#3 Jesse Lingard (Manchester United)
One of the Premier League's most sought-after players right now is Jesse Lingard. The Englishman had a superb spell on loan at West Ham United last season. He was expected to feature more for Manchester United this season, but that hasn't been the case.
With his pace, agility, killer instinct and knack for scoring outrageous goals, the 28-year-old is an asset on the pitch. United have struggled this season, which led to the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Norwegian did not use Lingard very frequently, despite assuring him more game time in the Premier League this season.
Newcastle United are keen on signing the English forward this January. Lingard is running out of contract at United, and has not renewed it. So the club should sell him instead of letting him go for free next summer.
#2 Ferran Torres (Manchester City)
Ferran Torres was signed by Manchester City in 2020 from Valencia. Since then, the Spaniard has been in and out of City's starting XI.
Guardiola likes to play the Spanish attacker in different positions, and that has worked out well for him. However, last season, Torres started only 15 games. He was hopeful of starting more this season, after the departure of club legend Sergio Aguero, but that hasn't happened.
With more than three years left on his contract, the former Valencia forward has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona. Given the uncertainty over his City future, Torres could look to leave the club this winter for more game time elsewhere.
#1 Timo Werner (Chelsea)
When Timo Werner signed for Chelsea in the summer of 2020, he was expected to be hit the ground running. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case.
With his clinical finishing, smart positioning and blistering pace, Werner was at his lethal best for RB Leipzig. Since moving to the Premier League, though, the German forward seems to have lost his touch, squandering easy opportunities to score.
Romelu Lukaku's return to Chelsea this summer has piled on the misery for Werner, resulting in less game time. Manchester United's new manager Ralf Rangnick has previously worked with Timo Werner, and is apparently keen on bringing him to Old Trafford.
It remains to be seen if Chelsea let the player join a direct Premier League rival, though.
