Transfer talk is in full swing with the window a fortnight away from officially opening. Here are 10 stars who are expected to continue dominating the gossip columns all summer...
Marouane Fellaini
Club: Everton - Who wants him? Chelsea - Price: £20-25 million
Chelsea have been linked with the box-to-box midfielder, with a view to making him a lynchpin of their side. A big bid could make Everton consider their options, and Fellaini has said he'd be happy either way. Could work out being a winner for both clubs.
Clint Dempsey
Club: Fulham - Who wants him? Liverpool, Arsenal - Price £10 million
American international Dempsey has just one year left on his Fulham contract, and has stated he wants to test himself with Champions League football. He scored more than 20 goals last season and knows the leagues defences inside out. Could be a steal for a top side.
Moussa Dembele
Club: Fulham - Who wants him? Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United - Price £10 million
Belgian international Dembele has re-invented himself over the last year, converting from an attacker to a midfielder, earning rave reviews. He also has just one year left on his contract and Fulham may decide to cash in if a big bid arrives. He has regularly been linked with a move but no bids have come in so far.
Victor Moses
Club: Wigan Athletic - Who wants him? Chelsea, Liverpool, QPR - Price £8-10 million
Moses is Wigan's prize asset and his agent says he wants a move. Chelsea are surprise bidders, having an offer of £4 million turned down and criticised by Dave Whelan. Whether they go back in with a renewed offer remains to be seen, but it is unlikely the winger will be with the Latics next season.
Luka Modric
Club: Tottenham Hotspur - Who wants him? Manchester United, Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid - Price £25-30 million
Tottenham don't want to lose their star midfielder, but know keeping him will be tough after failing to qualify for the Champions League. It makes more sense for Spurs to sell him abroad, and Croatia boss Slaven Bilic says he expects him to move to Real Madrid.
Demba Ba
Club: Newcastle United - Who wants him? Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Galatasaray - Price £7 million
Clubs interested in Demba Ba are reported to have until the end of July to make their move, that's when his bargain release clause runs out. Spurs need strikers and Chelsea have been linked too, but it is Turkish side Galatasaray who have emerged as front runners over the past week.
Adam Johnson
Club: Manchester City - Who wants him? Sunderland, Liverpool, Everton - Price £10-15 million
City don't need to sell, but Johnson really needs a move. With a title winners medal in the bag, Johnson should think about his career, time spent on the bench saw him overlooked for Roy Hodgson's England squad. Talk of a move back to the North East with Sunderland refuses to go away and he is one to watch this summer.
Robin van Persie
Club: Arsenal - Who wants him? Manchester City, Juventus, Real Madrid - Price £20-25 million
Van Persie's future is the real story of the summer, and now he is back from Euro 2012 with Holland he needs to sort it out. A move abroad seems most likely, but City's interest is reported in the tabloids daily. The Arsenal captain's big decision is looker more important by the day.
David Silva
Club: Manchester City - Who wants him? Real Madrid - Price £30 million
Last Autumn talk of Silva leaving City was unheard of, but reports from Spain have stated that he is Real Madrid's number one target. The second half of the campaign was trickier for him, but now he is impressing at Euro 2012. Madrid want Silva to submit a transfer request, and that may just be the only way to force through a move.
Daniel Sturridge
Club: Chelsea - Who wants him? Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City - Price £10-15 million.
Sturridge is clearly not happy at Chelsea, and was left out of the club's important games at the end of last season. With Di Matteo earning a second attempt in the hotseat, Sturridge's impatience has seen him linked daily with moves to various clubs, possibly via his agent, including a potential return to City.
Which of these 10 will make their moves? Who else should be on the list?
