Completely agreed even they are doing good goals in Premier League and their attack is one of the best but as we have one poor performance things started around for the search of new striker even we all know as things are going most chances they will do some shopping into coming transfer window and surely have one from these with Ivan Tony is priority and then Vlahović is also under their radar but who is coming it's not clear but for me most chances Arteta will be love to have Ivan Tony.

With recent media reports are also suggesting something going to happen but what is their main target and how things will be work no one can predict with Porto done good job and win their first leg match and now Arsenal under pressure and need to fight back strongly for the next round because still things are under control.

Liverpool management will definitely ask for Jurgen Klopp recommendation in looking for a new head coach next season. Liverpool will definitely look for a coach who has many systems in common with Jurgen Klopp, to minimize risks and drastic changes within the team. Liverpool transition period will really be felt, because Jurgen Klopp has led Liverpool for a long time, his influence is very broad within the team, so there is great concern that Liverpool will experience a setback after Jurgen Klopp leaves.

Jurgen Klopp has proven his method of work to be successful in polishing Liverpool with the various trophies presented. The way he recruits players, and the way he brings out the potential in each player, and what is most impressive is the way he maintains Liverpool existence as a team capable of challenging for the title every season, is worthy of appreciation. Liverpool must be able to find the right successor, I think there are lots of coaches who are interested in becoming Liverpool coach.

Thanks to his good performances so far at Real Madrid, Toni Kross always gets a place in the starting line up and it is reported that Real Madrid has prepared a contract extension for another season for Toni Kross. Obviously this is good news for Toni Kross and also Los Blancos fans because this veteran player from Germany is considered very worthy of getting a contract extension once again.

Real Madrid worked very hard in preparing this contract and of course Toni Kross would not refuse it considering his love for the Spanish club is very big. He has spent many seasons at Real Madrid and played with other great players before. Now he has become a senior player at the club besides Luka Modric. Despite all that, the decision is still up to Toni Kross whether he wants to stay or leave, but everyone is sure he will stay as long as he is needed.

This news says chelsea was ready to targeting osimhen and kounde from barcelona.

I think that is a very nice movement for chelsea to target those guys. Chelsea has good midfielders but it has no good striker in the squad. It is true that the performance of two strikers, who are owned by Chelsea, fell short in terms of maximizing their potential and contributing to the club's scoring efforts.
There is also another problem that needs to be sorted out like selfishness owned by some players. I saw that how strikers were rarely getting the ball from the midfielders.

The key point from this transfer is now napoli is not yet performing so good in the serie a, this may also push osimhen t leave from the club in the summer transfer season. I dos upport him to join in the chelsea instead of stay much longer in the napoli.
Napoli needs to try even harder in keeping osimhen in the club. Chelsea may be coming with various offers for osimhen and i hope he will continue his career in the EPL next season.

I prefer to see osimhen to join in the english premier league instead of stay in napoli. Osimhen has reached his peak last season but consiscency is the main problem for him. Let him to develop his performance even further by joining in the stronger team than napoli.

Yes, I also agree. The squad that Bayern Munich right now have is a decent one.
They really do not need to make big changes in the squad.

If anything they need a good coach and that is exactly what Xabi Alonso is.
With the squad that they have right now, they will be able to get a hundred times better results with Alonso.



If I am not wrong, the financial situation of Manchester United is not the best at this moment.
They have a few problems to fix. And they cannot afford to spend money like that in my opinion.
Trying to get Harry Kane is another one where I will have to say that it is going to be a good decision if he performs well at Manchester United.
And we all know how that goes



I believe Manchester United should not experiment too much right now. They have to keep the players that they have in the squad.
And they will also have to bring in a coach that will be able to improve the performance.
Some dumb decisions have been taken by Manchester United recently.
They should just look at those and say “Enough, let's just use what we have and  save the money.”

Chelsea would even be the worst place for him. They have been struggling for a couple of seasons and started to be more like an average team rather than a big one. They only have money but the management is too bad. 

About Lewandowski, I agree. His time with Bayern Munich was really amazing. He even broke a goal record in a season in the Bundesliga. But since leaving Bayern Munich he hasn't been playing like in the old times. Maybe one can say he has got older but he was still doing pretty good at Bayern Munich after the age of 30. I don't know maybe Barcelona is just not the best place for him to be fully productive.

Jurgen Klopp has turned Liverpool into a very strong team and he has succeeded in bringing several important titles to Liverpool. If in the end Jurge Klopp has to leave Liverpool then this team will be even more unstable because usually a change of coach can make a big difference in terms of the quality of the game. Several names have been linked with Liverpool but so far there has been no further discussion because Jurgen Klopp will leave after this season ends.

Jurgen Klopp has a good ability when it comes to giving confidence to young players and he always buys players who don't have quality, but instead looks for the players he wants and then polishes them to be more ready to fight. System changes can definitely affect team performance because coaches and players have to adapt again.

Yeah Liverpool's players are mostly dominated by B class players, but they can perform because of Klopp. If Klopp left Liverpool, Liverpool will back to a mediocre team, just like Chelsea. Klopp isn't only become a manager in Liverpool, he's control everything. So if the new manager only work as manager's job desk, there will be a chaos since they need to change the system or the manager need to work hard like Klopp.

Liverpool will not suffer but continue to excel in their EPL matches, a bold start for this elite team. Liverpool board have been working on the crucial replacement of their current coach, Jurgen Klopp is leaving and this is purely bad news for the Reds. But that doesn't mean they will relent but keep working on making the team remained formidable as they are this season and over the decades. Jurgen Klopp have clear his mind and he's keen on exiting Anfield. Liverpool will turn out to be like Napoli in Italian league because their prominent coach is leaving at the end of the season and this have become something to worry about.

I think only Xabi shows great promise in this "young managers" camp, Gerrad failed at Villa and doesn't manage to improve on his new job as far as I know. Other than them, who else? Tuchel, Lampard? Eh, I don't think Lampard is gaining the right attention IMO. If a club has some common sense they wouldn't hire somebody just because people are hyping them up, they'd scrutinize their tactics, etc and decide whether they are suitable for them or not. As legendary as Gerrad was for Liverpool, I don't think hiring him is a good move, he needs to prove himself first IMO. They don't want to become another club with failed romanticism, do they?

Still just a rumor, we don't know for sure who will come next season after Jurgen Klopp's departure. Young coaches are now getting a lot of attention, we call it Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen who managed to perform well during this season, so that might be a consideration for Liverpool to sign him immediately.
Time is still long enough for Liverpool to consider everything, but they also have to move quickly because if they want to bring in a quality coach they will definitely have to compete with other teams who also want to bring him. I don't know who is the closest coach to Liverpool at the moment, maybe they are still conducting an internal aproach process to the coach they are interested in.

if the target is Dusan Vlahovic, it's still not ok. especially if it has to be redeemed at a high price. because Dusan Vlahovic is still not productive create goal. if Osimhen is bought from Napoli, it will be more stable because in addition to being productive, his body are very muscular, very suitable for playing in the English league as well as Drogba and Lukalu. and Osimhen is still young. currently still 25 years old.

He won't going anywhere, Toney is already a matured age, so it should be his peak performance in football career. However his peak performance isn't that good and Brentford will demand crazy amount of money to any club who interested to sign him, it makes other clubs better for looking other players.

Believe me, Mbappe will join Real Madrid and Osimhen will replace Mbappe's position in PSG.

Victor Oshime I think would be a little bit difficult to get right, he's after elevating his club, maybe during the transfer window we can take a good look at that, but him moving to Arsenal would make sense right now, they have all it takes in that team for him and all that matters now is for these winger's and midfielder's to work the ball and give to Victor Oshime.

For me personally, I feel like he is the perfect man to replace Didier Drogba, after Drogba and Diego Costa, Chelsea haven't really had a good number nine for them.
Benjamin Sesko and Evans Ferguson are player's in think won't blend in immediately into the team. The name Ivan Toney, I have come to be fond of this very season. He would fit in very well,but we have to consider his age.

Regarding last update from Fabrizio Romano about Xabi  Alonso transfers there are not any significant progress yet he will accepts offer as Liverpool or Bayern Munich manager. Both teams linked their interested for showing Xabi Alonso become their manager after leaving by previous manager but Alonso said he still as Bayern Leverkusen manager and he doesn't has any update to share with possibilities become Liverpool or Bayern Munich manager for next season.

Actually Xabi Alonso more prefer focus with his team right now Bayern Leverkusen get great achieving in this season become the winner, he doesn't get close more speculation will be Liverpool manager due Bundesliga has many matches left. Not only Liverpool but also Barcelona without manager for next season after leaving by Xavi Hernandez has announced their interested for signing Alonso and make interested which one teams success sign Alonso as manager.

Arsenal really needs an attacking player who must be able to really play well and be able to help in the attack line more sharply, so far there has been no attacking player who can make big contribution by becoming goal machine for Arsenal.
In the UCL competition, all team have their own mainstay attacking players who can really play very well and are able to become goal machines that can be relied on to win every match they play.
If only Arsenal could have attacking players like this then it is very likely that they would still have the opportunity to win the title every season, but they are team that is not as interested in bringing in great attacking players like some other team.

Napoli vs Barcelona draw was completely unpredictable and if you look at the line-up, each of them has mainstay player, such as Napoli has Osimhen and Barcelona has Lewandowski.
It just that for the UCL this season, Barcelona seems like team that is not too strong to be able to become strong competitor in the race for the title, they experienced quite significant setback and it all started with various defeats and draws in La Liga.

In fact, in the middle of this season, when the transfer market opens, it is an opportunity for every team to improve their squad by bringing in various players, but it seems that only few team are really busy in this mid-season transfer market.

Ivan Toney only has a contract until June 2025. Brentford will find a way to keep this striker at all costs. However, it will be challenging to retain the English player in the future, especially when Ivan Toney is desperate to find a new, better quality place to compete for the title. Brentford stood by his side during difficult times, so Ivan Toney likely wants to stay until the end of the season to help the club avoid relegation. Ivan Toney has long been in the sights of many big players in the Premier League. From Arsenal, Man United, or Chelsea are ready to offer high prices to convince Ivan Toney to leave. Until Ivan Toney's fee is determined, Arsenal will still give this striker specific attention. If Brentford asks for 100 million pounds, Arsenal can abandon this deal.
Besides Toney, Victor Osimhen is also said to be the top target that Arsenal aims for.

Liverpool management may target to hire Xabi Alonso as their next coach. But Bayern Munich also wants to target him as their coach for the next season. I think it won't be easy for Liverpool to ensure Xabi Alonso. Moreover, we have another rumor about the interest of Barcelona to try negotiating with Xabi Alonso. Well, it is not impossible because Xabi Alonso won't go to Real Madrid because Ancelotti still becomes the coach.

It is very interesting that many top teams are interested in Xabi Alonso. But I ever read an article that Xabi Alonso considers to stay with Leverkusen because he wants to achieve more titles with Leverkusen. So far, there is nothing clear about the future of Xabi Alonso. It depends on what his dream in the next season, whether to get new challenge in a new team or to stay with Leverkusen for more achievements.

At Lewandowski age, he's not the kind of striker Arsenal need at the moment to solve their striking issues because it's almost impossible for him to to still deliver the kind of performances he was having as at the time he was playing for Bayern Munich and that's why Victor Osimhen will definitely be a better option than Robert Lewandowski if Arsenal finds themselves in a situation that they would have to chose from any of the two strikers.

Lewandowski currently players for Barcelona but is very likely to leave the Catalan club at the end of the season but I don't think he'll be joining another European club because his current age and fitness level will not let him to manage the expectations that comes from playing in European football. The Poland striker have been linked to a transfer to the Saudi Arabian League at the end of the current season

Sure, gabriel and nketiah were not even scoring in the last games. I don't know what's their main job, it's caused by they have no good performance. What i have seen that how they are being so wasteful. This is also making the situation even more difficult for arsenal. The club totally peg with some players like odegaard and martinelli.
It was making the situation even more difficult. Arsenal needs to find someone who is now capable enough in helping club to score. The club needs active striker and i think that arsenal is not having good good striker. The club needs to find a new solution as soon as possible.
I hope that everything will be alright for arsenal. Arsenal needs to buy new striker in summer transfer season. things are going very well. The club has been trying so hard to perform even better than before. The club used attacking midfielder and winger as its foundation to buy a proper attacker.
Im feeling so damn good with winger of arsenal. This thing is going perfectly right now without good striker. Arsenal needs to get its gooddays again. Im sure that many people aware about how poor the striker of arsenal is now.
