Lyon & Fra
The Lyon-born
attacker caught
the eye with his
performances
against big-hitters
Manchester City
in the Champions
League this
autumn, but OL
president Jean-
Michel Aulas is
likely to play
hardball to get the
best price for his
latest starlet.

(Milan & Ita)
The full-back has
been with Milan
since he was a kid
and is being eyed
by a number of
Premier League
big boys. Currently
under contract at
the San Siro until
the summer of
2022, he prefers
the right side of
the back line but
has also played on
the opposite flank.

(PSV & Hol)
The 21-year-old
winger is enjoying
an exceptional
season and
was thoroughly
deserving of his
first senior cap for
Holland. PSV insist
a summer move to
a wealthier league
will not materialise
but they may be
powerless to resist
a megabucks offer.

(Paris Saint-
Germain & Fra)
One of the few
homegrown
youngsters to have
broken into the
PSG first team, but
he is said to have
become frustrated
at a lack of starts.
A reunion with ex-
boss Unai Emery
at Arsenal has
been mooted.

(Barcelona & Spa)
The 21-year-old
central midfielder
is widely seen as
the brightest talent
to emerge in
recent seasons
from Barca’s
famed La Masia
academy. Has
found first-team
action hard to
come by, but a
reported release
clause of €75m
may deter some.

excited, but he just doesn’t show it on
purpose.”
Club team-mate Wilfried Zaha says of
Wan-Bissaka, who is nicknamed “Spider”
due to his long legs: “He does his
speaking on the pitch and that’s why
everyone likes him.”
