⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Mame89]

Arsenal have been running around to get a striker but it seems they are not serious to spend much for the Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres and the Leipzig player Benjamin Sesko, to me it seems the Gunners are only good at getting defenders and goalkeepers because that's the only department in their squad they are always recruiting and if someone had to whisper to Arteta that Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko are defenders I believe the he would have gone all out for him. Now the Gunners have turned their attention to Hugo Ekitike as their alternative which I feel is not a sign that they are serious, but do you think the Gunners are on the right path in the transfer market, that's in getting a striker?

I think Arsenal are still not on the right track, they don't seem to have made any serious moves to improve their squad depth. Arteta needs a pure centre forward, better than Gabriel Jesus, but there's no sign of Arsenal reaching an agreement for any of the players that have been rumored. Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko, even Dusan Vlahovic are all decent strikers to target, but Arsenal have been slow to move in the transfer market. The players they've signed have been good enough, but what they need more is a number 9. Besides, I don't think Hugo Ekitike is better than Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal have always been behind other teams in the transfer market in bringing in the players they are targeting, which is why we often see who they are targeting and who they are bringing in. On the other hand, it seems that Arteta is the type who likes to play false nine. So a pure striker is not really desired, especially for just one expensive player with an exorbitant price/salary.

However, for midfielders, Arteta is very interested in recruiting many midfielders because he needs squad depth in midfield and defense, proven to be willing to spend a lot of money to buy rice. The reason is that Arsenal's number of goals was actually not bad for last season, even all players can score goals. Even Merino who was plotted to replace Havertz was actually quite good, Arteta's job is to be able to maximize the left winger because Arsenal's left winger's game is often inconsistent. That's why Arteta insisted on targeting Rodrygo compared to Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres, the point is, hopefully the players who are bought will have a significant impact on Arsenal's team development.

He is not the first non premier league proven player they've gotten for such a price. Do your research,  players they've signed from Benfica to the premier league have seen higher prices and valuation slapped on them. Gyökeres is what whatever the president is asking for but if they had agreement on him leaving for a lesser valuation, then they should do well to keep their own part of the deal and not be greedy. I still feel he's more likely to be a Manchester United player at the ending.

Yeah Nunez was the example, that guy was valued 55 Million Euros in Benfica, Liverpool willing to spent almost 80 Million Euros for him. If Gyokeresis valued 77 Million Euros, why Sporting Lisbon have to accept 70 Million Euros offer? 80 Million Euros is the minimum for him.

Nah, Manchester United wouldn't need to sign Gyokeres because they gonna sign Mbeumo. Mbeumo will be plot as a striker since in right wing position there's Amad.

Sporting Lisbon are pretty much taking a huge risk betting that there is going to be some desperate Premier League team that, sooner or later, will pay the ridiculous fee they are asking for. It's a risky move because the player clearly is not worth the amount of money they are asking for, and at this point everybody knows that Gyökeres wants to leave the team so the Portuguese club may find itself with no offers and a player that was promised he could have left to join a better team. We'll see what happens, if I were the other teams I would wait until the end and submit a very low offer.

financial strength of a club does plays a crucial role in bringing a club to the level where it could hardly go on relegation from the top league but, be that as it may for Leicester city, the coach capacity to help them survive from getting relegated was an issue because for example, a team like Nottingham Forest is almost of equal rank with Leicester in the EPL but with a better coach they were able to finish above mid position on the table.  In essence what am saying is that a good coach can help a team achieve beyond what they didn't imagine.

Any clubs survive and performance all depended on combination of coach, players and financial situation here Tottenham and Manchester United survive because they were having good coaches, but they were not able to fix problems even their sources and players were on good level.

Leicester City fail to survive because management fail to provide changes which was needed and Nottingham had good coach and players which help them things needed level and correct depth, but now it's going to be challenging for top clubs to have their best back because if they fail to do surely this could be going terrible for them. Maybe good coach can do few things but still he needs good players who can give good performance without having good skilled players survive is not possible just because of good coach.

They overpaid Zubimendi, sign Kepa, and add hristian Nørgaard, but always unable to secure a signature from a quality striker. It sounds weird, yeah, but not surprise me because this is Arsenal.
I believe they can shoot again next season if they will able to sign a quality striker.

They can replace two midfielders who left the club with two new midfielders in a short time. it will be so strange if they can't sign quality striker in a short time.
The rumors says that they are able in spending 200m in the current window. They still have 130m left to be spend, and enough to get a quality striker combined with a high tier LW.

Well, in terms of transfers, Tottenham has not been that active in signing new players. Thomas Frank and Tottenham will only start signing new players tomorrow with a budget of around £63m.

This time, Tottenham's target is also Chelsea's target, namely the attacker from Westham, Mohammed Kudus. While Kudus is also open to talk to Tottenham so this proves that he is still open to any club and there is still a possibility for clubs to compete to get him. This won't be easy for Tottenham for Chelsea is also serious on it.

The Gunners have what it takes to get any of this strikers you mentioned but I still can't understand why they always have to act serious and get nothing at the end, Jesus will soon leave the squad and there's no guarantee that he'll improve by next season so why wait for all these good strikers to be collected by other clubs before they start acting right?
Hugo Ekitike should not be in the picture at all because if you check how some of these strikers wants to play for Arsenal. If I'm to advise the board, is best to go for them and we can't be sure if Hugo Ekitike is better or will do better than Jesus, the Gunners need a quality material to help them get goals and push them to compete for any title, if I'm to choose among all the strikers you mentioned, I'd go for the Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres or Vlahovic but Osimhen no, we don't know if he might change his mind and play for Napoli since he has been included to the squad for their friendlies.

However, i can't this signing as a good transfe. It's because pedro has been so mid, and disappointed with the way Chelsea is preferring to focus on quantity instead of quality.

Joao Pedro is not a bad player, but Chelsea are not making the sort of signings i expected them to do this summer window if they want to compete for the EPL and CL next season. Delap, Pedro and Jamie Gittens are all talented young players, but they are very far from proving themselves on the big stage, and with such players you don't know what to expect.

This Chelsea team is filled with exciting young talents and it would be a joy to watch them play, but i am afraid i don't think they have the maturity or experience to win any major trophy.

Chelsea has been making big signings for the past years and they still haven’t won anything big, Chelsea is just signing players up and down without even selling anyone, Chelsea has many players who are doing well for the team but they still want to sign more players to support the team and they should deliver when the team needs them but for me, I see it as wasting of money, some players that Chelsea are signing will be among those who will leave next season if they don’t play well because Chelsea don’t give players time to perform and they will always want them to perform at a high level.

Chelsea currently has more than 7 attackers and if some players don’t have enough time to play they will decide to leave for another team, Chelsea can not sell them with the same amount they signed them, Chelsea only needs one striker but currently, they have 3 strikers and that will be a big competition for the players most especially Jackson, he will soon realize that Chelsea doesn't value him like before.

[Accardo]

The Gunners need a quality material to help them get goals and push them to compete for any title, if I'm to choose among all the strikers you mentioned, I'd go for the Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres or Vlahovic but Osimhen no, we don't know if he might change his mind and play for Napoli since he has been included to the squad for their friendlies.

Not the way you look at it, to find a quality striker is not easy and they're rare. Only few players do the real job of a number 9, and such strikers are not easy to get in recent times. However, Arsenal was never like this in the days of Henry, Van Persie, and Giround they all had other strikers surrounding them, having just one at this time is affecting the club. But Arteta seems to be waiting for a good deal. Gabriel Jesus needs help too, to reduce stress.

While Kudus is also open to talk to Tottenham so this proves that he is still open to any club and there is still a possibility for clubs to compete to get him. This won't be easy for Tottenham for Chelsea is also serious on it.

I found information that the release fee is around 65-85 million, well this makes me wonder because currently the market value is 45 million and his performance this season has not been very impressive only scored 5 goals from 32 matches so what's special? yeah as we know Tottenham is the club that is closest to signing him and Chelsea are also in the queue but honestly I don't think that's the ideal price as a release fee.

By the way, is Mohammed Kudus being prepared to replace Son? I mean Son is 32 years old and he is about to retirement maybe 2 more seasons so Tottenham have to move quickly, Son performance has also declined from season to season.

Chelsea already have four new attackers confirmed already that will be joining them, three or more are currently their registered players this additions means they have atleast seven attackers in their squad I don’t think with this their will be addition again except maybe there is few players leaving the club. So Kudus might be Tottenham player if they actually want him,

But seriously £63m for a whole transfer season is very bad for Tottenham considering their current status, they finished 16th last season and this should be a thing of big worry for them but rather they are not bothered, I think they should have increased this and be active but as usual it is always levy not supporting managers when he should be

[Coyster]

I expect Nkunku to exit Chelsea, so that leaves them with two strikers (Jackson and Delap). Big clubs should have at least two strikers, just in case there is an injury or suspension, so no problem with that. The summer transfer window is still on, so i am sure Chelsea will sell a few players before the window shuts, what i have a problem with is the quality of players they are bringing in, i don't believe that's the kind of players you sign when you are serious about winning the Premier League.

So far Arsenal has released several players. Either because his contract expired or he was released to another club such as Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos. However, regarding the players brought in, I haven't heard much about this team. Even if I check Transfermarket.co.id I haven't seen Arsenal bringing in a single player. Except for several players who returned due to the end of their previous loan period to other clubs. This season we can say that Arsenal has made very little movement in the transfer market. Different from the previous season. The name of the player we often hear about coming is Christian Norgaard who will replace the position left by Thomas Partey. But yeah it wasn't the move fans were expecting. Because Arsenal needs more preparation than that. Or maybe Arsenal are really confident with the depth of their current squad. I hope they don't quickly become complacent with the depth of their current squad.

We'll see what happens, if I were the other teams I would wait until the end and submit a very low offer.

Some players targeted by Premier League clubs are often seen as the most likely source of income for the team that owns them. Sporting Lisbon have played it cool as if saying they are not afraid of the transfer being called off, but they are also worried that the English club are slowly giving up on the player at a high price. Viktor Gyökeres is a good player - of course, but if Sporting are not willing to lower their price or ask for a higher price, then I am sure the transfer will not happen.

I agree with you so far - let's see how the transfer drama unfolds. I hear Manchester United are also interested - Milan seem to have given up, Arsenal are still ahead. It would be a shame if Gyökeres doesn't make the move during the transfer window - he'd be good for any Premier League team interested at the moment.

I am sorry to say this, Kudus type of play fits Tottenham and not Chelsea. Kudus will be more effective and efficient in the Tottenham team that Chelsea.
Chelsea has the likes of Palmer which would likely be rated over Kudus and this will dilute Kudus ability. This is unlike Tottenham which has only Son and the top man who operates from the left side of the wing. What this means is that Kudus has the right side of the wing all for himself to explore. If I were him, I would choose Tottenham because he will definitely have more playing time with Tottenham than Chelsea.
Besides, both are playing the champions league, it will be a win-win for him anywhere he goes.

Am not  too convinced about the quality of the strikers that Chelsea is bringing to the club because with the players that am seeing that Chelsea is bringing to the club I don't think that these strikers are good enough to take Chelsea to challenge for the league title come next season


Tottenham is one team that I have seen that will not do well come next season because they are not doing enough by bringing in players to strengthen the club because they will be playing in the champions League come next season plus they will like to improve on their performance of last season

When it comes to the coaches, you're right  thanks to them, those two clubs barely managed to survive. But when it comes to the quality of the players, i can’t agree, because the overall quality has never been worse. It’s truly sad that two such big clubs allowed themselves to come so close to relegation. We’ll see what happens next season, i just hope it won’t be anything like this one…

you want a quality striker with provon record for Arsenal and your saying Victor osimhen no, even though Napoli have included him in their squad for friendlies, it still won't change anything if Arsenal want to go for him, just that Arsenal would just want to bail out such amount to get a striker, maybe they should just be allowed to continue managing Gabriel Jesus. I've heard they refused to renew partey's deal, seems like the position of being a first runner up is not yet tiring for them, other teams are solidifying their squad, Arsenal is still Dilly dallying hoping to manage the same squad.

Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso, Pep Guardiola and many other names of top coaches and maybe the best in the world weren't able to guarantee having the title for another year although they had talented players and enough funds to spend.
I would say good players are essential for survival, money is important for progression, good coach is crucial for the first place and clever and cooperative management guarantee success to maintain the top place.
No good coach alone is sufficient to help staying in the league. When things go bad, it will remain unchanged and many coaches saw their team dropping in the lower league at the time they were successful with another one.

Arsenal already have options for good strikers as our age of football, both Gyokeres and Osimhen are both good strikers that can maintain the number 9 perfectly. For goal scorings both strikers are really good at it, only that the team has to pick among them who fits the tactics and positioning, Osimhen and Gyokeres have different pattern of playing their position but the end results is goal scoring abilities.

I agree that a club, in order to be successful, required a good mix of management, coach, and players, but the situation for Manchester United in mainly related to a very poor club management from the owners. The fact that they keep changing coaches and players and the results stay the same speaks volume about what is going on. These people don't understand how to manage a football club. Let's take a look at Liverpool, they changed management as well and won several titles. Why? Because they had a clear vision, they didn't improvise.
