I never diverted away from Hato. No matter what happens at LB/LCB, Hato is a must. It’s early in his development to sign him but I’d rather secure him now for Jorrel to develop at Arsenal & learn the system. Another elite potential Swiss-army knife defender (like Jurriën is).

Crystal Palace Rebuild🔴🔵 With Palace an established Premier League team for a while now, it’s clear they’ve stagnated A lack of ambition has them stuck around mid-table flirting with relegation on occasion when they’ve had the foundations for much more. Here's what I'd do...

Wesley Gassova is a serious talent. An unpredictable dribbler with a serious amount of power and explosiveness in his stride. Wesley’s rapid change of direction helps him break from defenders and unleash a powerful shot on goal. 🎥: @jdp343

River Plate’s academy continues to create elite potential talents. Next up: Franco Mastantuono🇦🇷✨ Advanced intelligence, excellent creator who judges the weight of pass excellently plus a ball-striking threat shooting from distance particularly on free kicks💥 [THREAD]

The shock of Brasileirão’s final day was a Santos RELEGATION. All season they were carried by 20y/o striker Marcos Leonardo🇧🇷 An instinctive poacher with similarities to Sergio Aguero💥 Leonardo could be one of the best opportunity signings💭 A potential bargain👀 [THREAD]

In the days where full-backs can be so influential in games, full-backs who can invert, overlap AND defend are so valuable💰 That’s why to me it’s such a surprise that not enough people are talking about Tiago Santos👀 The Portuguese Lille RB is so underrated📈 [THREAD]

Zinchenko was outstanding and it’s barely spoken about. Gabriel Jesus brought the fire but Zinchenko brought the ice. The most composed Arsenal player on the pitch. Whilst everyone was rushing every pass, he would turn back, slow the tempo, calm everyone, then progress play.

Mohammed Kudus, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Simon Adingra and Ernest Nuamah. These are some of the explosive attackers that the Right to Dream academy produced and FC Nordsjælland developed✨ Next up: Ibrahim Osman🇬🇭 The Ghanaian LW/ST is one to watch👀 [THREAD]

One of the most complete 17 y/o midfielders. Yes he’s got great ball manipulation and creativity but he’s defensive ability, awareness and tackling is top quality. A leader at 17 too Bergvall & Vermeeren are 2 #8 prospects rumoured to be going for around 10m. Long-term steals.

Jakub Kiwior. Misunderstood and under-appreciated. A player of real quality whose reputation has been somewhat damaged due to playing in an unfamiliar role with limited minutes. But what a game from him yesterday. More of that and he’ll force his way into the team. I hope so.

🇳🇱 Hato & Simons - Double Dutch 🇳🇱 Two players with elite football brains that have gone through the highest calibre of education and thrived in high pressure situations. Mouldable but exceptional thinkers made to deliver on the biggest stage. These are MUSTS. My top 2 MUSTS.

Diomande, Yoro & Vušković are the CB prospects who have this same quality to ‘dunk’ on opponents. Diomande through the way he bodies attackers, solid immovable brick wall. Yoro more through his exceptional last man tackling. He’s got those octopus legs. Vušković has both.

One of the things I love most about Saliba is his inevitability in 1v1’s. So often a winger will beat another player first but when they arrive to Saliba, his presence is frightening. He locks off all angles and just collects the ball like it’s HIS and they stole it off him.

Really hope Kudus is still an option for us in the near future Yes he’ll cost more now but for me there’s no better RW option for what we need and add to the fact he’s so versatile playing ST, LCM, RCM it’s a no brainer Wanted him as our 5th summer signing, would’ve been insane

The day Šeško realises he’s 6’5” he’ll be a monster. Physicality and aerial duels aren’t close to optimal yet, with time and coaching, his ceiling is high. Šeško is raw but has excellent fundamentals. Havertz, Šeško, Obi all part of the mobile Giraffe ST club.

Yamal is a joke. His ball manipulation is ridiculous and the way he can open up his stride to have a higher top speed on transitions is just devastating. Really hope he’s not another who struggles with injuries. Could be one of the best in the world in no time.

FC Porto signing Alan Varela for only €8m has to go down as one of the bargains of the season💶 Perfect player-club fit with a potentially huge sell on value📈 Varela has been a key player this season for Porto and has a very complete profile✅ [THREAD]
