The summer of 2023 could well see the window remembered as the Great Midfield Scramble.
A number of Premier League teams are looking to bolster the centre of the pack and next season could see an exciting influx of attacking and defending midfield talent.
One name coming up with increasing frequency? Youssouf Fofana, Monaco's bedrock in the midfield who has scarcely missed a match for the side since his arrival in January 2020 and helped spur them on to consistent top-four finishes.
Fofana's talent has been largely allowed to go under the rader due to the high-profile nature of his midfield partner in the Principality, Aurelien Tchouameni, who became Real Madrid's £70million-man with a move to Madrid last summer.
