Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>According to FIFA, football clubs spent a record $9.76 billion on signing new players this summer! Among the most notable deals were many transfers involving players from Africa. Visitors to the best sports betting site 1xBet witnessed several high-profile transfers.<\/b>
\nVictor Osimhen<\/b><\/p>\n

The Nigerian striker has officially moved from Napoli to Galatasaray for a Turkish football record \u20ac75 million. Osimhen already spent the 2024-25 season in Turkey on loan and had a great run, scoring 37 goals in all competitions. The forward is known for his speed and ability to finish attacks with both his head and feet. It\u2019s no surprise that Galatasaray did everything they could to keep Victor and build their attacking line around him.<\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo<\/b><\/p>\n

The versatile Cameroonian player moved from Brentford to Manchester United for \u20ac75 million. Mbeumo is capable of playing both as a winger and a central forward. He has excellent speed, dribbling skills and an ability to exploit space. Last season, Bryan was Brentford\u2019s leader and scored 20 goals in the Premier League. Manchester United are counting on his creativity and goalscoring instinct to help restore the club\u2019s status as league favorites.<\/p>\n

Mohammed Kudus<\/b><\/p>\n

The Ghanaian cost Tottenham Hotspur a whopping \u20ac63.8 million, but the former West Ham United player is definitely worth the price. Kudus is renowned for his technique, unconventional thinking, and the ability to play both on the wing and in the center of attack. Spurs returned to the Champions League and needed a new star following the departure of the legendary Son Heung-min. Kudus seems to be the right choice \u2013 with Ajax, the Ghanaian shone not only in the Eredivisie but also in the Champions League, scoring 4 goals in 6 games in the 2022-23 season. Thomas Frank has already praised the player, who provided two assists in the match against Burnley.<\/p>\n

Yoane Wissa<\/b><\/p>\n

The deal between Brentford and Newcastle United was finalized on the final day of the transfer window. The Magpies waited until the last minute, and the player went on strike, demanding a move to a more prestigious club. \u20ac57.7 million finally convinced Brentford to sell the Congolese, who scored 19 goals in the Premier League last season. Newcastle hope that, along with Nick Woltemade, Wissa will make up for the loss of Alexander Isak, who left for Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Dango Ouattara<\/b><\/p>\n

The Burkina Faso international plays on the wing, is good at dribbling, quickly joins attacks, and is also capable of finishing them himself. At Bournemouth, Ouattara became one of the key players, demonstrating consistency and growth over two and a half seasons. This was enough for Brentford to spend a club-record \u20ac42.8 million, including bonuses. With the loss of Wissa and Mbeumo, it was crucial for the Londoners to sign a talented attacking player who can make a difference on the pitch. Ouattara fits the description, and in his first game for the new team, Dango\u2019s goal earned Brentford a victory over Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
