    Top5 - Number 1: Borja Valero (Fiorentina)

    Who: West Brom fans will remember Valero with nothing but fondness after his short spell at the Hawthorns. He grew up playing for the Real Madrid academy before moving to Mallorca in search of first team football, but after just one season the Baggies snapped him up for a fee of around £5m. However, when they were relegated to the Championship Valero made his move back to Mallorca before signing a long term deal at Villarreal. He would soon jump ship to Fiorentina because of the relegation with the Yellows and he has found his form again after a hectic career.

    Where: Both Wigan and Swansea are said to be looking at the Spaniard to add some creativity into their midfield, but it currently looks unlikely that the 28-year-old is ready to leave after finally finding his feet.

    Why: Whenever Valero picks up the ball there is that typical Spanish vibe beaming from him. His ability to pass a ball is incredible, and the composure whilst in possession shows his abundance of experience at the top level of football. Valero is the type of player that every side need, and wherever he finishes his career, the chosen side will have a very able player gluing their team together.
