SOUTHAMPTON
WEST HAM
THEY need to get the likes of Felipe Anderson (below) out of the club.
From the moment he arrived he carried himself like someone who was doing them a favour and was too good to be there.
West Ham can’t afford the likes of him. Declan Rice is obviously important but
I’ve also been really impressed by Tomas Soucek and they could push for the Europa League because the spine of their team is strong. Manager: David Moyes
Major arrivals: Tomas Soucek
(Slavia Prague, £15m).
Major departures: Jordan Hugill, (Norwich City, £5m) Albian Ajeti,
(Celtic, £4.5m) Grady Diangana (West
Ham, undiscl.). Title odds: 500-1
What they need: Brentford’s flying wing-back Rico Henry is definitely on David Moyes’ radar as is Bees hitman Ollie Watkins. Trouble is, quite a few others want the Championship pair, so a fight for the duo is on.
THEY hit the jackpot with Danny Ings (below) finding such great form last season.
You would be thinking for a team like Southampton if one of their strikers can get 10-15 goals that would be the target. So for him to get 25 was exceptional.
The challenge is for him to try and keep that up. The work Ralph Hasenhuttl is doing around the club is just as impressive as what he’s trying to do on the pitch.
Manager: Ralph Hasenhuttl
Major arrivals: Mohammed
Salisu, (Valladolid, £11m) Kyle Walker-Peters (Tottenham, £12m). Pierre-Emile
Hojbjerg, (Spurs, £12m) Cedric
Soares (Arsenal, undiscl.).
Title odds: 500-1
What they need: Ralph Hasenhuttl is back in the race for Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham – and is also considering a £5m swoop for the Hoops’ Norwegian defender Kristoffer Ajer.
I love Nuno Espirito Santo. I absolutely love him. For me, he is a Manchester City manager in waiting.
The work he has done at
Wolves is sensational and there is nno doubt he can go on to much bigger big things.
As A a coach, wow, he is special.
He saved Adama Traore (right) from fr the scrap heap and saw what hat w was in him when others couldn’t get it out. Manager: M Nuno Espirito Santo
Major M arrivals: None
Ma Major departures: Matt Doherty, (Spurs, £15m) HelHelder Costa, (Leeds, £16m)
MoMorgan Gibbs-White (Swansea City, loan).
What they need: Arsenal’s versatile Ainsley Maitland-Niles is in the sights of Nuno Espirito Santos. But his surprise England call-up has put talks over a £22m switch on hold…for now at least.
