Anthony Elanga

The former Manchester United youngster has been crucial for Nottingham Forest in 2023/24. So far he's scored five and assisted eight as his club aim to survive another Premier League season. Should they get relegated though, Elanga could be the first name on the transfer list of all three new top-flight sides.

Matias Soule

Soule is arguably the most unknown player on this list. At 21 and on loan from Juventus, Soule has scored 10 and provided three goals this season for Serie A side Frosinone. As a dynamic right-winger, Soule looks to be a strong addition to a growing Juventus squad for 2024/25.

‼️ “To date not even the entourage of Matias #Soule know for certain where his future lies. If a €40m offer for the Argentine were to arrive, #Juventus would consider his sale. The same rumors bounced around in Argentina are felt here”

Savio

The Brazilian forward seems to be heading to Manchester City this summer. But for now at Girona, Savio has been a star. He's scored eight and assisted eight as Girona shocked the world with a Spanish title charge this campaign. Although Real Madrid are now dominating first place, Savio was a huge part of Girona's early success.

Sávio is having a sensational season for Girona FC and is expected to join Manchester City for their 2025 pre-season tour.
