Champions League XI of last-16 stars who could be Premier League players next season like Martinez and De Ligt
WITH the Champions League knockouts well underway, eye-catching performances in Europe are sure to pique the interest of Premier League clubs.
Plenty of big names linked with a move to the Prem are still battling it out for Europe's top prize, and perhaps a big move to go with it.
Reports suggest Inter Milan are prepared to sell Lautaro Martinez in the summer, with Arsenal said to be on red alert.
The Gunners were linked with a move for the 24-year-old last year and were prepared to offer him a £275,000-a-week deal.
Ultimately a transfer failed to materialise, but after missing out on Dusan Vlahovic last month Mikel Arteta could reignite his interest.
Lille forward Jonathan David is another who could be on his way to the Prem in the summer.
Again Arsenal have been linked, with moneybags Newcastle reportedly prepared to battle the Gunners for his signature.
The Magpies are also said to have 'contacted' PSG about the prospect of signing goalkeeper Keylar Navas, and their efforts to bring Sven Botman to the club in January were well documented.

Eden Hazard could finally end his Real Madrid hell with a return to the Premier League as Spanish reports claim he could be sold the summer.
Juventus duo Matthijs de Ligt and Paulo Dybala may make the switch from Serie A, with Chelsea set to go 'all out' to sign De Ligt in the summer.
Meanwhile Dybala is out of contract at the end of the season and set to spark a free transfer war.
Elsewhere the Ajax trio of Antony, Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui have all been touted as Prem stars in the making.
Manchester United are claimed to have recently stepped up their interest in Antony, while 19-year-old sensation Gravenberch has attracted interest from a number of clubs at the top of the table.

Mazraoui meanwhile is expected to leave Ajax in the summer and has previously been linked with a move to Arsenal.
Finally Lille midfielder Renato Sanches could once again try his luck in the English top-flight next campaign.
Sanches had a torrid loan spell with Swansea in 2017/18 but is ready to cross the Channel after confirming Arsenal were interested in signing him.
