Soon after the winter transfer window closed, talk about a summer one began. And there are reasons for this. In the current campaign, many players are performing as expected. Some even perform above expectations. It is not surprising that top clubs are looking at such players. Perhaps some of them will move to the next level in a few months.
Santiago Jimenez (Feyenoord)
Jimenez has been discussed for much of the season. This can easily be explained by the fact that many teams need quality forwards, but getting them is quite difficult. This season, the 22-year-old striker has played 28 matches in the Eredivisie and scored 21 goals – 6 more than in the entire previous campaign. The young Mexican has been linked with a number of clubs, including Napoli, West Ham and Arsenal. Perhaps in the summer there will be even more contenders for the player. Jimenez is enjoying his second season in a row at a high level as his team’s top scorer and deserves a chance at promotion.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
Watkins has long established himself as a quality player in English football. He went from the fourth division to the Premier League, and only scored fewer than 10 goals in one season. It is strange that so far none of the top Premier League clubs have offered anything for the 28-year-old striker, given that he has been spending his entire career in England. Watkins is enjoying his best season in the Premier League, scoring 18 goals in 31 appearances. And every year he scores more and more. Last season, the forward scored 15 goals, the year before – 11. For Aston Villa, qualifying for the Champions League and even the Europa League would be a success, but such a player deserves to play in these tournaments regularly.
Ivan Tawney (Brentford)
Tawny has a similar situation. He has also come a long way in English football, starting in the fourth division. Tawney first began to be talked about seriously in the 2020/21 season, when he scored 33 goals in the Championship. Ivan helped Brentford achieve promotion and then scored 12 and 20 goals in two Premier League seasons. The 28-year-old striker has scored only four goals in 13 matches this campaign, but it is worth considering that he missed half the season due to suspension. It’s looking like Brentford will lose their top scorer. This was confirmed by the head coach of the Bees, Thomas Frank. There is a place for such a player in the Premier League at a higher level.
Victor Diekeres (Sporting)
Győkeres has been making people talk about himself for several years now – ever since his time in the Championship. In the 2020/21 season, Victor scored 17 goals for Coventry in the second division of the English Championship, and the following year – 21, and gave the “sky blues” hope for promotion. After such a successful performance in the Championship, the footballer received many serious offers, but chose Sporting to play under the leadership of Ruben Amorim. Things are going even better for him there. In the current season of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, the 25-year-old striker scored 22 goals in 26 matches and set a personal scoring record. If Amorim is actively linked with leaving Sporting, then the Swede probably won’t stay there for long.
Ten Kopmijners (Atalanta)
Atalanta knows how to find good players and sell them profitably. In the summer of 2021, the Bergamasques signed Kopmeiners from AZ for a decent 14 million euros, but the transfer paid off. The Dutchman has become an important player for the team and helps them achieve certain goals. This season, the 26-year-old midfielder has scored 14 points in the goal+assist system (11+3) in Serie A – the same number as in the entire previous campaign. Kopmeiners recently announced his desire to leave Atalanta, move to a higher level and help the Bergamasques earn a decent amount from his sale. All this could very well happen in the summer.
Pascal Gross (Brighton)
Although Brighton have not been as good this season as they were last season, the club still have a good mix of players. And not only young people. While everyone was discussing the progress of Kaoru Mitoma and Evan Ferguson, Pascal Gross suddenly began to progress. The German moved to Brighton with experience of playing for Ingolstadt and other German clubs, but it was in England that he reached a new level. Moreover, things went so well for Gross that he even received a call to the German national team. In the current Premier League season, the 32-year-old midfielder has provided 10 assists, in the previous one there were 8. The German made his presence known late, but still not so late that he wouldn’t try to catch a trophy somewhere.
Nico Williams (Athletic)
Athletic became the surprise team of the current season. The Basques have many players who contribute to their success, but several players can be singled out separately. For example, Nico Williams, due to his youth and great potential. The 21-year-old winger is currently enjoying a very good season, having scored 3 goals and 8 assists in 24 La Liga matches. He scored 11 points using the goal+assist system, more than in the entire previous campaign. According to rumors, Barcelona is showing great interest in Williams. The player is not against moving to the Catalan club. If a football player has a real chance to move to the top level, he needs to try. You still have your whole career ahead of you, so it’s not scary to make mistakes.
Jonathan David (Lille)
The media have been sending David to a top club for several years now, but he still remains at Lille and continues to churn out goals. This season, the 24-year-old striker has already scored 16 goals in 28 Ligue 1 matches. This is his second-best performance record during his entire stay in France. He scored 24 goals last campaign. The Canadian is second only to Kylian Mbappe in the scoring race. It is likely that both of these guys will leave their clubs in the near future. It is practically known where Mbappe will go. With David, things are not so clear. Among the contenders for the player are Milan and Napoli; the player himself wants to join the Premier League. Everything will depend on proposals, and they should definitely appear in the summer.
