Top 5: Stars who could be Premier League-bound

Nelson Semedo

Benfica full-back Nelson Semedo is a reported £35m target for Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United. The youngster has spent his entire professional career at the Estadio da Luz and has made 42 senior appearances for the club to date.

Semedo would definitely be a great option for bolstering the Red Devils’ defence, having already scored and assisted on six occasions this season, only missing nine minutes of competitive football in both the Primeira Liga and the Champions League.

The right-back has established himself as one of the best young full-backs in Europe and is hotly tipped to become ‘the next Dani Alves’ with Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona also said to be interested in the 23-year-old.

It is looking likely however that he will link up with fellow countryman Mourinho at Old Trafford.

Should he secure this switch to Manchester, we may not see him in the Premier League until next season as he could remain at Benfica on loan as part of the deal.
