Chelsea Are Keeping A Keen Eye On This Manchester United Winger: Good Option For Maresca?
Garnacho's Impressive Form In English Football
Garnacho had a decent campaign at Old Trafford recently but struggled to find consistency at times for Man United in the final third. The 21-year-old found the back of the net 11 times and earned ten assists in 58 matches for the Red Devils last season in multiple competitions.
The Argentine talent was a real menace in the opponent's half as he averaged 3.44 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 34.5% of his attempts on target. Garnacho was tidy when interchanging possession with his teammates in the final third after completing 78.9% of his attempted passes in the English top flight (stats via fbref.com).
Garnacho's current contract at the Mancunian club will run out in the summer of 2028. Therefore, it won't be easy for Chelsea to get a deal done for him this off-season.

Is Garnacho A Good Option For Chelsea Boss Enzo Maresca?
Garnacho is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few dangerous runs with it in the final third. He can shoot the ball with venom from long range and has got the eye to play some killer passes in the opponent's half.
The Argentina international is primarily a left-sided wide player but can also perform as a right-winger or as a centre-forward if required. He is already quite familiar with Premier League football and won't take any time to adjust to life at Chelsea.
Garnacho would add more pace and goals to Enzo Maresca's frontline. He is good enough to serve as a useful rotational piece in the West London club's match-day squad.
At 21, Garnacho has the potential to be a future star in the Premier League. Therefore, it makes sense for the Blues to get him on board this summer. He has what it takes to help Chelsea compete across all fronts over the next decade which makes him a decent option for the London giants to consider this off-season.

Viktor Gyokeres ruthlessly mocked after nightmare Arsenal debut
Former Manchester United target, Viktor Gyokeres, endured a debut to forget for his new side Arsenal. Gyokeres chase The Red Devils were very keen on bringing in the Swedish striker this summer as he used to work with United manager Ruben Amorim at Sporting CP. Moreover, he was in lethal form last season, bagging 54 goals in all competitions. It has also been reported that the player heavily favoured a move to Arsenal over a reunion with Amorim, which supporters of the Gunners have naturally lapped up. Debut from hell Nonetheless, it was supporters of other teams that drew the first laugh as the Sweden international contributed virtually nothing in a 0-1 pre-season defeat to fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur. In 14 minutes of action, he managed 0 shots on goal and 0 dribble attempts. He could also only manage two passes in the entire time he was on the field, failing to connect with his teammates in any meaningful way. The striker also didn't manage to get involved in any ground or aerial duels as he caused the Spurs' defence little to no problem during his brief stint on the pitch. Social media joy Football fandom is full of banter, especially in the social media age and it was awash with memes and mockery. X account Hater Central mocked his performance by stating, he must be 100% constipated after a line of 0s in his real statistics. Footy Humour also posted on X, 'welcome to the 001 club' mocking his lack of goals and Arsenal's inability to win trophies in recent years. Another X account, Troll Football, also mockingly compared Gyokeres' effort to United's Rasmus Hojlund. They posted 'Gyokeres against a team that was battling relegation last season' and 'Hojlund against a team that was battling for Europe last season.' New striker pursuit After missing out on Gyokeres, United have turned their attention to Benjamin Sesko and it has been reported that the club are prepared to make an official move for the striker. As fate would have it, United will face Gyokeres at Old Trafford on Sunday 17th August on the opening day of the season. Supporters will hope he has a similar impact on the game as he did on his debut. Featured image Gualter Fatia via Getty Images online polls Follow us on Bluesky: @

📲 Colombo, Baywatch, Interstellar: July's top football news 😂
We've reached August and the market has already offered important and unexpected moves, some of which were accompanied by... particular announcements. Let's take a look at the posts from some clubs that entertained social media or hyped up their fans. Watch all of Napoli's friendlies LIVE on OneFootball! Click here from the app to purchase Napoli-Stade Brestois 29. Buchanan - Baywatch Villarreal announced the signing of Tajon Buchanan in Baywatch style, a famous TV show from the 80s. The hook is in the name of one of its characters: Mitch Buchannon. Burnley - "Guess who's back", TOP 5 and Walker Recently, Burnley announced the renewal of Esteve with the TOP 5 of the most important moments in recent history: after some truly memorable events (such as the announcement of the first iPhone), the club put the player's contract signing at number 1. Burnley previously announced the return of Jacob Bruun Larsen in a comic book style, using the song "Guess who's back, back again?" And at the beginning of July, the arrival of Kyle Walker was anticipated by a video that was both kitsch and nostalgic, recreating the video of the 1983 song "Hello", using the phrase "Hello, is it me you're looking for?" and transforming it into "Hello, is this the reveal you're looking for?" Genoa - Ostigard and Champagne + Colombo (Cristoforo and Tenente) Genoa always stands out on social media, and the announcements of Ostigard and Colombo were no exception. The defender was paired with the phrase "Oysters and champagne" from the song "Settimana Bianca" by Pagante. Lorenzo Colombo's face was replaced with that of Cristoforo Colombo within a painting. The player's face also took the place of that of Tenente Colombo, a famous character from an Italian TV series. Palermo - the friendly match against Manchester City Palermo posted a hint in mid-July: "A sailboat is ready to arrive in Palermo", referring to the symbol of Manchester City that would arrive in the city. The friendly match was confirmed at the end of the month with the claim "Nordic warriors": the Finnish Pohjanpalo and the Norwegian Haaland. Juventus - The frozen jersey for J. David Juventus took advantage of Jonathan David's nickname "Iceman" on several occasions. Notably, the club gave the player a frozen jersey to introduce the explanation of his nickname. Galatasaray - Osimhen and "limunat" As a teaser for Osimhen's official announcement, Galatasaray posted a video with the player's iconic mask accompanied by a particular audio: the Neapolitan version of the song "ERA - Ameno", created in 2021 and gone viral on social media. Mbeumo - farewell in Interstellar style In this case, it was Mbeumo himself who bid farewell to Brentford with a video posted on social media along with the club: a review of the best moments with Brentford in Interstellar style, complete with acting by the striker.
