Frank names Tottenham youngster who has the potential of a Ballon d’Or winner

da imperador bet: Tottenham Hotspur are finding their feet in the Premier League this season and there is a swell of internal belief surrounding one of their most promising stars.

Tottenham's resilience leaves Frank delighted

da betway: Over the years, external narratives involving Spurs have questioned their mentality to grind out results when the pressure is on, but Thomas Frank appears to be in a position to reverse that trend.

Speaking after Tottenham’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Leeds United last weekend, the Danish boss made it clear that his side have the dig needed to secure momentous victories even in testing circumstances.

He stated: “I think if you want to build any successful team you need mentality and character and cohesion and togetherness. No matter if you play like Inter or Barcelona or whatever style of play, you need that willingness to do everything to win, and I think we are building that more and more in the team.”

Of course, stiffer tests are to come and Frank’s men will need to show they have the mettle to claim a regular stream of points. Regardless, one loss in seven Premier League fixtures is a marked improvement on last term.

Ambition inside the building will lead that charge, and Spurs’ reported move for Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is a sign that they aren’t willing to settle for just being part of the chasing pack.

Putting that aside, Frank will need to focus on the talent he has at his disposal for now, even if the January window offers an opportunity to add new faces to his collective.

Listening to that advice, the Spurs manager now believes he has a player that can rival some of the world’s best in his position over the coming years.

Frank makes exciting Archie Gray prediction

Profiling his role, Frank believes Archie Gray could one day be as good as Declan Rice or Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, and has urged the former Leeds United man to take his game to the next level under his stewardship.

He stated: “I see him as a midfielder who can play six or eight. That is his position and these days midfielders need to be more complete.

“You need to be a little bit of a six, a little bit of eight and 10 and two of the best in the world right now are probably Rodri and Declan Rice. They can do a little bit of everything. I see Archie, and they are big names to compare him to, but I see he has got the same potential.”

Making 51 appearances for a club of Tottenham’s standing at 19 years of age is a commendable achievement, though it remains to be seen if the England Under-21 international can one day rival two of the Premier League’s most established midfielders.

Ex-Rangers striker spots something about Russell Martin after latest Ibrox defeat

da realbet: After yet another Glasgow Rangers defeat, former Scotland and Gers striker Steven Thompson revealed what he noticed about under-pressure Ibrox manager Russell Martin.

Martin "disappointed" by Genk defeat

da dobrowin: Last weekend’s Scottish League Cup victory over Hibernian was billed by some as the beginning of a stunning turnaround for Martin, whilst many others assumed it was simply a glimmer of hope. Now, having watched on as his side suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Genk in the Europa League, the pressure is once again increasing on the Rangers manager.

The 1-0 defeat means that the Gers have won just four of the 14 games that they’ve played during Martin’s tenure in a record that many around the Ibrox faithful of course deem unacceptable.

It will now be all eyes on Rangers’ trip to Livingston this weekend. Lose that, and they could move as many as 12 points adrift of leaders Celtic and may even move level on points with bottom side Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership. That would surely be that for Martin.

From Loch Lomond trips to endless defeats, there’s been a lot to forget about the manager’s time at Ibrox so far and former Scotland striker Thompson has already noticed one thing from last night’s game.

What Thompson noticed about Martin in Rangers' defeat

Watching on as the manager explained to the press why his side came up short yet again, this time against Genk, Thompson claimed “there was an acceptance” to Martin as the pressure continues to grow. He told BBC Sport:

Whilst he has previously stated that he still has the full backing of the 49ers, even Martin may know that the defeats are piling too high now. The big question now centres around his potential replacement if the owners decide to pull the trigger in the coming weeks.

Names such as Steven Gerrard have found themselves in the headlines as a result, and he’s now free to return to management following previous contractual issues with Al-Ettifaq.

If the Gers are looking for a manager who knows how to put a winning side together at Ibrox, then welcoming their last Scottish Premiership winner back to Ibrox wouldn’t exactly be a bad idea.

Newcastle now make early approach to sign £40m+ Real Madrid player on loan

da leao: One of the biggest stories of the summer was around Newcastle United’s striker situation, as it looked inevitable that their talisman, Alexander Isak, was going to complete a British transfer record move to Premier League champions Liverpool.

da dobrowin: The deal’s biggest sticking point was finding a replacement for Isak, and Eddie Howe’s side eventually found two with Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade and Brentford’s Yoane Wissa. Between them, it looked like they could make up Isak’s goals, but it hasn’t been the smoothest start to life in the North East for the new strikers.

Wissa picked up a knee injury during the international break and is yet to make his debut. The DR Congo player has been ruled out for at least Newcastle’s next matches, and his debut may come after the next international break.

When asked why Woltemade received less than 30 minutes of game time against Barcelona, Howe cited it as being the result of Wissa’s injury, alongside Anthony Gordon’s suspension from the Liverpool game. The lack of options has meant that Woltemade has been handled delicately to ensure they aren’t left without any attackers.

While the two new attackers had previously looked sufficient to replace Isak, the opening weeks of the season have demonstrated how quickly Newcastle could be left shorthanded. Due to this, the club are already looking ahead to January to deepen their attacking roster.

Newcastle's Endrick loan plan

Newcastle are looking at bringing in Brazilian striker Endrick on loan from Real Madrid as a solution to their attacking frailties. The 19-year-old is yet to play a minute of football this season under Xabi Alonso and Madrid, alongside Endrick’s party, are concerned that a lack of minutes may hamper his development.

Reports from Spain indicate that this could be the perfect match that provides all parties with what they need. Newcastle are reportedly looking for “a young, dynamic offensive reinforcement hungry for success”, and Endrick is looking to gain more experience and can do so against the notoriously strong defences of the Premier League. In fact, the Magpies are one of the ‘among the first to inquire about his availability’, making an approach to Madrid in the process.

Endrick cost Madrid around £41.4 million, but at this stage, there is no indication that anyone involved wants to make the move permanent, and it is just a good fit for the back half of the season.

From Madrid’s perspective, they can keep Endrick on their books and allow him to develop without taking minutes away from their other forwards like Kylian Mbappe.

Endrick plays like a young Wissa

While there is currently no reason to suspect that Wissa’s knee injury will keep him out longer than his current predicted return date at the end of October, there is always the chance of it re-occurring or taking time to get back to full fitness.

If this does happen, then in the loan signing of Endrick, they will receive a similar style striker. While the Brazilian is young and hasn’t had the opportunities to fully develop his game yet, he looks to be becoming a very similar profile striker to Wissa.

While Wissa is the more experienced and more prolific goalscorer, the pair share lots of similar stats in terms of passing and build-up play, registering similar amounts of passes and a similar success rate, as well as being close in terms of xA.

From Endrick’s perspective, playing with Wissa could give him an insight into the type of player he could become, and Howe will be able to rotate the two players when necessary without having to make other tactical changes due to their similar styles of play.

Wolves bid for star rejected but he's now up for sale and could join in January

da cassino online: Wolverhampton Wanderers are already pressing ahead in their efforts for the January transfer window and could now have an avenue to landing a key target, according to a report.

Wolves look for stability after rocky Premier League start

da dobrowin: Undoubtedly, Wolves have work to do under Vitor Pereira if they want to avoid being dragged into a scrap this campaign after a poor run of early-season results.

Three straight Premier League losses against Manchester City, Bournemouth and Everton have left the Old Gold rooted to the bottom of the table, albeit executive chairman Jeff Shi is confident that stability will come in the form of results sooner rather than later.

“Wolves need stability now – we need a coach to stay here and help us for a long time. Every coach needs time and the jigsaw to be made. We should give the coach enough time and the players he needs to prepare for the season.

“I feel the more important thing to define this season is the squad and the coach, the chemistry and the unity. If you have that foundation, you will have a strong season. If you don’t, maybe you have a doubt. Before Vitor came the team chemistry had some problems. This year that issue is gone. We have a strong team spirit and a very committed team structure.”

Tolu Arokodare’s late arrival from Genk has offered a much-needed forward option to work with alongside the likes of Jorgen Strand Larsen. However, missing out on Josh Brownhill despite talks with the former Burnley midfielder was an unfortunate turn of events.

Late on, Wolves also failed with a £30 million bid to sign Middlesbrough star Hayden Hackney, but they may be about to complete a return swoop for another one of their targets during the summer window.

Wolves target Christos Mandas could be sold in January

According to Corriere dello Sport, Wolves target Christos Mandas is likely to be sold by Lazio in January after losing his spot as their number one goalkeeper to Ivan Provedel. During the window, the Old Gold submitted a bid worth over £17 millon for the Greece international, who kept six clean sheets in 20 appearances last term.

Unhappy to become a deputy for the entirety of the campaign, Mandas is waiting for his chance, though may be forced into considering other options if Provedel remains in front of him for the foreseeable future.

Lazio are open to selling the 23-year-old for significant financial gain, opening up an opportunity for Wolves to pitch a vision of Premier League football to the Serie A star.

Maintaining a 74.3% save percentage in the Italian top-flight across 2024/25, it remains to be seen if Pereira can tempt the talented goalkeeper to the West Midlands once the January window opens.

Ten Hag sold him for £9m: Man Utd had the original Mainoo who Bruno loved

da cassino: In what was a year to forget for Manchester United football club, captain Bruno Fernandes endured a season to remember on a personal level – producing numerous moments of magic despite the team’s failures.

da roleta: The Portuguese international racked up a total of 37 combined goals and assists across all competitions – by far and away the highest tally of any member of the first-team squad.

However, he was unable to catapult Ruben Amorim’s side to any form of success, as the Red Devils ended the 2024/25 Premier League campaign in a measly 15th place.

The first team desperately needed reinforcements over the summer, something which the board provided with the likes of Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo.

Despite the additions in forward areas, a new midfielder was desperately needed, subsequently adding further quality to the side – but also pushing another talent down the pecking order.

Kobbie Mainoo’s future at Manchester United

During the 2023/24 campaign, academy graduate Kobbie Mainoo was a breath of fresh air to the United side – popping up in key moments during his breakthrough campaign at Old Trafford.

The 20-year-old scored multiple times that year, including a last-minute winner against Wolves – before netting the crucial effort in the FA Cup final triumph against rivals Manchester City.

However, in recent times, the Englishman has struggled for consistent action, starting just 19 times last season, with minutes even harder to come by this campaign.

Mainoo hasn’t started a single league game in 2025/26, with his only starting outing coming in the embarrassing Carabao Cup second round defeat to Grimsby Town.

He’s spoken about wanting to leave his boyhood club on loan in recent times to gain valuable game time elsewhere – but his request was denied, subsequently needing to fight for his place in the side.

Such a situation has been a disappointing one for both the player and the club, with a resolution needed, but they may have made a mistake in allowing one former youngster to depart.

The former United star who was the original Mainoo

United’s hunt for a new midfielder was evident during the summer transfer window, targeting numerous talents throughout Europe to offer further quality in the middle of the park.

Bruno, who’s primarily an attacking midfielder, has been forced to operate in a deeper role this campaign – especially after the arrivals of Cunha and Mbeumo in the number ten positions.

Hopefully, such a decision doesn’t take away from the numbers he produced last season, already getting off the mark with his last-minute penalty against Burnley last weekend.

However, a new partner alongside him has been desperately needed in recent times, potentially making a mistake in allowing former youngster James Garner to depart the club.

The Portuguese international has previously praised the Englishman, labelling him a “good player” after the Red Devils’ pre-season tour back in 2021.

Everton midfielder James Garner.

He rose through the youth levels at Old Trafford, just like Mainoo, but would only make seven first-team appearances – with his spells away from the club catapulting him to stardom.

Garner would spend 18 months on loan at Nottingham Forest, catching the eye with his box-to-box displays, registering eight goals and 10 assists over his two separate loan spells at the City Ground.

He subsequently helped the Reds secure promotion back to the Premier League in 2022, in a spell that would catch the eye of a side already plying their trade in England’s top-flight.

The 24-year-old joined Everton on a permanent basis for an initial £9m in the summer of 2022, with Erik ten Hag not seeing the player in his plans – with the Toffees getting themselves a bargain given his form on Merseyside over the last couple of seasons.

Garner has since made 88 appearances for the Toffees, showcasing his versatility, operating in the middle of the park, as well as right-back, but still thriving despite the unnatural role.

He scored his first goal of the new season in recent weeks, with his beautiful strike from outside the box securing the Toffees a victory in their first outing at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The £9m fee now appears to be way too cheap, given his recent success away from Old Trafford, potentially being able to cement his place in Amorim’s side had he stayed at the club.

There’s no denying he was the original Mainoo, rising through the club’s youth levels, but ultimately, their loss is Everton’s gain – with Bruno missing out on starring alongside the Englishman.

New Demarai Gray: "Magic" star set to sign for Birmingham City on Monday

da betobet: Birmingham City might not be wrapped up with all their dramatic summer business just yet.

da cassino online: At the start of the frantic transfer window, you couldn’t move for rumours suggesting the Blues were going to splash the cash on another exciting talent, with the number of incoming signings standing at 12.

That tally could well sneak over to the 13 threshold before 7pm, as a late loan deal looks to be in the offing to boost Birmingham’s already flashy attack.

Birmingham to sign Premier League attacker

It would be fair to say the whirlwind activity has slowed down in recent times, however.

Expect the pace to pick back up, though, with Football League World revealing that the Blues are plotting a late loan move for experienced Sunderland forward Patrick Roberts, alongside also not giving up on winning the services of Celtic winger Yang Hyun-jun.

The report states that Chris Davies wants more ammunition after a lacklustre showing in Birmingham’s recent 2-0 loss to Leicester City, with Roberts ticking the boxes.

Derby have also been interested this summer, but it looks as if the Championship newcomers are lone suitors now chasing after the 28-year-old with Sky Sports reporting on Monday lunchtime that the Blues are ‘set to sign’ the winger on loan.

How Roberts could be Gray 2.0

He might well end up being Davies’ second coming of Demarai Gray, offering the Blues another skilful, yet seasoned head up top.

After all, while he has fallen down the pecking order as Sunderland shot up to the Premier League, Roberts would still be a top asset for Birmingham to possess temporarily, based on his previous EFL heroics.

From 170 games at the notoriously punishing level, Roberts has amassed a healthy haul of nine goals and 22 assists, with nine of those goal contributions coming about just last season, before he was cast aside for Sunderland’s own quickfire business.

Gray has also proven himself to be sharp, tricky performer – much like Roberts down the right flank – whenever he’s plied his trade in the tough division, with eight goals and four assists next to his name from 76 Championship career outings.

Two of those assists have been tallied up since his return to the club, with Birmingham hopeful that the loan addition of another second-tier veteran can propel the Blues further into the promotion reckoning, after a largely positive return to the level so far, minus the disappointment of the 2-0 loss at the King Power Stadium.

After all, from his three seasons at the level with the Black Cats to date, Roberts has managed to steer the Wearside outfit to two triumphant playoff finishes, culminating in the glory of promotion at the end of last campaign.

Tony Mowbray would even herald his slick Englishman as “magic” during the 2022/23 season, irrespective of his side unfortunately slipping up in the lottery of the playoffs, with Davies now wanting a slice of Roberts at his very best to improve an attack already boasting Kyogo Furuhashi, Jay Stansfield, and the aforementioned Gray.

The West Midlands outfit has shown they can already cut it with the big boys of the EFL’s elite league, with just one defeat from their opening four league encounters.

But, landing Roberts, who is just fresh off a promotion success, could be a sublime addition to really take Birmingham to that next level, as his know-how, alongside Gray’s further experience, attempts to make back-to-back promotions an insane reality.

Tottenham now progressing in talks to sign £70m+ star, breakthrough imminent

da apostebet: Tottenham Hotspur are now progressing towards a spectacular deal to sign an “extraordinary forward”, and a swift breakthrough on personal terms is likely.

Tottenham vying to sign new winger

da bwin: In many ways, it has been a difficult summer for Tottenham, having missed out on Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White, leaving Daniel Levy with a lot of work to do before the transfer deadline, which is in less than one week’s time.

As we enter the final stages of the transfer window, Spurs appear to have three main targets on their transfer shortlist, all of whom enjoyed impressive 2024/25 campaigns.

However, it has proven to be difficult to get any deal over the line, with Real Madrid demanding around £86m for the Brazilian winger, while some Spurs chiefs are pessimistic about their chances of tempting Manchester City into a sale.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, however, a deal for Savinho is very much still on the cards, with talks now progressing, and Tottenham thundering towards what would be a spectacular signing.

The Lilywhites are in active talks over a deal for the 21-year-old, and Man City are now lining up a replacement, which suggests Pep Guardiola’s side will be willing to cash-in on the young winger before the September 1st deadline.

Crucially, the starlet is keen on a move to north London, in order to become a key part of Thomas Frank’s project, which means a swift breakthrough on personal terms is now likely, although not yet agreed.

With discussions over a £70m+ deal progressing, it is now looking more likely the Brazil international will move to N17 before the deadline, which could be a major boost for Frank…

Savinho could be "extraordinary" signing for Spurs

Guardiola has previously made it clear he doesn’t want to see the winger leave, saying: “I am only concerned right now that Savinho will be with us for the rest of the season and hopefully many years, because of the potential he has at 21. He has to improve in final positions but he is an extraordinary player.”

It is true that the former Girona man is still raw, and his end product could be a lot better, having scored just one Premier League goal up to this point, but an assist tally of ten in his debut campaign at the Etihad Stadium is very impressive.

Tottenham desperately need to bolster their attacking options, and Savinho is the most exciting option on the shortlist, given that he is still only 21-years-old, and he has already proven himself in the Premier League, so it is exciting news that a deal is now looking more likely.

Bad news for Ndoye: Nottingham Forest "pushing" to sign "exciting" £35m gem

da spicy bet: It feels like a lifetime ago now since Morgan Gibbs-White was being tipped to desert Nottingham Forest.

da winzada777: Indeed, at one point in the frantic transfer window, it looked nailed on that the exciting number ten was going to leave the City Ground behind, with Tottenham Hotspur his most likely next destination.

Thankfully, a switch to North London never got off the ground, with Gibbs-White starting both top-flight games so far for Forest this season, as they remain unbeaten, slotting back into Premier League life.

Dan Ndoye has been stealing various plaudits, too, by picking up a goal and an assist across this positive start, with Nuno Espirito Santo hopeful he can add in more impressive recruits, such as the ex-Bologna man, before the window suddenly slams shut.

Forest pushing to sign £35m star

The Tricky Trees have suddenly sparked into life in the busy transfer market.

Both Omari Hutchinson and James McAtee have entered the building from Ipswich Town and Manchester City in quick succession, costing Nuno’s men a whopping £67.5m in the process.

With Ndoye also in through the door, Forest’s forward line is undoubtedly littered with some top-quality up-and-coming gems, with a new £35m target also on their radar to add in even more firepower.

Journalist John Percy has taken to X to confirm that Forest are “pushing” to try and snap up RC Strasbourg attacking menace Dilane Bakwa before the window is over, having previously been reported to have had a bid in the region of £30m turned down.

£35m might well be enough for a move to come back to life, as per Percy, with the purchase of Bakwa potentially being troubling news for Ndoye, who will want his position as the Tricky Trees’ starting right winger to be as solid as possible, even if competition soon arrives.

How Bakwa compares to Ndoye

Of course, Forest did wave goodbye to Anthony Elanga this summer, meaning they were left a tad light in the right-winger department.

That has since been fixed with Ndoye’s arrival onto the scene, but Bakwa’s stunning numbers in Ligue 1 to date indicate he could be somewhat of an immediate upgrade on Forest’s brand new, flashy £34m signing.

When glancing at the table above, it’s clear that Bakwa is more of a creative force than Ndoye, which further makes him more alike to the departed Elanga, who registered a hefty 21 assists for Forest from his 81 games at the club, before Newcastle United turned his head.

The Strasbourg star has collected 17 assists for himself in the testing French top-flight, with his ex-Bologna counterpart only managing six in total from 62 Serie A clashes.

With the same number of goals next to his name, too, as his potential soon-to-be City Ground comrade, it isn’t out of the question to assume that Bakwa would make similar immediate strides in the Premier League, like Ndoye, having also been labelled “very exciting” for his consistent excellence in France by journalist Josh Bunting.

Bakwa does look well-equipped to take on this next leap – having already collected two assists this season for Liam Rosenior’s early Ligue 1 high-flyers – but it will all rest on whether Nuno can get all these stunning attackers into the same XI.

Based on the evidence outlined, the 23-year-old might well feel hard done by if he isn’t immediately placed into the side at the expense of Ndoye, as some intriguing selection headaches now potentially arrive at the Portuguese manager’s door.

Nottingham Forest now "preparing a bid" for "fantastic" £25k-p/w playmaker

da 888casino: Nottingham Forest are now “preparing a bid” for a “fantastic” playmaker, who has been a subject of interest for a number of Premier League clubs this summer, journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed.

Forest looking to bolster options at full-back

da dobrowin: Ola Aina was one of Nuno’s most important players in the Premier League last season, making 35 appearances, but the manager has set out to bolster his options at right-back ahead of his side’s upcoming European campaign.

Neco Williams has also proven himself as a dependable option on the opposite flank, but given that the Wales international is more accustomed to playing on the opposite side, Nuno may look at bringing in another option at left-back this summer.

Earlier this week, it was revealed the Tricky Trees were in talks to sign Omari Hutchinson, and the forward is not the only Ipswich Town player on the shortlist, with Jacobs taking to X to state that Leif Davis has also emerged as a target.

Nottingham Forest are “preparing a bid” to sign the left-back, who is clearly highly sought-after, with the journalist revealing Ipswich have already knocked back offers from different Premier League clubs this summer.

Jacobs has since offered a further update on Forest’s pursuit, suggesting that it could be difficult to get a deal done, given the Tractor Boys’ unwillingness to sell.

"Fantastic" Davis could be exciting addition for Forest

The Ipswich defender, who was once dubbed “fantastic” by Cartlon Palmer, poses a real threat on the front foot, as showcased by the fact Kieran McKenna’s side were heavily reliant on the full-back as a playmaker during the 2024-25 campaign.

While the 25-year-old struggled to make much of an impact in the top flight, picking up three assists all season, the attacking numbers he chalked up in the Championship and League one were remarkable.

As such, the Englishman could be an exciting addition from an attacking point of view, and it could be useful for Nuno to have a different type of player to choose from at left-back, given that Williams flourishes from a defensive standpoint.

There may be some concerns about the fact Forest want to sign the £25k-a-week full-back and Hutchinson, given that both players were relegated from the Premier League last season, but Davis’ attacking prowess means it could be a risk worth taking.

As exciting as Gyokeres: Arsenal close in on sealing blockbuster signing

da fezbet: After three successive years of finishing in second place in the Premier League, Arsenal fans will undoubtedly be getting tired of their inability to end their drought without a league title.

da bet nacional: The Gunners have now gone over two decades without a Premier League triumph, with patience potentially running thin among the fanbase should Mikel Arteta fall at the final hurdle once more.

The hierarchy have already backed the manager in his quest to reach the next level at the Emirates, spending upwards of £200m on new additions, subsequently improving various areas of the pitch.

Arsenal manager MikelArteta

Christian Norgaard and Martin Zubimendi have already been added to the midfield department, adding key depth after various departures earlier this summer.

However, despite the huge funds already splashed on various new additions, countless other options are still being considered by the club in an attempt to further their ambitions of finishing top of the pile.

The latest on Arsenal’s hunt for new additions this summer

Despite the addition of Noni Madueke this summer, Arsenal are targeting the addition of Real Madrid star Rodrygo in an attempt to bolster the attacking department.

However, any deal for the Brazilian would see them face competition from various sides, such as Manchester City and North London rivals Tottenham, for his signature.

He’s not the only attacker currently in their sights between now and the end of the window, with Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze also high up on their shortlist, according to one Spanish outlet.

Real Madrid's Rodrygo

They claim that an agreement is close between the Gunners and the Eagles over a ‘blockbuster’ £55m deal that would see the 27-year-old move to the Emirates ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

It also states that Oliver Glasner’s side are resigned to losing the England international this summer, but a deal will have to be put on hold until his side land a replacement.

Why Arsenal’s latest target would be as exciting as Gyokeres

Viktor Gyokeres is undoubtedly Arsenal’s most high-profile addition during the current window, which is no surprise given his goal tally at Sporting CP.

The Swedish international netted 97 goals in his 102 appearances, having the ability to transform the club’s form in the final third if he can replicate such levels in England.

However, he will have a huge price tag to live up to, after the hierarchy forked out £63.5m, including add-ons, to secure the services of the 27-year-old this summer.

The fanbase are already all aboard the hype train of Gyokeres, after the forward netted his first goal for the club in the recent pre-season triumph against LaLiga side Athletic Club.

However, despite the recent excitement around the move, the club could land a star just as impressive as the Swede should they complete a deal for Eze in the coming weeks.

The 27-year-old would provide a versatile all-round option in the final third, able to feature out wide or in the number ten position – not to mention his experience in England’s top-flight.

His stats from the most recent campaign highlight the ability he possesses in the final third, able to create for others whilst also having the tools to thrive individually.

Eze, who’s been labelled “sensational” by talkSPORT’s Rory Jennings, completed 2.4 take-ons per 90, whilst making 1.7 carries into the final third – having the tools to offer fresh impetus to the side in attacking areas.

He also registered 16 combined goals and assists in England’s top-flight last season, having the tools to provide an end product to his mazy runs into the opposition’s penalty area.

Such tallies highlight his ability to provide for others whilst being able to find the net himself, which is hardly a surprise given his tally of 3.5 shots per 90 – which ranks him within the top 6% of all players in the division.

If he can replicate the levels he’s produced at Selhurst Park in recent times, it would be a superb addition that would further improve the options at the manager’s disposal.

Eberechi Eze for Crystal Palace
