1) Kevin Strootman – AS Roma
The Dutchman is currently injured, which is the reason he isn’t at the World Cup, but Louis van Gaal is known to rate him extremely highly. Physically, he’s far more impressive than Herrera, which makes him more suited to the Premier League. Far from being just a powerhouse though, Strootman can drive through the middle with the ball at his feet, and create chances thanks to impressive vision. It’s possible though that he’ll be signed in January once he proves his fitness.
