Tipped as Portuguese soccer's biggest talent since Cristiano Ronaldo however, it'll be hoping he will prove to be worth the money.
Eintracht Frankfurt will be hoping summer signing Joveljic, who scored 14 times for Red Star Belgrade last season, can fill the boots of Luka Jovic this season after his transfer to Real Madrid.
He scored seven times in 17 appearances last season. Lee Kang-in was the star of the U20 World Cup earlier this year, winning the tournament's best player award — the "Golden Ball" — as South Korea finished as runners up to Ukraine.

Torres is already en route to becoming a Valencia great, having been with the club since he was just six, and in the first team since he was only Some physical and mental rest over the summer should see Davies back on track next season.
Yet, having started more than 20 league games and equipped himself well in the Champions League and for the United States men's national team, Dest can look back on a successful first season. Strengths: Barcelona signed Dest for his relentless attacking mindset and high-quality passing game. Whether used as an "orthodox" right-back or as a wing-back, the year-old usually poses a significant attacking threat, although this season he's scored just two league goals plus one assist so far.
Pacey, an excellent ball carrier and with a compact physique, he's the epitome of a modern full-back. How he can improve: As witnessed in El Clasico , there's progress to be made in the defensive department of his game.
His positioning can sometimes leave him exposed to a well-executed switch ball. Strengths: Remarkably complete for his age, he is quick and able to bring the ball out of defence to pinpoint a forward pass. Additionally, he plays with a high level of concentration throughout the game, hardly ever failing to track a runner or needing to resort to a panic tackle.
Whether playing in a back two or three, he's equally capable. How he can improve: Fofana has performed to a level which almost makes it silly to point out minor shortcomings. He's pretty much the finished article already but it would be interesting to see how he copes with a step up to a major club with all due respect to Leicester as his reading of the game improves. The elegant midfielder is perhaps the No. His standing was confirmed when he was selected for the senior Netherlands team for World Cup qualifying this March where he made substitute appearances in all three international fixtures instead of joining the U21 side.
At 18, Gravenberch commands the aura of a "big club player" that belies his age. Strengths: A defensive midfielder or "No.
He's easy on the eye and moves effortlessly around the pitch despite being tall 6-foot-2 for a central midfielder. Hard to dispossess, he's excellent at twisting his way out of crowded situations. Not the most aggressive of midfielders, he comes out victorious from nearly half of his challenges. How he can improve: With his physique, technical ability and lovely strike on the ball he should be able to increase his goal-scoring tally from midfield he only has three league goals this season and perhaps break into the box even more often.
Though he's failed to repeat his goal-scoring exploits from his breakthrough season 17 goals in 49 games , Greenwood's development is still on track.
The Carrington academy product was handed his first England cap against Iceland last September and, although he didn't cover himself in glory with his off-the-pitch antics , hopefully he's learnt from that experience. Having also made the list last season, he appears ready to kick on to another level, which is why he is held in such high esteem by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Strengths: His physical attributes are backed up by a smart footballing brain. Greenwood takes up good positions in attacking areas, is eager to run in behind when drifting into central areas and, though he's had to be content playing mostly wide right, he shows the sense of opportunism and finishing skills of a central striker as shown when pinching the winner against Brighton in March.
He possesses one of the cleanest left-footed strikes in the Premier League, but is more than able with his right. He also deserves praise for keeping up his work rate even when he's not scoring. How he can improve: While there's no reason to doubt Greenwood's credentials as a future goal scorer, he did go through a game barren spell this winter and needs to impose himself more on the game when given the chance to play as a centre-forward.
At 5-foot, his aerial ability also has room for improvement. While Havertz initially failed to settle into a suitable role under Frank Lampard mainly used as a right or central midfielder , new manager Thomas Tuchel has given him confidence in a more central attacking position. Strengths: Despite the challenges in acclimatising to Chelsea, the left-footed Germany international remains a potential top player of the highest order.
Though maybe overlooked by his occasional lack of coordination, he's got excellent technical ability on the ball, is able to play quick, intelligent combination football and is good at finding space between the lines. His capacity to swerve away from his marker with quick changes of direction has not quite come to the fore in England, yet there's still plenty of time for Havertz to live up to the massive expectations not helped by his hefty transfer fee. How he can improve: Havertz knows what it takes as he's already shown a high level in the Bundesliga, in Europe and for Germany.
A proper preseason building himself up physically and mentally with Chelsea and working under Tuchel should see him better prepared for the next Premier League campaign. Following a successful loan move to Dutch club Willem II , he moved to Real Sociedad where he's growing into a fine centre-forward.
Strengths: Isak is a reasonably straightforward striker; he's quick enough to play on the shoulders of defenders and clever enough to pick the right spots for tap-ins. Curiously, despite his size 6-foot-2 , he's not particularly dominant in the air he wins around a third of his attacking duels , but he knows how to use his height to his advantage inside the penalty area as a useful target for crosses. Courtesy of a powerful right foot, he can take charge of direct free kicks too.
How he can improve: Perhaps slightly underrated because he's been around for quite some time, Isak can still improve his hold up game lay-offs, winning free kicks, making a general nuisance of himself. His defensive contribution is also relatively modest. The versatile central midfielder won over manager Jurgen Klopp towards the tail end of last season, after showing some fine development at reserve and youth level for Liverpool and England.
This campaign the academy product has gone on to feature regularly in the Premier League, while he's also started in the Champions League. Strengths: Courtesy of futsal-like close control, he's at ease in crowded spaces, always asking for the ball, wanting it back and making nice combinations and triangles.
Jones knows when to drop deep to allow defenders to come forward and kept performing at a decent level even during the club's difficult spell in the winter. How he can improve: Curtis could be more assertive and efficient in aerial or midfield duels. The defender came through the youth ranks for Chelsea and England but is now excelling at senior level for both club and country -- and has seemingly overtaken last year's No. James is slightly less assured of a starting role for Chelsea after Thomas Tuchel went with a back three, moving him into a wing-back role which doesn't suit him as well as the traditional right-back slot in a back four, but he's still a fine option.
Strengths: Physically imposing and resolute, James is among the best Premier League full-backs in terms of his defensive game, reflected by the fact he wins about two-thirds duels in the air and on the ground. Secure in possession, he rarely loses the ball under pressure or commits sloppy mistakes. He is a fine crosser with a relatively good precision rate and is astoundingly consistent for his age.
How he can improve: As much as James is more than eager to participate going forward, he could be even braver in taking on defenders or looking for the creative pass rather than the habitual option of an early cross. Initially drawn into the first-team setting to perform centre-back duties, Kamara has mainly been deployed as a defensive midfielder for Marseille over the past year. Closing in on his th Ligue 1 start for the most high-pressure club in France, which is no mean feat for a year-old, Kamara is considered as one of the fastest-maturing midfielders in Europe.
With his contract due to expire next summer, Marseille will have a battle on their hands to keep their most talented player. Strengths: Tactically astute, Kamara positions himself well to pick up second balls and makes good interceptions -- often by means of a well-timed tackle or by winning aerial challenges in midfield.
His aggression and mobility make him likely to win the ball even high up the pitch. A non-stop, dependable player, safe in possession and able to hit a precise switch ball, he hardly ever records a below-par performance and has a first-class mentality.
How he can improve: Being the disciplined player that he is, he often sticks to what he's told to do, but it would be interesting to see Kamara become even more imaginative in his attacking contribution. Kean has impressed during his loan spell at PSG. In France, however, he's found the net 12 times in the league and even got himself on the scoresheet in the demolition of Barcelona at Camp Nou in the Champions League. Now PSG face a struggle to keep him beyond the expiry of the loan deal this summer no option to sign him permanently was included in the agreement.
Strengths: While Kean's directness, pace and ability to take on defenders in one vs. He seems to run towards goal with more conviction, just as he's become sharper in the execution phase -- he no longer needs that extra half a second to shuffle his legs or ponder where to place the ball. How he can improve: He's often used wide on the right, but when fielded as a centre-forward he can be even more focused and precise in his link-up game and when playing with his back to goal.
His impact has grown since the turn of the year, helped by learning his trade alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. Kulusevski has impressed in his preferred right-wing position, as well as doing shifts as Andrea Pirlo's utility man in attack. Strengths: The Sweden international's directness, powerful running with and without the ball and sensitive left foot -- he loves a far-post curled effort -- immediately catch the eye.
He is a creative forward with a high rate of key passes, an avid dribbler in wide areas and a fine link-up player when positioned in a more central role. In addition, he's a loyal team player with an enthusiastic approach and a willingness to regain possession high up the pitch. How he can improve: He still tends to rely heavily on his favoured left foot. He could also benefit from testing the opposing goalkeeper from distance more frequently.
Meslier showed admirable maturity when he excelled after stepping in for the suspended Kiko Casilla at the end of last season's promotion race. Fast forward to this season and not only is he manager Marcelo Bielsa's undisputed No.
As is required when playing Bielsa's high defensive line, he's quick, reads the game well and typically has a high level of concentration. This season the young Frenchman is among the top five goalkeepers in the Premier League.
