2) Toni Kroos (Real Madrid)
Another fairly expensive signing by most standards at around £20m, but Real Madrid’s new boy Toni Kroos certainly has the potential to go down as a real bargain in today’s market where players such as Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw move for much more than that. Kroos is a world class midfield playmaker, and has been a key member of Bayern Munich’s treble-winning side and Germany’s World Cup-winning side in recent seasons, showing how vital a player he can be at the very highest level. No doubt one who will go down as a steal if he reaches his best form at the Bernabeu.
