⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Justbillywitt]

Undoubtedly, Arsenal are one of the strongest English Premier League clubs in England and I've been very consistent with their impressive performance since the start of the season. Almost all the big players that is based in Europe at the moment would definitely want to play for Arsenal especially in their striking role.
However, I don't think a player like Victor Osimhen would want to sign for them anytime soon. Surprisingly Victor Osimhen recently extended his contract with Napoli which will keep him at the club till the summer of 2026 and that's why I think it's almost impossible for him to leave the club during the winter transfer window that'll be opened in less than five days time.

Arsenal can still sign strikers from other big European clubs because they have all it takes to lure star players to the club but definitely not Victor Osimhen who is keen to make more history with his Napoli team

Arsenal has a very solid supporting cast so that the attackers, when competing on the field, get good passes from the defenders. I believe teamwork is highly valued at Arsenal. It's a shame that Victor Osimhen prefers to be in a comfort zone rather than have a career outside. and start again from the beginning, but Victor Osimhen should take advantage of trying other teams as long as he is still young, so there is still hope of having the experience of traveling with several great teams, so that when he has experience, at an old age, he can decide which one is better to fully support.

There is nothing like a shame in Victor Osimhen staying in Napoli and playing his game. Napoli is a big team and he is valued at the club and he is having a play time at the club. Osimhen didn't start his football career at Napoli so he has experienced different clubs and he still young and has many years ahead of him. He shouldn't move when he thinks it's not the right time for him to do so.

Osimhen has signed a new contract with Napoli so he will remain at Napoli in the coming season. I think it was a good decision for him to stay with Napoli because he has gained full trust from the fans and also in his new contract he has received a salary increase so he no longer thinks about leaving. Arsenal could look for another player if they fail to persuade Osimhen to accept their offer.

So far Arsenal have been linked with several good strikers who they will focus on in the January transfer window. I think Arteta will not be too reckless in buying players, of course he will see the character of players who can really contribute greatly to the team progress this season. I think that so far Arsenal doesn't have a striker who is truly hungry for goals.

For January transfer likely Victor Osimhen keep stay with Napoli and potential he will leave on next season transfer window opening, Arsenal could be good team for him because have good achievement in Premier League and Champion League.
Arsenal still not get center forward right now with Gabriel Jesus not real striker and he can play well as left or right winger position when playing with Manchester City.
Arsenal will be more competitive on next season if success sign Victor Osimhen and get potential for winning domestic league tittle next season but not easily how to reach agreement deal with Napoli want to sell his player with most expensive values. Just waiting with official offer from Arsenal how much their bod offer for signing Victor Osimhen and looking the other teams interested with him will give higher offer than Arsenal?

His performance went down in this season, they're struggle in any league/cup, I guess this could be a good time for Napoli to sell both Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia because they have a value. Napoli is just an average team, so it's not surprising if many players join Napoli as a stepping stone.

If they can't perform in their new teams or already old, usually they will back to their old teams.

Before Victor Osimhen recently extended his contract with Napoli, he was still under contract with the Italian champions till the summer of 2025 and that's I think his decision to extend his contract with Napoli was borne out of the club's interest to make sure he doesn't leave the club anytime soon. If they had any plan of selling Victor Osimhen to other European clubs, they wouldn't have extended his contract.

Though I  was surprising that Osimhen decided to remain at the club after having few internal issues with the club recently, I think it's also good to note that the Nigeria international is very happy to remain at the club. Signing a new contract though doesn't stop Osimhen from leaving the club anytime soon, but I think the club has resolved with the player to have more time with them before he can leave

[Velvet78]

Arteta is keen on strengthening Arsenal squad even more by some transfers in January transfer window.    I really like his mentality. He is very competitive and hungry for achievements. By saying achievements I mean titles of course. Because the titles he has won so far are FA Cup and English Super Cup ones.

He must be targeting to get bigger titles as soon as possible. They actually deserve to achieve a Premier League title in his management. They just need to be more consistent in critical time periods. They are a title competitor this season as well just like the previous one. If they don't mess up on final weeks again then they could really go for it maybe.

Even though if osimhen will be put for sell by napoli and can arsenal afford to buy him which is valuat around 150 millions? don't talk about the market value caused by this is a very non accurate price. The price would be coming from the club directly which is owning his contract.
It's very useless to talk about the market value caused by that value only determined by the speculators of football. The club is owning the right to determine which price that was worth for their players. In fact, osimhen has ever priced 400 million by napoli's president.
We can talk what bla bla bla arsenal to help the player to development himself but what about the money that has spent by arsenal? Has kroenke got return from his investment on the club?

This is the main problem that is still facing by arsenal. Arsenal was not interesting to buy him due to the non sense price owned by him this time. No doubt that if people are starting to talk non sense about that.
Osimhen will not go to the other club. It's all remain speculation only. Im not even trusting it right now. Osimhen has choose what's best for the future of his career. This is the fact.
Osimhen will not leave from napoli till his contract is going to be expired soon. Im not even expecting it to happen but other club can buy his release clause.

[QueenVera]

.
I agree that Osimhen should go to a bigger club if he want to develop and achieve more. Napoli is not a club that would put big investment into the team to stay competing at high level. Also The club management is not the best at making strategic decisions for the team's success, like sacking the coach who guided them to Scudetto. This is not a right club for an ambitious player or a player who wants to develop his career.

Napoli is not traditionally considered among the elite in European football and potentially will not keep playing in Champions League. Consistency in a player's environment can contribute to long-term development and rapport with teammates and coaching staff, this is not established in Napoli. Osimhen's decision to extend his contarct could be influenced by a racism issue on Napoli's tiktok. The new contract could be an apology from the club to him. Arsenal could be a good option for him, Arsenal is in the need for a top striker. They are now having a great project, and Osimhen suits them perfectly.

Regardless of the loopholes Osimhen faced for a few weeks with Napoli, he still found so much belief in them and he'sore or less the fans' favorite too. So the news of his contract extension was definitely soothing to the team and fans too. Now it's certain that they'd keep seeing and benefiting from his unique style of football. He's being a key man at the Italian side and it was although very much unlikely for them to let him slip off their arm. He's just got more impacts to make.

 Napoli themselves have seen the quality of player he is and they really don't want to let him go. They've just offered him an increased contract with them for him to have a reconsideration on the team. It's his decision no doubt, but maybe he's just got to get experiences in a different club environment. Even though, he still has an achievement to deliver onto the team too. Maybe or maybe not he'd consider their offer.

[asriloni]

It's not surprising me to see that how bellingham and kane have become the best recruitment of the 23-24 season. The interesting fact is if there are so many players recruited for free or loan were also sitting as the top recruitment for this season.
It proves that if money was not everything since the club can play good once it was also getting a good club too. The player like isco is still showing amazing performance in real betis. Savinho from girona is also showing very consistent performance at this moment.

Building the football club it's not all about money. Yet you can get experienced player with the money but no guarantee if your players are going to be good players for the club. This is also the main reason why some clubs were recruiting the free agent players.
I think that some rich club needs to change their mind to the how to recruit a great coach that can change the club with minimum budget given to them. Enough is enough seeing the club like manchester united and chelsea being scammed even more.
I prefer to see united and chelsea recruit good coaches. This will also give significant impact like leverkusen or girona which were able going up without the support from the big money owned by the club's owner.

Osimhen didn't start his football career at Napoli so he has experienced different clubs and he still young and has many years ahead of him.

Yes, there is nothing to be shameful about Osimhen's decision to choose to stay at Napoli because after all at this club his name can shine and become one of the strikers targeted by many elite clubs and if he stays of course it will be with consideration or also because of the advice of his agent because we know currently agents have quite an important role in a footballer's career, but Osimhen's decision will most likely change if Napoli continues to be a team that experiences many obstacles so that it starts to have difficulty winning.
My prediction is that if Napoli fail to reach the top four this season so that they will no longer compete in the Champions League, it will be an opportunity for Osimhen to leave this club, especially since it is reported that his relationship with the club is not what it used to be after the video incident that mocked him.

Napoli giving him the desirable respect as the club's top scorer in matches is a big appreciation for the Nigerian. There's a long way for Osimhen to go again in football.  Victor Osimhen should relaxed and thoroughly think of an EPL club to move to, after all it has always been his dream to play in one of these elite EPL club jersey. Victor Osimhen is very careful not to make the wrong decision of moving to a club that doesn't have the potentials and strength to explore him to fame as a top striker. Napoli having him seems like a privilege and also Osimhen planning on upgrading his level.

A player might have a personal love for a club and money will no longer matter in his decision to extend his contract. I believe that Victor Osimhen has a love for the club, so he extended his contract because Napoli gave him the platform to gain fame. Today he is one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe and many elite clubs now want him. I am humbled by his selflessness towards his club Napoli. I am saying this because he would have moved out of Napoli in the next transfer market making them not gain much financial return from his transfer since his contract would have expired in 2025. But with this extension to 2026 and a release clause between €120m and €130m, the Italian club will make some money if he finally decides to leave the club.

The contract also favoured the Nigerian international because his salary and bonuses were increased more than double to about £8.7m a season making him the highest-paid player in Seria A, ahead of Romelu Lukaku.

Chelsea has signed another young player and this time it is the turn of the Senegalese U17 player, Pape Daouda Diong, who will go to Stamford Bridge. He is a midfielder and it seems Chelsea are not quite satisfied with the options they have at the moment. Pape Daouda Diong will be part of Pochettino's important project and it is certainly hoped that he can provide a different color to the Blues' midfield.

I think the previous signing of Moise Caicedo was the biggest failure for Chelsea because the player who was priced at more than 100 million euros could not contribute for half a season with Chelsea and it is possible that this player will be projected to be a starter to replace him. There is no information regarding the costs and contracts that apply to Pape Daouda Diong at Chelsea and what is clear is that the costs are not cheap. Well, hopefully this time Pape Daouda Diong can give the Stamford Bridge public the expectations they deserve.

Napoli having him seems like a privilege and also Osimhen planning on upgrading his level.

I doubt more and more every day if Osimhen goes to the EPL, because he seems to be enjoying his most comfortable zone at Napoli. As many have said before, this could have bad consequences for Osimhen if he continues to laze around at Napoli without thinking about the big opportunity in front of his eyes. Make no mistake EPL clubs can take other options if they get rejected. It all depends on Osimhen whether he will stay at Napoli or take up the EPL club's offer. For me in a competition as big as the EPL now the players need the clubs, not the clubs that need the players. Because no matter how great Osimhen is if he doesn't get an offer from an EPL club, it means his criteria are no longer taken into account. EPL competition is very tight so it requires mental players who want to develop. Is Osimhen the right person for that? maybe but his comfort in Napoli could make Osimhen darken his eyes.

Pape Daouda Diong will be part of Pochettino's important project and it is certainly hoped that he can provide a different color to the Blues' midfield.

Usually when I see news of big clubs acquiring young talent, I get optimistic about the future, but in the case of Chelsea I just assume we've been down this road before and we know the outcome.
Chelsea have spent over £1 billion to sign players, most of them young players but none of them have become better than they were before signing for Chelsea. As a matter of fact, all of them have gotten worst. So the new signings of Chelsea don't interest me, no matter how good the players have been.

I think the previous signing of Moise Caicedo was the biggest failure for Chelsea because the player who was priced at more than 100 million euros could not contribute for half a season with Chelsea and it is possible that this player will be projected to be a starter to replace him.

Well, hopefully this time Pape Daouda Diong can give the Stamford Bridge public the expectations they deserve.

Caicedo's signing made me have a lot of questions about Chelsea and their new owners. Who buys Caicedo for 100+ million pounds?
We know the market is inflated, but that just doesn't make any sense. So much would players like Rodri be worth? Because Rodri is 3x the kind of play Caicedo is, so should he be worth 300 million.
Unbelievable business is what Chelsea is doing.

Jesus Christ!! I don't know how you go ahead to say things like this comfortably, How can you say Caicedo is a failed player? All he needs has to be some good level of consistentcy so he can bounce back. Not just him Mauricio Pochetino should know how to manage the big names, failure to do that as a manager then you don't deserve to be in that club as a manager.

I don't even know this player called Papa Daouda, I'll go see his highlights on YouTube to see what he brings into the Chelsea squad. They uave too much young players now they have to try to mix them up with experience players.
Saddens me to an extent that Victor Oshime wouldn't be making a move to Chelsea this season no more. Good luck to him with the rest of the season.

No no no my friend, he was right if caicedo was a complete failed player. His performance is not even worthy with his price and it sounds sense to call him as a failed transfer by chelsea along with jackson and many others.
Im not expecting a lot from caicedo this time and he was overrated player. Look at his performance in the field. Pochettin needs to be blamed as well, caused by this coach is making everything go to the wrong way.
The way pochettino managing the club is also told us about how stupid he was. Enzo was injured but shall pochettino try to keep use ugochukwu to play? This is the dumbest decision from him.
I rarely seen that a stupid coach that is still giving chance for the garbace players to play.

I don't even know this player called Papa Daouda, I'll go see his highlights on YouTube to see what he brings into the Chelsea squad. They uave too much young players now they have to try to mix them up with experience players.
Saddens me to an extent that Victor Oshime wouldn't be making a move to Chelsea this season no more. Good luck to him with the rest of the season.

Same as me, im very unfamiliar with this name and this is another stupid move from chelsea. One option we are exploring is to recruit a player who is not familiar with the EPL and has no previous experience playing in the league. How can pochettino able to make chelsea to perform better once the club was always wasting its resource to recruit the young players with no experience in EPL. This is an example about how stupid pochettino is. he doesn't even know how competitive EPL is right now. Pochettino keeps repeat the same mistake anytime.
No doubt if some chelsea fans are starting to yell pochettino out. I can feel what the fans are feeling about chelsea right now. It's full with uncertainty and inconsistency.

Chelsea have been building the squad behind the scenes for the future. They have signed quite some no. of players who are young and I think it is the right way to build the squad. However it will be important to see how Pochettino will bring his involvement into the main squad. I think it will take some time before the Pape makes into the main scene.

About signing of Caicedo, I think Chelsea did a good job signing him. It takes some time for a new player to adjust into the squad and Caicedo really is a strong player. So far I think he is doing a decent job at Chelsea. I think it will take time for Pape to replace Caicedo as Caicedo has plenty of experience as compared to Pape and in my opinion Poch also will give more priority to Caicedo over Pape for a regular squad. For 100+ million Euros, Caicedo sure was expensive but I really don't agree that it was a huge failure as he has been doing his job quite well in my opinion.

We cannot conclude that Moise Caicedo is a waste of funds. The midfielder has been at his best in Chelsea. If you take a close look at the Chelsea team, the problem is not the midfield but the attack. Chelsea has one of the best midfielders in the EPL and I can assume that based on their ball possession in most of the games they played. The only problem the team has is the inability to score goals.

The club's reason for signing the seventeen-year-old Pape Daouda Diong is not to replace Moise but to learn from the senior player. Many clubs identify young exceptional players who will be groomed and integrated into the first team. Some of these player are cheap and can be trained to become big names. Chelsae has a history of identifying young talents and this was the case of Romelu Lukaku and John Mikel Obi.

Yes, Osimhen is the player who succeeded in bringing Napoli to win Serie A last season and Osimhen is also the best player with the most goals.
Without Osimhen I don't know what would have happened to Napoli and what they could have achieved in Serie A last season.
Osimhen departure might have significant impact, especially for their development, which is currently not possible, with Osimhen presence the setbacks experienced by Napoli are not so bad.
And you are right that there must be more careful consideration if Osimhen will go to the Premier League to play for one of the team there and maybe he can have good career, maybe not.
If it only for Chelsea then there won't be any good development that Osimhen can get, in fact I'm sure Osimhen will be disappointed if he actually plays for Chelsea.
Moreover, Osimhen has also extended his contract with Napoli and this is proof that Osimhen will prefer to stay and fight with Napoli in the next few seasons.

It has been claimed that Arsenal's successful midfielder Mohamed Elneny will come to Trabzonspor. Since Elneny's contract will expire at the end of the season, he can be purchased for a very reasonable amount of money during the winter transfer window. I think he will be successful in Trabzonspor. He previously played for a short time in Türkiye and was successful in Beşiktaş. However, due to the high cost, he couldn't be transferred during his prime period. Now he's a little older and it's easier for him to come here. If Trabzonspor allocated a good budget, they can make this transfer. Abdullah Avcı wanted him very much. I think it would be a very right transfer move for them, if they can get him signed.
