Premier League clubs are always vigilant in their search for potential new talent.
As the summer transfer window approaches in less than three months, we highlight three big talents who are heavily linked with a move to England.
Santiago Gimenez (Feyenoord)
Many Eredivisie stars have made Premier League moves over the years with mixed success.
The next to take the leap from the Dutch top tier could well be Santiago Gimenez, who has been prolific for Feyenoord this term.
With 24 goals in 35 games across all competitions, it is no surprise to see the Mexico international linked with the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham.
The Hammers pondered a move in January but nothing materialized, though their interest is said to remain strong.
Jean-Clair Todibo (Nice)
In France, Nice are on course for continental qualification thanks largely to possessing Ligue 1’s joint-meanest defence this term.
The star of that formidable backline is 24-year-old Jean-Clair Todibo, who is being strongly touted for a summer switch to Manchester United.
Les Bleus international Todibo joined Barca as a teenager but failed to fire in Catalonia, though now looks every inch an elite centre-back.
New Red Devils co-owner Jim Ratcliffe also has a controlling stake in the French club, which logically would help facilitate a deal.
However, fresh reports suggest senior figures at Nice will rebuff any enquiries for their talisman — hinting a saga may be on the cards.
Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich)
Despite being a staple of Bayern Munich’s midfield, Jamal Musiala’s future is up in the air.
The 21-year-old German, who cut his teeth in the academies of Southampton and Chelsea, represented England Under-21s before opting to play for his birth nation.
And though Bayern are desperate to keep one of world football’s brightest talents, their hand could soon be forced according to recent reports.
