Top 25 Potential Transfers in the Summer Window

Eden Hazard

The young Belgian has had a season to remember for his side, LOSC Lille. 20 goals and 16 assists, coupled with the Player of the Year award, has made him the most wanted player in Europe.

Who's after him : Arsenal, Chel$ea, Manchester United, Mansour City, Tottenham, Real Madrid, PSG

Neymar

Dubbed ' The New Pele', Neymar has dazzling the Santos fans with his sublime technique and skill. But like all good players, there comes a time where they have to wave goodbye to their loyal supporters in search of a new beginning.

Who's after him : Barcelona, Real Madrid

Lucas Moura

Another exciting prospect from the South American country, his technique is closely related to that of a certain Andres Iniesta. Speed, Close Control, and a blistering shot. Whoever signs him up now, will reap the rewards in future.

Who's after him : Real Madrid

Christian Eriksen

8 goals and , wait for it, 21 assists has made the young Dane a target for many top sides. Imagine a younger Mesut Ozil and you've got Eriksen.

Who's after him : Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid

Yann M'Vila

Unless Chelsea sabotage Arsenal once again for the French powerhouse, this player will lead Arsenal and France to future glory. A serious replacement for Patrick Vieira.

Who's after him : Arsenal

Edinson Cavani

Chelsea have lost a legend in Didier Drogba. A powerful presence that has tormented Premier League back-lines for the past eight years. So who better to replace him than the striker who tormented Chelsea this season. Fast, strong, and a deadly finisher.

Who's after him : Chelsea, Manchester City

Hulk

He really lives up to his billing. Not only a rapid attacker, but is as strong as a bull, and packed with mind blowing skill. Kieran Gibbs should be praying for him not to come to the Premier League.

Who's after him : Chelsea, Manchester City

Shinji Kagawa

Manchester United may have missed the boat with Samir Nasri last year, but Shinji Kagawa should wipe those tears away. 17 goals and 13 assists in the Bundesliga last season, his £16.7 million valuation should bring tears of joy to the Manchester United faithful.

Who's after him : Manchester United

Javi Martinez

The versatile defender-cum-midfielder led Athletic Bilbao to the Europa League final with his elegant and faultless performances. Spain might not need Puyol fit after all.

Who's after him : Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona

Luis Suarez

Liverpool, drastically, missing out on Champions League football for the third year running will surely frustrate the tricky Uruguayan. His race row with Patrice Evra might also convince him to move overseas.

Who's after him : Inter Milan, Juventus, PSG

Robin Van Persie

The name on everyone's lips. Will he sign on? Where will he go? With the Dutchman yet to pen a new deal with the Gunners, it is looking more likely than ever that the Premier League's star performer will leave his beloved (club).

Who's after him : Barcelona, Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester City

Falcao

After only one season spent playing in La Liga, the Colombian show-stopper is already being sought after another fruitful season. How fruitful? 36 goals.

Who's after him : Chelsea

Gareth Bale & Luka Modric

After Spurs were painfully denied Champions League football, the duo might seek top European action elsewhere.

Who's after them : Barcelona, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea

Wesley Sneijder

After a torturous season with Inter Milan, Sneijder will probably look overseas for a renewed season at the top level.

Who's after him : Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City

Younes Belhanda

" He's a player I like a lot"
- Arsene Wenger

When a manager who went 49 consecutive games without defeat in the world's most demanding league says that about a player, you know he's a very special talent.

Who's after him : Arsenal

Olivier Giroud

Easily comparable to Chelsea's recently departed Didier Drogba. Giroud topped the Ligue 1 scoring charts, hitting 21 goals as the underdogs, Montpellier, beating off tough opposition to lift the league title. To put this into perspective, imagine last season's Bolton winning the Premier League. And David N'gog topping the goal chart.

Who's after him : Arsenal, Chelsea, PSG

Fernando Llorente

His powerful performances spearheaded Athletic Bilbao to the Europa League final, terrorising Manchester United's back four. Set to lead Spain's front-line in Euro 2012.


Who's after him : Manchester United, Tottenham, Barcelona

Iker Munain

The 'Basque Messi's eccentric skill and lightning agility helped his club, Athletic Bilbao, to European stardom.

Who's after him : Manchester United, Barcelona

Roberto Soldado

52 goals in 95 games for Valencia has enhanced his reputation as a steel nerved finisher. If Spain need a goalscorer, they need not look further than Roberto.

Who's after him : Chelsea, Malaga, Liverpool, Tottenham

Demba Ba

Undoubtedly, the best signing of the season in the first half, has drastically dropped in form in the second half, but still a proven goal threat. A release clause in his contract at Newcastle could interest many top sides.

Who's after him : Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham

Gylfi Sigurdsson

The Icelandic midfielder impressed while on loan at Swansea, and that's been the problem for the Welsh side as he has developed so well that they cannot afford to sign him on a permanent basis. Could remain at his parent club, Hoffenheim, or seek success elsewhere.

Who's after him : Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle, Tottenham


Thiago Silva

Likened to Manchester United stalwart, Rio Ferdinand. With AC Milan ending the season trophy less, Thiago might be looking to move on.

Who's after him : Barcelona, Manchester United, Real Madrid

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The experienced Swede might also look elsewhere for a new start. It's certain he has no shortage of suitors.

Who's after him : Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea

Kaka

At 30 years years of age, you'd think that he's past his best. Nonsense. Sure Mesut Ozil has trumped him to the Central Midfield role at Real Madrid, but the Brazilian still has the talent to bamboozle defences even at his age.

Who's after him : Arsenal, Malaga, AC Milan, PSG

Gonzalo Higuain

The Argentine has enjoyed another productive season with the Spanish champions, Real Madrid, but constantly being benched for Karim Benzema could lead to his departure.

Who's after him : Juventus, Manchester City, AC Milan, PSG

Football's Potential Apps

South American Guide to Manchester


Who better to give an insight into the life of a Manchester home-owner in the ermmm..beeeaaaautiful? footballing city, than two men who live ( or rather have lived) there for a combined 5 years? None other than AC Milan's Robinho and Carlos Tevez ( whereabouts unknown).

Mario Makes Your Choice with Mario Balotelli

Tired of your daily routine? The 9 to 5 iver? The School Run? Rush Hour on the M40? Then all over again. Worry no more, WAM? Ltd have developed an app that lets none other than the articulate and selfless Mario Balotelli make those decisions for you.

Example:

" What should I put for packed lunch tomorrow?"
Mario : " Caviar and crushed diamonds"

" What should I spend my bonus on?"
Mario : " Hand it over to the local street vagrant"

" Should I dump my girlfriend, while she's being interviewed on national television, by text?"
Mario : " Yes you should"

iKen speak Daglish


" Mumble....Luis Suarez......mumble mumble......the boy's got potential.....mumble........only £35 million.......mumble......Stevie G"

Ever wondered what ' King' Kenny is actually saying?  The Liverpool squad have certainly been affected by his low pitched team selections, they obviously can't understand what he is saying if Jordan Henderson starts each game and Jay Spearing gets a first team place as well. Well wonder no more, the team, tired of his murmuring in his half time team talks and pre match squad listing, have created an app that lets the user amplify Kenny's voice whenever he's doing a TV interview.

Note: Charlie Adam was unavailable to aid the players in development, he's still looking for that ball.

Monitor your Heart Rate with Arsene Wenger

Think you're the only one that can get angry? Enter Arsene Wenger. After 16 years of painfully obvious fouls, offsides and penalties not being given, 'The Boss' has constructed an app to measure your heart rate in terms of football events.

Example:

" Away day at the Britannia"

" Last minute penalty not given to Arsenal"

" Last minute penalty given against Arsenal"

" Didier Drogba tumbling over to a Denilson challenge"

" Blatant handball at Old Trafford"

" Letting a 2 goal lead slip at the hands of your fierce rivals"

" Letting a 4 goal lead slip at the hands of Newcastle"

Messi Tracking System

The Arsenal team could have really used this last year. If you're a player about to go toe to toe with the Argentine Maestro, you can't step onto the pitch without this application. Follow the runs and shut out the magician, well try.

For an additional £1, add Iniesta and Pedro to the tracked wizards list.

UEFA Champions League Team of the Year 2011/2012

GK: Petr Cech

Along with luck, Cech has been Chelsea's star player in an otherwise abysmal squad. Neuer is a very close second, but he is playing with great players, unlike Cech.

Kept out 10 shots by the Barca team, and was saved by the woodwork twice.

RB: Philip Lahm

Best RB in the world. I was blind in thinking Sagna was better than this player. Dangerous in attack, as well as defence, leader, and is the most consistent player in their team.

Made 46 tackles and 38 interceptions, and only committed 4 fouls.

LB: Ashley Cole

Chelsea's second goalkeeper. Napoli, Barcelona. Most consistent performer in their team.

Made 35 tackles and 18 interceptions in his 11 games in the UCL for Chelsea, and also contributed 2 assists

CB: Alessandro Nesta

May be past it, but he still knows a thing or two. Applying show stopping tackles in both of his encounters with Messi & Co, he was an inspiration to the team.

Made 6 interceptions and 5 tackles in both of his fine performances against the Catalan giants.

CB: Paulo Jorge

You do not know this man. Long story short, the player who won APOEL Nicosia the game against French giants, Lyon, a result that will be forever written in the history books of the minnows from Cyprus. His courageous defensive performance against the European powerhouse makes this position his own.

Vs Lyon. 3 interceptions, 11 clearances, 7 being effective, 3 shots blocked, 1 offside won, not a booking to his name.

CDM: Xabi Alonso

He has proved to be the Best Holding Midfielder in the world this season. With stellar performances against every team Real Madrid have come up against. Real Madrid's regista.

701 successful passes/787 attempted passes - 89.1% pass accuracy

CM: Franck Ribery

Has been Bayern's best player all season, marginally overtaking Toni Kroos. Dismantled Mansour City's defence in the group stages and led the German side to the final.

Only Messi has attempted more dribbles than him. Messi = 44, Ribery = 39

CM: Mesut Ozil

Words alone cannot describe the intelligence of this man. The maestro of this powerful Madrid side that has been unstoppable this season.

He made a total of 31 key passes in the competition, averaging 3.1 KP per game. The second highest in the competition.

RW: Lionel Messi

Best player in the history of the beautiful game. Simples.

32 KP, 890 passes, 44 dribbles, 5 assists and 14 goals. All done within 10 games.

LW: Cristiano Ronaldo

Can't have one without the other. But seriously...

10 goals, 3 assists. Just another year for Ronnie.

ST: Didier Drogba

Mario Gomez and Karim Benzema both had good reason to be selected for this team. But none have done what Drogba has done for this Chelsea team. Opening goal versus Napoli to kick-start their comeback. Winner versus Barcelona. Equaliser against Munich in the final. Chelsea hero.

7 games, 6 goals. European defenders can breath a sigh of relief now that Drogba is going to leave Chelsea.

Who should Arsenal sign to challenge for the title?

The Shortlist:

Marvin Martin - Sochaux

Eden Hazard - LOSC Lille

Mamadou Sakho - Paris Saint Germain

Gary Cahill - Bolton Wanderers

Marvin Martin

In his new contract at Sochaux, there states a 'End of Season Get Out Clause' which means that there has been a mutual agreement by Marvin and his club, Sochaux, of him leaving at the end of the 2011/12 season. This is the opportunity Arsenal should grab with both hands. This player might be relatively unknown to many of you, but last season he finished as Ligue 1's top creator as he provided 17 assists for his team mates, and on his debut for the French national team, he came on with 15 minutes left on the clock and left with a spectacular brace of goals and an assist. This proves that he can perform on the big stage. He is the real replacement for Fabregas.

Eden Hazard

At a tender age of 20, Eden Hazard has made 22 appearances for the Belgian National Team, won Ligue 1 Player of the Year after winning the Young Player of the Year Award twice in a row before that. The France legend, Zinedine Zidane proclaimed that 'Hazard will be a major star'. I can tell you now that Eden will not only replace Nasri, but will eclipse him from our memories. If I was Arsene Wenger, I would do whatever it takes to sign this player.

Mamadou Sakho

I can say without a doubt in my mind that wherever Sakho goes on from now it will only be upwards. A big transfer to a big club, European glory and captaincy for the French National Team, that is what he was destined to do. He will achieve all of those goals if Arsene Wenger pays up. A physical presence, mobile and aerially dominant, this ticks all the boxes that Arsenal need in defence. He is the same player that Sol Campbell was in his prime at Arsenal. He will be a boulder in our defence for years to come if he signs for us.

Gary Cahill

The last player that we need to sign is the most obvious of the four: Gary Cahill. Arsenal have been heavily linked with this player and the Arsenal faithful are are crying out for him. Recently breaking into the England squad as a regular alongside John Terry and is the backbone of the Bolton team. He is aerially dominant, fast and strong, he is also prone to single handedly holding a whole team at bay, as he did last year at Old Trafford against Manchester United, Man U won the game 1-0, but it would have been a lot more without Gary Cahill at the back. As well as being excellent defensively, he can score as well, netting for England and Bolton this season. With only 6 months left in his contract in January and with no intention of signing a new one, Bolton have no choice but to let him go at a cut price from his supposed £17,000,000 price tag, or rather risk him moving on in the summer on a free. But Arsenal must act quickly as Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City are all after him as well.
