According to 'Sky Sports', these five players have all been strongly linked with a summer switch, ranging from big names Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann to Swansea City's Alfie Mawson.

The first candidate on the list is Juventus left-back Alex Sandro. 'La Stampa' suggest the Brazilian could be on his way to Manchester United, with bookies odds placing him at 4/7, in place of out-of-favour Luke Shaw.

However, Sandro was a major part of Juventus' fourth consecutive League-Cup double, recording his career best tally of four goals and four assists, and so is 5/4 to stay with the 'Bianconeri'.

Turning their attention to the Premier League, England centre-back Alfie Mawson looks set to leave relegated Swansea this summer with a host of clubs reportedly interested. 

Tottenham are 6/4, Arsenal 7/2, West Ham 5/1, Everton and Liverpool 8/1. Considering his age of just 24 years old, it could be too soon for Mawson to take the plunge at a bigger club and so a far to mid-table West Ham or Everton looks more likely.

After being excluded from Spain's squad for the World Cup, Morata's future will be undoubtedly thrown into the air. It's been an inconsistent season at Stamford Bridge for the striker, scoring just 15 goals, the majority coming before the start of 2018.

He has been linked with moves back to former clubs Juventus (6/4) and Real Madrid (14/1) whilst Bayern Munich could be an outside bet (20/1). However, with manager Antonio Conte's future uncertain, Morata could hold off until a new boss is appointed. 

The final Premier League player who looks set for a move elsewhere is Manchester United's Anthony Martial. The forward has fallen down the pecking order under Jose Mourinho and he too missed out on selection for the World Cup with France

He's 15/8 to stay at United to fight for his place but Juventus (4/1), Chelsea (8/1) and Tottenham (10/1) have all been tipped as potential destinations.

Griezmann finishes off 'Sky Sports' list. The Atletico Madrid striker has been the subject of intense speculation about a summer move to Barcelona and as the days pass, it looks increasingly likely. 

Figures released by 'Sport' on Sunday suggest Griezmann would receive €15million per year in a five-year deal if he were to make a switch to the Camp Nou.
