Manchester City's recent form has been unusually poor, and after a four-game winless run in the league, Luton Town, who were away from the relegation zone, had to fall behind before they could win, and even fell to fourth place in the league. I thought this was a great opportunity for Arsenal to open up their opponents, but they also lost 1-0 to Unai Emery's Aston Villa.
Arsenal's attacking firepower is actually not bad, with 88 goals last season setting a 60-year high and the second-highest number of goals in the league, and 33 goals in 16 games so far this season, only three teams behind.
Last season, the Blue Moon relied on Haaland's excellent scoring ability, scoring 36 goals in 35 games to become the leading scorer, leading Manchester City to win the title first-to-last, while Arsenal's goals** mainly came from wingers and midfielders, and the top three goalscorers were Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, and there have been comments that Arteta needs to buy a world-class striker like Pep Guardiola.
Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen have been linked with the Gunners this summer, with the latest rumours of a move to Portugal, where Victo Hueukres, who now plays for Sporting Lisbon, has also been included in the transfer list.
Victor Juurcres is now one of Portugal's leading goalscoring machines, with the 25-year-old Sweden international scoring 21 goals for Championship side Coventry last season to lead them through the promotion play-offs, ending the season with a club-record €24 million transfer fee to join Sporting Lisbon side in the Portuguese Super League.
The Swedish striker settled quickly into the squad after arriving in Portugal, scoring 13 goals in 16 appearances, including two goals and one assist in four Europa League games, which has put him in the spotlight of big and small teams including Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Fulham.
His height of 1.9 meters and solid physical fitness make him often able to win the confrontation with the opponent's defenders in the front court and become the fulcrum of the front court. However, the player's contract with Sporting Lisbon contains a release clause of up to 100 million euros (about 87 million pounds), although the teams can often negotiate with each other to reduce the transfer fee, but Coventry added a resale clause when the player was **, so that Sporting Lisbon could not collect the full transfer fee, and the player's contract will not expire until 2028, so Sporting Lisbon is really not in a hurry to sell the player at a discount.
Desporto ao Minuto also quoted Sporting Lisbon coach Rúben Amorim as saying they would only accept players for a release fee: "I can't guarantee anything, what I can say is what they told me, and that is that any player can only leave through terms. ”
This is the only security that the Portuguese team has. The idea is not to ** anyone in January because we have a full schedule and we need all the available players and I'm at peace with that. ”
At the moment we will only ** players according to that clause, which is different from last year, when Pedro Porro left (to Tottenham) in January and he was very important to us. ”
Interestingly, Victor Huecreth may not have played in the Premier League, but he is no stranger to life in the UK. In 2018, he transferred from Swiss Premier League team Blommapojkarna (If Brommapojkarna) to Brighton, which had just been promoted to the Premier League at that time, for a transfer fee of only 1 million euros, and he failed to gain the trust of the manager, and was loaned to St. Pauli in the Bundesliga and Swansea City and Coventry City in the Championship for several seasons, and finally moved to Coventry City permanently without playing a Premier League game for Brighton, with a transfer fee of only 1.2 million euros.
If Victor Huecres returns to the Premier League at a sky-high price, does it mean that Brighton's big data scouting system will also look away?
