@FPLReaction' first FPL draft

Transfer Window: gossip and rumours

Last modified date

With the summer here, the internet is rife with FPL transfer rumours and gossip. So here is a round-up of today’s key talking points.

The summer transfer window is always busy for clubs as they get ready for the new season. It is also a time where FPL managers carefully watch the market to get a feel for how their FPL teams might look next season.

As singings are made official our new signings article will be updated.

Wednesday 1st June: gossip and rumours

Fabrizio Romano and the Daily Mail: West Ham planning to strengthen their defence

Fabrizio and the Daily Mail are reporting that West Ham are in talks with Rennes to sign Nayef Aguerd. Aguerd is a centre-back who could potentially replace Isa Diop who is being linked with a move away from the club.

FPL comment: With West Ham playing European football again next season Aguerd would be a good strengthen to their team. West Ham struggled defensively last season as a result of big injuries, however with a new centre-back they could be a good defensive option for FPL managers.

The Guardian: Lukaku back to Inter?

After a difficult first season back with Chelsea, the Guardian are reporting that Lukaku will try and push for a move back to Inter this summer.

FPL Comment: A lot of FPL managers invested in Lukaku when he first arrived back at Chelsea, however his lack of minutes meant he was quickly sold. A move away from the Premier League would free up managers budgets for other premium options.

The Sun: Moving Mount?

The Sun are reporting that Manchester United are keen to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea. They suggest that the sale of Chelsea has made new contract talks difficult and that the Manchester club are monitoring what happens closely.

FPL Comment: Mount was Chelsea’s top scoring FPL asset last season and therefore could be a great option if at United.

Tuesday 31st May: gossip and rumours

The Telegraph: Man City after two more players

The telegraph are reporting that Man City are interested in signing two more defensively minded players. Kalvin Philips from Leeds and Marc Cucurella from Brighton. Philips would be to replace Fernandinho who leaves City this summer.

FPL comment: Both signings would strengthen the Man City defensive line. Cucurella especially could be an attractive FPL target under Pep. This is especially true if he is priced as a Brighton player and then moves clubs.

Sky Sports: The race for Spence

Djed Spence was at loan at Nottingham Forest this season from Middlesborough. The right-back has been key to Forest making it back in to the Premier League. Sky Sports are reporting that Forest will bid to keep the player on a permanent basis this summer. They suggest the club are more hopeful since achieving promotion. However they also report that Spurs, Brentford and Bayern Munich are chasing his signature.

FPL Comment: Wing-backs have been key in FPL this season. Regardless of which club Spence is at he looks to be a great option in FPL 2022/23 if he is at a Premier League club. The player returned three goals and four assists last season.
