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 surprising superstar signings for Manchester United in summer 2024 transfer window

INEOS is taking over at Manchester United, and the fans are hoping the new ownership group is serious about injecting actual world-class talent into the floundering project at Old Trafford. Here are five surprising names Manchester United could bring into the fold to greatly increase their chances of returning to Champions League football in 2025. Bayern Munich RW Leroy Sane Quietly, Leroy Sane has just one year left on his contract and will be a free agent in 2025, meaning Bayern Munich will have to extend him this summer or sell him to avoid losing one of their best players for free.

5 possible transfer targets for Real Madrid at striker

Although Real Madrid lost Karim Benzema in the summer 2023 transfer window - one year earlier than they expected - the Merengue club elected against opening up their pocketbooks to sign an elite striker option to replace the Frenchman. Instead, Los Blancos acquired LaLiga veteran Joselu on loan from Espanyol following their relegation, deciding to use new midfield signing Jude Bellingham in an attacking role behind a two-forward setup of Rodrygo Goes and Vinícius Júnior. So far, it's actually been defensive issues holding back Madrid rather than attacking woes, even if the presence of a true anchor point at the 9 is missing. It would make sense for Real Madrid to show interest in a 9 this coming summer if the right opportunity did pop up, as incoming signing Endrick is still only ...

Ranking the 10 best strikers in 2023/24: Inter Milan duo join Barça’s Lewandowski, Bayern’s Kane

Nobody generates more headlines than the players who score the goals. Most clubs with aspirations of winning trophies require a man up top who can consistently find the back of the net, with very few exceptions existing in the history of world football. But who are the best strikers on the planet right now? Let's rank the top 10, based on a combination of pedigree and performance in the 2023/24 season, more heavily weighing recent performances. Because sport is a "what have you done for me lately?" business. Note that only out-and-out strikers were included, so players like Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé who share time between positions or players like Vinícius Júnior who are wingers playing as left-sided forwards did not count. 10. Marcus Thuram, Inter Milan Marcus Thuram ...
