    • Chelsea scouts have recommended signing the powerful forward, valued at £42m, to strengthen their attack.
  • Marc Guehi

    • Linked with Chelsea and Newcastle, the England international's potential move may happen in the summer as Palace seek a significant fee.
  • Levi Colwill

    • Chelsea have firmly stated the young defender is not for sale despite consistent interest from top European clubs.
  • Benjamin Sesko

    • Age: 21
    • The Slovenian striker continues to draw attention with his versatility and goal-scoring ability.
  • Florian Wirtz
    • Club: Bayer Leverkusen
    • Age: 21
    • Among the Bundesliga’s brightest talents, Wirtz is viewed as a prime target for Europe's elite teams.

    • A key figure for Bayern, Davies' market value remains high, with interest from Premier League clubs growing

This is short election of the 30 player list included in this article. Most notable for me was to see Levi included in this list.  Personally I would be gutted to see him go.
