Here’s the most recent transfer news on Eze, Guehi and Isak.
Spurs make their move for Eberechi Eze
According to multiple reports, including this one from Fabrizio Romano, Spurs have made their relocate to try and sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace. Per the report, Spurs are pushing hard to sign Eze and talks are continuous as the England playmaker is keen on the relocation. Per a report from the Guardian, Toolbox remain very thinking about signing Eze too however are focused on carrying on players initially with the likes of Leandro Trossard, Reiss Nelson and Fabio Vieira offered for transfer. The Guardian likewise goes on to state that Eze has a release stipulation of $91 million which ends this Friday, however that Spurs are not likely to satisfy that charge.
Where should Eze go? Either Spurs or Arsenal would be the step up he requires and Eze is coming off a terrific season for club and nation. He was the hero as Palace won the FA Cup, had his finest ever season in terms of goals and helps and broke through to ending up being a routine in England teams. With James Maddison out hurt for the majority of the season and Heung-min Son leaving, Eze knows that Spurs remain in desperate requirement of a brand-new creative center and he will be a star. At Toolbox he would also likely start but there is more competition for places there. If he wants to be the main male he should go to Spurs and his design of play on the counter under Thomas Frank might work much better at Spurs. However given his quality and creativity it’s also easy to see why Eze would be a crucial player for Arsenal too. This will not be an easy choice for Eze but it appears he is going to swap south London for north London this summertime. He deserves this chance to be a star at one of the big young boys and play in the Champions League.
Liverpool hold talks with Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi
On the other hand, Liverpool are apparently back in for Crystal Palace center back Marc Guehi, who the Reds (and Newcastle) formerly pursued last summer and in January. Guehi has simply one year left on his agreement and is commonly expected to leave Palace on a complimentary transfer next summertime, so it makes good sense they would wish to sell– in spite of his indispensable existence in the group. Liverpool got an up-close take a look at Guehi in the FA Cup last back in May and once again on Sunday in the Neighborhood Shield– another Eagles victory– and now feels the perfect time for everybody to get what they want.
Most notably is Liverpool’s want/need for Guehi to join their team. Virgial van Dijk showed last season he is still That Guy and Ibrahima Konate had a strong campaign as well, but Konate is easily the worst on-ball defender of the trio– something that Arne Slot will be increasingly eager to improve in year 2– and has actually shown to be a frequent injury concern during his time at Anfield. The next time he goes down, the depth chart reads as follows: 3) Joe Gomez, who is hurt regularly than Konate; 4) No one.No-brainer of an offer for everyone included.
Alexander Isak is not backing down on Liverpool move
A report from David Ornstein states that Alexander Isak is “determined he will not play for Newcastle once again” as the mess surrounding his future intensifies. The report goes on to state that Isak will not “reintegrate” with the Newcastle squad even if he isn’t sold by the end of the summertime window. Isak desires his dream transfer to Liverpool however Newcastle are digging their heels in for a British record transfer fee of well over $150 million.
What else can Newcastle do in this situation? If Isak really does not wish to play for them again, what choice do they have aside from offering him now? His worth will drop massively if he spends the next five months beinged in the stands and he knows that. Liverpool do too and will be happy with how this is playing out as they have all of the power in these negotiations. Isak has actually been a star for Newcastle, scoring 54 objectives in 86 Premier League games for Magpies. But the way this has been dealt with is a mess and Isak is now going for it to press through his dream move to Liverpool.
