⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Helena Yu]

Today football's transfer rumor, the big transfers:

1. Jakub Kiwior (Centre Back) to Arsenal.
2. Noni Madueke (Left Winger) to Chelsea.
3. Leandro Trossard (Left Winger) to Arsenal.
4. Jude Bellingham (Central Midfield) to Liverpool.
5. Jaidon Anthony (Left Winger) to Arsenal.
6. Moises Caicedo (Central Midfield) to Chelsea.
7. Yves Bissouma (Central Midfield) to Chelsea.

I'm really surprised Liverpool overtake Real Madrid to sign Jude Bellingham, well Liverpool still doesn't have good Central Midfield as a playmaker, while Real Madrid already have Modric and Camavinga.

There are reports that Arsenal are near a deal to sign 22-year-old Polish central defender Jakub Kiwior from Spezia. I think he’s the left-footed Center back Arteta was looking for. Never heard of him, but then again, Tomiyasu was an unknown at the time too. They’re spending wisely. Kiwior is a very good signing, a tall lad with great composure on the ball, very calm and a very good passer of the ball as well. Arsenal knows that they need squad depth as they enter the critical stage of the season.

I have never heard of this player either, but considering that Mikel Arteta has always liked to hunt young players for Arsenal, I have no doubts about his capacity to buy players. Jakub Kiwior is a central defender, maybe he will be a good coating for the arsenal squad in the hunt for the regular competition title or even the European league which will soon start in February. In my opinion, the player's price is still reasonable at 30 million euros according to Fabrizio Romano's report.

I'm really surprised Liverpool overtake Real Madrid to sign Jude Bellingham, well Liverpool still doesn't have good Central Midfield as a playmaker, while Real Madrid already have Modric and Camavinga.

I'm also surprised to see this data. I wonder what has been effective in changing Bellingham's mind. Because he has been willing to go to Real Madrid rather than Liverpool. Him and his father were just not agreeing on the same point though. But maybe his father managed to make some progress about convincing him for joining Liverpool.

Liverpool have been in search of a good midfielder for a long time. If they really manage to sign Bellingham their problems in the midfield should be solved quickly. Otherwise they will need more time to find another top player like him.

It looks like these rumors are completely untrue and if Mbappe goes to Liverpool wouldn't that be a career downturn? Liverpool is not a good team for Mbappe, the level of players like Mbappe should be in teams like Real Madrid and Man City. After all, PSG will not release its biggest player asset to another club for the next few years.

Yup, for now it doesn't will be easy for Liverpool to sign Mbappe. Even though what I read from the article if his parents were fans of The Reds, and gave Mbappe permission to play there, but the main factor was price. I am sure that PSG will not make the transfer process easy to reach an agreement.

Everything that will relate to Mbappe will be complicated by Paris Saint Germain, we can see when he is one step away from Real Madrid, with great confidence they can make Mbappe finally decide to stay because he will be a very special player there. Liverpool, I wouldn't say this transfer is impossible, but given the current circumstances, Mbappe's signing with Liverpool is not going to happen. Also I wouldn't say going to Liverpool would be a career downturn for them, because Liverpool are one team to consider, even if they are having bad days now.

Tottenham are trying to sign Roma midfielder Zaniolo now. Roma are said to be okay about selling him now and they can accept a loan deal on the condition that Tottenham sign him permanently after. Maybe the reason why Roma are willing to do this is that Zaniolo had a long running injury period in the past years. He has lost a lot of value in his market price as well. Roma might not be looking at him as a promising player anymore. He is 23 now and I think it is still not too late for him to shine at a team.

He is still very young but his being injury prone makes me worried. Tottenham might have to deal with the same problems as well. Football is pretty rough in the English Premier League too in the end.

Like you said Madrid has midfielders, they don't really need for some time in future but right now Liverpool urgently need a good strong midfielder and Bellingham seems like a perfect target for them. Also they have been targetting the player for some time now. Player obviously is expensive and Liverpool don't really just throw money that easily for a player. It will take some time for them too.

I have a feeling that Chelsea also might chime in as they also need some good midfielders.

[Docnaster]

Manchester United is now very close to signing Enzo Fernandez, if that should happen it means man united will be even more formidable than it is now. For long I was expecting a club like Chelsea whose biggest problem is the lack of a creative midfielder, to sign Enzo, but instead, they keep adding more attackers to the old ones while their midfield is still not okay. Even with the high number of new signings Chelsea may still not play up to expectations.

There are reports that Arsenal are near a deal to sign 22-year-old Polish central defender Jakub Kiwior from Spezia. I think he’s the left-footed Center back Arteta was looking for.

In my opinion, the player's price is still reasonable at 30 million euros according to Fabrizio Romano's report.

At this moment it’s obvious that Edu and Arteta are gunning for versatile players and from the short clips I’ve seen already about Kiwior, I’m excited about the deal. Gabriel will have a good competition now going forward and be able to rest for some games. They’re preparing for the series of competitions they’ll participate in next season and at the same time, getting players with the right age and the right mentality.

True, there is no doubt that this transfer season Arsenal has been the most prolific in terms of buying players and today simultaneously made official purchases of their newest players Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior, although these players cannot make their debut match in the near future but I am sure they will adapt quickly to other players so that the existing competition can be passed well by Arsenal.

Tottenham really admired Zaniolo since the start of last season. The Lilywhites are keen to bring the Giallorossi talent to North London. But do they still want to make that plan happen? because the current conditions and situations are very much different. Tottenham are in a bad period that they are also unlikely to extend Conte's contract as manager at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Zaniolo is a player that Conte really admires.
But apart from the relationship between Zaniolo and Conte, I agree with you that Tottenham must think again if they want to sign the AS Roma player. Zaniolo is indeed a talented young player but he is very prone to injuries and he is not the type that fits the Premier League climate.

What I think of Kiwior is that he is not gonna see much of first team action especially when Saliba and Gabriel is around. I think he is gonna see a lot of action when either of the current center defense gets injured for a long time. It's also kinda new target but I think they found a player potential to be helpful in future and which is what we need right now. Both Arteta and Edu are working together to build a squad at Arsenal for a long time and that is a mentality we need right now.

Newcastle have started to make a transfer list and there are players like Anthony Gordon, Ziyech, Loftus-Cheek and Conor Gallagher as well.

This is a quite different list I would expect from them. Of course these players are decent ones but I will be waiting for Newcastle to make bigger transfers than this in this summer. Especially if they qualify for the Champions League by finishing the league in top 4 they should be able to convince some big players to come here. They will need to build a solid squad for the Champions League in that case. Their budget is enormous and they should use it as effective as possible to be one of the strongest teams in Europe.

The idea of getting versatile players is good rather than players who are suited for just one role. A versatile player can make it difficult for an opposition team to plan for because you never really know where the players will pay during the game and the position they will shift to so putting a man marker on them may be a bad idea. Also because we are an injury prone team, the addition of versatile players who can take up different roles is a brilliant way to handle it. Trossard and Kiwior are good signings.

There is talk that we may be moving close to signing Camavinga on loan and Declan Rice.

...the Gunners are interested in signing the Frenchman on a loan deal until the end of the season with the club's owners willing to back Arteta as they aim to seal the Premier League title.

The Gunners have also reportedly prioritized a move for Declan Rice in the summer

Previously there were also rumors of McTominay and Gusto from Lyon who were reported to be on the radar list for Newcastle too, it seems like this is getting more attention because this team wants to maintain at least the top 4 of the EPL to get a Champions League ticket next season.

Well, Newcastle also have to be able to convince other players that this project will be longer by being at the top level and I don't think the management will have a shortage of their finances to buy players, it's just how many players want to join the Newcastle team?

According to l'equipe Milan Skriniar has refused to extend his contract with Inter Milan and he already agreed to join PSG.

His transfer to PSG could even happen this month for a decent amount of money but is most likely he will stay in Italy and fly to France completely for free in this summer.

Even with the high number of new signings Chelsea may still not play up to expectations.

Even more so with Manchester United, it's difficult to put any stock in transfer rumors these days. They would be even more formidable if it turns out to be true that they have signed Enzo Fernandez. Look at how successful he has been on the field with Benfica and the Argentine national team. Manchester United may use his creative midfield skills to improve their chances in a number of upcoming competitions. Let's not get our hopes up, though, until we know for sure that it's true.

On the other hand, I totally feel you on Chelsea. I think they've been focusing too much on adding attackers and not enough on solidifying their midfield. It's going to be interesting to see how they perform this season with all these new signings. Their current standing is 10th, very far from the top 4

This was a heavy blow for Inter because if we remember earlier PSG had made talks and said they would take Milan Skriniar at 60 million in previous transfers but Inter refused that and now he is leaving on a free transfer. On the other hand, this is also quite reasonable because PSG promises a salary that is 2 times bigger than what he is currently getting at Inter, so this is indeed a real failure for Inter Milan at this time.

[Jody.Drummer]

The latest news from Depay now looks like he's almost fixed on becoming an Atletico player. It's not without reason that Barcelona made the decision to release this Dutch player for only € 3 million because Depay's contract will also expire in July this year, so they immediately bought it at a low price and of course this was not wasted by Atletico because it was previously rumored that they the closest.
Some other news says that Atletico have made a proposal with a 2.5 year contract for this Dutchman.

[Minecache]

The race for signing players is all about competition and been the first team to lay big bids for players. Chelsea fall in that category, the transfer window is not about the first team to place a bid for a player rather the higher bids always get the deal done. Chelsea hijacked Félix and mudryk deal from arsenal, although the gunners succeed to bring over Leandro Trossard to emirate stadium. Gunners fans happy to have the spectacular winger in the team because he will served important purpose to the team and Arteta's plans.

In competition for a player, it's the same as fighting for a title, which club has the best offer, they will be one step ahead of the club that is also after him. They must not lose to their competitors to start, if that happens it will be the same as what happened to Arsenal.
But there are situations where the player will decide for himself which club he will go to. As experienced by Cristiano Ronaldo, yes, that was because there were parties who did not want to see Cristiano Ronaldo go to a team from the city of Manchester City at that time. So that the people closest to him and people who were very meritorious to him asked him to choose Manchester United. This is a different situation of course.

Chelsea obviously got two players that I did not expect them to get. But those two hijacks actually have still not worked out very well for Chelsea. And I do not think that Chelsea is going to improve. At least they are not showing any signs of it. Chelsea did win their last match but it was against Crystal Palace. For some reason that does not give me any indication that Chelsea is going to be confident going into their next match. The next match is going to be against Liverpool. Both of the teams are not doing well this season. It will actually be interesting to see how this match ends,

It's going to be interesting to see how they perform this season with all these new signings. Their current standing is 10th, very far from the top 4

They want to have a new vision with attack being the best course of action for defense but this has certainly never gone well for them.
Looking at some of their current transfers, they always prioritize attacker-type players and some have even played there.
But on the other hand their defense is also a bit lacking and we have to admit that. Todd should reconsider this.
