Transfers and gossip up to June 12th
As the leagues come to their conclusion around Europe and the rest of the world, many will be looking to buy, loan or sell players. We catchup with the transfers and gossip up to June 12th with the help of top tier source Fabrizio Romano and other reliable sources.
Overviewing the transfers and gossip up to June 12th can be a huge help for fantasy managers around the world. Whether it affects Fantasy Premier League, UCL Fantasy or another Fantasy game, we look at what the deal could mean for the player or team from a fantasy point of view.
Youri Tielemans to Aston Villa
David Ornstein confirmed that Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans has agreed to join Aston Villa as a free agent. Leicester’s relegation drew plenty of interest from teams looking to add to their own squads. Tielemans is considered as a high quality central midfielder and will add to Aston Villa’s all-important squad depth ahead of their European campaign.
David Raya to Tottenham
Fabrizio Romano states that Brentford goalkeeper David Raya is on the verge of agreeing personal terms with Tottenham. Raya became the highest scoring goalkeeper in FPL this season, largely due to his 12 clean sheets.
If David Raya does make the move to Tottenham, it could indicate Huge Lloris no longer holding the number one spot. The move could even make the Tottenham backline more investable for FPL managers going into the new season.
Declan Rice to Arsenal?
Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Arsenal are entering a crucial stage in their move for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice. If Arsenal do sign the central midfielder, then FPL managers could be even more interested in the Arsenal assets for the new campaign.
Is Christian Pulisic leaving Chelsea?
Chelsea look set to release a range of different players in the summer and Christian Pulisic is one of them. Fabrizio Romano stated that there is a concrete chance the winger will leave the Blues this season. The American was impressive for his international side in the most recent World Cup, bagging a goal and two assists in his four matches.
One of the teams showing interest in Pulisic is AC Milan. This could also add some depth to the Italian side and perk the interest of UCL Fantasy managers.
Where is James Maddison going?
Both Tottenham and Newcastle are also in the race to sign Leicester’s James Maddison. The attacking midfielder managed an impressive 10 goals and nine assists in his 22/23 league campaign. It is also worth noting that Newcastle have Champions League football next season which could also be a factor.
