Scouting reports on young attackers who could light up the Premier League (Video)

English sides are set to look abroad for some inspiration this summer as a lack of home-grown creative talent is leading top sides to scout Europe’s best. Here are four young attackers who could be on their way.

Christian Eriksen -

Who is he?

The young Dane has been one of Europe’s hottest properties for a few years and his stock has risen further this season, with his incredible skills and vision providing a beacon in the Ajax midfield. Blessed with an amazing dribbling ability, Eriksen has the movement and awareness to match, providing assists and goals for Ajax. The 21-year-old is already an established international and has won 34 caps for his country

Who wants him?

Barcelona are said to be long-term admirers, but Liverpool and Tottenham are also said to provide competition. Ajax are resigned to losing their star man, after Eriksen declined a new contract. The question is really where and when he will be leaving. A bid in the region of £15m should convince Ajax, who are safe in the knowledge they have the next Danish sensation, Viktor Fischer rising their ranks.

Antoine Griezmann

Who is he?

The French left-winger is very hot property in Spain and has played for Real Sociedad since 2009. Griezmann has good composure and is able to provide a killer assist, but also make a saving tackle. His ability to turn defence into attack could help the 21-year-old become a star in the Premiership.

Who wants him?

Barcelona and Real Madrid are both said to be admirers of Griezmann, and have made enquires in the past. However the Frenchman may surprisingly opt for a move to England instead, with Liverpool and Tottenham both said to be interested. Despite the interest from the bigger names, Griezmann may opt to stay in Sociedad, at least for one more season, after his winning goal secured Champions League football for the side.

Isco

Who is he?

The star of Malaga’s Champions League run, Isco boasts great skills, movements and finishing ability and recently won a call-up to the Spanish national side. With Malaga’s finances running dry the 21-year-old is certain to join new employers, but a 35m Euro release clause will eliminate everyone except for Real Madrid and Manchester City in the race for Isco’s signature.

Who wants him?

With current Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini taking over at Eastlands and Manchester City needing an attacker with the likely sale of Samir Nasri, Isco looks destined to be playing for the blues next season. City fans should take note.

Son Heung-Min

Who is he?

The Korean attacker has been a revelation for Hamburg this season after the departure of Milan Petric and is now attracting attention from the Premiership’s top sides. Son is quick, nimble and has good aerial ability as well as a lethal shot.

Who wants him?

The 20-year-olds agent has spoken of weekly contact with big name sides in England. Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal are all names linked to Son, but Hamburg remain confident of extending his contract until 2016.
