4. Antoine Griezmann

I know, I never thought I’d rank him so low either. But there’s two reasons why. First of all, he’s probably the least likely on this list to move. While there is always going to be chatter about how he said he could love to come to the Premier League, he still has a really good thing going at Atletico Madrid.

Second of all, all of the voices won’t shut up about a potential move to Manchester United, which would just be the worst thing ever.

But in terms of fit, I’m beginning to raise some questions as well. Especially if we are thinking in terms of replacing Alexis. Griezmann, like Benzema, is a bonafide scorer who knows how to do one thing incredibly well – shoot the ball.

He’s a proven finisher and there are few better.

But in terms of the other guys on this list, I’m not convinced their isn’t a better option. Of course, I might just be trying to soften the blow when Griezmann ends up at United with his favorite No. 7 shirt like Beckham wore.

On to No. 3, who just won’t go away.
