Top5 - Number 3: Jacob Mulenga (Zambia)

Mulenga is currently bagging goals in the Netherlands on the books of FC Utrecht but is rumoured to be on the verge of a switch to the Premier League. The 28-year-old is a big, physical striker who leads the line of his club and country and has certainly proved that he knows where the back of the net is. He played over 100 games for French outfit Chateauroux during his 5 year spell at the club before moving to Holland and continuing his fine form, 25 goals in 65 games in all competitions including 7 in 11 last term, and do not be surprised if he goes for the jugular in this year's competition to really push for that big-money move while he still has the chance.

In the 31 games that he has played for Zambia he has netted on 6 occasions and he will no doubt be a key impact on whether or not his country retain the trophy that they won in last year's tournament, although Mulenga was not able to play a part because of injury.

If a move to the Premier League does materialise then he will be joining his countryman Emmanuel Mayuka, who joined Southampton in August 2012 for an undisclosed fee.
