Ten young talents the could be on the move this summer.
10. Andre Hahn – Augsburg
The 23-year-old winger has been making the headlines lately after being called up to the German national side for the first time last month. Fleet footed and with an eye for goal, Aston Villa have been linked with an ambitious move for him at the end of the season.
9. Alberto Moreno – Sevilla
The Spanish under-21 international has seen himself become one of the most sought after full-back’s in europe this season, having attracted interest from both Real and Atletico Madrid, Manchester City and Napoli. However, with Europe on the cards for Sevilla, they may be hoping they can convince him to stay.
8. Remy Cabella – Montpellier
The attacking midfielder is being granted his wish of an exit from the former Ligue 1 champions this summer as long as interested clubs meet his €15m valuation. Several Premier League clubs including Newcastle United and Manchester United have both been linked with his signature recently.
7. Joel Veltman – Ajax
The young centre-back has enjoyed a fine breakthrough season at the Amsterdam ArenA as they continue to chase another Eredivisie title. His form has attracted admiring glances from sides in the Premier League and Serie A, but club technical director Marc Overmars has insisted that he will reject all overtures for his prized starlet this summer.
6. Martin Hinteregger – Red Bull Salzburg
The 21-year-old Austrian international is set for a huge future in the game and is just one of the latest stars coming off the Salzburg production line. A number of top sides are all eager to snap him up and Liverpool, Inter Milan and Barcelona have all been scouting him this term.
5. William Carvalho – Sporting Lisbon
Carvalho has burst onto the scene this season and has been a revelation for Lisbon’s second side. Manchester United have been heavily linked after some extensive scouting from David Moyes, but he comes attached with a large fee.
4. Eliaquim Mangala – FC Porto
The young French centre-back has been in superb form for Porto this season and has been targeted by some of Europe’s finest, including Paris Saint Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City. He arrived at the Portuguese club for just €6.5m form Standard Liege, but is expected to command anywhere up to €34m this time around.
3. Antoine Griezmann – Real Sociedad
The French dribbler has been a revelation in front of goal for Sociedad this term and has enjoyed two spectacular seasons in which he has scaled the heights of the Champions League. Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain have all been keeping tabs on him and he will likely move on at the end of the season.
2. Luke Shaw – Southampton
Shaw is just the latest in a long line of top young talent to make their way through the academy system on the south coast. He has recently made his debut for the England national side too, which has only increased the resolve of Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City in taking him away from St Mary’s.
1. Julian Draxler – Schalke
The attacking midfielder’s future has been the subject of national debate in Germany as purists don’t want to see him go the same way as Lewis Holtby or Marko Marin. However, both Arsenal and Bayern Munich are locked in a €45m battle to snap him up.
