Transfer Window: gossip and rumours

With the summer here, the internet is rife with FPL transfer rumours and gossip. So here is a round-up of today’s key talking points.

As singings are made official our new signings article will be updated.

Tuesday 19th July: gossip and rumours

Marca: Kounde agrees terms

Spanish media outlet Marca are reporting that Chelsea have agreed personal terms with 2Jules Kounde. The bid for the player is rumoured to be £47m.

FPL Comment: The loss of Rudiger will weaken the Chelsea defence, however Kounde would restrengthen them. Kounde would make the Chelsea defence stronger and therefore increase the likelihood of clean sheets. He has some good aerial threat as well as great passing ability which will be good for his underlying BPS stats. The player also scored twice and got one assist in 31 La Liga appearances.

Fabrizio Romano: City prepare bid for Cucurella.

Yesterday The Sun were reporting that City were stepping up their interest in Cucurella. Today Romano is reporting that the deal for Zinchenko means that Man City are ready to make a move for Brighton’s Marc Cucurella.

FPL Comment: At £5.0m in FPL Cucurella would be a very exciting FPL prospect at Man City. The defender has plenty of attacking threat and this would likely increase in a attack minded City team. His ability for clean sheets would also increase in Manchester.

Monday 18th July: gossip and rumours

The Sun: Cucurella interest

The Sun are reporting that Manchester City have stepped up their interest in Marc Cucurella. City reportedly are looking for a replacement for Zinchenko who has been linked with a move to Arsenal.

FPL Comment: At £5.0m in FPL Cucurella would be a very exciting FPL prospect at Man City. The defender has plenty of attacking threat and this would likely increase in a attack minded City team. His ability for clean sheets would also increase in Manchester.

The Mail: Broja on loan

The Mail are reporting that Broja will join West Ham from. Chelsea on a season-long loan. They suggest that West Ham wanted to sign him on a permanent deal but the Blues were reluctant to sell.

This is also supported by Fabrizio Romano.

FPL Comment: Biroja proved in his loan at Southampton that when he has the service he can be a consistent goalscorer. At West Ham Broja would have excellent creative assets around him and therefore alongside Antonio could be a good option.

Friday 15th July: gossip and rumours

ESPN: Ronaldo interest

Yesterday multiple sources were reporting that Ronaldo had been offered a lucrative contract with a Saudi Arabian side. Today ESPN are reporting that he is set to turn it down with Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid showing interest in signing him.

FPL Comment: If Manchester United can make Ronaldo happy he would be a great FPL differential. The majority of the game will be looking to invest in Haaland. However, Ronaldo’s a proven Premier League goalscorer and therefore could be a great option if fully committed.

The Mail: Harrison to the Toon?

The Mail are reporting that Newcastle United are preparing to offer £20m for Leeds midfielder Jack Harrison. They suggest that Leeds want more money for Harrison.

FPL Comment: Harrison scored eight goals and returned five assists for Leeds last season in 35 Premier League games. Leeds however had a difficult season where they didn’t; score many goals and suffered with injuries. At Newcastle Harrisons opportunity for goals would likely improve, making him a more attractive FPL asset.

Thursday 14th July: gossip and rumours

Football Insider: Traore interest from the Toffee’s

Football Insider are reporting that Everton are interested in signing Adama Traore this summer. The Toffee’s have reportedly been told Wolves will accept a £10m bid for the winger.

FPL Comment: Traore in the past has been an excellent FPL option. However his lack of consistent game time at Wolves made him a difficult own. The winger returned two assists in La Liga as well as two assists in the Europa League while on loan. If he gets a move to Everton and consistently plays under Lampard he could be a decent differential for FPL managers.

Fabrizio Romano: Martinez to Manchester

Romano is reporting that Manchester United will imminently sign Lisandro Martinez.

FPL Comment: Lisandro Martínez returned one goal and four assists in Eredivisie and the Champions League last season. However he did miss the last seven matches through injury. The Ajax defender worked with new Manchester United manager Ten Hag last season and can play at centre-back or left-back. He could be a good for strengthening the United defence, making the wingbacks increasingly appealing.
