Have you heard which teams?
The name I kept seeing was Stuttgart. Other times it was mentioned, it was a "host" of clubs from both Germany and Spain. Seems abroad is where most of the interest is coming from and it's not always been specified. Leipzig, Frankfurt and Stuttgart were all names I did happen to see but doesn't seem to be any concrete link, just names of interest.

Would suck to lose KTH but if Gabi is not going to played centrally you can understand him not seeing a way through into the team...Saka, Pepe, ESR, and Gabi ahead of him on the wings... :/

Not that will get much attention as fans are desperate for signings and getting rid of players, but that`s great news. Securing both Balagoun and Taylor Hart when it looked like we could lose both, is massive.
Yeah, huge coup from the club and IMO probably more important than the massive signings. Could be game changers.

Taylor-Hart especially has the potential to be the final chaos emerald for our attack that Nelson was supposed to be (and I'm reluctant to rule him out of the running but it's looking peak for the kid). We have put together a pretty good conveyor belt (with the likes of Hutchinson, Sagoe Jnr & Cozier-Duberry coming out of Hale End and the acquisition of Richards from Chelsea) to even back these guys up.

If we're smart with their development, we likely won't have to do any major recruitment drives, we can literally focus our funds on big breakout players or bonafide stars.

Also a word on Arthur Okonkwo. Very talented and highly rated. If Onana doesn't work out and we don't sign him, we should really be looking at trying to get him [Okonkwo] minutes. He's a very similar keeper in style and stature, might be worth developing him quickly.

Fantastic news. He'll probably need Gabi to move centrally long-term to make it here with Saka having the other wing locked down forever but great to see a big talent like him locked up.

I honestly doubt he'll ever break into the first team. Still, it's good to see Mikel and Edu are still great at seducing young talent!

Taylor-Hart is massive. Pining after Maddison and Aouar is fine, but Taylor-Hart has the potential to have a Saka like trajectory.

What excites me most is that he is intelligent enough to play in multiple positions at a young age. Its similar to ESR and Saka. Taylor-Hart has played on the flanks and as an 8.

Physically he has the potential to become very powerful.

Do you know how tall he is officially?

He has a size and physicality about him that could possibly be enticing as a CF/false 9 as well I think. It would be very much swapping with others and moving all over the pitch. Like Kane lately, but faster

His official height is listed as 5'10. He's a bit taller than that from looking at him in comparison to the other players. I'd say 6 foot is his actual height, he's a bit taller than Balogun who's 5'10.

He's an excellent athlete and one of the quickest players at the club - powerful runner so I do think that he has the chance to increase that power. I think he's more suited to wing-play personally and Arteta especially will like him from a positional POV but I definitely think he can do some good work in the middle.

It's a massive signing for me, these are the kinds of player we need to keep and do something with.
