Top five: Europe's perfect January signings

5. Barcelona - Mats Hummels

With Carles Puyol in the twilight of his career, he'll need replacing and Mats Hummels has been linked with the role.

A €35m bid has been touted but nothing has been agreed.

With Bayern Munich throwing the gauntlet down last year in the Champions League, Barcelona need to strengthen to challenge in Europe's premier competition.

Hummels is the perfect place to start.


4. Arsenal - Diego Costa

Arsenal are still looking for a replacement for Robin van Persie who famously left for Manchester United in the summer of 2012.

Olivier Giroud is doing a fine job but he can't play every game for the Gunners and Nicklas Bendtner is in no shape to lead the line.

Arsenal have been linked with a mega money move for Costa and South American star will plug a gaping hole in Arsene Wenger's side.


3. Manchester City - Eliaquim Mangala

With Vincent Kompany again struggling for fitness, Javi Garcia has been asked to fill in at the back, but he is no replacement for the City skipper.

A commanding centre-back is required to fill in the gap when Kompany is absent and Eliaquim Mangala can be that man.

With a £42m release clause, the young Frenchman is unlikely to come cheap but the 22-year-old would represent a long term investment and may even succeed Kompany as captain in the future.

If City want their title charge to succeed, they need a defender.


2.Chelsea - Robert Lewandowski

the Bundesliga outfit are reportedly willing to accept a £7m fee from a Premier League club in January in order to make sure he doesn't sign for rivals Bayern Munich.

With three faltering strikers in Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and Samuel Eto'o, Jose Mourinho needs to sign a top class forward to compliment a top-class midfield.

Lewandowski will take some convincing to join Chelsea, but if any one can The Special One can.

The Polish international would represent a significant swoop and may give Chelsea the edge in the title race.


1. Manchester United - Marco Reus

Manchester United are crying out for a young, creative midfielder and David Moyes desperately needs a marquee signing to prove he can cut it at Old Trafford.

Not only would Reus prove to be an excellent acquisition, it would take the pressure of Moyes and Ed Woodward, who suffered several set-backs in a poorly executed summer transfer window.
