7) Xherdan Shaqiri (Switzerland)
A rumoured target for Liverpool, Switzerland winger Xherdan Shaqiri has not really taken the opportunity to put his disappointing club form with Bayern Munich behind him and perform for his national side in Brazil. The 22-year-old is still one of the best young talents in Europe on his day, but perhaps his lack of regular playing time at Bayern is starting to show as he has so far proven ineffectual for the Swiss, doing little as they scraped a win over Ecuador, and then forming part of the side that were comprehensively thrashed 5-2 by France in their next game. Shaqiri will certainly need to do more to help his country progress from their group, and to help secure him a move to a big club later on in this summer’s transfer window.
