Enzo Maresca expressed relief at the close of the transfer window, emphasising that the uncertainty has finally ended and that only the players agreed upon by the club will remain with us for the rest of the season. After a 2-1 win against West Ham that saw us return to the top four, he noted that this stability allows us to focus on our game without further distractions from transfer speculation. The club’s transfer business this window has been carefully managed. Although our only immediate senior addition was the recall of Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace, future reinforcements are already in place. Notably, we have agreed on a €14million deal for defender Mamadou Sarr from Strasbourg, set to join in the summer, and a £12.5m deal for 19-year-old midfielder Mathis Amougou from Saint-Etienne. The plan for Amougou is to help him learn our style of play before he is loaned to Strasbourg next season, with the expectation that he will eventually take over from Andrey Santos and become a full member of the senior team for the 2025-26 season.
