⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[bitLeap]

Recently many have doubted Arsenal's front line because this club actually needs an active front line to appear strong and be able to continue to compete with Man City and Liverpool, their rivals have good front lines while Arsenal is below them Mikel Arteta should recruit players needed by the team if they stick with the current players I doubt Arsenal can beat Man City's consistency and the second position could be shifted by Liverpool who this season are trying to provide fierce competition at the top of the standings.

Recently Arsenal has been linked with Florian Wirtz I would be happy if this club recruited the attacking midfielder who would help the team strengthen the front line while Man City lost Rodri for 1 season and this is Arsenal's opportunity to break Man City's dominance but what I know is the price is very expensive but the management might be able to discuss it with Leverkusen management to get a suitable price.

Wow, it will definitely give Arsenal a sharp injection to boost their performance in front of Man City someday. Hopefully Florian Wirtz really considers the offer because he will play in the EPL which can make his career even more uphill. Arsenal must have a striker who is not only able to complement but from the skill I am sure Florian Wirtz has what Arsenal has needed all this time. But what about Leverkusen? Losing Florian Wirtz will only make it difficult for them to continue competing in the Bundesliga, and now Leverkusen is playing in the UCL, of course they cannot sell important players who have contributed greatly to Leverksen achievements so far.

Point of correction, Arsenal has quality forward players, maybe if you had said that they lacked depth I would agree with you easily. As per the attacking midfieder, they have Odegaard and he's still young and vibrant right now. Instead of splashing such figures on  Florian Writz, th y should rather go all out for Viktor Gyokeres. Thoughts? Look this current Arsenal squad, what they need right now is a complete and proven striker who can convert goals. Maybe Alexander Isaak would be great name to mention too!

It's better to sign Gyokeres rather than Wirtz, what Arsenal need is striker, they don't really need Wirtz even though he's skillful and can play in many positions. Both Wirtz and Isak are already overrated, this will make Arsenal spend more money than they should.

Take a look with his statistic, he's always perform in any match, if he not able to score a goal, at least he can give assist. If he can get a good results against Porto and International match, it means he's really that good.

Agree with you that Florian Writz real position is not centre striker and Arsenal has several players who has the same characteristics as Florian Writz at their team just like Raheem Sterling or Leandro Trossard so they don't have the players who can be used as centre striker and indeed Arsenal has Gabriel Jesus but we cannot expect anymore to this player because since joining with Arsenal Gabriel Jesus cannot performing well just like he was showing at Manchester City

According to the transfermarkt Viktor Gyokeres has 65 million of market price and i think this is reasonable price if we see from his quality and at Sporting he hasn't stopping to scores more goals with this team and his records is very fantastic because he can scores 10 goals from 6 matches in Portugal league and probably he is the right player to solved Arsenal weaknesses

Rodri was injured in the Arsenal game and is out for the season. Manchester City have to make a transfer to replace him. There are many names in the press but I like Hakan Çalhanoğlu because I think he can easily adapt to Pep's system. Also, his career in Milan and Inter is very good. This transfer won't be easy but Manchester City can sign him if they don't want to lose the season. They seem to be a bit more comfortable in the league this season but if they want to be more serious in the title race I think they have to make a good transfer...

Rodri will be out for a long time meaning that there should be an immediate replacement. Pep Guardiola has not hidden his love for the Spanish midfielder, and he believes Rodri is irreplaceable. The club already have good players that can fit into the squad until he recovers. Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan or the young player Rico Lewis are all good replacements.

Checking some news outlets and didn't see any news linking Hakan Çalhanoğlu with Manchester City. Mos popt players would like to play under one of the best coaches in Europe who is in charge of one of the biggest clubs in Europe, but Çalhanoğlu is having a good time at Inter Milan. Simone Inzaghi might not also let him go except the transfer money is huge. I also think that looking for Rodri's replacement outside the City squad will give some players the perception that the coach doesn't have confidence in them.

Rodri is seriously injured and will be out for the entire season so this is a place Manchester City must worry about. However, Manchester City may not try to bring any new players to the club to replace Rodri as they already have quality players on their bench. Until Rodri can fully recover from the injury, the Manchester City manager may play with another player on the bench in his place. 

A team's most important player is always targeted by opposing team players and tries to injure him, so when that important player gets injured, the team's performance is disrupted. 
Since Manchester City has an efficient manager in charge, I am assuming that the team's performance will not be random in Rodri's absence.

I have often said that Arsenal does not really need new players in the attacking force. Because what Arsenal really needs is high consistency.
On the one hand, I just think that Arteta is known as a coach who is able to produce a player talent. But why did he choose to spend a lot of money just to get Wirtz?
Meanwhile, for me, Arsenal current attack line still looks very good and has solid performance.

This player has become a mainstay in the Manchester City squad, but with the injury he suffered, Pep Guardiola must have a player who can replace his position. Because it could affect Manchester City's performance, like when they lost Kevin De Bruyne which immediately had an impact on the team's game.
I haven't heard the names that are close to them, maybe they are still choosing which players really fit them, and can also have a significant impact on the game. There is still time for them to analyze the players they will bring into the squad, moreover, for now they don't seem to have any serious problems in the existing squad.

The contract of the Tottenham player from South Korea will end this season. Reporting from Fabrizio Romano, he said that there had been no discussions about his future with Tottenham.
Son himself is one of the players who can be relied on by Tottenham, since he joined the club in the 2015/2016 season he has recorded good statistics, although he has not been able to present a prestigious title for Tottenham. However, this is not his fault, because the overall game can bring a club to win a prestigious title.
Tottenham should keep this player, because they currently have no replacement, unless they have the option to replace his position.

I think Son will retire in Tottenham because he really loyal with Tottenham even though there are many top teams interested with him, Tottenham isn't a team that have financial difficulty, they can afford to pay Son's salary. So, this really depend on Son, whether he still want to play football or not. I'm not sure why Son didn't realize if Tottenham is over when Kane left, he should move to other teams at the time Kane move to Bayern Munich.

I don't see anything wrong with staying in a club as long as you want especially if you are happy in the club and you are not such who likes the titles attached to trophies much, and the club must be treating you well. But at the same time, you have good points because he is no longer getting younger and if his tie with Tottenham is not paying as much as before over time, he would naturally be marketed which is never to his advantage.

I believe he should be wiser though but certainly not following the path of another like you said. Kane and Son have their different lives to live, what makes them happy is what matters most in their lives. However, if he considers his retirement financially and also the name that he had built for himself, moving to a bigger club for either more money or glory should be his best call at age 32, time is no more on his side judging by the age many of them retired from football.

There is still time for them to analyze the players they will bring into the squad, moreover, for now they don't seem to have any serious problems in the existing squad.

Two important players and key pillars of Manchester City game are currently injured, so it is likely that it will have an impact on their game and performance this season, but to be honest with the quality and depth of their squad at the moment course it will not be difficult for Guardiola to try for played other players in the position left by de Bruyne and Rodri, although the substitution may not make Manchester City form return Normal 100% but at least still make them a strong team and remain title contenders, currently Manchester City has some good defensive midfielders who deserve to replace Rodri role such as Rico Lewis and are likely to be able to maintain the stability of their team, while losing De Bruyne, wouldn't it be an opportunity for Guardiola to played young players or other players to can indeed replace De Bruyne in the future?
Especially at this time De Bruyne future is no longer certain due to his contract expiring soon and I think Nunes could be one of the players worthy of Guardiola consideration at the moment.

I think if Tottenham doesn't make much effort to renew his contract and Harry Kane finally been able to lift a trophy this season then I think he will see no other reason to remain in that club, where it seems highly impossible to win a trophy no matter the effort he has put.
I would prefer he leaves there are so many clubs in europe who will want him, whereby he can also play Champions league football or at least Europa league and still get a trophy either his first two seasons.

No doubt Son is amazing player now he is playing his last season with Tottenham even we are having no updates about his future but as he spends his last one decade here at this club he deserves extension which is going to be possible in coming months but if we have no positive talk about this from both sides then most chances we can have Son in Saudi League as well because after end of this season he could be 33 years old which is surely good age for having contract in this league with huge amount of funds in salary.

Sadly like Harry Kane he fails to win any trophy with Tottenham but still he is having time and age factor which can give him good success in other elite clubs of Europe or having some luxury contract with Saudi club but as things are going most chances we will have positive talk between these two parties for having one or two season more at the Tottenham.

Son Heung-Min has been a very crucial player for Spurs for close to a decade, he’s one of the most influential members of the squad. I wouldn’t have blamed Son if he left the club and went somewhere where he could win trophies. His loyalty to the club is unquestionable. Yes, Son’s performance has declined a bit, but I think the club should keep him because he stuck with Spurs even though they couldn’t give him a trophy in all the years he played for Spurs.

It will be very good if Arsenal gets Florian Wirtz but I don't think leverkusen will allow him to leave easily, Wirtz is Leverkusen's best player and the club didn't want to sell him any time soon because he helps the team and every time he steps up and score goals for the team, Arsenal need a player that can score goals but to Sign Wirtz will be very difficult for arsenal, many teams are interested in signing Wirtz including Real Madrid and we all know how player's Rejected Offer from many teams just to play for real Madrid, I also heard that real Madrid plans to get Xabi Alonso as Real Madrid coach and also sign Wirtz.

It will be very difficult for Arsenal to get Wirtz and to make many teams stop talking about signing him leverkusen will offer him a new contract that will make some teams Run away from signing him, but I think Real Madrid can sign him and Arsenal can sign him but to make the deal happen it going to take time and it going to be tough to get him unless if the player did not want to sign another contract.

Imao Arsenal may bring in a striker because with a high schedule and target, they certainly need more options for preparation. Rather than just relying on the players they have, Arsenal will experience an imbalance if one of them is injured. The solution to a busy and tiring season is to have many more worthy replacements so that they can maintain consistency in their performance. Arsenal themselves are candidates who continue to challenge Manchester City in the Premier League so when they have a striker option, Arteta has more ways to concoct attacks. Because Arteta is a smart coach and deciding to recruit Wirtz means he is believed to be able to provide additional strength in the attack line.

I agree with this.
Arsenal don't need an attacking midfielder, what they need is a striker, a quality striker. Gabriel Jesus is not turning u as he should and they need somebody who can deliver. Viktor Gyokeres is a player that most big clubs are keeping an eye on and if Arsenal really means business, they should be going for him. He's expensive, but would be cheaper than Florian Writz.

With the creativity of Odegaard in attacking midfield and Saka on the right, I think the best thing for Arsenal right now is getting Gyokeres in the middle.
Arsenal's midfield and defence look okay to me, any other player they're getting in that department would just be for more squad depth, but their attack is not that ready. Aside the striker, they also need a world class left winger. Trossard and Matinelli are good, but they're not that reliable in my opinion. Thyre too inconsistent. One match they're in beast form, the next match they're average. So I reckon the get Viktor Gyokeres and Rodrygo from Madrid. He could be tempted with an off to leave Madrid now that he has so much competition in his position.

Arsenal is a team that relies on team collectivity in every match so that the striker impasse in scoring goals so far can be covered by many players who are not positioned as strikers, we can see how Saka and Martinelli are projected as the spearhead in destroying every opponent defense and making it easier for other players to score goals, but even though Arsenal has a sharp attacking line, of course there is nothing wrong Arteta to continue to improve the depth of the squad they have at the moment, because I see the frequent injuries of Saka and Martinelli actually make Arsenal often lose their sharpness in scoring goals because they don't have another winger better than the two except Trossard at the moment, the signing of Florian Wirtz may add to the creativity of their midfield, but I think, the attacking midfielder is not the top priority of Arsenal because after all they have Odegaard, Merino and also Kai Havertz, besides that seeing the many big teams interested in Florian Wirtz of course it is difficult for Arsenal to get him, I think instead of their  bring Florian Wirtz at a high price there is good for Arsenal to bring in a central striker who has a high sharpness and instinct in scoring goals in next transfer window.

The absence of a known striker is a problem that the Arsenal team are facing currently and as always, it is one reason why they will find it hard to secure a trophy from any competition they are engaged in at the moment.

The team is playing great at the moment, but Gabriel hasn't been in form to deliver on goals and Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard, can all try to have a shot at the goal and score in any match, but what i have noticed is that when it comes to almost an end of a season, where more goals are needed, the pressure of the other make-shift strikers to score, often come up disappointing.

Arsenal need to take action ASAP, otherwise other top teams will sign Gyokeres. It's not impossible if Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Milan, or other teams that currently have old/not reliable strikers to recruit him because he's really promising.

If he moved to Liverpool, Arsenal lose two thing, one is Gyokeres and another one is they will face Liverpool with better strength.

125M EUR is a fantastic figure but it's worth it for Wirtz as long as he performs similarly at Leverkusen.

It is possible that bringing in Wirtz will kick Havertz out because this player is not so impressive while at Arsenal or indeed as you say Arteta does not want when there is a problem of attacking line injuries lack of players so before that happens it is better to bring in players first, in addition to the current schedule.

Still asking if Arsenal will give so much money for this one player? Arteta's desire seems clear that Wirtz is a great player and fits at Arsenal.

I guessed Arsenal may little to no competitors in getting Viktor Gyokeres, in January transfer window because most clubs has an active 9 already but in the end of season, they may consider the performance of their 9 or rather opt for Viktor Gyokeres since has been on fire notably since last season till now, though if the Gunners can fet him and he's able to replicate same form at Arsenal then I wonder what else would actually limit them for winning the Premier League

Arsenal urgently needs both of players. I think they want to recruit Wirtz. Their poor performance after Odegaard's injury caused this. They lack of quality in CAM. So, they think Wirtz is their answer to strengthen their CAM.

Also, they urgently need to recruit new attackers. Their current ones are poor. But i think they will put a new CAM as their priority instead of new striker.

I don't think they lose a match without Odegaard, do they? I think the only disappointing result was against Manchester City and you could argue the red card affects them more than Odegaard's absence. Even if they do look for Odegaard's replacement, they have to adjust by preparing different tactics since injury can happen at any given time. It's not like your new player will always be fit either.

[Velvet78]

You don't need to be told to see that Manchester United are creating chances but they just need to be more ruthless when it comes to putting the ball at the back of the bloody net.
I do think Joshua Zirkzee is good bit I can not say the same for a player like Rasmus Hojlund, if I was in charge of getting players, I will never get a player like him despite his energy, he reminds me so much of Romelu Lukaku with Thor heavy first touch of the ball. Maybe INEOS should also jump in to get Victor Oshime, Manchester United needs such striker and I don't lie he would be perfect fit playing with Bruno Fernandez.
playing the ball backwards would have just made yesterday great but Individual error again cost Manchester United that game yesterday.

Hojlund is still very young maybe but that can't be seen as an excuse indeed. He just doesn't improve his finishing much. I see many other examples at the same age doing wonders.

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect him to be like Haaland. That would be unrealistic as we don't have many strikers like him currently.    But he can at least contribute to goals in various ways.

Osimhen's name was called with the Red Devils once. I think they might go after him again. Let's say they signed him then Zirkzee would be a good backup striker. And I don't know what they would do with Hojlund...
