The 10 best players Chelsea could sign on the summer 2024 transfer market

Chelsea have been the most active team on the transfer market since Todd Boehly took over the club in 2022, but, for the most part, Blues' fans have been treated to poor results. There were signs of improvement last season, though, because Chelsea brought in two players who were legitimately among the best at their respective positions in the Premier League. Cole Palmer is legitimately a Premier League Player of the Season candidate, while right back Malo Gusto ranks among the best right backs on the planet right now. Chelsea finished well outside the top four for yet another season, but with the right moves, there is optimism that the London-based club can get back to European football's premier competition. Here are the 10 best overall players Chelsea could sign in the summer...

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.

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...
