Alan DZAGOEV – CSKA/Russia/17/06/1990
Attacking midfielder who made his senior Russia debut aged 18 and impressed at Euro 2012. A central figure for the 2018 World Cup hosts.
Edin DZEKO – Manchester City/Bosnia/17/03/1986
A key figure in Bosnia reaching a first World Cup finals. In and out of the City team but could command a big fee in the summer.
Artyom DZYUBA – Spartak Moscow/Russia/22/08/1988
Tall target man and a regular scorer in the league. Called up last autumn after being left out of the World Cup squad.
Mohamed EL NENNY – Basel/Egypt/11/07/1992
Central midfielder who impressed in Basle’s run to the Champions League knockout stage. Already a key figure for Egypt’s national side.
ELIAS – Corinthians/Brazil/16/05/1985
All-round midfielder who is proficient at bursting beyond the strikers. Now back where he made his name after failing to sparkle in Europe.
Breel EMBOLO – Basel/Switzerland/14/02/1997
One moment a kid with Basle’s juniors, the next a Swiss league and European prodigy, Embolo has certainly been in a hurry in his scramble to the top. Turned down overtures to represent the country of his birthplace, Cameroon, in favour of his adopted homeland Switzerland.
EMERSON ‘SHEIK’ – Corinthians/Brazil/06/09/1978
Capped by Brazil at under-20 level and later played three times for Qatar, even though ineligible. Has been caught biting opponents in the past.

National captain and Africa’s leading goalkeeper who has been exceptional behind a tight Lille defence over the past two seasons.
Roman EREMENKO – CSKA/Finland/19/03/1987
Russian-born, but a Finland mainstay for many years. Brother Alexei Jnr is also a Finnish international.
Christian ERIKSEN – Tottenham/Denmark/14/02/1992
Former Ajax star who is the leading Danish player of his generation and Spurs’ most creative influence. A free-kick specialist.
