Five World Cup stars who could move to the Premier League

#5 Aleksandr Golovin (Russia)

Aleksandr Golovin

There were rumours linking Golovin with a move away from CSKA Moscow before the tournament began, and the impressive performance he put in for the hosts has only seen those rumours intensify. After Alan Dazgoev picked up an early injury that saw him miss most of the tournament, Golovin became the most important player in that Russian team, and played a massive role in helping the hosts to the quarter finals.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Juventus have all been credited with having an interest in the Russia midfielder, but it is Monaco who have made the first move. That seems unlikely to be the end of the story though, as Golovin has a release clause of just £27 million, so wouldn’t be too expensive compared to other players of his quality. Don’t be surprised if this saga runs for another couple of weeks.
