International tournaments are a cheap and easy way to scout new players. They might not always turn out as you thought they would (Poborsky to United after Euro ’96 springs to mind) but it is, nonetheless, an opportunity for players to make an entrance on to the world stage, or just remind us that they still have something to offer. With the transfer window just a week away there’s no better place to be in the quest for the solution to your club’s ailments. So, here are a few players attracting suitors amongst the Premier League’s elite.
Alan Dazagoev – Russia and CSKA Moscow
Dzagoev, now 22, has been a regular for the Russian national side since his debut as an 18 year old yet his performances last season for CSKA have seen him emerge as the long-term successor to Arshavin’s role as the central force of the Russian national side.
His performance in the opening game against the Czech Republic was particularly impressive as he helped himself to a brace. Dzagoev likes to play behind the striker but has also been deployed on the wing by Russia. Despite Russia being knocked out in the group stages Dzagoev left the tournament averaging a goal per game.
His eye for a pass is as good as his eye for a goal and he would be a valuable asset for a number of Premier League clubs. Tottenham could use him as an alternative to van der Vaart playing in the hole as he offers slightly more pace and agility. Alternatively he could be a useful purchase for Arsenal looking to replace Arshavin or even as an extra creative force up front for Liverpool as they look to reduce the burden currently placed on Luis Suarez.
Mathieu Debuchy – France and Lille
Deputising for the injured Bacary Sagna, Debuchy has wasted no time in raising his profile with a number of impressive performances. Defensively solid, Debuchy’s real talents lie in his attacking flair. In particular his performance against England was hugely impressive and he succeeded in giving Ashley Cole the kind of nervy game that few wingers can do, let alone opposing full backs
Perhaps one of the most surprising aspects of Abramovich’s time at Chelsea is that they have never really settled on a consistent right back. Newcastle may be the first club to have announced their interest yet with only Ivanovic as a reliable option in that position Chelsea could do a lot worse than the 26 year old, especially considering that he has a reported release clause of under £7m.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Sweden and AC Milan
What can you say about Zlatan that hasn’t already been said? Enigmatic – yes, petulant – sometimes, entertaining – always. The big man might be the wrong side of thirty but at the Euros he has proved he still has what it takes to push any defence to the limit. Even at a tournament when he wasn’t firing on all cylinders he still played well and scored two goals, one of which was a definite contender for goal of the tournament.
The myth that Ibrahimovic is ineffective against English sides is as boring and overused as it is false. In his most recent meeting with an English side in the Champions League he inspired AC Milan to a 4-0 drubbing of Arsenal at the San Siro and two years before that he scored to brilliant goals in London. Against England too he played an instrumental role in what was a close fought game between Sweden and us.
Ibrahimovic is perfectly built for the Premier League, and as demonstrated when he embarrassed John Terry in the recent Group D game, he still has a few years left at his current level. With Berbatov looking less and less effective at Man Utd the giant Swede could be the perfect signing to bring some flair and variety in to United’s attack.
Mats Hummels – Germany and Dortmund
In the build up to the European Championships I spent time watching Germany’s warm up games. Despite looking impressive you’d have had to say that if they had one weakness it was Per Mertesacker. The giant Arsenal centre back may be a decent player but he is vulnerable to pace and is poor in possession. The same cannot be said for Hummels who has been a revelation for the would-be kings of Europe.
Hummels has displayed his class in almost every area on the pitch. Strong in the air, an excellent tackler and assured in possession he has brought a stability to the German central defence that always seemed slightly wobbly with Mertesacker at the back.
With Arsenal’s defence still weak and Man Utd considering the prospect of an ever aging partnership of Ferdinand and Vidic, Hummels could be in high demand amongst the premier league’s top clubs.
Daniele De Rossi – Italy and Roma
De Rossi may have just spent the last year contemplating a new contract in the Italian capital, which he signed, but he hasn’t given up hope of one day playing in England. De Rossi has had a magnificent tournament so far excelling in both central midfield and as a makeshift centre half where, despite his size, he comfortably held his own against Spain in the opening group game.
De Rossi has the rare gift of being a defensive midfielder whose distribution is as astute as his defending. With the tackling of Mascherano and passing akin to that of Pirlo’s, although perhaps not quite as good as either individually, De Rossi is the midfielder Gareth Barry wishes he was. And, with De Rossi’s desperately unsubtle hints about England directed in Man City’s direction on’t be surprised to hear more of Daniele in the near future.
