier League’s top four next season. However, the Reds will face competition for Villa from many different sides, with Tottenham, Arsenal and Fiorentina all interested in the Spaniard. Spurs appear closest to Villa at the moment and will make a formal approach for the striker once he returns from the Confederations Cup.
