1) Julian Draxler (Schalke)
Linked with a surprise £17m bid for him earlier this summer, Schalke starlet Julian Draxler has emerged as a target for Tottenham in the recent past, despite being linked with a big-money move to Arsenal back in January. The German international has been a little off form of late, but remains regarded as one of the best young talents in Europe. Still only 20 years old, this skillful attacker can play either out wide or behind the main striker and would certainly represent a major showing of ambition from Tottenham if they could bring him in, though Schalke have shown themselves to be tough bargainers for their prized talent.
