Premier League clubs making major improvements to their attack departments before what is billed as one of the most competitive high -level campaigns for decades, Sky Sports Jet one eye to the strikers who could shape this season …
The No. 9 and the No. 10 were the speech of summer and large funds were spent to seek objectives.
Chelsea suspended her hopes on Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, Arsenal has all their eggs in the basket of Viktor Gyokerres, while Man United was unleashed and reorganized his entire line before by signing Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko for a combined 207 million pounds Sterling.
Liverpool also loaded a front load, splashing a nine-figure sum on Florian Wirtz before pushing the overall expenses beyond the 250 million pound sterling with an expense of 79 million pounds Sterling on Hugo Ekitike.
And we have not yet reached a conclusion on the saga of Alexander Isak, with potential costs for the newcastle forward likely to overshadow everything we have seen so far. So who wisely passed? And how will each team use their new weapons to hunt for the Glory of Premier League best?
After their worst season in 51 years, the only way is for Man United and their new shiny three-part attack, molded in the form of the famous 3-4-2-1 system of Ruben Amorim.
AMORIM has always maintained, given the choice, he would not have taken the uninvable task of awakening the most successful club in English football from his discomfort in the middle of a season, if the proposal had not been “now or never”.
What followed was quite disastrous: most defeats (18), fewer points (42) and fewer goals (44) in the history of the club in the Premier League. But now, with a complete pre-season to transmit its particular style and the tools with which it is successful, can we expect an increase?
Mbeumo and Sesko are exciting additions. The two had offers other clubs and still chose Man United, despite no participation in the European competition for the first time in 11 years and no title since 2013.
Sesko scored 21 goals in all competitions for RB Leipzig last season, ending with 39 in 87 appearances in total. Its rhythm, its movement and its acute finish should suit the fluid attack of Amorim, Mbeumo and Cunha doing creative work.
Some intimidating devices, with Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea in their first five games, will underline the theory test. Obviously, all three have proven a pedigree – everyone is an obvious improvement compared to the Rasmus Hojlund without luck – but if they offer the right balance of creativity to the threat of the objective will have to be judged on a later date. Just say that 44 is not a difficult to beat.
Most believe that Wirtz and Ekitike are the real deal despite their relatively modest age. The latter scored 15 goals and helped eight others in 33 Bundesliga games for Eintracht Francfurt last season, while Wirtz makes football terribly easy.
Over the past two years, the German international has won 67 goal targets in 75 games all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen, with an equally effective split of 34 goals at 33 assists.
Both are advantages for rapid transitions and have the capacity to play between the lines, ready to complete the already abundant attacks of Liverpool. The eyes of Mohamed Salah had to light up when Wirtz crossed the door to Melwood – a fast, skilful and progressive playmaker with nuances of Kevin de Bruyne? Yes please.
In the style of the Arne location, expect an aggressive counterfeit.
The chemistry between Wirtz and Ekitike already shows an exceptional promise. This is a disturbing development in the evolution of the champions in place of the slot.
Let us be honest, Arsenal Le Fud for years, managed to get away with sufficient goals to satisfy the two consecutive places thanks to the brilliance of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. Not enough for a title, however.
Each transfer window has teased a signature of the big name without ever really delivering this commitment. So far.
Gyokerres “will destroy the defenders,” insisted Mikel Arteta last weekend. Perhaps the fact that he received the emblematic shirt # 14 by Thierry Henry is intentionally disturbing. Like the legendary French, Gyokerers thrives in the width of the posts. He wants to stay on the last line, with intimidating physics and racing power.
An attacker who can charge defenses and accelerate attacks – marking 23 times after fast breaks last year – will considerably help the fate of Arsenal. And above all, no player in the eight best divisions in Europe has matched the 39 goals in the gyker league for sport.
In fact, during his two seasons in Portugal, Gyokerres hit the level numbers of Erling Haaland: 79 goals in 83 games in the Liga and the Champions League, proving that he could very well be the missing piece in the dream of reducing the Arsenal title.
Chelsea’s desire to separate large sums of money has been a must in the transfer market since Todd Boehly took a controlling participation in Stamford Bridge just over three years ago.
In the aftermath of the introduction of the PSR rules of the Premier League, they were the only club while keeping the magic of the life transfer window. Now others have caught up, but we always thank Boehly for connecting the plot gap.
And yet, the last wave of Chelsea is even more interesting, as new arrivals Delap and Pedro Jostle for the first choice striker. The Brazilian is undoubtedly more mobile and dynamic than Delap, but has struggled to stay without injury in the past 12 months.
Its versatility through a fluid front line will nevertheless be useful to Enzo Maresca, who could use Pedro as the second striker behind the old target man of Ipswich if he wishes if – or even on the wing.
Delap, on the other hand, has already been a good ally of the greatest asset of Chelsea, Cole Palmer. The couple was prolific for Manchester City youth teams over the past years.
Pedro and Delap, both on the match sheet as Chelsea AC BATTU AC Milan In a recent pre-season friend, recorded a combined contribution of 30 goals in the Premier League last season (22g, 8a) and this type of firepower can maintain a significant title charge-at least beyond Christmas, which is realistic where Chelsea has finished the last mandate.
Pep Guardiola professed that he did not want a wholesale change in Manchester City halfway to the disastrous collapse of last season, but that seems to be what he has. City became large in January and has invested further this summer.
Rayan Cherki attracted the most excitement, especially due to comparisons with a Lionel Messi – who may have as much to do with his short stature as his impressive ball control, but any association with the great Argentinian must be deemed favorable.
Messi’s ability to open a match is what was captured in an overview of Lyon last season, in particular notable in the performance of the Europa League, with 12 goal contributions of 11 departures.
Of course, City does not need another brand No. 9 of the signature, they have Haaland, which will be supported by the addition of Cherki to complete its own score habits while the city such to reaffirm itself in the image of the title. Things have become interesting.
