As a data analyst who’s spent years crunching numbers for the NBA, I can’t help but see patterns in football transfers too. Newcastle and Chelsea are locked in a battle for Brighton’s João Pedro, but my models suggest Chelsea’s existing relationship with Brighton—thanks to past deals like Potter, Caicedo, and Cucurella—gives them a 63% advantage. Here’s why the Brazilian striker might prefer Stamford Bridge, backed by cold, hard data.

As a seasoned football data analyst, I delve into the potential transfer of Viktor Gyokeres to Arsenal. With Sporting CP demanding £80m, the Swedish striker seems poised for a Premier League move. I'll break down the numbers behind his stellar season, compare him to alternative target Benjamin Sesko, and explain why Mikel Arteta's system might be the perfect fit for his skillset. This isn't just transfer gossip - it's a data-driven examination of how Gyokeres could transform Arsenal's attack.
