Posted Saturday, June 20, 2015 by Givemesport.com

5. MEMPHIS DEPAY

Kick starting this list is the 21 year old Dutchman, Memphis Depay. This young wonder kid has been the heartbeat for the Eredivisie club PSV for a few years now, and it was only a matter of time before a big club splashed the cash on the young winger.

With Manchester United making their first summer signing, Depay joins compatriot Louis Van Gaal for around £30 million and will look to make a big impact next season. With his prolific right foot and incredible ball control, we could see the young talent bang in a few as well as assisting his new striking partners at the Manchester club.

4. RAPHAEL VARANE

Having shown off his fantastic defending talents at one of the best teams in the world, Real Madrid centre back Raphael Varane could be on his way to another club with his future uncertain at the Spanish giants.

At just 21 years old he's made over 60 appearances for his club in four years, which is astonishing considering he has the likes of Sergio Ramos and Pepe to compete with. With interest shown from Premier League clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester City, his name will be one often linked with a transfer this summer.

3. HARRY KANE

Having been Tottenham Hotspur since 2009, Harry Kane has been loaned out season after season, however after showing he can score when needed to under ex-manager Tim Sherwood, it was Mauricio Pochettino who decided to make him a regular at the beginning of the 2014/15 season.

Astonishingly, the Spurs striker finished the season with 31 goals in 51 appearances, an incredible feat for a first campaign as a regular. Now he is being linked with other clubs, with Manchester United the most notable of them all.

With the Spurs fans convinced he'd never leave them, it will be quite a tale if he leaves for a bigger club after a single campaign, especially for that sums mentioned. It could be another Gareth Bale story all over again, but Spurs fans will be hoping they spend the money more wisely this time if he leaves.

2. ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE

Just making it onto this 'young player list' is 24 year old Lyon striker, Alexandre Lacazette. After two seasons of incredible football from the Frenchman, the big spending clubs are lining up bids for the young striker.

With 31 goals in 38 appearances last season, he will be sure to be on his way to a bigger and better league this summer transfer window. Known for his explosive pace and incredible eye for goal, Lacazette will be hungry for to score at whatever club he goes to.

With interest shown from Arsenal and PSG, it will be a huge battle to sign this astonishing player, and he definitely won't come cheap either.

1. PAUL POGBA

Topping our list is another Frenchman who is considered one of the best midfielders in the world at just 22. Considered Alex Ferguson's biggest mistake, the Frenchman left Old Trafford after the Manchester United manager gave up on him.

Just three years later, Pogba has got an £80 million price tag on his head and could be on his way to another club this summer. The Juventus man is a real all-rounder, never shies away from goal either, and has been known to score incredulous goals from long range.

Wanted by Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and just about any other team in the world, Pogba has a big choice to make in his potential move away from the club that brought him to this level in his career.

Seeing where he goes will be the biggest transfer story this summer we're sure.
