3) Ivan Rakitic – Sevilla (The Mirror)
The Croatian’s La Liga club are desperate to keep hold of their talismanic skipper, who Liverpool are targeting as a possible long-term replacement for their inspirational captain Steven Gerrard.
This term, Rakitic has scored 12 and assisted 10, which is practically identical to the stats racked up Gerrard himself in the Premier League.
Rakitic can pray long diagonals, or slip more intricate passes into the feet of onrushing strikers.
His transfer fee will likely be significant, however.
