Torres deal sets winger market for Chukwueze

As Villarreal look to fund transfer moves, will they sell the Nigerian winger?

By Zhhicks Jul 29, 2020, 6:40pm CEST

Ferran Torres of Valencia is on his way to Manchester City for a tiny sum of 25m plus add ons, according to a report from Marca. This is relevant to Villarreal because an often speculated method of paying for needed reinforcements this summer has been to sell a young valuable asset, and the club only really has two of them, ‘Pou and Chukueche’ to quote our new manager.


With CB being one of the areas that already needs reinforcement, and a crowded selection of wide players and forwards who can step out wide, Chukwueze becomes the more likely of the two to move on.

It is of course possible that we spend 25m on Zambo and just find budget options to address CB and CDM, but I really don’t think that is the club’s best option. The problem is that the transfer market is like any other financial market out there, it’s about supply and demand. Ferran Torres and Samu Chukwueze are right wingers with similarly bright futures, and if one of the richest clubs in the world is only paying 25m for Ferran it really sets the market for our player as well.


In terms of shot creating actions, which include drawing fouls that lead to shots, passes that lead to a created chance, key passes, and dribbles, Chukwueze is far superior to Torres. He also covers more progressive distance, which is a fancy way of saying when he has the ball he is driving toward the opponent’s goal really effectively.

Four goals, five assists (Ferran) vs three goals two assists (Samu) is fairly inconsequential when the xG numbers are the same. Over the course of a decade players with that similar a non-penalty xG and xA are going to end up contributing to about the same number of goals. The two men go about their business a bit different but the results are largely the same. Which brings us back to our problem.


One of the big players in the winger market has now bought their man. Because City also sold Leroy Sane to Bayern, they are out of the winger market as well. Chelsea has a whole bevy of young attackers on the roster and more attackers coming in, and Real Madrid has more wingers than they can shake a stick at. What’s the market for Samu right now? Who would come in and pay more than 25m for him in this current market?

Villarreal aren’t under pressure to sell from the player’s contract situation, but I just don’t see many teams with the resources and the need to come in and buy him. If selling Samu is the plan for financing other roster moves, I think we may be a little bit stuck.

He is the top scorer there

Let’s talk about tapnaldo MR new challenge that found him self under the shadow of Quagliarella and immobile

Osimhen is the next in line Ronaldo will be under his shadow

Simy finished as Serie B's Capocannoniere

Capocannoniere is a the name given to the top scorers in Italy's professional divisions (Serie A, Serie B, Serie C...)

He finished stand-alone as the Top marksman with 20 goals and 4 assists and became the first African in Italian football history to top the scorers' chart at any level of Italian professional league football.

He will feature in the 2020/21 Serie A season after gaining promotion.

Chukwueze is highly rated in Spain. He is more rated there than in nairaland.

Make una stop all dis talk

@bolded... Very important pointer that most miss. This is one of the stats that the graphical stats representation I dropped here by @HeesKeemen showed. That Chukwueze is indeed one of the best and most superior productive and creative U-23 wingers in Europe using his dribbling and being fouled in dangerous areas to create shots-creating actions, chances and shots on goal.

And also, I noticed that some stats sites didn't count his assists well. He had 2 assists home and away vs Real Sociedad, 1 assist against Real Betis, 1 assist vs Real Mallorca and 1 assist vs Real Valladolid in la liga alone.

That's actually Chukwueze bagging 5 assists in addition to his three goals.

This game below was friendly match 2 of the day between Genk and Lens with different First XIs.

The first match ended 1-1 with Cyriel Dessers bagging a goal from the penalty spot. I think that was his third preseason goal for Genk.

arsenal champion league

Victor Osimhen turned down Liverpool and Manchester United to sign for Napoli yesterday, it has been revealed.

Former Lille striker Osimhen was unveiled as a Napoli yesterday following a £45million deal which has rumbled on for weeks. Four players from Napoli are also moving to France in exchange.

L'Equipe says Osimhen held conversations with both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Jurgen Klopp.

Manchester United manager Solskjaer is on the lookout for a new forward and was keen to talk with the forward.

Osimhen changed his agent shortly after finding an initial agreement with Napoli.

It was something that nearly put the deal in jeopardy with his new agent keen to seal his client a move to the Premier League.

That's where he contacted Manchester United and Liverpool's Klopp but ultimately Osimhen was set on joining Napoli.

Sorry Dennis puis wins the cup
