The transfer window is about to enter its last week. We have seen big names going to teams no one ever would have guessed and teams doing everything they can to have a reliable roaster. However, given the season is almost only half done yet, teams will have chances to see how these trades turn out. Some like Arsenal are just assembling avengers while some like Chelsea are snubbing the players on which Arsenal had eyes.
The points table this year is shocking because there is a team at the top with just one defeat and a team at the bottom with just 4 victories. The latest name in this soccer trade-off is USMNT star Weston McKennie.
Bournemouth, Everton, and Southampton are fighting to keep them from relegation, and two good matches can bring out the desired change in the table. However, at the very top, there are very few chances of changes as Arsenal is on a historic run and has won 16 out of 19 matches this season.
