The 5 best striker transfer targets for Manchester United in summer 2024

Manchester United signed one of the best young strikers in European football last season in Rasmus Hojlund, who showed his quality by the end of the 2023/24 season. Hojlund, however, is the only option Manchester United really have at the striker position, because there is no depth besides him. And with Marcus Rashford struggling with consistency, Man United are thin on goal-scoring outlets as a whole. Here are the five best strikers Manchester United can go after in the summer 2024 transfer window to bolster their goal-scoring under continuing manager Erik ten Hag. Serhou Guirassy, Stuttgart For the price of a mere 17.5 million euros due to a release clause in his contract, Manchester United can purchase one of the most prolific strikers of the 2023/24 season. Serhou Guirassy f...

Nobody is talking about the best striker option for Arsenal after Benjamin Sesko’s big decision

Both Arsenal and their arch rivals Chelsea had begun to pinpoint RB Leipzig star striker Benjamin Sesko as their preferred transfer solution at the position this summer because of his combination of youth and traits as an out-and-out No. 9. The striker position is one of the last remaining areas of need for Arsenal to iron out this summer in their pursuit of the Premier League title, which, once again, went to Manchester City in 2023/24. Arsenal were hugely optimistic that they were in the driver’s seat to sign Sesko, who had usurped the more expensive, older, and more injury-prone Victor Osimhen as their ideal target at the position. Instead, Sesko has decided to spurn both Arsenal and Chelsea in favor of staying with RB Leipzig for at least one more season, where he has formed q...

5 overlooked striker transfer targets for Arsenal in summer 2024

The same names tend to be linked to Arsenal as possible summer 2024 transfer targets, whether they are established stars like Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney or up-and-coming stars like Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres. But here are five more overlooked strikers with legitimate star quality who could help Arsenal going forward in the ever-tense Premier League title race with Manchester City. Lois Openda, RB Leipzig A new signing for RB Leipzig from Ligue 1, Lois Openda was actually the main starter for the Bundesliga giants over Benjamin Sesko. While Sesko should be the priority target from Leipzig over Openda because of his age and upside with his goal-scoring attributes, Openda has more of an all-around game and is pretty much just as impressive as a scorer. Openda was one of ...

3 younger, better strikers Barcelona can sign to replace Robert Lewandowski

Barcelona could be on the hook to pay Robert Lewandowski, who will be 36 when the 2024/25 LaLiga season begins, 30 million euros in each of the next couple of seasons due to a clause that means his contract after 2024/25 will automatically renew. Xavi and other Barcelona decision-makers are growing to regret the 50 million euro signing from Bayern Munich, even as anyone can attest to his importance to the club's title-winning 2022/23 campaign and his continued quality this season with 17 goals and 8 assists. The thing is, Lewandowski has been prone to slumps since arriving in Barcelona and is clearly not the same player he was when he was breaking records at Bayern Munich - records Harry Kane will probably surpass. There are younger strikers in European football who are actually o...

The 7 best Girona players you need to know in 2023/24

Here are the seven best players on Girona you need to know so far in the 2023/24 LaLiga season, with the Manchester City-backed club in prime position to steal LaLiga away from the "big three" of Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid. DM Aleix García Aleix García was the star of the team upon their promotion to LaLiga in 2022/23, quickly establishing himself as not just one of the best midfielders in Spain, but also one of the best midfielders in world football as a whole. The 26-year-old hasn't just picked up where he left off in 2023/24. No, no, the Spanish international entering his prime has upped his game further, even scoring three goals with four assists so far in the campaign. An intelligent defender with a keen eye for the killer pass from deep, García can also s...

The 10 biggest breakout stars in LaLiga: Girona lead the way, Valencia with two, Barça best rivals

LaLiga has been home to some of world football's most exciting breakout stars since the start of the 2022/23 season. Many of those players are getting some more mainstream credit, such as Gavi and other Barcelona standouts, but there are many more who remain criminally underrated. The 2023/24 season is bringing the world some more gems, so, to honor them, let's take a look at the 10 biggest breakout stars of the current Spanish top-flight campaign thus far. Girona LW Sávio The list has to start with Sávio. Just as Aleix García was THE breakout story in LaLiga last season, another Girona star has captured the spotlight on the left wing. Sávio is only 19 years old and already one of the best players in the league, if his performances in 2023/24 continue. And there is no reason to believ...
