🔹 Villa’s Domino

Watkins sale = Jackson arrival.

Chelsea could then chase new strikers.

One decision, four clubs reshaped. #Transfers

🔹 Man Utd’s Backup

If Šeško says no, Ollie Watkins becomes top target.

#AVFC may sell Watkins to fund Nicolas Jackson.

🔹 Liverpool’s Leverage

Isak to #LFC talks gain momentum if Šeško joins Newcastle.

Otherwise, Liverpool may pivot to Rodrygo (£70m), pushing Darwin Núñez to AC Milan.

🚨 BENJAMIN ŠEŠKO’S TRANSFER DECISION: THE RIPPLE EFFECT 🚨 [@ChronicleLive]

#NUFC & #MUFC await Šeško’s call, but the fallout goes WAY beyond them:

🔹 Newcastle’s Plan

Landing Šeško softens Isak exit blow.

Could cool interest in Brentford’s Wissa (Bees want big fee).

⚽️ New target: Gonçalo Ramos (PSG) — 10 goals, 3 assists last season. PSG want him to stay, so Newcastle would need a big bid to make it happen.

🏆 If Ramos joins, he’d bring proven firepower from Benfica & PSG to St James’s Park.

🔄 Amorim says Mbeumo must get up to speed ahead of the new season and learn his role fully.
✅ Amorim also hinted he’s happy with his squad, even with links to Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig). Outgoings like Antony & Sancho are still possible.

🗣️ Ruben Amorim:

“He played well. He needs to understand the position, the movements… [His] first touch, the way you connect with one touch, open[ing] a lot of space.”
“He’s not in perfect condition physically but he makes a lot of runs that can stretch a team.”

💷 The £71m signing from Brentford played the first 45 mins alongside Bruno & Cunha, covering all across the front three and took some free-kicks.

⚽️ Mbeumo set up Utd’s opener with a first-time pass to Amad, who won the penalty. He nearly scored himself but had two shots blocked.
