Brighton & Hove Albion sold João Pedro to Chelsea for £60m and have sent Evan Ferguson to AS Roma on loan.
That leaves only Danny Welbeck as their primary striker.
While Welbeck is a well-established and consistent striker, he is also 34 years old.
Brighton have Greek striker Stefanos Tzimas coming back from a loan spell at 1. FC Nürnberg after spending £20.8m to acquire his services last season.
The Seagulls have stayed in Greece to find a replacement for João Pedro in 18-year-old Charalampos Kostoulas from Olympiacos.
They spent quite a bit of money to get him, £29.8m, to be exact, the highest fee ever paid to a Greek club.
According to Transfermarkt, he’s valued at £10.34m.
So what do Brighton see in him?
Olympiacos didn’t want to see one of the best Greek talents in a generation go so early.
Erythrolefkoi‘s sporting director, Darko Kovačević, called him a “marvel of nature” and wanted to keep him as long as possible.
Therefore, he wasn’t going to leave without a hefty fee being paid, which Brighton were happy to oblige because they knew they’d found one of the best young forwards in world football.
In this player analysis, we will examine Charalampos Kostoulas’ data profile and explain why he is the perfect replacement for João Pedro.
Following a successful treble-winning season, Paris Saint-Germain are in the market to make upgrades to their squad.
The UEFA Champions League winners, who already boast a world-class group of players, will aim to enhance depth and build for the long term.
From this perspective, the centre-back position is one of the most important.
The pairing of Marquinhos and Willian Pacho was a major contributor to Les Parisiens’ success.
This is a great window to bring in a young reinforcement, as Marquinhos can still play at the top level for a few more seasons.
This would be helpful as the Brazilian can help refine his successor to fill the hole that he will eventually leave behind.
Adhering to this, the French champions are keen on signing Illia Zabarnyi from AFC Bournemouth.
But is he the right man for the job?
Does he fit into the Luis Enrique style of play?
In this scout report and player analysis, we will examine how Illia Zabarnyi plays, compare him to Willian Pacho and Marquinhos, and determine if they complement each other through tactical and data analysis.
We will also determine if Zabarnyi will be a good fit to succeed Marquinhos in the long term.
