TA’s exclusive agent survey: Donnarumma is the best signing of the Premier League summer window, Sheshko is the worst

Hupu reported on October 13 that TheAthleticUK interviewed a number of well-known agents in the European industry to evaluate Xia Chuang’s Premier League transfer from an agent’s perspective.

What are the best deals this summer?

" Donnarumma. I also considered Jack Grealish. I know he's on loan and his wages are high, but you don't have to pay a transfer fee for such a strong player.

However, I think Donnarumma can really get Manchester City back on track in the title race. This season He will save points for them. So he is the best signing, especially considering the price they paid for him."

This answer covers the two most popular answers, with almost half of the agents undecided between new Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and the rejuvenated Grealish. Grealish joined Everton on loan from Manchester City for a season and has contributed 4 assists and 1 goal.

"Everton have signed a player that they would never have gotten under normal circumstances, and I think that also gives them the scope to sign Tyler Dieblin (signed from Southampton for an initial £35 million). Because of that, I think this deal is smart," another agent said when explaining why he chose Grealish.

The reason why Donnarumma received the highest number of votes is because he has Italian talent, age of 26 and a transfer fee of 25.9 million pounds.

"With all the money spent on other positions, I still think the goalkeeper is undervalued," one agent said. "I think Donnarumma is one of the best, if not the best goalkeeper in the world. So to sell him for a very low price just because PSG wanted to try a different style of play is very impressive."

"His footwork may not be the best. OK," another agent added, "but he's the best goalkeeper in the world and that's probably what City need."

Another player who received more than one vote was Viktor Dzhekeresh, a striker who both agents believe can give Arsenal "something they've been missing."

In addition, there are Eberechi Eze ("In this Arsenal team, he will perform well"), Harvey Simons ("If he performs well in the season, his value will be very considerable"), Joao Pedro ("Considering his age and other forwards" His worth is huge) and Alexander Isak ("He will change Liverpool's attack in the coming years and help replace Mohamed Salah")

What is the worst deal of the transfer window

Donaru? Horses came out on top in the previous question, which is directly related to some of the responses here.

After two seasons at Burnley, James Traford returned to Manchester City in July this year to replace Ederson, but he was demoted to the second goal after Donnarumma's transfer deadline. Three agents believe this is the worst deal of the transfer window.

"I think it was the wrong decision," said one of the agents, "Trafford could have played every week for Burnley or gone to Newcastle and played there every week. Yet here he is, sitting on the Manchester City bench with the best goalkeeper in the world in front of him. "

A deal that is bad for Trafford's career is also considered bad for Manchester City. "Spending £40 million on a goalkeeper to replace him in a few weeks' time? asked another agent.

Ultimately, however, it was Benjamin Sheshko's £73.6 million (plus add-ons) move from RB Leipzig to Manchester United that attracted the most criticism.

"Too much money, too fast" ," one agent said.

"They were pressured into signing this player," another agent said.

"Big money, but no qualifications," a third agent opined.

Other deals mentioned include Jamie Gee Tens moved from Borussia Dortmund to Chelsea ("This club is completely unsuitable for him"), Dango Ouattara moved from Bournemouth to Brentford ("It's a hell of a lot to spend £42m on a player who can't fill the gap of the player sold"), Visa Transfers from Brentford to Newcastle ("It's too expensive for a 29-year-old player and he's very low on the interest list"), and Dzheke Reich ("The Premier League is all about pace and sharpness, I'm not sure he's like that").
