#3 Sander Berge

Sheffield United will almost certainly sell Berge this summer.
Sheffield United will almost certainly sell Berge this summer.

A good defensive-minded midfielder, Sander Berge has had a decent Premier League campaign for already relegated Sheffield United.

The 23-year-old Norwegian is best suited to a double pivot, and his defensive awareness can help in liberating teammates. He's a regular starter for his national team.

At a better club side with better management and players, he could do much better. It's almost certain that Sheffield will look to sell Berge, as they have already been relegated, and he is their most saleable asset.

Who should buy him: Arsenal.

As has been mentioned before, Berge's defensive prowess means he could liberate his partner in a double pivot. So someone like Thomas Partey, who is a good ball progressor, could benefit from that.

Although Xhaka currently occupies this role at Arsenal, Berge could act as a rotation option while being a prospect for the future, as his peak is likely to be higher than Xhaka's.


#2 Matheus Pereira

Matheus Pereira could bring some much-needed quality to Newcastle's attack.
Matheus Pereira could bring some much-needed quality to Newcastle's attack.

A skilled attacking player, Matheus Pereira is capable of playing on either wing or behind the striker as well. He is both the leading goalscorer and assists maker for West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League this season.

Pereira possesses typical Brazilian flair and is capable of hitting a mean free-kick. He also has a knack of turning up in big games; he bagged four goal contributions in West Brom's shock 5-2 win over Chelsea.

Who should buy him: Newcastle United.

Newcastle have consistently underwhelmed and have only managed to stick to a midtable position.

Their main problem is in attack, as they have scored only 36 goals in the Premier League this season. Callum Wilson is overburdened with responsibility up front and needs support. So Matheus Pereira, with his skills, creativity and versatility, could be a welcome addition to their frontline.


#1 Frank Zambo-Anguissa

Frank Zambo-Anguissa is an all-round midfield package.

Frank Zambo-Anguissa should not be anywhere near a relegation-threatened team. He plays at a significantly higher level and deserves to play in Europe.

He is a good passer and has a good defensive game as well. He is good in winning the ball back, making 1.5 interceptions and 2.2 tackles per game this Premier League season, and starting attacks through his dribbles.

Anguissa ranks very high in the 2020-21 Premier League for both dribbles and take-ons, which means he can play his way out of trouble and kickstart attacks.

Who should buy him: Liverpool.

Liverpool are set to lose Georgino Wijnaldum in the summer, so they'll need a replacement. Frank Zambo-Anguissa could be that player.

Not only is he tenacious and hardworking like the Dutchman, but he also brings in added quality and an X-factor, thanks to his ball-carrying prowess.
