Chelsea could inadvertently help Brighton snatch one of Mauricio Pochettino’s transfer targets should the Seagulls receive their desired £100million for star man Moises Caicedo. The Blues have so been reluctant to stump up the necessary cash after having two bids turned down, but they are still looking to bring in a midfield partner for Enzo Fernandez. Roberto De Zerbi’s side currently expect Caicedo to remain at the club and have been impressed with his attitude despite making his stance clear that he wants to move for Stamford Bridge. However, there is still nearly a month left of the transfer window…
The Blues are on the hunt for a new defensive midfielder and are exploring multiple options after getting priced out of a move for No.1 target Moises Caicedo. Among these options are Leeds’ Tyler Adams, PSG’s Leandro Paredes and Ajax’s Alavrez who has been on their radar for over a year. Chelsea made a late move for the Mexico international last summer but saw their £43million offer rejected, despite the player going on strike in an attempt to force through a transfer. The 25-year-old later reflected on the saga: ‘As a player you are aware that this would change everything. A better league,…
Excitement for the 2023/24 season is well and truly building as Arsenal look to continue their rise up the table. Ahead of their Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest on August 12 they first have to take on Manchester City, a true test of their credentials. Although the Community Shield rarely acts as a true precursor for failure or success in a season, in fact it is often the opposite, having lost out to Pep Guardiola’s side at the top last year, Mikel Arteta will be determined to get off on a positive note here. It is a true curtain…
Liverpool face a race against time to get their summer business done before they kick off their new league season against Chelsea on August 13. Klopp made two early midfield additions, and both Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have featured in pre-season. However, with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho completing moves to the Saudi Pro League, further reinforcements could be required in the middle of the park. That’s not the only area of focus for the Reds, who will be looking to improve on last season’s fifth-place finish in the Premier League. Here are the latest transfer lines from around Anfield. Brighton…
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists Liverpool must do more in the summer transfer window. The Spaniard admits other teams are currently ahead of what the Reds have achieved in this market. Liverpool have made two signings so far, bringing in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai for a combined initial fee of £95million. Jurgen Klopp had to make up for the midfield departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. However, the German has since lost a further two experienced options in the middle of the park. Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have both left for the Saudi Pro League in mega-money deals. Guardiola himself hasn’t…
The Reds have little over a week now to get any outstanding business done should they wish any potential additions be involved in their opening Premier League fixture against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It remains to be seen if or when a third offer is launched for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, who might be in Championship action for his current club this evening – one to keep an eye on. Otherwise rumours continue to link Andre Trindade of Fluminense, while Brighton & Hove Albion have dealt a blow to anyone monitoring Moises Caicedo with their transfer stance. Lavia fails to feature…
The Reds ideally need to acquire a few more players if possible, given the depth of outgoings that have already occurred in the current transfer window. To that end, though they still have until September 1 to get any deals over the line, they do really need to work hard and fast if they want to get players in before the first game of the new Premier League season. That would allow Klopp more time to integrate them into his squad and starting XI where possible. According to Globo, it was back in 2020 that current Fluminense star, Andre, caught the…
