Tottenham may have found an obvious bargain as Harry Kane’s late replacement

Harry Kane left Tottenham last summer for Bayern Munich in pursuit of gold and glory, only to find that even at Die Roten, his curse will still not be broken thanks to the juggernaut that is Real Madrid and the new juggernaut that is Bayer Leverkusen. Meanwhile, Tottenham had a relatively more successful 2023/24 campaign without Kane, thanks to the work of new manager Ange Postecoglou, who has proven to be a much better fit for Spurs than Italian coaching icon Antonio Conte. Tottenham improved their attack under Postecoglou and benefited from key new additions in James Maddison, Manor Solomon, and even Bundesliga talent Timo Werner. The biggest boost came from star attacker Son Heung-min and, to a lesser extent, Richarlison bouncing back with productive years, but with Son utilize...

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...

The 5 best striker transfer targets for Chelsea in the summer 2024 window

Chelsea unearthed one of the best players in the Premier League last season with summer 2023 signing Cole Palmer from Manchester City, and he is a potential perennial source of 20 goals after rattling off 22 for the Blues last season. But Chelsea still don't have a top striker to lead the line. Fellow summer 2023 addition Nicolas Jackson showed signs of growth at the end of his first Chelsea campaign, but he still seems to be too inconsistent to be a true superstar striker in the Premier League. As Chelsea continue to look at options on the open market at striker, here are their five best bets in the summer 2024 transfer window. Victor Osimhen, Napoli Napoli star Victor Osimhen is reportedly no longer a transfer target for Chelsea, but he could still become one again in the future ...

5 top transfer targets AC Milan can sign over the Premier League’s elite clubs

AC Milan need to prove to their fans that they are serious about competing for titles under the RedBird capital leadership, as that is allegedly the reason for the club parting ways with 2021/22 Scudetto-winning manager Stefano Pioli. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It looks like Milan are putting their eggs in Paulo Fonseca's basket, but the former Lille and Roma manager is going to need more help, particularly defensively, if the Rossoneri are to close the gap at the top of the table with crosstown rivals Inter Milan. There is optimism surrounding AC Milan based on the caliber of players they are being linked to this summer. Here are five top transfer targets the Rossoneri could legitimately beat the top Premier League clubs to. (adsby...

5 better striker targets for Chelsea than Victor Osimhen

Chelsea had been heavily linked to Napoli star striker Victor Osimhen, but the trail has since run cold, with the Blues evidently having second thoughts about signing a superstar player who was once viewed as a dream target for them. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But both the cost - Osimhen's release clause is worth 130 million euros - and injury history have Chelsea looking at alternatives on the transfer market.

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 ...

5 forwards West Ham can sign to give Julen Lopetegui serious star quality

West Ham fizzled at the end of what seemed like a promising 2023/24 Premier League campaign, and they are now embarking on a new journey with Julen Lopetegui as David Moyes' replacement at manager. Lopetegui had a mildly successful tenure in LaLiga with Sevilla, playing a pragmatic style of football. He leaned heavily on individuals like Lucas Ocampos and Youssef En-Nesyri to carry the day in the attack. West Ham have a few talented forwards, even acknowledging Lucas Paqueta's recent betting charge, as Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen are two of the best attackers in the Premier League. But West Ham could really use one more star player to help the Lopetegui era get off to the right start. Here are five potential attacking signings for the Hammers this summer. Stuttgart ST Serhou ...
