Premier League Transfer Targets

The Premier League slowly returns to what it used to be, the strongest soccer league in the World. Even if the European competitions are dominated by Spanish clubs, the Premier League maintains the reputation of the most balanced league, where any team can beat any other. The Premier League is expected to become the championship it was from 7 - 8 years ago when English teams were playing in the semi-finals or even in the final of the Champions League.

Chelsea seems to have no title rivals, but there are five teams that are fighting with equal chances for the remaining three places, to ensure their presence in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League.

So Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United will try to finish in the top 4 and all the teams will make their transfers strategy based on their place at the end of the season.

Chelsea are in 1st position and only a miracle can stop them from winning the Premier League. With 10 points to play with, and only 11 games left, there is only a small chance of them being caught from behind as they were the most disciplined team. Even so, Conte wants to strengthen the team and Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid, Manchester Uniteds Jesse Lingard, Steven N'Zonzi from Sevilla and Juventus Leonardo Bonucci are the stars that Chelsea will try to bring to Stamford Bridge at the end of this season.

Tottenham are surprisingly second in the standings, even if they were on top at various stages in the last couple of years. They will try to keep their stars at the end of the season as some of them have acquired the attention of bigger clubs. Tottenham are not considered big spenders but even so they have identified Everton midfielder Ross Barkley as their main target for the summer.

Manchester City are the last team on the podium. Their performances are way too far below expectations, as the fans were hoping for another title this year. The UK live football betting promotion sites were crediting City with the biggest chances at the start of the season. Willy Caballero,Pablo Zabaleta, Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy, Aleksandar Kolarov, Yaya Toure and Jesus Navas are at the end of their contracts and will probably leave the club at the end of the season. There are a number of players on City's list for next summer like Bayer Leverkusen defender Benjamin Henrichs , Leonardo Bonucci from Juventus, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal , Isco from Real Madrid and Dani Alves from juventus.

Liverpool are in 4th place, and at one point seemed the only team able to fight with Chelsea. Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mario Gotze, Joe Hart and Inaki Williams are on their shortlist but everything depends on their final position.

Another disappointing season for Arsenal as the favorites are only 5th in the standings and in danger of missing out on the top four for the first time since 1996. Mesut Ozil,Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are all keen to leave Arsenal in this summer because of the lack of trophies. WilliamHill or Unibet and other UK betting sites suggest that Wenger will not continue at Arsenal next season. Jesse Lingard from rivals Manchester United seems to be the main target with Aubameyand from Dortmund and Andrea Belotti Turin also on the shortlist.

Seen by many the main favorite for the title, Manchester United is only in 6th position. Though massive investments made in recent years, the team fails to rise to the standards from Ferguson's era. After a disappointing start to the season the team has an impressive run of won games. The board is willing to give full control to Jose Mourinho and for that they are preparing a huge transfer budget for the summer. Their primary target is Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann. Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal, Lucas Tousart form Lyon, Dries Mertens from Napoli,Victor Lindelof from Benfica, Stefan de Vrij from Lazio Roma or Tiemoue Bakayoko from Monaco are the other transfers that Mourinho will try to bring at Manchester United.
