10 Sought-For Players Post-FIFA World Cup In Transfer Window

10 sought-for players post-FIFA World CupIn a way, the FIFA World Cup is a global talent show of the grandest proportions where players from across the world, many of them unfamiliar to the common fan, display their skills and abilities to the footballing realm. In each edition, new stars come to light or erstwhile ordinary players suddenly become extraordinary, and what ensues is a fascinating post-World Cup scrap among clubs to sign these latest introductions, often at inflated prices. 

FootTheBall lists 10 such players whom the footballing world is either perceiving from a new lens or has recently become accustomed to. The values of these hidden gems and rare finds have skyrocketed in the last month.

Gonçalo Ramos, Portugal

If you’ll make child’s play of stepping in the shoes of Cristiano Ronaldo –  Portugal’s finest and one of the greatest finishers to ever play the game – at a World Cup knockout game by becoming the youngest player to net a hat-trick at a World Cup since 1962, your market value is obliged to hit the roof. 

The sniper was off-colour in the following game against Morocco but this hasn’t been the norm as he has scored nine goals in 11 appearances for Benfica. The Eagles’ routine of minting huge sums of money by producing world-class players looks set to continue.
