Like Phil Foden, Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz is another top level young attacking midfielder. Similar to Foden, it will take a king's ransom to get Leverkusen to part with him.

Brenner is an absolute bargain. The Sao Paulo striker has a £10million buyout clause and with the right development, can go on to become a player who can get 20 goals a season.
