Arsenal honors Nicolas Jover with a statue while Chelsea eyes a Villa striker for the upcoming season and beyond
London: It’s been quite a year in football, and as we look ahead, there’s a lot to chat about. Arsenal has really made a name for themselves with set-pieces, but they still can’t quite get past Man City. Chelsea, on the other hand, has had another managerial shake-up and is buying players left and right. They’re surprisingly in the mix for the Premier League title, while Tottenham is struggling down in the bottom half.
So, what’s in store for 2025? Let’s dive into some predictions. First up, Nicolas Jover. He’s got a mural outside the Emirates, which is pretty cool for a set-piece coach. There’s talk of a statue next to Wenger’s or maybe just a new contract. Arteta wants to keep him around because he’s made Arsenal a real threat during set-pieces.
Now, about Chelsea. They’re looking to sign an Aston Villa striker. With Nkunku possibly leaving, they might be on the hunt for a new No. 9. But with Jackson’s current form, they might just want some competition instead of a complete overhaul.
And let’s not forget about Archie Gray from Tottenham. He’s been stepping up as a center-back and is definitely one to watch. If England’s new coach is looking for fresh talent, Gray should be on the list for 2025.
Lastly, West Ham is having a rough time. Their manager might not last much longer if things don’t turn around. They’re likely to finish in the bottom half, but Niclas Fullkrug could be a bright spot for them. It’s going to be an interesting year ahead!
