With the money that has been poured into Paris Saint German and AS Monaco, French top flight Ligue 1 is re-emerging as one of the most respected and interesting on the continent. It has, however, always provided a stream of talented players to the Premier League, and this summer should see another batch cross the channel and arrive at English sides.
1) David Ospina
Nice’s Colombian international goalkeeper David Ospina will be hoping that he can secure a big move away with some impressive performances at the World Cup. Premier League giants Arsenal have already been linked with a move for Ospina as Arsene Wenger looks to replace Lukasz Fabianski with another player capable of offering a challenge to first choice Wojciech Szczesny. Nice have had a disappointing season in Ligue 1, only narrowly avoiding relegation to the French second flight, something that may have been a reality had it not been for the impressive performances of Ospina between the sticks.
