8) Juan Cuadrado (Fiorentina)
A stand-out performer for Fiorentina in Serie A last season, Juan Cuadrado followed up his strong club form with some dazzling displays for Colombia at this summer’s World Cup.
A pacey and skillful winger with an eye for goal, the talented 26-year-old is a superbly entertaining player to watch, and would fit in well alongside the other stars of the Premier League.
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have all been linked with him, though Barcelona may be the favourites to win the race for his signature.
