5 major transfers that could still happen this summer
The closing date of the summer transfer window is knocking on the doors of clubs who are looking to fill the gaps in their squad. Since there is no other opportunity for clubs to strengthen their ranks until January, they will be looking to complete their signings as soon as possible.
This transfer season has been historic, with LaLiga clubs spending over €1 billion, and Premier League clubs spending over €500 million in the market. However, with a few days left until the transfer deadline, this number will certainly increase over time as clubs will try to make last-minute signings to improve their squads.
With the likes of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid still being in the market, here is a list of five big-money signings that could still happen before the summer transfer deadline.
#5 Christian Eriksen (Tottenham to Manchester United)
A crafty midfielder who also scores on occasions, Christian Eriksen is a vital asset to Tottenham's midfield, and one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, with his flashy dribbling, defense-splitting passes, accurate crosses, and deadly shots. Eriksen, who is also known as "The Golden Boy of Denmark", scored 10 goals in all competitions last season. He also provided 17 assists, the most by any Tottenham player.
However, he is entering the final year of his contract this season, and as such, his future is uncertain. And it is believed that Manchester United could make a late move for Eriksen, with the Premier League deadline day being on Thursday.
Despite the massive fee that would come with the transfer, this would be good business for the Red Devils, who are looking to strengthen their midfield this transfer window, and with Paul Pogba being rumored to leave for Real Madrid or Juventus, Eriksen would be a very solid addition to their midfield.
