World Cup 2022 scouting report: 8 players your club should sign who are shining in Qatar

In any normal year we'd be starting to think about the January transfer window about now, but this is no normal year.

With the World Cup dominating the agenda all transfer talk is seemingly off the table for now, even though we can't help but think where certain players could end up come the end of the tournament.

Given the sheer amount of games and the compact nature of Qatar, Mirror Football's Mark Jones has been a eight matches already during this World Cup, and he's picked out players who should be on the transfer radars of several clubs, from the obvious to the unknown.

Jude Bellingham (England 6-2 Iran)

Hahaha, I know. Sorry. Stick with it though.

Were this a summer World Cup we'd all be talking about Bellingham surely being on the move after the tournament, with his display in England's convincing opening victory over Iran only adding further fuel to the fire.

There isn't a big club worth their salt who aren't tracking the Stourbridge-born Borussia Dortmund star, and deep down the Bundesliga outfit must know that the time to cash in is fast approaching, as happened with Erling Haaland.

He will surely be on the market, and during what looks like being a summer of change for both Liverpool and Manchester United, his signature is likely to be prized above all others.

Yunus Musah (USA 1-1 Wales)

Teenager Musah was superb in midfield for the USA against Wales

He's already playing for Valencia and has won 20 senior caps, so you can't really claim that this World Cup could be a breakthrough moment for the USMNT midfielder.

But he's very good.

Musah was the best player on the pitch in the first half of the clash between the US and Wales, and his side should really have gone in two or three goals at the break, something that came back to haunt them in the second period.

The New York-born midfielder was on the books at Arsenal for seven years and played for England from under-15s and under-18s.

It looks like both have left one get away.

Firas Al-Buraikan (Argentina 1-2 Saudi Arabia)

Al-Buraikan was a constant source of threat for Saudi Arabia

It was Saudi Arabia's goalscorers Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari who hogged the headlines after one of the the great World Cup shocks, but the pair are 29 and 31 respectively, and if anyone is going to sign a player from this Saudi team they are going to want someone younger.

Step forward Al-Buraikan, the 22-year-old forward from Al-Fateh, who was terrific down the right and caused so many problems for Argentina's Nicolas Tagliafico that he had to be taken off.

Al-Buraikan also provided the assist for Al-Shehri's equaliser, and he'll be vital for the Saudis going forward.

Adrien Rabiot (France 4-1 Australia)

He's a player who is used to the transfer limelight, but as he gets set to embrace it again there does seem to be something different about Adrien Rabiot.

The Juventus midfielder, who is out of contract in the summer, has so often flattered to deceive, but the way he dragged a sluggish France out of their slumber against Australia was hugely impressive.

First he headed them level after a well-timed run, and then he burst down the left and crossed for Olivier Giroud to complete the turnaround.

At 27 and entering a new phase of his career, is the penny dropping?

Josko Gvardiol (Morocco 0-0 Croatia)

Gvardiol's display was one of few higher points in a dull game

The masked man has been on the radar of some big clubs for a while, and he was one of very few good things about this goalless draw.

Playing the junior partner to experienced fellow centre-back Dejan Lovren - who still possesses that aggressive, front foot style that we saw from him at Liverpool - the 20-year-old Gvardiol was important for an ageing Croatia against a vibrant, youthful Morocco side who looked to run them all over the park.

All players leave RB Leipzig eventually, and surely he will sooner or later.

Stephen Eustaquio (Belgium 1-0 Canada)

Eustaquio seemed to enjoy tangling with Belgium's players

Canada were in no mood to die wondering against Belgium, and they absolutely went for the throats of their more established, and dare we say slightly over the hill opponents.

Midfielder Eustaquio was at the heart of that, with the 25-year0old more than happy to go toe-to-toe with his illustrious opponents in a bit to get them turned towards their own goal.

Belgium were often stretched by the runs of Alphonso Davies and Richie Laryea, and Eustaquio was frequently finding them with his passes as the unfancied underdogs troubled the more established Europeans.

Eustaquio played for Portugal at youth level, and he is back making an impression there having joined Porto in January.

Another move could be on the cards if he keeps playing like this.

Mohammed Kudus (Portugal 3-2 Ghana)

Kudus has been an impressive player for Ghana

Wait, were you expecting Cristiano Ronaldo?

He was here at Stadium 974 of course, and he was making World Cup history in the process when he became the first man to score in five different World Cups, and we all know that he is on the market now.

However, clubs might find a younger player such as Ghana's Kudus to be a more intriguing prospect.

The Ajax midfielder came close to joining Everton in the summer, and would have endeared himself to their supporters by scoring against Liverpool in the Champions League this season, and at 22 he looks to be a real prospect that a Premier League club could do a lot worse than.

Ismaila Sarr (Qatar 1-3 Senegal)

Sarr was a constant threat down the right for Senegal

We know him from Watford of course, and without wishing to disrespect the Hornets it really is a surprise that he's still here.

Sarr was known to be heavily interesting Liverpool at the time they decided to go with Diogo Jota instead, while other Premier League clubs have also consistently taken notice of him.

He was a constant threat against Qatar, staying out wide in a 4-4-2 formation, and raiding in from that side to cause havoc.

Watford won't want to lose him as they make another promotion push, but plenty of Premier League sides would surely love to have him.
