Forwards

Right-Wing: Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)

Ent
The Welshman could finally be on a move away from Real this summer

Real Madrid signed Gareth Bale from Spurs back in 2013 for then, a world record fee of £86 million. After impressing in his first season with the Los Blancos, the Welshman began struggling with injuries.

Bale, despite the lack of fitness, was trusted by the Real Madrid hierarchy. When fit, Bale is an absolute nightmare for the defenders.

In his limited game time, Bale has a passing accuracy of 81% where he has created 26 chances and netted seven times in the league this season.

However, Real appear to be losing patience with the 28-year-old lately. Mourinho has publicly expressed his desire to sign the Welsh forward. Reports suggest that Bale could be a makeweight in any possible deal for United goalkeeper De Gea.

The winger could finally on his way out of the Spanish capital this summer.


Centre-Forward: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Spurs would find it difficult to keep a hold of their star forward

The England international is easily the hottest property in Europe at the moment. His consistency over the years reflects in his tremendous goalscoring record.

Harry Kane would surely be on the radar of all the European heavyweights who are looking for a top quality striker.

Kane has netted 35 times in 36 appearances in all competitions. His minute-per-goal ratio is a staggering 86. He has a shooting accuracy of 56% and boasts one of the best conversion rates in Europe.

Daniel Levy would be highly reluctant to sell Kane who is currently having a joyous spell in London and scores goals as per his will. Although, anything close to £300 million can force Spurs into selling the player.

Spurs have a tough job at hand in holding the player up with the elites interested in him.


Left-Wing: Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

Ente
Eden Hazard's future with Chelsea would be up in the air, this summer

Real Madrid's interest in Eden Hazard is no secret. Los Blancos have admired the player for the past few seasons and could be up for the player's signatures this summer.

This summer could finally be the one where a lucrative move is finalised given Ronaldo's struggles at the top level in recent months.

Sure, he's flourished in terms of goals in the Champions League - but that's precisely it, and British news outlet the Express believes the La Liga giants have already sealed a move in principle for Hazard.

Hazard has 15 goals and 11 assists in his 38 appearances for the Londoners this season. His passing accuracy in the league stands at 83% for this season while he has won 74% duels.

Hazard is clearly stalling his contract negotiations with Chelsea till now. Maybe the player is eyeing a summer move to the Spanish capital.
