⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Plaguedeath]

At the outset of this EPL season, Chelsea appears to be struggling with a less-than-productive striker. Evidently, in the match against Nottingham Forest, Chelsea generated numerous opportunities, yet none were successfully converted into goals.

The circulating rumor suggests that Chelsea is keen on acquiring Oshimen.

Is acquiring Oshimen the right move? Are there other aspects beyond the attacking line that are influencing Chelsea's current performance?

If this transfer is successful, both of Osimhen and Chelsea are stupid because Osimhen want to join a weak team while Chelsea have been sign Jackson and yet they want to spend more money. Chelsea just need to wait Nkunku is fully recovered from his injury, I believe Chelsea will able to score more goals.

Pochettino need to use the current Chelsea player as good as possible, not only want to sign new player.

These days there are indeed rumours that discuss Chelsea and Osimhen. Indeed this could be good but on the other hand this could also be bad for Chelsea itself.

The conditions remain fifty-fifty I think. Osimhen is one of the young players who has been very good in these 2 seasons for Napoli and he is likely to continue his good form this season for Napoli but when talking about the possibility of him at Chelsea this is still ambiguous.
When a player who comes from Serie A with a more relaxed playing pattern will be very difficult to adapt to the EPL which has a strong intensity and fast game. some examples such as Lukaku, Pogba and Denis Zakaria have felt this and this could also apply to Osimhen.
On the other hand, Napoli are also unlikely to let their talented players leave easily because there must be an expensive dowry to redeem Osimhen's clause from Napoli.

I think that Osimhen could also go to a top club where he is guaranteed to play in the Champions League. Chelsea has now tried so many things and they are once again screwing up the beginning of the season. These results they have had so far really suggest that they will once again muss the Champions League qualification. I think that is the competition every top player wants to play and for now it doesn't look like Chelsea could make it into the top 4. Maybe they won't even end up in the top 7 again.

Klopp was offered the manager position at Germany national team but he rejected this offer. I'm not surprised with his answer though because there isn't any reason for him to leave Liverpool right now. He wouldn't like to manage 2 teams at the same time either. I think he has done the right thing for himself.

Because Liverpool should be his main concern right now. The previous season didn't went well for Liverpool you know. They are really expected to make a serious improvement this season like a fight for the league title. He wouldn't like to increase his workload now.

I've watched Klopp's career, and he's never overcommitted. Recent Liverpool issues? They demonstrate how tough and unpredictable the Premier League is. I dont blame Klopp for rejecting the German national team opportunity. Liverpool is hard to manage, especially after last season. Germany has numerous options with Julian Nagelsmann being mentioned as a Hansi Flick replacement. Klopp's decision could benefit Liverpool and Germany in the long run. How would two jobs help him?

Juventus are lining up Arsenal's 30-year-old Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey as a replacement for 30-year-old France midfielder Paul Pogba, whose contract could be terminated if he is found to have breached anti-doping rules. (La Repubblica - Italian)
Pogba may face a potential ban of up to four years due to a positive testosterone test. According to reports, Juventus is considering terminating his contract regardless of the length of the ban.

I don't think this is possible, Arsenal is still lack of midfielder, that's why Havertz is playing in midfielder.

The only possibility Arsenal will let Partey to join Juventus if Juventus is willing to let Vlahovic join Arsenal, Arsenal is still looking for a new striker since the last season. This will not gonna be easy for Juventus, but I hope they accept this deal to make Arsenal become more stronger and we will see a new color in Arsenal.

I'm not sure if this transfer will actually go through, but I do recall reading news over a month ago about Juventus talking to Arsenal about signing Thomas Partey. I don't believe it's related to Pogba's contract at all.

Chelsea not in good shape, they're suffering and Mauricio Pochettino needs to provide good results if he wants to continue to retain position in the team. The blues have no intentions in signing Victor Osimhen, perhaps they have Christopher Nkunku who's currently ruled out of games because he's injured.Victor Osimhen is a potential striker for Napoli and I don't think the club would released the player to any elite team. Osimhen presence in Napoli is necessary because he's consistent in producing vital results for the club in crucial moments.

@decodx it seems that Pogba is really jinxed these day’s because first he was out injured and then this doping ban which of course can be over turned but if he’s yet found guilty post the appeal too then it’ll be really disappointing because he was a gifted player and watching him play was really entertaining. Furthermore Arsenal won’t sell Thomas on the cheap because they’ll know that Juventus are in a desperate situation but I don’t think that Juventus financial situation is strong hence they maybe forced to part with Vlahovic to seal this deal.

Osimhen will always be able to play in UCL once he keep stays in napoli even longer. Why does he need to go to the chelsea? Chelsea is a horrible club now and this club is bullshit. Todd boehly has been destroying it with his hand. Chelsea was not a dream team anymore.
Pochettino was not able in bringing back the best performance from chelsea. This coach keeps hire more and more young players which have no experience in playing on EPL. It will be a blunder for osimhen if he will leave napoli to join in chelsea.
Chelsea is still struggling right now and it may not able to stay at the midtable at the end of this season. It's impossible for chelsea to be a good destination for osimhen.
Napoli has also mentioned it many times if he was not for sale. Top 4 was too good to be true for chelsea. The club needs to put top 10 as its first target.

Yes, if Pochettino still fails this week, of course there will be an important meeting to discuss his future. I think he will be given a warning first if he gets negative results again and this will indirectly threaten his future at Stamford Bridge. Until now we are still confused about why it is so difficult for Chelsea to win even though on average all the players in their squad are good players. Osimhen can be a problem solver for Chelsea and maybe in terms of costs Chelsea can solve it all, but will Osimhen want to join Chelsea in the current situation?

Evidently Chelsea’s striker has just one goal to his name since the start of the season but i refuse to agree with the statement chelsea is “struggling with a less-than-productive striker”. So far Nico Jackson have had a decent performance and a good start so you should not put the blame on him for scoring just one goal, I would have agreed with you if he has had many chances and failed to score them but with chelsea’s performance you will know the entire team is underperforming which is why he doesn’t have so many services. His contributions have been decent but with the strategy being adopted by the coach it will be difficult to succeed in the premier league with just two attackers and if he doesn’t change strategy the attackers would be overworked and will find it difficult to convert chances.

Is acquiring Oshimen the right move? Are there other aspects beyond the attacking line that are influencing Chelsea's current performance?

You never know the right move until you sign the player and he performs to expectations. Signing Osimehn will boost the attacking department and having two african players upfront will be disturbing for opposing defenders but even with Osimehn in the squad if the manager doesn’t adopt a 3 men attacking formation i don’t think there will be much difference. Osimehn is a kinda of player that needs the services of a winger,  he can’t do much on his own when there is no one to feed him the ball just as Kvaraskelia did for him last season. Mudryk lost the confidence he build in the preseason because of lack of playing time and i think mudryk can be the provider for Osimehn but he’s already lost his confidence again.

Moving to chelsea will be a strong decision for Osimehn because if he doesn’t perform to expectations that would be the end of his career and also if he is able to score goals for Chelsea he would reach unimaginable heights because everyone thinks he will flop when he moves to a bigger club. So if i am Osimehn I would avoid a move to Chelsea right now because they are in bad shape.

Nicolas Jackson scored a goal in a friendly match with Chelsea but when he entered the main match he looked barren, only one goal and he got more yellow cards than he scored, and Enzo Fernandez also hasn't shown what he should show, there are no assists that he made this seasons, or is there something wrong with the strategy implemented by Pochettino?

This is just the beginning for him so i feel its too early to judge him. Some players have scored less at the start of a season and still end up with many goals at the end. Let’s give Jackson more time to settle in properly. I have been impressed with his performance though but a striker is being judged by the number of goals he scores not by his performance and work rate. If pochettino eventually changes his strategy of 3 man defense and adopt 3 man attack instead things may change for him.

The good thing about this news is that Victor Oshimen is not leaving Napoli this summer; and Chelsea cannot even afford him at the moment. The circulating rumors are simply there to excite the chelsea fans and make them hopeful in midst of an awful season. Oshimen to chelsea is a very wrong move for both parties.

I still do think that Pochettino and the Chelsea board got it wrong by flushing or selling out almost all Chelsea experience and key players, particularly the players in the midfield, Kovacic and Kante, Maybe sell only Kante, while Kovacic should not have been sold.
Looking at the most of the players in there at Chelsea and judging from their overall performance this season, they will face difficulties handling pressure when they clash with Big name teams. Pochettino needs to prove his ability to handle the job ASAP, as a lot of expectations is on him .

Was that announced by the club Chelsea, that there will be a meeting regarding Pochetino stay with the club. This should be a fake news.
Chelsea do not have the time to give a coach but he has to show working nfor the club to backup the coach.
Chelsea needs a good attacking midfielder and a quality player to net in balls for the club which I know is clearly not Nicholas Jackson.
Osimhen will not be released in the next six months so blues can plan for him in the next twelve months. A qualification for champions league is all that will lead him joining Chelsea.

This news is pure a speculation because whether it Osimhen and Napoli were under negotiation to talking about new contract besides that Chelsea has several good forward players such as Jackson or Sterling so it's not necessary to buy Osimhen especially Osimhen has expensive price approximately 120 millions and there is no guarantee if Chelsea buy Osimhen he can able to performing well just like when he was playing at Napoli

Since summer window transfer opened indeed Osimhen has linked to plenty of big clubs but this transfer wasn't happend because Napoli want high price to him however besides Chelsea new rumour has been appears too that Real Madrid are thinking possibilities to bought Osimhen and they thinking this option if Mbappe decide to extended his contract with PSG then Real Madrid most likely will bought Osimhen

Although the news didn't emanate from any reliable source it might be true. The news didn't also say that Chelsea wants to sign him this season but that he is one of the club's targets for next year's summer transfer. Chelsea can afford to buy the striker and I don't know the basis why you believe that the signing of Victor Osimhen will be a bad move for both parties.

Chelsea is a passionate need of a finisher because they have the best midfielders that can create goal-scoring chances but they lack the right number nine. Victor is the kind of striker that Chelsea needs to partner with Christopher Nkunku. The only reason why he remained in Napoli this season was because he wanted to stay. If he had put pressure on the management of Napoli that we wanted to leave many clubs would have come for him.

I don't think lack of scoring striker is a problem. I think Chelsea are making investments in areas where they don't actually have a problem. They have Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku who are really good strikers so in my opinion it is enough. They have already invested over a 100m for acquiring strikers and now another 175m for Osmihen? Why not try to get a very strong attacking midfielder that has a good vision and create some good attacking plays. Their defence is also not that strong.

I think it's a long road but if club are making unnecessary signings then I find that road even longer.

Who has said that Chelsea is willing to pay 175m for Osimhen and how does that even make sense when the transfer markets are closed?

As the news said Nkunku could be out for a total of 16 weeks and that is a big loss for them, but with all those investments that Chelsea made they should already be able to bring on a proper replacement for Nkunku. Talking about Osimhen now wouldn't help anyway as that transfer could be made in the winter only and by then Nkunku should be fully recovered and available.

I don't know, it could again be injuries and other circumstances for Chelsea, which they claim as the reason for their bad performances. But when a club as rich as Chelsea and as active on the transfer market as they have been, still can't play successfully, then there is more to that than just one injured Nkunku.

If they again make a record breaking investment in winter, I think people will mostly shake their heads.

If Chelsea really can sign Oshimen, it should be a great solution. Chelsea has no strong striker, they got difficulty in scoring goals. Osimhen is a machine goal of Napoli, he already proved that he is one of the most productive striker in the world.

However, I still doubt that Osimhen really wants to join Chelsea. There is no something interesting in Chelsea, it is not a strong team anymore. Chelsea squad looks difficult to win any title, they only struggle to return to the top 5 of EPL standings. I'm sure it is not enough for a top striker like Osimhen, he must prefer to join a club that has a high chance to win prestigious titles.

[Avirunes]

Who has said that Chelsea is willing to pay 175m for Osimhen and how does that even make sense when the transfer markets are closed?

That's what I last read about what Napoli value him at. Even if 175m is not the right figure. It's definitely will be around 100-150m between and that's a lot. Yeah transfer market is closed but if the news are true then they can go for him in next winter transfer window.

As the news said Nkunku could be out for a total of 16 weeks and that is a big loss for them, but with all those investments that Chelsea made they should already be able to bring on a proper replacement for Nkunku. Talking about Osimhen now wouldn't help anyway as that transfer could be made in the winter only and by then Nkunku should be fully recovered and available.

I am not sure but even after signing Nkunku a strong source did wrote that Chelsea were looking for another strong striker. I just can't recall if it was after Nicolas Jackson signing too. Anyway, whatever it is will get to know better near winter transfer window.

But when a club as rich as Chelsea and as active on the transfer market as they have been, still can't play successfully, then there is more to that than just one injured Nkunku.

Yeah^^, definitely. But it seems to Chelsea that making squad dense as much will help the problem. They are not just making the right decisions.

[borovichok]

Manchester City is one of the favorites to win the English Premier League this season. They won the league title three years in a row, and this season might be the fourth in a row if Pep achieves it again. Aside from being first in the standings, there is plenty of game to be played in the long term. Kyle Walker has agreed to a new contract with Manchester City that will last until June 2026. Walker turned down proposals from prestigious clubs such as Bayern Munich because he wants to build an established track record at Etihad stadium, perhapes he still face some challenges.
