#5 Gonzalo Higuain

Gonzalo Higuain may have had a patchy World Cup, but he’s been a standout in the Serie A. The former Real Madrid striker has scored 27 goals in 36 appearances for Napoli who find themselves 2nd in the table and close on the heels of Juventus.

Pipita has flourished on Italian shores and has been in fine form. A player who likes to get his shot off early has found his feet at Napoli after a move away from Spanish giants Real Madrid.Maurizio Sarri has reignited Napoli this season, and Higuain has led their title charge thus far spearheading their attack on countless occasions bagging some priceless goals.

The Argentine prefers a system where he plays as a lone striker and can pinch of defences. Arsenal, Chelsea et all are all going to be in the market for a striker and Higuain has long been touted to grace English shores. At 28, he’s in his prime and can hit the ground running. The Premier League could do with the Argentine’s quality on display.

#4 Antoine Griezmann

The Frenchman has an uncanny ability of being in the right place at the right time. At just 24, Griezmann is making a name for himself in a league that boasts of the likes of Messis and Ronaldos of the world. He's come of age since his Real Sociedad days, making the Spanish league his home and proving time and again. his abilities as a utility forward.

His positional play helps him slide to the wings or play centrally as the need be, striving most when playing in a No. 10 role.Griezmann has scored 20 goals in 36 games for Atletico, a club that is thriving under Diego Simeone. The Argentine’s counter-attacking style has helped Griezmann flourish under this system.

The former Real Sociedad striker can play across the front line with two good feet and an ability to find the back of the net. A player of his quality would light up the Premier League and with most teams looking to strengthen, Griezmann could be snapped up a Premier League club.

#3 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

The Borussia Dortmund striker has been in scintillating form this campaign, banging in a staggering 32 goals from 35 games in total. He’s averaging a goal a game in the Bundesliga and has shouldered much responsibility in mounting a title bid for Thomas Tuchel’s side.

The Gabon international has had the Signal Iduna park rocking and replaced a certain Robert Lewandowski really well. His form has seen Dortmund regain lost ground after a tumultuous last season that saw the departure of Jurgen Klopp. Aubameyang has been one of the top strikers in Europe with his pace and ability to get behind defences benefitting the men in yellow.

The likes of Manchester United are eyeing the striker and the lure of the Premier League could see Aubameyang arrive in England to compete in one of the toughest leagues in the world. His frightening pace coupled with an eye for goal have seen him become a coveted asset for the German club but with many an eye on him, how long could he remain at Dortmund?

#2 Paul Pogba

The former Manchester United man has seen a meteoric rise since his arrival at the Old Lady. He’s won successive titles with Juventus and honed his skill under the guidance of Conte and Allegri, with maestros like Andrea Pirlo mentoring him. Pogba has quickly become a household name with his tremendous control, ability to pick out a pass along with a ferocious shot.

His footballing intelligence helped Juventus reach the Champions League final last season but a move away from Turin seems on the cards. While the likes of Barcelona and Madrid have flirted with him, Premier League teams Chelsea and Manchester City have courted him as well. With the Euros round the corner,

Pogba will catch the fancy of many on the big stage and he may just follow it with a big move. At 22, Pogba's best years lie ahead of him and teams will not shy away from spending over the top for a player who could not crack the first team under Sir Alex Ferguson. He vindicated his decision to move to Juventus, but will his yearning to get better see him move again?

#1 Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The charismatic Swede runs out of contract at the end of the season and has hinted at a move away from the French capital. Zlatan has long flirted with the idea of playing in the Premier League and he could walk into any side and provide an X factor.

The former AC Milan striker still has a couple of years in him at the top and having already graced most leagues in the world, English football could come calling very soon. He’s bagged 30 goals already and with PSG still challenging on many fronts, he could bag even more.

At 34, he still has much to offer and with him coming on a free, Zlatan is definitely worth a punt. His physical stature means he would be a good fit in a gruelling league and his knack for providing the extraordinary could light up the Premier League like never before. But the question remains, which team would Dare To Zlatan?
