Victor Froholdt has been linked with a move away from Porto at the end of the season. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2026/05/16/victor-froholdt-liverpool-arsenal-transfer/ Liverpool and Arsenal are reported to be interested in the 20-year-old playmaker. He has had an impressive season with the Portuguese club, registering 15 goal contributions across all competitions. He could prove to be an interesting long-term acquisition for Liverpool and Arsenal. They could use more creativity and technical ability in the midfield, and the 20-year-old would be a superb option to have. The player was recently asked about a potential move to the Premier League, and he has revealed that he wants to compete in the UEFA Champions League with Porto, and he plans to stay with the club beyond this season. The development will come as a huge boost for the Portuguese club, and they will hope to keep him beyond the season. He is an important player for them, and they will not want to lose him easily. Meanwhile, Liverpool and Arsenal need more cutting-edge, and should look to move on to the target. If a deal for the 20-year-old cannot be done. Even though Liverpool invested a substantial sum in Florian Wirtz, he has not lived up to expectations, and the team needs more creativity. At Arsenal, Martin Odegaard has not been at his best this season. Froholdt could have been a handy option for both clubs. Liga Portugal: Victor Froholdt wins Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards https://www.flashscoreusa.com/news/soccer-liga-portugal-liga-portugal-victor-froholdt-wins-player-of-the-year-and-young-player-of-the-year-awards/0j7X7Ajg/ Victor Froholdt's debut season in Portuguese football ended perfectly. After becoming national champion with FC Porto, the 20-year-old Danish midfielder was the big winner at the Liga Portugal annual awards, taking home a historic double: Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year. The awards were decided exclusively by votes from coaches and captains of the top division and were handed out this Saturday, right after the final whistle of the Porto victory over Santa Clara at the Dragão. The undisputed engine of the champions Signed in the summer 2025 transfer window, the number 8 immediately established himself as the most indispensable piece in Francesco Farioli's tactical setup. Showing remarkable consistency, Froholdt featured in all 34 league matches (starting 31 of them), becoming the FC Porto outfield player with the most minutes played in the competition (2,875). In the race for the top Player of the Year award, the Danish international received 43% of the votes, comfortably beating Sporting's duo of Luis Suárez (29.5%) and Francisco Trincão (15%). Absolute dominance among the under-21s The young Nordic's impact was even more overwhelming in the Young Player of the Year category, where he claimed an impressive 49.5% of the votes. The podium in this category was completed by Benfica's Andreas Schjelderup, who finished second with 24.5%, and Gustavo Sá, Famalicão's creative midfielder, who rounded up the top three with 15.5% of the votes. At just 20 years old and after a stunning debut season, Froholdt has written his name into the golden gallery of Portuguese football, capping off a memorable year for the azul e branco universe.

Eli Junior Kroupi has been linked with a move away from Bournemouth at the end of the season. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2026/05/16/liverpool-eli-junior-kroupi-transfer/ The French attacker has been outstanding for the Cherries since joining the club, and he has 12 goals in the Premier League so far. The 19-year-old is a young player with a bright future, and he could develop into a star with the right guidance. He has been linked with multiple clubs in recent weeks. According to a report from Spanish publication SPORT, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea are all keeping tabs on him. However, Tiago Pinto, the chief executive of the English club, has now revealed that the player will not be leaving the club in the summer. He has a long-term contract with them, and there is no release clause in his deal. He added that the player will not be sold, even if Liverpool offers €100 million for him. Liverpool could use more quality in the final third, and a dynamic attacker like Kroupi would have been ideal for them. He can operate as a centre forward as well as on the flanks. He would have added goals and technical ability in the final third. He has the attributes to develop into a star with the right guidance. It is fair to assume that he will eventually end up at a top club. It is highly unlikely that the Cherries will sanction his departure this summer, and any club hoping to sign him will have to wait for now. Arsenal and Manchester United have also been linked with Kroupi.

Shouldn't we in theory be able to spend more freely since we might not be tied to Europe this season? I read somewhere were sitting very good in England fair play because they sold those hotels.

Get rid of both of these fuckers.

Mbappe?

👌🗯🔵"I am expecting Liam Delap to leave Chelsea this summer, with a more established striker coming in" "I am not convinced Wesley Fofana has a long term future at Chelsea" (@alex_crook)

That’s assuming we have the money to back alonso, we have to sell big time and who the fuck wants half these muppets?

Well, if that's the case he should play Boehly's favorite 443

This admission of guilt from the board, what happened with LR, the summer transfer window, etc. The fact that they’re even accepting a move from head coach to manager says a lot about how Chelsea is completely out of control and how badly we’re screwed. The protests should continue.

Exactly, we have fan content creators like Younes and Johnny Minerals to thank for piling on the pressure with exposing the utter shambolic running of the club by BlueCo. Hiring Alonso and briefing that they will give him more power in signings and running of the club could be seen as their last chance to get this right. If we now have a shocking summer window and there are even the slightest signs of not following through with backing Alonso… the protests will intensify big time.

I think they only changed because of the protests and because of LR’s failure.

100% - was thinking the same - they would be dragging their heels if it was not for fan discontent. Their latest mantra is ''football is about learning''. To me theyve twigged its not enough just to buy a brand and milk it, it has to be nurtured as well

Fully agree. I'll go on to say that if it weren't for relentless fan discontent and the protest, these people wouldnt even contemplate changing their ways or going after a manager like Alonso (or Pochettino before him). We would still be stuck with Rosenior's, Potter's or Gary O'Neil. It will nearly impossible to move BlueCo out until theyve burnt up all the finances (in which case they will bail themselves out anyway), so the least that can happen from shitshow seasons is they wake up and at least move the needle a little. The fact that they've actually given him a managerial title, not just first team coach, speaks volumes to me.

Only at this club and with this board do we end up happy that our coach is being called a manager

I would take Lewis Hall as a replacement. Depending on which system you play, both are better in different areas imo. Lewis Hall is younger and has a higher ceiling too. It will not happen though as we don't have a buy back clause, I am sure and he will cost too much. He also wanted to leave to go to that part of England anyway.

I’m really keen on Mika Godts.. looks a superb talent. I really hope it’s true.

WHU are done, somebody will be grabbing Fernandes and Bowen and getting two very good players

I dont agree with this. We will not get a world class left back lol. if we sell cucul, LH is a great replacement

No thanks to Lewis Hall. Solid PL LB but not top class and a clear downgrade on Cucu. If we sell Cucu then Barco has to be his replacement. He can become that super versatile left sided fullback/midfielder hybrid we need.

Like I said, it’s right to be angry with how things have gone and be hostile towards our owners for getting us into this state. Other Chelsea content creators like Matisse and George Benson have said as much. But Younes takes even positive things and is quick to pour cold water on them. I get it, things are shit currently, but he acts like this club is completely irredeemable. Let’s just see how things play out this summer before being super nagative. I don’t think we have wingbacks of high enough quality either. Reece was of course once one of the best attacking fullback in the world but his body can’t withstand it for long. Cucu is excellent at bombing forward and getting involved in attacks but he is not nearly dangerous enough with final actions to be a wingback for me. Everyone in the media is just kind of assuming automatically that he’s going to play 3 at the back with wingbacks but I’m kind of hoping he doesn’t. I want to see us with proper wingers.

if we get hall, we can sell cucurella, tbh

In Leverkusen he played 3421. In Madrid 433. Wonder what's gonna happen here? Considering quality of our wingers maybe first option not bad.
