In world football, some players value loyalty over anything else, others are influenced by financial resources, whereas a large number of players dream of conquering trophies and are ready to make a move to a new club, in order to achieve this objective.
In many situations, the club hinders the player's career, or to say the least, prevents him from achieving a much more successful legacy that a footballer with such remarkable talent, deserves to have.
Without further ado, here are the top 5 players who we believe, deserve to move to a better club, than the one they are currently at:
#5 Malcom (Bordeaux)
The French league has always been an excellent league for young players to develop, before moving to the top European leagues such as England's, with César Azpilicueta, Michael Essien, Eden Hazard, Olivier Giroud, Alexandre Lacazette as examples.
Malcom's situation does not seem to be any different, as the rising attacker has set the Ligue 1 on fire this season, having already scored 7 goals and mustered 4 assists. Bordeaux are extremely dependent on their 20-year old at the moment.
In fact, in his absence due to injury in the last two games, the French side has suffered two straight defeats against Strasbourg and Toulouse, without even managing to score a consolation goal.
What makes Malcom special, is his ability to take on opponents, as well as setting-up his teammates with goalscoring chances. The rising winger is deadly in the final third, and possesses a very versatile skill-set that allows him to make the difference.
With the Brazilian's current form, it will be extremely difficult for Bordeaux to manage to hold-up on him in the next summer transfer window. A lot of European sides have so far been linked with Malcom, namely Sevilla and Liverpool.
One thing is sure, the youngster is ready to make the step forward because right now, he is simply way too good in comparison with the rest of his teammates.
#4 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
Tottenham are definitely no minnows, far from it, in fact. They offer Harry Kane the chance to ply his trade in the best league in the world, and are having a very convincing run in the UEFA Champions League.
However, let's be realistic. There is absolutely no chance that Tottenham will win the league title this season, and nothing hints that they will be the favourites in the next title race. Their fairy-tale story in Europe could well last for longer, if they were to successfully overcome Italian giants Juventus.
But then again, will they snatch the title away from the likes of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Manchester City and FC Bayern? Probably not.
It is no dig at the Londoners, but Harry Kane is widely regarded as the best striker in England, and is amongst the top three central forwards in the world, to say the least. In other words, he has the quality to play for clubs capable of providing him with the chance of winning the English Premier League, La Liga, or the Champions League.
Kane has found the net 18 times on 20 different occasions for Tottenham in this campaign. His scoring form is simply phenomenal, so he will certainly not be short of offers, if he ever decides to leave White Hart Lane.
#3 Fabinho (AS Monaco)
Fabinho imposed himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in the European scene last season, as he helped AS Monaco clinch the French league title away from Paris Saint-Germain, while being fundamental and their impressive run in the UEFA Champions League, before being eliminated at the hands of Juventus in the semi-final.
Monaco agreed to sell many of their key players, such as Benjamin Mendy and Bernardo Silva to Manchester City, Tiemoue Bakayoko to Chelsea and Kylian Mbappé to Paris Saint Germain.
However, when PSG and Manchester United came calling for Fabinho, the club refused to sell him at any reasonable price. The midfielder felt for a moment like he was a prisoner at the club, and did not understand why his teammates were allowed to leave, while he was not.
After a lot of fuss, Fabinho had no choice but to remain where he is. Monaco have notably regressed this season, far away from PSG in the league standings, and have already been eliminated from the Champions League, after failing to progress past the group stage.
Meanwhile, compatriots Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Dani Alves and Neymar are enjoying great success in the French side.
Paris Saint-Germain are desperate for a defensive midfielder at the moment, especially after the frequent injuries to Thiago Motta. Fabinho would have been, and would actually still be, a perfect fit in their tactical scheme.
#2 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund)
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been one of the best players in the German league, since his transfer to Borussia Dortmund back in 2013. The 28-year old has remained at the club during the good moments as well as the bad ones, as the club has already lost the services of many key players, namely Mats Hummels, Ilkay Gundogan and Ousmane Dembélé.
Aubameyang was the goalscorer of the Bundesliga last season, with 31 goals - a total of 43% of Dortmund's total league goals. This season, he is already on 12 goals, and fighting with FC Bayern ace Robert Lewandowski for leadership at the top of the goal-scoring charts.
The Gabonese has a remarkable burst of pace, and is well capable of running behind defenders and attacking space, where he is absolutely deadly, as his stats suggest.
Meanwhile, Dortmund have been a total disaster this season, and are trailing behind Bayern Munich by a gap of ten points. In the UEFA Champions League, the situation was not any better, as they have been eliminated from the group stage.
Loyalty aside, Aubameyang is well-aware that he's got all what it takes to ply his trade for a side capable of winning major trophies. The sad truth for BVB fans, is that the club is, at the moment, preventing him from winning silverware.
#1 Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)
Alexis Sanchez's contract runs out in June, as he is yet to renew with Arsenal. As a matter of fact, the Chilean has refused to dedicate his future to the club, making it clear that he is considering other options.
Since his arrival to Arsenal back in 2014, Alexis Sanchez has consistently been one of their best performers. Last season, for example, the Chile international scored 24 goals and provided 10 assists in league action.
However, what has Arsenal offered for the veteran in return? In his fourth season at the club, Alexis has won nothing besides two FA Cups in 2015 and 2017 respectively.
A player with his quality, who is undeniably one of the finest footballers in the English Premier League, certainly deserves to be adding more trophies to his tally, for he is already 28 and has never won the UEFA Champions League, nor even the EPL.
In the summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain, FC Bayern and Manchester City were reportedly keen on landing the 28-year old, but Arsenal's refusal to sell at any price, meant that he would have to remain at the club for the time being.
The January window is approaching, and the talks are being generated yet again, as to whether Arsenal will keep hold of their attacking star, or if they will try to cash-in before he leaves them on a free in the summer.
