Attacking midfield
Staying: Eden Hazard, Willian, Oscar, Mohamed Salah, Andre Schurrle, Lucas Piazon.
Going: Victor Moses, Gael Kakuta, Marko Marin, Christian Atsu, Thorgan Hazard.
Coming in: Ross Barkley.
It’s a similar story in attacking midfield as the likes of Hazard, Willian and Oscar have been fantastic in 2013/14, whilst Salah is finding his feet and Schurrle is a useful asset.
Moses, Kakuta and Marin have all missed the boat, whilst Atsu and Hazard will probably have to be loaned out once more – but Piazon could well be given a chance.
The big arrival however could be Everton starlet Barkley, who has been impressing under Roberto Martinez’s guidance this campaign.
The 20-year-old would meet the English quota required by the league’s authority and could also inject more creativity in a sometimes stagnated attack.
