Top5 - Number 2: Federico Marchetti (Lazio)

Name: Frederico Marchetti

Age:  29

Former Clubs: Torino, AS Biellese 1902, AlbinoLeffe, Cagliari, Lazio

Stats: 196 appearances

Situation: Marchetti is an experienced pro who has astonishing positional sense - in my opinion, Marchetti would benefit Liverpool greatly. He has the mix of games under his belt and is still has around 10 years left in the game *touch wood*. Whether or not Lazio would be willing to let him leave is another matter, but perhaps some sort of deal with Reina going the other way could tempt them.

Top5 - Number 3: Victor Valdes (Barcelona)

Name: Victor Valdes Arribas

Age: 31

Former Clubs: Barcelona

Stats: 352 appearances

Situation: Valdes has recently revealed that he will not sign a contract extension at Barcelona and is open for a move away from Spain. Regardless of the criticism he has received over the years, whoever picks Valdes up on a free can consider themselves a lucky bunch of so-and-sos. Could Liverpool beat off competition to replace their Spanish number 1 with another?

Top5 - Number 4: Fernando Muslera (Galatasaray)

Name: Nestor Fernando Muslera Micol

Age: 26

Former Clubs: Montivideo Wanderers, Nacional (loan), Lazio, Galatasaray

Stats: 193 appearances

Situation: With over 40 appearances already for his national side Uruguaya, Muslera is one of the most efficient keepers around. It is believed that he would be available for around £15m, which is a decent price considering the over-inflated sums of money players seem to go for these days.

Top5 - Number 5: Maxsym Koval (Dynamo Kyiv)

Name: Maksym Anatoliyovych Koval

Age: 20

Former Clubs: Metalurh Zaporizhya

Stats: 52 appearances

Situation: Koval is a young, agile goalkeeper who is flourishing in the colours of Dynamo Kyiv. Despite his incredible ability to bounce around his box, Koval boasts a 6ft3 frame and commands his box with bravery and determination. Koval is the perfect project for a Premier League club to take on and mould into a world beater. Could Liverpool be that club?

Top5 - Number 1: Jurgen Damm (Estudiantes Tecos)

Name: Jurgen Damm Rascon

Age: 20

Former Clubs: Estudiantes Tecos

Stats: 15 appearances

Situation: It appears that Sir Alex is  ready to make the Mexican's trial a permanent deal. The winger holds a German passport and therefore will have no problems with a work permit and looks to be ready to sign on the dotted line before the window slams to a shut. Damm was recommended by Javier Hernandez's agent, Eduardo Hernandez.

Top5 - Number 2: Jesus Navas (Sevilla)

Name: Jesus Navas Gonzalez

Age: 27

Former Clubs: Sevilla

Stats: 23 goals in 258 appearances

Situation: Navas has established himself as one of the top wingers in the modern game. The Spaniard holds all the attributes of a typical old school winger - the fragile, miniature frame which allows maximum speed, the delicious deliveries into the box and the chamber of tricks and flicks. Despite displaying his loyalty throughout his entire career, Navas' head could well be turned if promised a place at Old Trafford.

Top5 - Number 3: Diego Capel (Sporting)

Name: Diego Angel Capel Trinidad

Age: 24

Former Clubs: Sevilla, Sporting CP

Stats: 11 goals in 158 appearances

Situation: Like Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo, Capel is learning the ropes at Sporting. The Spain international is renowned for his creativity and his mesmerising footwork, and was rumoured to be close to a switch to Tottenham a few years back, but it never materialised. Capel is said to have a €30m release clause written into his contract which may deter Sir Alex's interest, but his talent certainly match up to that price tag.

Top5 - Number 4: Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich)

Name: Arjen Robben

Age: 29

Former Clubs: Groningen, PSV, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich

Stats: 91 goals in 287 appearances

Situation: We all know that Robben is one of the most fascinating players in football today, and what he lacks in awareness he more than makes up for in other areas. With the arrival of Pep Guardiola to Bayern in the summer though, the Dutchman may feel it necessary to take his talent elsewhere. Their philosophy about how to play the game couldn't be more contrast, and the likes of Manchester United could well take advantage of that.

Top5 - Number 5: Nicolas Gaitan (Benfica)

Name: Osvaldo Nicolas Fabian Gaitan

Age: 24

Former Clubs: Boca Juniors, Benfica

Stats: 24 goals on 126 appearances

Situation: The wee winger's magnificent form that he has shown since his time at Benfica is starting to turn the heads of the major clubs in Europe. The Argentine is an agile, tricky winger who holds blistering pace and a deadly cross, and at 24-years-of-age he is only just embarking on his career.

Top10 - Number 1: Peter Odemwingie (West Brom - QPR)

Name: Osazemwindie Peter Odemwingie

Age: 31

Former Clubs: Bendel Insurance, La Louviere, Lille, Lokomotiv Moscow, West Brom

Stats: 83 goals in 273 appearances

Situation: Those of you on Twitter will have seen the Nigerian's comments on his current saga, albeit in broken English. He spoke about his unhappiness at West Brom and his burning desire to join QPR in order to work under Harry Redknapp and help them beat the drop. He pointed towards his wife and child, a move to London and his frustrations at the West Brom board as the reasons he wishes to force through a deal
