Transfer Window: Midfielders and Strikers To target
By David Crook
Foreign Talents
Kenneth Taylor
Is a 17 year old Dutch player at Ajax who has just started to break through into the first team this season. He has made 11 appearances, mostly from the bench and has knocked up 2 assists. He is a deep lying central midfielder who can also play at defensive midfield. The hope is that he will be the next Frenkie De Jong.
Donyell Malen
Donyell is a 19 year old striker playing for PSV Eindhoven. Previously he was a youth team player at Arsenal, but we should not hold that against him. This season he has lit up the Eredivisie with a series of star turns, bagging 11 goals in just 14 appearances. The downside is that his agent is Mino Raiola so maybe that would scupper any deal!
Kai Havertz
Is a 20 year old attacking midfielder playing for Bayer Leverkuson in the Bundesliga. Last year he was being touted as a future star, but this year he has failed so far to fully realise that potential, in part as he has supposedly agitated for a move. Apparently being scouted by Liverpool and rumoured to be in the £60 to £80million bracket.
Christopher Nkunku
Is a 22 year old French player currently tearing up the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig. He has 3 goals and 9 assists in 16 games where his consistently high performances have brought some rave reviews. He only joined last Summer from PSG so may be difficult to prise away right now, but he is the stand out performer in the Bundesliga right now.
