Morgan Schneiderlin (Southampton) – £20m
Chances of January transfer: 6/10
French international has shown great character this season, putting in a series of strong displays following the departure of a number of his team-mates. The 25 year old may well leave St Mary’s but given just how well the Saints are doing at this juncture, a top four shot being a genuine target, one imagines the tough tackler may be persuaded to hold off considering leaving next month.
