A big, powerful midfielder who can dominated in the middle of the park. That’s arguably something we’ve been missing for a long time. Is he ready to make the step up to this kind of level? That’s impossible to call at this stage, but if we can strike a deal with Sporting then most people should consider it an excellent deal for the future.
2) Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund) – linked by The Telegraph
We’ve started dreaming now. The German is one of the best players on the planet. Not only would he be the perfect replacement for Sterling, he’d bring a lot more to the table as well. Let’s not forget that Roberto Firmino can play up front – imagine pairing him with Reus and Philippe Coutinho. It’s enough to make us start drooling.
1) Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon) – linked by Daily Express
Perhaps the only man better served to playing alongside our Brazilian duo is this man – one of the most feared up and coming strikers in European football. He scored 31 goals in all competitions last season and until he has put pen to paper on a new contract the speculation regarding his future will continue. Young, strong, quality player.
