Kepa to Arsenal, New Villa striker + another 4.0m defender?

After a little pause, the transfer market has triggered life this week.

The following is a movement signed and sealed on Tuesday, from the signing of the Sunderland clubs-who can complete the misery of the black cat’s penalty-FPL defender £ 4.0 million.

Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea to Armory5m)

The most expensive goalkeeper in the world is moving again – but this time only with £ 5 million.

While Arsenal publicity machines are generous to say Kepa Arrizabalaga will “fight with [David Raya] For the only goalkeeper “in North London, former Chelsea male has basically crossed the capital to play a replacement for his compatriot.

KEPA has fallen far from the young prospect that Chelsea signed a contract with £ 71 million in 2018 but there has been a career rebuilding in recent years.

The loan during the season at Bournemouth in 2024/25 was quite successful.

The Cherries recorded their best premier league defense record last season, while the numbers were solid and Raya-Esque.

*Minimum 10 appearances

The arrest of Arsenal’s kepa means that Bournemouth is now down three of the first elections last season again as Milos will come And Dean Huijsen has moved at a good cost.

Sebastiaan Bornauw (Wolfsburg to Leeds United, £ 5.1 million)

We have checked the name Bornauw in our part in the Leeds defense, because the arrest was close at the time.

A physical defender, without further ado, he followed the middle of the other ‘first defense’, Jaka BijolIn joining a newly promoted white person. Hopefully, this is a good sign for the prospects for the clean sheet of Leeds.

The average 4.11 air duel won per 90 minutes in 2024/25 placed it in the 99th percentile from his colleagues throughout Europe!

“I am strong. I like duel and I think it’s quite English. I think as a central defender, I am dangerous in front of goal, I like set piece, set piece offensive. So that’s what I think of my game, I will say.” – Sebastiaan Bornauw

The threat of set-piece certainly adds to its appeal, especially if he comes at a price of £ 4.0 million as expected. He was never enough to match the six-goal campaign in KOLN in 2019/20 but he had an average attempt every 98 minutes for Wolfsburg last season, which was very good for half the center (Gabriel Magalhaes‘The average in Arsenal is 103 minutes, for the context).

The problem is that he might be a backup, at least at first, with wise and Joe Rodon take control. One to supervise in pre-season.

Zepiqueno Redmond (Feyenoord to Aston Villa, free)

Who, you might ask?

In short, it is likely one for the future.

The 19 -year -old Dutch striker has joined Villa from Feyenoord for free, after the end of his contract.

Redmond only made four league performances in his young career, with rookies that were traced quickly to Feyenoord’s first team in November 2024 in the middle of the injury crisis at the top. The lack of other strikers in spring even made him start the UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan in February this year.

His two goals for the Dutch giant arrived in the victory of the Cup on MVV Maastricht in December.

He played all the front lines but recently starred in the left wing against England at the UEFA European U-19 Championship in June, scored two goals:

Jorgen Strand Larsen (Celta Vigo to Wolverhampton Wanderers23m)

One to be submitted below, “I think he has become a Wolves player”.

In the news to this author, Strand Larsen was actually only loaned in Molineux last year with an option to buy.

And bought it Wolves, following the debut premier league season where he scored 14 goals. None of them are penalties.

Top: Only five attackers scored more non-identification goals than Strand Larsen last season

Will be interesting to see if he really inherited spot spots now Matheus Cunha has gone. Norway only took three in his career, but at least had scored everything.

Habib Diarra (Strasbourg to Sunderland, £ 30 million)

The cost of transferring clubs is attractive but Possible Not a player who tends to prosecute many fantasy interests.

The arrest of Diarra is a coup for Sunderland, who has re -invested the money Jobe BellinghamSales to Borussia Dortmund.

AC Milan, Eintracht Frankfurt and Leeds seemed to chase the 21 -year -old Diarra, whose entire career had been spent on Strasbourg so far.

And, on the surface, this looks like a transfer designed to directly replace the Belllingham box-to-box.

Strong driving with the ball and progressive with his death, Diarra is likely to take the role of the All-action midfield that has been emptied by Belllingham.

This is not a true role -true to result in attack returns: Belllingham only registered four goals and three assists in the championship last season.

It is very similar to what was conveyed by Diarra in Strasbourg:

Diarra only shot average every 87 minutes last season. The level of opportunity created is identical. It is not a number that suggests he will be a great FPL asset.

Of course it all depends on the role. Diarra has scored four goals in his last four international appearances, so he was able to give, given the attack license.

And, what’s interesting, maybe even there are prospects for punishment, which will definitely increase its attractiveness.

Diarra took and scored both Strasbourg Ligue I Spot kicks in 2024/25. Sunderland, on the contrary, has a terrible record of 12 yard – they have missed their last four! If a new regular taker is needed, the diarra may go to the front of the queue.
