Introducing BEAST
Per your request, I spent the down week creating another bullshit new metric to sift through a few hundred potential striker targets, ranking the best possible summer options for Arsenal
There’s a lot at stake this week.
An away matchup against Forest looms later today, which may be seen as sneaky-tough or not, depending on what kind of vibe you bring to the groupchat. Two days later, the January window closes, and while a significant move looks almost impossible, the competition may look to fortify themselves, and we’ve been surprised before. From there, we’ll watch one of the year’s most pivotal contests. It’s Liverpool, again. This time at home.
In the last two posts, What Ails Arsenal and Back in Action, we used something like 15,000 words to chronicle the recent performances, the disappointments and frustrations, the tactical underpinnings, the points we won’t get back, the reasons for optimism, and much more.
I emptied the pantry, and if those writings did their job, that last result — a 5-0 drubbing of Crystal Palace — shouldn’t change our overall perspective much. There were some interesting little tidbits, but the larger picture remains largely the same, and we’ll cover all that in future installments. It was nevertheless nice to get such a result.
With the week off, I posted a Twitter poll asking what I should cover next. The majority cast their 248 votes and asked me to look ahead at the striker market in the summer.
So I used the last week to investigate all that. We’ll soon turn our eyes back to the games ahead, but for the moment, the hell with it.
Let’s talk strikers.
🎙 Setting the stage
When an editor asked Alan Shearer to write a piece about why footballers miss chances, he fired off a response that he called “pure dressing-room bluster.”
“What the fuck are you asking me for?”
What followed was an ever-entertaining look at the mind of a striker, in which Shearer thumbs through dozens of chances, rueing all the misses like they were his own, and using spicy language throughout. While misses tell a part of the story, he paid his hard-earned respect to the other part. “To miss, you have to be in the right place to miss, and that is actually a small success story.”
Arsenal have found themselves in such positions over the last month or two.
Over at CannonStats, Scott Willis ran the numbers and found that Arsenal have generated the league’s most open-play expected goals since the Brentford game in November — and conceded the least. The results haven’t followed, as I needn’t tell you, and we’ve covered the reasons ad nauseam.
The numbers track to the simplest number: goals. We can add all the context we want, but at a glance, this doesn’t feel like title-winning pace at the moment.
There are a few watchwords over Arteta’s tenure at Arsenal. Many of them make the rounds as memes: passion, clarity, energy, duels. Another seems to make as many appearances: dominance.
Over the years, Mikel Arteta has sought to build a squad that is reliably capable of imposing its will on the opponent. In a variance-heavy sport, it’s not enough to play a little better than the opponent. A team must rally around a cohesive vision (clarity), drive it home with every action (passion, energy, duels), and have the physical capacity to do it over and over again (dominance).
Dominance has come through in many aspects of the performances this year.
The team has a lot of the ball. The Saliba-Gabriel-Rice nexus in the back is as domineering as exists in world football. The team generally uses its size and energy to keep the opponent pinned, which shows up in many defensive metrics, holding the highest defensive duel percentage in the league, while restricting the other side to the lowest shots on target per 90 and the lowest non-penalty xG.
Two issues have dogged Arsenal a bit this year. To oversimplify, I’m referring to a) mistakes in the back, and b) a lack of consistent “inevitability” in creating open-play goals. When the opponent does score, it can feel a little too easy — thanks to a soft zone on a set piece or a mistake. Meanwhile, a lot of Arsenal goals can feel too hard to create — they require a sense of intricacy and coordinated perfection.
In no game was this so clear as the one against West Ham.
Arteta was stark in his reflections after that one.
“The result is very disappointing. They were better than us in both boxes. It is what it is. We have to try to generate. We haven’t scored with 30 shots. I cannot imagine a game more dominant.”
That’s the heart of it.
All told, there are a few things to work out or improve in the back, and reinforcements are likely necessary in the mid-term — just one more, to be clear — but I reckon few fans have questions about the overall trajectory of the Arsenal defensive spine.
We’ve become accustomed to William Saliba calmly dispatching opportunities away with a sense of gravitas, unbotheredness, and total athletic dominance. (There’s that word.) With few exceptions, he is bigger than his mark, faster than his mark, more skilled on the ball, and so obviously in the right position for his abilities — and he plays like he knows it.
While there is a lot of talent up front, the question naturally floats to mind: is this what is needed? A Saliba at the 9? A player bigger, faster, stronger, more dominant, more inevitable than his mark?
Of course we’d all say “yes” to that.
If only it were that simple.
🤨 What is needed?
Any search for a striker has to begin with acknowledgment of a few factors.
Striker may actually be Arsenal’s deepest position. With Jesus, Nketiah, Havertz, Trossard, and Martinelli, the squad boasts five quality options at the position — all of whom are capable of starting for good clubs. This is not so much an “urgent need” as a “final piece” type of question. Accept no half-measures.
Finishing can be fickle and is a somewhat difficult quality to chase in isolation. Now seen as a problem, Arsenal finished last season as the league’s top xG overperformers … with the same players.
Price. All clubs are after the highest tier of striker profile, and the sport is awash in shady money. As such, these targets are exorbitantly expensive.
A fourth factor, related to the first, is this: Gabriel Jesus is really good. Every so often, I post a chart like this so nobody gets carried away.
In his career, he has 30 goals+assists in the equivalent of 28.1 Champion League 90s.
But we’re also aware of all the other context about him as a player, including his ability as a great winger, his struggles with fitness since joining Arsenal, and the finishing underperformance. Which ties to the next section.
The Saliba example points to something informative about a possible search for a new forward. In 2024, centre-backs are absurdly gifted — giant, fast, strong, and technical. For fans of basketball, I’ve likened it to the evolution of the NBA, in which a generation of enormous people have been taught since birth that they are not just bullying brutes — they can take the ball down the floor and do the fun stuff, too. It’s led to a cabal of players who are just as “technical” as their brethren, but way bigger.
With the Premier League becoming the Super League, more of these centre-backing aliens are headed to England. As such, it’s hard to find an easy advantage as an attacker. Physical battles become paramount, especially on a top squad. I’ll explain.
When games are more open, a little bit of savvy goes a long way. If you beat your defender by a step when running the channels, that may translate to a yard or two of space over that distance, which is all that may be necessary for a goal.
Similarly, when playing against a lower-tier side who is playing low, a step can be enough, as they may be slower to clean it up.
But from the mid-table on up, it gets difficult for top sides.
We’ll use Brentford and West Ham as examples. Their backlines are huge and savvy and parked in the box. At Brentford, players like Pinnock, Ajer, Mee, Collins aren’t too liable to get tricked or unsettled in the first place. But when it does happen, the spaces are small, so they can usually regroup and fix it with their physical gifts. This is just a tough environment for quick passes and crosses.
Here’s what it looked like late against West Ham. Those who watched will remember that this was not the late-game, protect-the-lead-at-all-costs look from Moyes — this was basically how it looked for all 90+ minutes.
It was moments like this that led Manchester City to seek Erling Haaland and Liverpool to sign Darwin Núñez. In these situations, you can be as tricky as you want, but it’s nice to have two things: killer balls and clear mismatches. The latter category may incorporate height, strength, and leaping — but it may also just include elite burst and decisive finishing ability.
To fast-forward to the conclusion, it’s my belief that Arsenal aren’t short a striker so much as the team is short (at least) one elite-level mega-athlete up front. This player is also hopefully a great finisher. In an era of endless fixtures and interminable games, Liverpool have reaped the benefits of having a deep bench of fresh, electric young attackers to throw at tired backlines. It’s time for Arsenal to join the fun.
In back, Arsenal have this kind of athlete in Saliba and Rice — I’d also probably include Gabriel in this — and you can see how easy they make things look as a result. This also exists in pockets elsewhere. Havertz can dominate the air with relative nonchalance. Martinelli can blow by just about anybody.
This summer is the chance to add another to the ranks.
👹 Introducing BEAST
Longer-term readers of this newsletter will know how I love to make up bullshit stats to identify and rank transfer targets.
In the past, there has been D.U.E.L.S. (Depth Upgrades for the Elusive Lone Six), which Declan Rice topped comfortably — and Zubimendi placed fifth. Then there was Sakanelli, which ranked winger targets and had Michael Olise and Nico Williams at the top of the list back then. I went through some potential defensive targets around this time last year, but never got around to naming a stat around it. Most recently, there was P.W.R., or Pairs with Rice, which sifted through 289 hybrid midfielders worldwide with interesting results.
I’ve never done strikers before. That changes today.
Alas, we unveil a stat to help us identify a Bully Enhancing Arsenal’s Scoring Threat, or “BEAST” for short.
It is only a semi-serious exercise. Don’t @ me.
What follows is not a ranking of the best players available. It is a value-based ranking based on some characteristics we may highlight in such a search. As we’ve covered, Arsenal have good options at striker currently. From my perspective, a signing should only really be made if they fit into the category of rarest, highest-ceiling, freak profiles. This is an effort to find that.
Here’s how I structured the search.
Wide radius: The initial list was 364 total strikers that were valued at over €5m on Transfermarkt, but a manual addition of about 20 others that fell below the threshold that I believed were worth considering. Next, I narrowed it down based on age (17-30), minutes, primary positioning, and some basic production stats.
Stat categories: I pulled four primary categories including dozens of stats from Wyscout, with the four umbrellas being goals, passing, dribbling, and defending. Each had anywhere from 4-10 metrics that poured into a central number. You can probably imagine what they included — everything from shots per 90 to aerial win percentage. Anything goal-related had the highest weighting. Based on how they performed here, I narrowed it down to a list of 81 attackers, pulling out the players who I assumed wouldn’t be available. This was a bit arbitrary. But what isn’t in these lives of ours, when you really think about it?
Statistical baselines: From there, I grabbed some aggregate scores on certain attributes from Sofascore, which combines data that measures a player’s longer-term performance concerning their attacking threat, creativity, and tactical/technical attributes. I used Harry Kane as the benchmark of a complete striker here.
Game Scores: Next, I gathered FotMob scores for the last calendar year, and league-adjusted them to give a general baseline of performance.
Age: Based on their percentiles within the sample, players get bumped up if they achieve production at a younger age, and vice versa.
Domination: I added another category that gave extra weight to players who seemed to exhibit the qualities of an athletic dominator — including height, headed goals per 90, progressive runs, shots per 90, and more.
My bullshit: I then went through and added my own evaluations on two core characteristics — how additive a player was to the current makeup of the squad, and how high I felt their eventual ceiling could be.
Value: Based on Transfermarkt fees, a player’s total ranking is adjusted based on their production relative to potential cost. While this is less of a concrete budget range than usual, it is generally unkind to expensive players in older brackets. I then do some basic league adjustments, which is admittedly a little imprecise this time because I didn’t have a quick way of adjusting based on the exact dates a player changed leagues. It should still be broadly informative based on the majority of their experience.
On the tape side, there were all kinds of little things to observe, from blind-slide runs, to finishing techniques, to general physicality. Above all, I looked to target players who were tireless in the box and decisive in their finishing — who would square up a CB, dissolve on their shoulder, get ignored by their passer, line it up again, and do it all with maximum athleticism and gusto. If we’re looking for a striker who is as discouraging as Saliba is in the back, that’s what it takes.
To the rankings!
👹 The leaders in BEAST
So, who leads in BEAST?
With that, let’s do a speed round of my impressions of the top-20 players on this list:
Everything I could say about the #1 on this list, I said in the wide-ranging report: Scouting Victor Osimhen. There are a lot of nuances in there about his ball-striking, passing, and carrying. Ultimately, if you are targeting a “Saliba of the front,” Osimhen jumps head and shoulders above the rest. He has a track record of scoring goals, he’s in the right age range, he tops this huge list in headed goals per 90, he’s among the best in shots per 90, he’s first in touches in the box, and he might be the fastest and the highest-jumping in the whole sample. Since writing that report, he’s inked an extension which has made his release more palatable. We’ve also seen Arsenal employ a double-pivot setup against Liverpool that would platform him perfectly. But he’s still slightly imperfect and expensive, and with Chelsea looming, only a fool would bet against their willingness to throw stupid money at a problem.
With links to Ivan Toney ever-present, there are wide-ranging reports of his potential transfer fee. I thought I’d include three separate profiles of Toney at different price points to see how he’d slot in. You’ll see all of those there, and this points to my central feeling about Toney from the start: it’s a value thing.
In general, I expected many nuanced, feisty decisions around the potential fee and trajectory of Toney, and I believe those are fully warranted. I didn’t expect so many about his general quality as a player. To me, if we all were to watch a full-90 together, he’s one of the players that we all can basically agree on. He’s a main character, even when playing Saliba, even when playing the top sides.
Furthermore, I don’t think his current role should be confused with all he can possibly offer. He’s deployed in a bespoke, kind-of-lone-attacking-midfielder type role, bringing the ball down in pretty shallow areas and then trying to make direct, ambitious balls work behind. It doesn’t come off every time, but these moments are dripping with technicality, confidence, and muscle. This probably has the impact of negatively impacting his fb-ref page, and making some question whether he can do work as a typical box striker. Going back to his Championship days, you’ll see more typical box-striking, and I don’t see any wider reason to believe he couldn’t work as a more “parked” striker as necessary; he’s strong, quick, smart, and gets his head on it a lot.
This does, however, come with a lot of counterarguments. He’s a late bloomer, he simply hasn’t generated enough shots to be signed without question, he pads with penalties, he has a lot of overlap with Havertz as a player, and he’ll be 28 in March.
Again, it comes back down to value. I did a back-of-the-napkin calculation based on some recent deals in the striker market. I was charitable to Brentford and included those of Harry Kane and Richarlison, in addition to Mitrović, Sébastien Haller, and others. My final number for Toney? £50.4m.
I send out Nketiah prop every week, but can generally get behind the idea of Toney being brought in for a £15m difference or so. But I see very little justification for going to £60+ for him, as the rankings show.
Benjamin Šeško is not quite ready yet. His trajectory is somewhat similar to that of Rasmus Højlund, and while Højlund may be more developed physically, Šeško is 6’4”, fast as all hell, technical, and has a sky-high athletic ceiling. The ball explodes off his foot, and he’s got good per 90 numbers to show for it. In all, it’s a foundational package that is right up there with the world’s best. The catch is that he is still very much in development, needs minutes, and has a wide range of outcomes. The problem with the Højlund signing has never been his talent — it’s been his expectation, fee, and role. I’d gladly give Højlund the Nketiah minutes and see how he can develop, and the reported release clause of Šeško (£42m) makes that an intelligent gamble. There’s a good chance you have something rare on your hands.
Evan Ferguson doesn’t have quite the athletic profile of a Šeško, but he is a younger, more well-rounded prospect. His sophomore campaign has nonetheless been a little more underwhelming, but he is still generating a good amount of shots, and has a career 0.55 goals per 90 in the Premier League after turning 19 in November. And that’s the key: it is not normal to be doing this, in this league, at his size, at this age. If his Transfermarkt were to hold (€65m, or ~£55m), I think a strong case can be made for a move, but I’m not too optimistic that’ll stay put.
Loïs Openda is probably the first surprise on the list. I love him, and didn’t expect him to fare so well given his shorter frame. He just always makes goals happen, relentlessly attacking the goal, finding and exploiting quick little opportunities, picking up everything in his periphery, and drilling them home with a minimal-fuss blast that will remind you of ESR. He’s been on a steady rise, with 0.61 goals per 90 at Vitesse, 0.76 goals per 90 at Lens, and now 0.77 at Leipzig. He performed well in BEAST because he scores in every which way — since last year, he’s got 14 goals with his right, 12 with his left, and 8 with his head. His superpowers are his quickness, balance, decisiveness, and lack of “waste” in his actions. Could I ultimately pull the trigger on a 5’10” striker? I don’t know. But if I did, it’d probably be Openda.
If Newcastle are indeed forced to offload some of their players, it’s hard to imagine Alexander Isak falling into our laps. With his obvious traits and clear finishing ability, as well as the option to swing out to left-wing, it’s easy to see the appeal. He’s got a nice touch. If I have a critique, it’s that he’s not quite as relentless as he could be given his talents — he could go over and over again, generating shot after shot, and the numbers would pile up.
This may be a bit controversial in the Arsenal community, and I won’t pretend to know all the interworkings of our previous links; there’s only so much we actually know. As a pure player, though, I never exited the Dušan Vlahović train. Talent doesn’t evaporate overnight, and it’s easy to see how a combination of interruptions, adjustments, and Allegri have conspired to dull his output. He still looks to me like he has the foundation of being a few different kinds of striker — both a back-to-goal player, a cold-blooded finisher, and a box dominator, depending on the need. His goals per 90 is now even with his Fiorentina days and he’s starting to look his best. I’d still be happy with a signing.
I think the world is still adjusting to what João Pedro is doing at Brighton. He’s got 20 G+A in 21.5 90s! Sure, that includes a lot of penalties (10!), but he’s generating a lot of them himself (and is brilliant at hitting them home). Is he the prototypical, box-dominant striker we may be seeking? Perhaps not — he shares a lot in common with Jesus. But the skill and production are hard to ignore, and he has a lot of nice touches and composure in tight spaces.
Joshua Zirkzee offers some of the top unicorn potential around. He’s been one of the more fun, interesting players to watch anywhere in the world this year because there is precisely one of him. He is huge (6’5”), inventive, quick, and ambitious. He has ideas, which is one of the highest compliments to pay a player. He excels at turning and carrying in the middle of the pitch. That said, his finishing feels fine, but a bit unexciting and straightforward — and so many of his special qualities seem to be out of the box. I just wonder if there’s too much overlap with Jesus.
Like Zirkzee, Victor Boniface has burst on the scene this year. And like Zirkzee (and Openda, and Osimhen…) he had spent some time in Belgium polishing his craft. He’s generating a lot of shots for the undefeated Leverkusen, and is one of the truly unpredictable strikers — you don’t know if he’s going to dribble you, rip a shot, or try some bizarre thing (that often seems to work). He was the starting striker on my “Turn on the Television XI” early in the year. I’d tracked him for a bit, and as much of a joy he is to watch, I worry about some bouncy touches and inconsistency in his overall game, and whether he can be an all-out presence in the high press.
[Here’s where Toney at €65m came in]
Boniface and Viktor Gyökeres are similar in that they show how much of this exercise is about targeting the right profile for Arsenal, not the best player overall. If I were a mid-table club, the budget and age constraints were different, and some other factors were weighted more heavily — there’s a good chance that these two are #1 and #2 on the list. Gyökeres is strong, complete, and direct — and raining in the goals. If your team places a priority on directness, carrying the team up the pitch, and running through the channels, Gyökeres would make for a stellar signing.
I’d watched Girona a normal amount this year, but dug into the game of Artem Dovbyk more for this piece. I was more impressed than I thought I’d be. He is listed as the top comparison for Haaland on fb-ref, and I understand why. While I knew he was big and decisive, he’s a bit quicker and more slippery than I previously understood. His touches can betray him, but when he gets his body over the ball, he’s capable of delivering smart passes at the top of the box as well. He does have the relentless quality — getting missed on five runs, and then making the sixth run just as hard. He cheats up. His age/value combo kind of cancel out.
Santiago Giménez may be lower than expected, considering his goal output. I’d also watched him a fair bit, and came to really appreciate his mindset during games. He does have the quality of going over, and over, and over again until a goal happens. I have some concerns about whether he’ll be able to impose himself athletically on Premier League centre-backs, especially in low-blocks. He’s another I’d have a different appraisal for a mid-table outfit.
I said we were targeting the highest of high-level profiles, and Karim Konaté fits the bill. It takes about five seconds of watching for him to pop off the screen. As a 19-year-old in Austria, he’s producing (14 G+A in 14.6 90s so far), but it’s still very early in his story.
Last I checked, Dominic Solanke leads the Premier League in total shots, which tells you a lot of what you need to know. Even more so, he’s putting a lot of goals in with his head, which helps the appeal if he were to make a big jump. My impulse would be to say that there are a lot of broad similarities to Nketiah in profile, so there’s no need to pull a swap, but perhaps Solanke proves me wrong.
You may not be expecting to see Omar Marmoush here, but he is firmly in the Zirkzee/Pedro false-9 tier for me. I love how he approaches the game, and he has some serious physical tools to bring to the table — he’s so fast, agile, tekky, and decisive. It’s ridiculous that Eintracht got him on a free, a year after getting Randal Kolo Muani on one.
At 26-years-old, 5′9”, and €110m, Lautaro Martínez does not seem like the profile we’d be looking for. A production machine for Inter, though.
Elye Wahi gave William Saliba more trouble than any other opponent this year, then has scored two goals in the entire Ligue 1 season. Football is fickle.
As a developmental prospect, Maximilian Beier may have caught my eye the most. He’s too thin for the full rigors of a Premier League season, and had a fallow streak for much of the year, but he’s tall, tireless, and looks like one of the fastest players in the Bundesliga to me. He also is capable of shots like this. One to watch.
I don’t have much to add for those who fall between 21-30.
There are several others I forgot or improperly ranked, as you’ll no doubt remind me.
Let’s start wrapping it up.
👋 Arsenal Players, Others, & Prospects
First, let’s cover our own, as I imagine there will be questions.
👉 Arsenal Players
As a reminder, this profile — BEAST — was weighted towards the new signing of an athletically dominant, tall (if possible), strong-finishing profile that is complementary to existing pieces. It did factor in a host of other metrics that accounted for overall play, so players could compensate with strong enough scores elsewhere. With that in mind: Gabriel Jesus (at 70m and 26-years-old) was in the 7-9 range, held back a little by his height, value, and pure npXG, but counterbalanced by his everything else. If this were a “best attacker” search, he’d be first or second, and if it were based on his actual fee last year (€52m), he’d be higher too. Next, Kai Havertz was in the group after, helped along by his height, aerial numbers, dueling, and age, but held back by his goals, value, and shot creation. Nketiah was right after Gyökeres and Giménez. They’ve racked up the stats.
👉 Others
EDIT: I went back to see how Anyowi narrowly missed this list. He had some weirdish data this year before an injury, and was 1st percentile in the final sample in shots/90 in the last 365. Also, Wyscout had him at 5'10”, the team lists him at 6'0”, and FIFA has 6'2". I trust FIFA — and we should remember to never fully trust height/weight data on players from anywhere, really. By my personal rank, he'd be #12-16 here.
Because of sample size limitations, some of the younger players had to be struck from the list. Let’s do some quick notes on a few other players that come to mind.
Part of this exercise was understanding that there are way, way too many strikers to talk about with any kind of general expertise. I hope you’ll forgive me. Here are some bullets on a few that come to mind.
If it takes my model to prove, so be it. Mbappé, Kane, and Haaland are good. They’d be an easy 1, 2, 3 … Mathys Tel was literally second on the list above. His underlying numbers are completely ridiculous. He’s averaging 4.8 shots and 1.07 goals per 90. He's 18. I pulled him because I can’t imagine Bayern letting him go … Kenan Yıldız would fit into the top-10 for me here. He’s still developing, and not a prototypical striker, but I have trouble seeing a world in which he’s not a star … George Ilenikhena is probably my top striker prospect, period. He’s developing in Belgium at Antwerp, which is the right place for him … Go watch a Nestory Irankunda comp and tell me football is dead. He’s got one of the most absurd goal-scoring catalogues around and he’s 17. He has a lot of steps to take to refine his talent but man, it’s something … Just to name-check, here are three other forward-ish players I have my eyes on otherwise: Kalimuendo, Ekitiké, and Junior Kroupi … Rodrigo Ribeiro seems to have it all as a Sporting CP prospect … Nelson Weiper has a lot of unique characteristics. I’d like to watch him some more … I kept waiting for Mohamed-Ali Cho to pop at La Real, but now he’s off to Nice. Hoping for the best for him, as he’s still only 20 … As a personal shout, I always wonder why Flaco Lopez doesn’t get more minutes at Palmeiras. He’s got height, burst, poaching ability, and a good record of goals.
There are plenty of others in my little notes document, but it’s time to move on.
🔥 Final thoughts
There are a lot of exciting potential signings to consider. At the risk of restating myself, Arsenal are actually sneaky-deep at the position and should operate from a position of strength. It is a difficult position to make certain upgrades.
In all actuality, I’d be targeting the very top names on this list — the unique profiles who can challenge for top-3-to-5 in the world in the years to come.
If that can’t happen, there’s a good chance I’d just roll with the crew as is, and point my attention at the winger market, looking for the next superlative talent there. I’d probably look to do that in any case, but a lot can happen in the months before the summer.
Remember how nice it felt to see an attacker at the level of Martinelli warming up to come on for the last 20 minutes against Palace? With one more signing, that feeling can become more permanent.
Until the summer, then, the team rolls on with a collection of frontline attackers who were awfully close to a title last year. If that campaign and the form in the Champions League are any indication, that should be enough to muster a charge in the meantime.
Above all, I’m just excited to watch Arsenal play some football again. It’s natural for us to look ahead at the transfer market. But the good stuff is found on the pitch.
Be good. ❤️
Great analysis as ever. This summer is going to be very interesting, but let’s enjoy what we’ve got this season they’re good enough to win big prizes imo.
Great read as always Billy. I am a little surprised Boniface didn’t come out higher to be honest. That Sesko release clause though...
