Ticketgum.com can reveal that football fans are the most excited about Arsenal’s transfer activity, with just under 3 million global monthly searches. With Arsenal boss Arteta confident in securing Declan Rice, this team could benefit from a £100 million valued midfielder in the future.
Chelsea comes in second place, with fans collating an average of nearly 1.5 million monthly searches. Chelsea has suffered one of the most disastrous seasons, with two manager firings and thirteen losses, meaning Blues fans will be looking for positive changes this summer.
Manchester United is not far behind in third, with just over 1.3 million combined monthly searches. Harry Kane’s rumoured talks with Manchester United dominate the news, which could also be a reason for Tottenham Hotspur securing a place in the top five (254,800 average monthly searches) with fans keeping an eye on their striker.
Liverpool places fourth, with 880,700 combined monthly searches. After the disappointing news that Liverpool will no longer be signing Jude Bellingham, fans may be tracking midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who is rumoured to be their next target.
Top five most anticipated PL player transfer rumours
Rank | Player | Number of global news articles (01/03/23 – 02/05/23) | Rumoured to move to |
1 | Harry Kane | 1,963 | Manchester United |
2 | Declan Rice | 889 | Arsenal |
3 | Mason Mount | 862 | Arsenal |
4 | Moises Caicedo | 260 | Arsenal |
5 | Neymar | 187 | Manchester United |
Harry Kane is in first place, as the most talked about potential transfer, with 1,963 articles written in the past two months; fans are excited to hear where the striker will go next.
In second place is Declan Rice, who has accumulated 889 articles; fans are anxious to find out if Arsenal will seal the deal on the popular West Ham player amid attention from other top-tier clubs.
But TicketGum’s football expert Efi Ifraimov doesn’t think Spurs will be able to convince Kane to stay:
“Tottenham will not be able to keep Harry Kane; players are looking for titles and personal success, and Tottenham won’t grant him this at their current performance level. For example, Luka Modric and Gareth Bale gained no titles in Tottenham, but since their move, they have amassed 22 titles, which is rare in the Champions League.”
