    Liverpool Remain Active In The Transfer Market - Why The Reds Could Add Another Striker To Their Ranks

    With Luis Suarez set to miss the start of next season, Liverpool could well be looking to the future regarding their striker department.  The Uruguayan has been at the centre of yet more controversy after he bit Giorgio Chiellini in his side’s World Cup group game against Italy.  After such a huge incident, especially with this not being the first time the 27-year-old has disgraced himself, there is always the chance the Reds could look to sell him.  Although Daniel Sturridge is hot and firing and Rickie Lambert recently arrived from Southampton, the latter’s age could leave the club completely dependent on the former in a couple of years’ time.

    Manchester United Target Uruguayan Striker - Why He Will Create Problems If He Does Sign

    You would think that after the performances Robin van Persie has been churning out at the World Cup, Manchester United wouldn't be linked with many strikers. Especially as Louis van Gaal and Robin van Persie have a special relationship and the former knows what the latter needs to raise his confidence. Once his confidence has been raised and he puts his pesky injuries behind him, the Dutchman could very well fire Manchester United to Premier League glory once again.

    Explosive And Skilful: Why Arsenal MUST Move For La Liga Winger 

    Going after a top talent is never advised if you're competing with a force that far exceeds yourself. Sometimes the underdogs come out on top, but, that's only when the player has been sweet-talked by the manager. There are many players in Europe that people are chasing, some more than others, so if a club finds a player they want then they must do business quickly and efficiently.

    92% Pass Accuracy: Why Midfielder Could Be Perfect For Manchester United

    With such a remarkable strike force and a high volume of players to choose from at the back, it seems such a shame that Manchester United's midfield looks so poor this season. With Anderson making next to no impact, Marouane Fellaini not living up to his hype and Tom Cleverley, well, being Tom Cleverley, things need sprucing up a bit. Which is where this man could come in.

    3 Creative Midfielders Who Tottenham Should Be Looking To Recruit In January

    In my previous article I suggested 3 strikers that Tottenham could buy in January to help give them the firepower they need in front of goal. However, it's all very well and good buying a striker but if they don't have a supporting cast good enough to give him a consistent supply of chances, then what's the point?

    3 Ligue 1 Strikers Who Chelsea Should Look At In January

    With Samuel Eto'o scoring twice, Fernando Torres scoring one and Demba Ba failing to hit the net at all this season, it is my belief that Chelsea need a re-shuffle come January. Here are three Ligue 1 strikers that I think would benefit the Stamford Bridge outfit.

    8 Ligue 1 Players Whose Contracts Are Ending Next Summer

    In the final article on players whose contracts expire next summer, I will be taking a look at Ligue 1. The French premier division is a pool of talented, up-and-coming players that often look for a route out of France to join bigger teams in bigger leagues. However, with the arrival of billionaires to clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco, players are becoming more inclined to stay due to the fact that Ligue 1 is growing in popularity and ability. The stranglehold on the league held by Marseille and Lyon has been broken by these two clubs and now we have a four or five horse race for the title. This is one of the reasons why the league has grown in popularity, with the increasing uncertainty around who could potentially win adding more excitement. However, many players still look for a way out and a few of those could make this list:

    Why Players Should Think Twice Before Moving To Paris Saint-Germain

    In yet another story of a mediocre club being bought by billionaires, Paris St Germain has been no stranger to money in the past few years. Some of the most talented players in the world have decided to call the city of lights their home recently, even David Beckham got in on the action before retiring. But, there is just something about PSG that I just can’t wrap my head around. I feel like these superstars that decide to play there are forgotten, going to a league that isn’t quite as popular as all of the others. Yes, they qualify for the Champions League, but even there, they’re up against giants, and they can’t really compete.

    Is Olivier Giroud An Unlikely Hero At Arsenal?

    At times, Olivier Giroud may seem like the kind of centre forward to play for a Tony Pulis or Sam Allardyce side.  That statement intends no offence to the player or either manager, instead just reflecting an unavoidable point regarding the sheer physical power the striker possesses.

    Alain Traore - Capable of breathtaking goals (video)

    A player that springs to mind when I think about who can produce some world class strikes is Burkina Faso international, Alain Traore. Perhaps not as unknown as Eric Hassli but equal in terms of some of the stunning goals the two of them have produced.
