If there’s anything a player can do to get their name mentioned in various transfer gossip columns, it’s perform excellently at the World Cup!
Many stars already have, of course, and we’ve collated an XI of players who could potentially move to the Premier League this summer…
GK) Guillermo Ochoa – Mexico
The Mexican stopper is available on a free from Ajaccio, and put in one of the performances of the tournament against Brazil. Liverpool and Arsenal are sniffing around him.

DR) Serge Aurier – Ivory Coast
Aurier’s likely to join Arsenal as the long term replacement for Frenchman Bacary Sagna.
DC) Mats Hummels – Germany
Manchester United are desperate to sign Hummels, who is Germany’s best defender – but they’ll do well to convince Borussia Dortmund to sell.
DC) Bruno Martins Indi – Holland
Holland’s powerful central defender starred in the Dutch league for Feyenoord last term, and is another centre-back on the radar of new United boss Louis van Gaal – who of course manages him now for the national side.
DL) Marcos Rojo – Argentina
Liverpool are set to make a £12m bid for Rojo, but know they face competition from Barcelona for his signature.
MC) Toni Kroos – Germany
Barcelona are front runners for the Bayern Munich pass master, but a number of clubs, including Chelsea, could make bids for German playmaker should he become available.
MC) Javier Mascherano – Argentina
Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move to re-sign their former midfield battler, but Arsenal and Manchester United could also be interested. A chance to play his favoured central midfield rather than in defence may tempt him…
AMR) Arjen Robben – Holland
Apparently Louis van Gaal has told United to do everything they can to snare arguably the player of the World Cup so far – Arjen Robben. The Bayern owned winger has dazzled so far, providing pace and goals aplenty.
AML) Juan Cuadrado – Colombia
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is rumoured to be in Brazil to discuss terms with the agent of the increasingly impressive Colombian wide man – who starred for Fiorentina in Serie A last term.
AMC/FC) Alexis Sanchez – Chile
Liverpool are desperate to strengthen ahead of next season’s Champions League campaign, and according to former club captain Phil Thompson, a £27m deal has already been agreed.
FC) Mario Mandzukic – Croatia
The Bayern Munich man is surplus to requirements at the Allianz, and a host of Premier League clubs, but also Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, could compete for his signature.
