#5 Xherdan Shaqiri (Switzerland)
Admittedly, Xherdan Shaqiri is technically not a Premier League player at the moment. But with a £12 million release clause, it is guaranteed that he will leave Stoke City and return to the Premier League in this transfer window. He is too good to be playing in the Championship, especially if he has a good World Cup for Switzerland. Similar to every player on this list, Shaqiri has tremendous pace and technical ability. He will be a big threat in Russia.
Switzerland have been drawn with Brazil, Costa Rica and Serbia. There should be no problems for Shaqiri and co. to comfortably advance to the Round of 16 along with Brazil. What the Swiss can come up with after that is down to their wizardly winger.
He has caused magic before in a major tournament as he scored an unbelievable bicycle kick against Poland at Euro 2016. A good run at the World Cup for Switzerland could make Shaqiri hot property in the transfer market if he isn't yet snapped up by Premier League rivals by then.
