Dahoud is an energetic all-round midfield talent, combining a tireless work rate and incisive movement with a broad range of passing and tenacious ball-winning.

Dahoud is under contract until 2018 and Gladbach are adamant that he is going nowhere. Their sporting director, Max Eberl, said earlier this year: "Dahoud is not for sale. We are a hungry club and we need every good player."

2. Lucas Moura (PSG) - 4.1

Lucas is still being discussed as a possible transfer to Liverpool and his rating in the Football Whispers charts did not dip below 3.0 in June.

A new name for Liverpool on Sunday, as midfielder Pitor Zielinski makes the top three, with media reports already suggesting that the Reds have had a £11.7m bid turned down for the Poland international in recent days.
