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 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.

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. Here are five better options for Chelsea this summer than Victor Osimhen.

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 ...

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 2024 Ballon d'Or rankings are now increasingly on the minds of fans, with supporters from all over the globe debating the merits of their superstar players and how they all stack up against each other. For example, how do the young stars of Xabi Alonso's historic Bayer Leverkusen side stack up against the elite superstars of the Premier League?

Ballon d’Or Rankings: Bayern Munich get 3, Jude Bellingham vs. Kane, where’s Bukayo Saka?

With most of Europe's top five leagues at their halfway point of the 2023/24 season, it's time to take a fresh look at the top 10 Ballon d'Or candidates for next year, 2024. 10. Bayern Munich AM Jamal Musiala 9. Manchester City DM Rodri 8. Bayer Leverkusen LB Álex Grimaldo Álex Grimaldo isn't the most well-known name in the Bundesliga or even on his own team, but he should absolutely be considered a Ballon d'Or candidate on the basis of his play this season. A new member of the squad, Grimaldo is one of many brilliant signings made by Die Werkself, and he is setting a different standard as a left back who can dictate play and even score great goals. Florian Wirtz, Jonas Hofmann, and Victor Boniface have all been exceptional, but what Grimaldo is doing as a left back with ...

Bundesliga TOTS: Leverkusen dominate, Bayern Munich in second, nobody on Dortmund

With 16 matches played and the Christmas break upon us, it is time to take a look at the best individual performances of the 2023/24 Bundesliga season thus far by naming a Team of the Season. It should come as no surprise that Bayern Munich are well-represented, but with an undefeated Bayer Leverkusen rocking the BuLi in first, it is actually Die Werkself who have the most players in the TOTS. It's not even close. Usual runner-ups Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, are nowhere to be found, highlighting the club's dysfunction under a clearly overmatched Edin Terzić. GK Lukas Hradecky, Bayer Leverkusen LB Álex Grimaldo, Bayer Leverkusen CB Kim Min-Jae, Bayern Munich CB Odilon Koussounou, Bayer Leverkusen RB Jeremie Frimpong, Bayer Leverkusen The defense is almost entirely ...
