3. James Rodriguez
Fernando Vergara/AP/Press Association ImagesJames Rodriguez is the stand out star of this summer's World Cup and has been the heartbeat of the Colombian side that has shocked everybody to reach the quarter final stage in Brazil. The attacking midfielder is currently the tournament's top scorer with five goals to his name - including one that has to go down as a contender for
goal of the competition. His classy performances will no doubt make him a wanted man by the time his World Cup duties with Colombia come to a close, and the Monaco man is undoubtedly set to be besieged by lucrative offers this summer despite having only signed for the French club last year. Liverpool are
one of a series of Premier League clubs to have shown an interest in the star in recent weeks, but Monaco are insisting they will not sell their prized asset. With a transfer kitty of £80 million set to be handed to Brendan Rodgers, however, the Reds boss could make an offer that would make even the cash-flushed French club think twice about.
