Introduction
Below is a list of transfer rumours for possible incoming transfers during the summer transfer window of 2024, along with some key pieces of information. ‘Liklihood’ is based on information at the time of last review, and brief reasoning is given for each rumour. But ultimately it’s purely subjective.
Possibly out-bound players are limited to those who have seen some first team minutes. The line for exclusion for the list is fuzzy right now (Patino is on it Biereth is not). But it might get changed as we go along. Confirmed out includes all confirmed players, including Academy players who have been released.
The aim is for this list to be updated every couple of days. Information will be pulled from the daily discussion threads, along with other sources.
Transfer reliability sources list is available here.
If you hear about a rumour, please post a link and brief summary in the latest daily discussion thread!

Players Out

Karl Hein
- Positions: Goalkeeper
- Likelihood: Likely (9/10) - currently our 3rd choice keeper and nowhere near close to getting first team minutes.

- Positions: Striker
- Likelihood: Possible (5/10) - highly regarded by Arteta, but might be available for the right price.
Jakub Kiwior

Reiss Nelson
- Positions: Right Wing

pssst. you spelt likelihood wrong :p
Might be good to add outgoings too!
Oh good catch on the typos! Fixed. Thanks.
Good idea on the potential outgoings too.
Walters is also leaving on a free cuz I guess he doesn’t see a pathway to the first team or smth. Not that I disagree but I would have liked to see us get more than just compensation.
No Mbappe then. I’m totally shocked and definitely 100% flabbergasted.
Haha, me too. I’ll remove him from the list on the next edit.
Original source on this article is the Evening Standard. I looked back at Transfermarkt, apparently we were also linked with him in January.
Thanks. Added.
Posted in DD but adding here too - some confirmed departures of some players including Okonkwo, and seems Hein, Walters and Cozier-Duberry might all be exiting too

How is Sesko’s injury record?
According to Transfermarkt:
Description From To Duration ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Torn muscle fiber Feb 6, 2022 Mar 7, 2022 29 days Thigh problems Nov 5, 2021 Nov 19, 2021 14 days Torn muscle fiber Oct 17, 2021 Nov 1, 2021 15 daysInterestingly, all of these occurred in the same season.
Interesting. Got to think that the second incident was related to the third. Maybe they tried rushing him back in before he was fully recovered. Hell, the first might have been related to the other two as well.
Not that it matters for us, Partey had a good record before coming and Declan missed a match for the first time with us lol
So I mean changing the head doc and a physio might bring about a positive change?
Just realised, should we have Raya on here technically lol. Also probably should say “Out” for the confirmed section.
Good points. Fixed (along with general updates).
Sesko’s staying at Leipzig apparently.
Damn. Okay, I’ll update very soon.
Latest in silly season…Lunin
Not possible, he wants to be #1 (and really should be)…unless we’re not keeping Raya which makes no sense.
Thanks. Added.
Tavares doesn’t even make the list lol. Fingers crossed someone wants him…
Ah yeah, I figure about him! And Lokonga too. I’ll add them. Cheers.
Apparently we’re targeting a Quilindschy Hartman from Feyenoord
Should we have tiers of reliability on sources?
Good idea. I’m not really sure how to rank those. I suppose I could just use the same rankings off of reddit.
Edit: Okay, I’ve added source tiers in and tried to link back to them for each potential incoming player. I’ll go back and do the potential outgoings later (I don’t consider those as big a priority.)
There’s a post in the sidebar which was stolen from reddit when we moved here, feel free to use that lol.
Perfect, cheers!
I initially came up with my own list, but this one is better.
I mean it’s just stolen XD I have no idea how to judge what should go in what tier lol
No Daily Mail 😂
Mokbel is alright tbf, but yeah
Is there any reason to believe Zinny might be on the way out other than that the fans are down on him?
Hato has been linked as a leftback, presumably someone has to go to make room I suppose.
Why is Mbappe on this list¿?
For added spice. Nah, but seriously it’s because his name keeps coming up as a transfer target for us in the media (even though we all know it’s not going to happen).
