Serhou Guirassy, Stuttgart.

The Guinea striker’s record‑breaking start to the Bundesliga season that brought him 14 goals in his first eight league games has caught the attention of teams across Europe.

His club have made no secret about his release clause of €17.5m and may be forced to cash in on Guirassy after the 27-year-old’s representatives indicated he would be keen to leave if a Premier League side comes calling. His expected involvement at the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts on January 13, could complicate things, however.
