9) Mateo Kovacic – Inter Milan
The young Croatian has emerged as our no.1 central midfield target upon Gerrard’s departure. He’s 21, insanely talented and available for the right price… The Metro reckon we’re closing in.
10) Edinson Cavani – PSG
The Uruguayan forward is one of the best in the business, but has been more heavily linked to Man United who need to replace Falcao (via Metro).
11) Carlos Bacca – Sevilla
The first of two Colombian forwards on the list, Bacca lit up Europe with Sevilla in 2014/15, helping them secure a second consecutive Europa League. He bags goals for fun in Spain, but we’re not sure this would translate in England – as he’s quite static.
12) Geoffrey Kondogbia – AS Monaco
Kondogbia would be a great signing. He’s immensely powerful, and provides more discipline than Kovacic would in the centre. Monaco boss Jardim reckons Kondogbia could be sold (via Daily Star), but the report thinks Arsenal are frontrunners. Let’s hope they focus on Morgan Schneiderlin and we can snare his more talented international compatriot.
