ROBERT SKOV


(Nice, Fra & Alg)
The full-back has
impressed during
his first season in
Ligue 1, particularly
with his attacking
runs down the
right flank. Reports
suggest that he
is being tracked
by Tottenham
Hotspur and
Atletico Madrid
among others.


(Galatasaray,
Tur & Bra)
The centre-back
only moved to
Turkey in January
from Portuguese
club Chaves but
there is already
talk of hard-up
Gala turning a
profit on their
€4m investment
by selling him on
while he still has
three years to run
on his contract.

(Basle & Swi)
Centre-half who
was born in Basle
and is the Swiss
under-21 captain,
though he is of
Turkish descent
and could still
change allegiance.
Has yet to agree a
new contract with
his club, sparking
talk of interest
from Arsenal and
Everton.

(Copenhagen & Den)
Able to operate
out on the flank or
as the playmaker,
he was recently
called up to the
senior Denmark
squad and has
been watched by
a host of Premier
League teams
after an impressive
first year in
Copenhagen.

(Boavista & Por)
The teenage
central defender
has enjoyed
an impressive
breakthrough
season in Portugal,
prompting talk of a
step up from the
national under-19
side to the senior
set-up. Watford,
Internazionale and
Lazio are among
the clubs looking
to sign him.

says Galtier. “It wasn’t obvious. I finally
realised he could perform the same sort
of job as Juninho used to do at Lyon.
“He needs to have the game in front of
him. He’s a personality and someone with
whom I can exchange ideas. He really
thinks about the game.”
