10) Aymeric Laporte – Athletic Bilbao – €23.956m
The Frenchman is a top quality centre-back, and is arguably one of the most promising young talents in football. Technically he’s perfect, and his physical defensive attributes will improve with age.
9) Luke Shaw – Manchester United – €25.390m
United paid a huge amount for the former Southampton man and it’s great to see that he’s so far been an outrageous flop.
8) Jose Luis Gaya – Valencia – €25.873m
Gaya is one of the most highly rated young left-backs in the game, and it’s difficult to see him remaining at Valencia for too much longer.
7) Mateo Kovacic – Inter Milan – €26.137m
A player that has been heavily linked with us recently (via Sky Sports), Kovacic is already a top quality midfielder for the Italians. We wouldn’t mind if we went back in for him before the end of the summer window.
6) Hakan Calhanoglu – Bayer Leverkusen – €27.431m
Arguably the best free-kick specialist in football, the young midfielder lit up the Bundesliga last season.
