With the transfer window just a few months away and with the imminent World Cup in Brazil to showcase all the headlines in the coming summer, Premier League clubs are increasingly working their socks off to get deals done before the boarding passes to Samba land are punched. The Rumour Mill have been linking players with great gusto but a majority of names in the market are being touted as mere fiction rather than believable. So today we here at Soccersouls decided to provide our readers with three top quality defenders ready for a premier league switch in the summer.
The 27 year old has been an integral part for Sevilla who look rejuvenated this season and are in line for a Champions League berth, currently placed fifth in the La Liga standings. The Argentine is an imposing presence at the back and is very strong in the air. In 21 appearances this season, Fazio has hit the back of the net twice while grabbing a solo assist.
His technical ability attracted interest from Barcelona earlier this year, but with the Camp Nou Giants now hit by a two year ban by FIFA, Premier League clubs look increasingly interested to battle for his signature. Italian side Fiorentina are also interested in the player whose rise to prominence came in 2007 when he won the U-20 World Cup in Canada for the Albiceleste. All of Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal are showing interest in Fazio as the Andalusian club might have to sell their prized asset this summer.
The 6’2 Italian was rumoured to join Manchester united in the January Transfer window after David Moyes was present to watch the Italian during his side’s 1-4 loss to Serie A Champions Juventus. However with bids hardly materializing, the former AC Milan man has now again been linked to a summer transfer with England being the most likely of destinations. Known for his ability to place a well timed tackle, Astori also has a great leap but his greatest quality comes from the fact that the can finish well from set-pieces as well as take penalties for his side. Southampton are also linked with the Cagliari man, whose evaluation stands at €11m according to Transfermarkt.
It was The Daily Mail who broke the news that the 24-year-old Argentine is being chased by Arsenal in the summer but has also been watched by Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City scouts regularly in Portugal. Rojo’s biggest asset is his versatility as he can play either at centre-back, like he does for his club Sporting Lisbon or as left back, as in his national colours with Argentina.
He has been an integral part of Sporting’s rise to second in the Portuguese league and with Premier League clubs looking interested to land him in the summer, it will be increasingly hard to fend off interests and big money offers from affluent consortia’s if bids are indeed tabled. It is believed that Rafa Benitez is keen on landing Arsenal’s Thomas Vermaelen to Napoli in the summer, hence Arsene Wenger wants a long term replacement in the summer.
