4 Premier League Transfer News
1. Ansu Fati Joins Brighton
We will start with the most surprising premier league transfer news this week as Ansu Fati will join Brighton on loan from Barcelona. The famed replacement of Lionel Messi has struggled with injuries and playtime under Xavi. Thus, after close deliberation with his team and Barca, Fati is willing to move somewhere else on loan to fulfil his wish of enjoying more playing time and having a more prominent role in the squad.
Brighton immediately pursued the youngster, and Fati agreed just as quickly to join the club while forgoing other Premier League clubs like Spurs. Another main reason why Fati chose Brighton was due to the attacking playstyle of Roberto De Zerbi and the motivating phone call shared between the two.
While Brighton seems the perfect fit for Fati to regain his form, Xavi has stated that he will always be a part of Barca moving forward: “Ansu is an important player and is part of the heritage of Barca, now and in the future.”
2. Ryan Gravenberch Joins Liverpool
While it is not the most surprising Premier League transfer news this week, Ryan Gravenberch joining Liverpool has dominated headlines for Premier League transfer news in the last 48 hours.
After the departure of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Naby Keïta, midfielders are a common topic asked by reporters to Jürgen Klopp. While Liverpool has signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, the lack of a proper CDM still raises questions about their title chances. However, after weeks of speculation, the Kop will welcome Ryan Gravenberch on a £34.2 million deal from Bayern.
It is understandable for Gravenberch to seek a life after being starved for minutes in Munich, but the Premier League is not the easiest. It sounds redundant, but prospects from Ajax like Antony and Zieych have not enjoyed life in the prem. However, with his desperation for the opportunity to steer his development back on track, we could see him succeed in the colours of Liverpool.
3. Sergio Reguilón Joins Manchester United From Spurs
Although Manchester United provides brilliant and sometimes comical Premier League transfer news, Sergio Reguilón joining them was not on many people’s bingo list. Many United fans have doubted their ears and scratched their eyes when Premier League transfer news links them with Marc Cucurella and Sergio Reguilón, but reality has now set in.
While we could understand other fans mocking the signing as a panic buy, it is unfortunate how United ended up in this situation, as their two left-back options, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, are currently out with injuries.
However, considering that United agreed to sign Reguilón on loan, with Tottenham having the option to recall the player in January with no option themselves to make the deal permanent, does not bode well for the image of United.
4. Cole Palmer Joins Chelsea From Manchester City
Premier League transfer news of Chelsea is regular, maybe even too frequent, as Cole Palmer joining Chelsea from Manchester City did not garner as much attention as the rest of their signings this season. However, he could ironically be their best signing as he has Premier League experience, which others don’t.
Although the switch from City to Chelsea seemed to come out of left field, it is not totally unexpected if we recall the comments from Guardiola after the UEFA Super Cup. When asked about his opinion of the English starlet, Guardiola replied: “The opinion I had when he arrived is he wanted to leave, but now I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t think a loan is going to happen.”
The Spaniard added: “I understand he wants to be more active than the previous season., but Riyad [Mahrez] has gone, so we have one more place there. I cannot say anything because, of course, all the decisions need to be made by the club. The club has to decide what the best is. All together, we will do it.” Thus, we can see why Palmer left City and how both parties will benefit from the £45 million deal.
