June 5th 2024.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Premier League teams Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United have their sights set on potential international players from the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament. With the season just ending, these clubs are eager to strengthen their squads and improve their chances for the 2024-25 season.
For Arsenal, their main goal is to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title, and they know they will need to add some firepower to their team if they want to close the gap. Meanwhile, United is undergoing a rebuilding process under minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has taken over football operations. And Chelsea, with their new head coach Enzo Maresca, will also be making some changes as they look to implement their philosophy.
But before the domestic action resumes, all eyes will be on the European Football Championships, set to start in Germany on June 14. And with the transfer window opening soon after, these clubs will be keeping a close eye on the performances of potential targets.
Arsenal is currently leading the race for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who is expected to play a major role for Slovenia. The Gunners are also considering a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, who is part of Gareth Southgate's England squad. While they have cooled their interest in Brentford striker Ivan Toney, they will still be keeping an eye on him in case things change.
Another player attracting interest from Arsenal is Wolves star Pedro Neto, who will be playing for Portugal at Euro 2024. The Gunners have also made an approach for Girona's Viktor Tsyhankov, who will be representing Ukraine at the tournament. And they are also competing with Manchester United and Chelsea for the signature of Everton and Belgium midfielder Amadou Onana.
Manchester United, on the other hand, have their sights set on a number of players, including Netherlands star Jeremie Frimpong, who was a key player in Bayer Leverkusen's Invincible season. They have also been linked to Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, although it's uncertain if he will make the final 26-man squad for England. United is also interested in Sporting Lisbon's Goncalo Inacio, who will be playing for Portugal at Euro 2024. And they will be competing with Chelsea for the signature of AFC Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, who will be representing Hungary at the tournament.
As for Chelsea, their new head coach Enzo Maresca has his sights set on a new striker, center-back, and goalkeeper, as well as a left-back. Reports suggest that England's No.1 goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is a top transfer target for the Blues. They have also been linked to Spain's Nico Williams, who could be a key creator for his nation at Euro 2024.
But the competition for players is fierce, with both Arsenal and Chelsea interested in Ukrainian players Artem Dovbyk and Georgiy Sudakov. And while Arsenal may currently be ahead in the race for Benjamin Sesko, Chelsea is hoping to convince him that Stamford Bridge would be a better option. They are also keeping an eye on Belgium's Amadou Onana and Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez.
With the transfer window just around the corner and the Euro 2024 tournament set to showcase some of the best international talent, these Premier League clubs will need to act quickly and strategically to secure their desired players. Fans will be eagerly watching as these teams make moves to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season.
