Atlético targeting Joao Gomes and Everton pursuing Youssef En-Nesyri could shift transfer and betting markets: back Atlético to sign Joao Gomes, and consider En-Nesyri to join Everton. En-Nesyri at Everton would boost their goals — look at Everton +0.5 or En-Nesyri anytime scorer markets.
Transfer Roundup: Key Moves, Targets and Betting Implications
Atletico Madrid eye Joao Gomes
Atletico have identified Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes, 24, as a prime midfield recruit after moving on from a recent midfield sale. Gomes’ energy and ball-winning skills fit Atletico’s profile, and a move would reshape their central options ahead of the new season. For bettors, the club’s clear need makes Atletico a sensible back to complete the signing in early market bets.
Everton and Nottingham Forest battle for Youssef En-Nesyri
Everton have lodged a formal bid for Morocco striker Youssef En-Nesyri, with talks structured around an initial loan and an option to buy. Nottingham Forest are also keeping tabs, but indications suggest the striker prefers Everton. If En-Nesyri joins the Toffees, Everton’s attacking depth improves significantly; punters should monitor En-Nesyri anytime-scorer lines and Everton’s goal lines for enhanced value.
Callum Wilson and forward options for Everton
Everton are exploring multiple striker options, with Callum Wilson among the names linked as he negotiates a way out of his current contract. A Wilson arrival would offer Premier League-proven finishing, affecting odds for Everton to score and their outright season goals total.
Right-back and defensive targets
Several clubs are monitoring opportunities in the right-back market, including a Ukraine international whose contract expires in the summer. Free-transfer candidates and expiring deals will be key areas for clubs looking to reinforce without heavy fees.
West Ham and Lucas Paqueta
West Ham will internally reassess their valuation for Lucas Paqueta amid interest from Brazil. A reduced asking price would increase the likelihood of a departure, altering West Ham’s midfield prospects and influencing early-season betting lines on their creativity and goal contributions.
Tottenham close on Brazilian left-back
Tottenham are finalising a deal for a 19-year-old Brazilian left-back, who is expected to travel for medical checks. The signing would add youthful competition at left-back and could influence Spurs’ defensive depth betting markets, such as under/over goals conceded.
Brentford and Matteo Cancellieri
Brentford are reported to be nearing a deal for Lazio attacker Matteo Cancellieri, 23, to bolster their forward options. A Cancellieri signing would add tactical flexibility and could impact Brentford’s attacking bets, including player goal markets.
Crystal Palace and Sidiki Cherif
Crystal Palace are in talks for Angers forward Sidiki Cherif, 19, an adaptable attacker who can play centrally or wide. Palace’s interest signals a strategy to invest in young talent and could affect Palace’s future attacking depth projections.
Roma to sign Donyell Malen on loan
Roma have agreed a loan with an option to buy for Donyell Malen that includes a sizeable purchase clause. The move provides Roma with a direct attacking threat and makes Malen a player to watch on anytime-scorer and goal involvement markets in Serie A.
Bournemouth brace for transfer interest in Alex Scott
Bournemouth face potential bids for young midfielder Alex Scott, with several top Premier League clubs monitoring him. Interest from major clubs could materialise into offers, which would not only test Bournemouth’s retention plans but also shape their midfield bets for the season.
Marshall Munetsi loan and other mid-window moves
Wolves’ Marshall Munetsi is poised for a loan move abroad, providing him with regular minutes and Wolves with squad flexibility. Expect further loan activity as clubs balance playing time with roster management ahead of the transfer deadline.
What This Means for Punters
Early market moves are likely around confirmed targets: back Atletico to complete a midfield signing, and consider Everton as favorites to land En-Nesyri. New arrivals at Everton or Roma will shift attacking markets quickly — focus on anytime-scorer, goalscorer combinations, and team goal lines as transfer news becomes official. Always wait for medicals and paperwork to be completed before placing large wagers.
