Fabrizio Romano has written exclusively for CaughtOffside about his pick of the three best signings we’ve seen in the January transfer window so far.
The transfer news expert will undoubtedly be busy today as the updates continue to come in from all around Europe, so there’s surely still time for one of the finest deals of the window to go through in the next few hours.
For the time being, though, Romano has named Mykhaylo Mudryk, Joao Cancelo and Hamed Traore as his top three most exciting deals of this January so far.
Mudryk established himself as one of the finest young players in Europe during his time at Shakhtar Donetsk, and Chelsea ended up pipping Arsenal to his signature in a big-money move.
It’s been a very busy January for Chelsea as other exciting talents like Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix and Andrey Santos have also come in, while there’s also an agreement in place for Malo Gusto to join in the summer.
Mudryk, however, is clearly one of the stand-out additions to Graham Potter’s squad, with the young Ukraine international potentially looking like he could finally be the club’s long-term successor to Eden Hazard.
Writing in today’s Daily Briefing, Romano said: “My top 3 signings of the window so far: Joao Cancelo to Bayern, fantastic player in the perfect environment; Mykhaylo Mudryk to Chelsea, I consider him a top talent for present and future; I really like also Hamed Traore to Bournemouth, very good talent in my opinion.”
