Across the major European football leagues, there are a lot of players who have 'outgrown' their present clubs and deserve to move to a bigger team.
Many of these players have been consistent performers for their clubs over the years, which makes them deserving of plying their trades at some of the elite teams in the continent.
On that note, let us have a look at five such players who are too good for their present clubs and may not stay there for too long.
Five players who are too good for their present clubs:
#5 Ruben Neves (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Ruben Neves has been a key player for Wolverhampton Wanderers since his arrival at the club in the summer of 2017.
The former Porto midfielder has been a stalwart in defensive midfield for Wolves and has also contributed up front with his ability to shoot from distance.
Neves may have has only scored twice this season, but he been a key player under Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Sanchez due to his versatility.
Reportedly the subject of interest of many top clubs from around the continent, it remains to be seen if the Portuguese stays put at Wolves or chooses a different challenge.
#4 Mikel Merino (Real Sociedad)
Mikel Merino is one of the most sought-after young midfielders in the game.
After impressing during a loan spell at Newcastle United, the 24-year-old Spaniard was swooped up by Real Sociedad and hasn't looked back since then.
Predominantly a defensive midfielder, Merino's versatility allows him to be deployed across a bevy of positions in the middle third, particularly excelling in a double pivot. The Spanish player is just as impressive further up the field, thanks to his impressive aerial prowess and tackling ability.
Under the tutelage of Imanol Alguacil, Real Sociedad are one of the most exciting young sides in the world, with Moreno at the forefront of the side's team-first philosophy that has earned them rich plaudits.
He has scored only once this season, but considering the range of attributes he possesses, it could only be a matter of time before Moreno moves to a bigger club to ply his trade.
#3 Declan Rice (West Ham United)
Declan Rice is one of the most promising young English players at the moment.
After rising through the ranks at West Ham United, Rice has become one of the standout players for the first team.
He may be only 21 but has already made over 100 Premier League appearances for the Hammers, impressing with his ability to break up play and of also scoring the odd goal.
Reportedly one of Chelsea's most sought-after targets, it remains to be seen how long Rice remains at West Ham, as he has the game to flourish at a better club.
#2 Eduardo Camavinga (Rennes)
Eduardo Camavinga, who is touted as a generational talent, plies his trade for Ligue 1 club Rennes.
The Angola-born French midfielder belied his young years and played a key role to ensure Rennes' qualification for the Champions League last season.
Camavinga's tactical intelligence and versatility are his biggest attributes. Although goal-scoring is an area where he needs to develop further, the teenager did become France's second-youngest goal-scorer ever when he scored for Les Bleus against Switzerland.
Camavinga, who is already on the radar of top European clubs like Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, has impressed his Rennes coach Julien Stephan, who wants the prodigy to remain at the French club for at least another season.
"It would do him good to stay at least one more year at Rennes because he needs to back up what he's done. He's in a place he knows well. He is at a club that has enormous trust in him, and he is surrounded by people who knows him perfectly," said Stephen about his star player.
#1 Jack Grealish (Aston Villa)
Jack Grealish has been a standout player for Aston Villa for quite a while.
The 25-year-old midfielder played over 30 Premier League games for Aston Villa last season, garnering eight goals and six assists, after helping the club gain promotion from the 2018-19 Championship.
This season, Grealish has been in blistering form. He has already scored six times and produced 11 assists in 19 Premier League games. Grealish was brilliant for Villa in their 7-2 humbling of defending champions Liverpool earlier in the season.
Thanks to his exploits, Grealish made his England debut this year. Though he is yet to score a goal for the Three Lions, he has already provided two assists.
If he continues his good form for club and country, it may not be too long before Jack Grealish is snapped up by a bigger club.
