3. Mauricio Pereyra - Free agent
Known for his long-range strikes, the 29-year-old is currently a free agent after leaving Russian side Krasnodar following last season. He's got some useful Europa League experience in the bag, too. Photo: Epsilon
4. Aaron Mooy - Huddersfield Town
The Terriers are said to want around £14m for the Australian ace, but Chris Wilder is known for his ability to drive a hard bargain, and Mooy's capture would be a real coup. Photo: George Wood
