The summer transfer window transforms the off-season from a potential borefest into a sizzling pot of exciting rumours, keeping fans glued to the internet. 

Clubs like Manchester City, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have been uncharacteristically quiet in the transfer market so far, while the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Arsenal have made big splashes.
Thankfully, Betking, the best online sports betting platform in Nigeria has provided the perfect opportunity for you to be a part of the action by betting on potential player moves on our [Transfer Specials](https://m.betking.com/sports/football/leagues/special/transfer-specials) page.

Without further ado, let us dive into the biggest moves of the 2023 summer transfer window so far.

**Jude Bellingham (Dortmund to Real Madrid) – £105m**

Talk about a big move. The race to sign Bellingham began as far back as last summer, with several of Europe’s biggest clubs fighting to acquire the England international. 
Liverpool eventually pulled out for financial reasons, making it a two-horse race between Real Madrid and Manchester City. 
Madrid eventually held off the English side to pull off a blockbuster signing, landing the 20-year-old for £105m. Bellingham will now join an impressive array of midfield talent at the Bernabeu, teaming up with the likes of Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde and old horses, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. 

Let us delve into what Bellingham can really bring to Real Madrid.
At 20, he is already one of the most well-rounded midfielders in world football, able to perform several complex roles in midfield, to a high level. For a Real Madrid side going into the new season without their chief goalscorer, Karim Benzema, Los Blancos will need the goalscoring burden to be shared.

Bellingham should contribute immensely to chance creation and ultimately goals. He led the team in shot attempts (76) and build-up involvments (104) [according to Opta](https://theanalyst.com/eu/2023/06/jude-bellingham-real-madrid-transfer/), showing just how effective he is at creating opportunities and being at the end of them.

Bellingham contributed six asists for Dortmund last season, with just 4 coming in the Bundesliga but that number could and should have been higher. He created 34 chances in the league [according to Fotmob](https://www.fotmob.com/players/1077894/jude-bellingham) but also created 33 secondary chances, the most of any Dortmund player in the Bundesliga last season.

In total, the new Real Madrid man finished the last campaign with 14 goals and 6 assists in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund last season. Betking offers you the best odds to help you win big and Bellingham to score 10 goals in the league is excellent value.

**Declan Rice – (West Ham to Arsenal, £105m)**

Arsenal held off strong competition from Machester City to complete the signing of West Ham captain Declan Rice for a British record fee of £105m.
The Gunners will hope that his arrival will bring them closer to their ultimate goal of knocking Pep Guardiola’s men off the summit and winning a title they probably should have won last year. 
Rice was one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League last season and indeed, in Europe.

In terms of breaking up play, the 24-year-old is impeccable. He made more interceptions (63) and won possession more times (334) than any other player during the just concluded Premier League season.([via Squawka](https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/1680246609999740929?s=20))

Rice can also chip in with the odd goal here and there, scoring 4 goalsfor West Ham in the league last season, from 26 shots and an xG of 2.4([via FotMob](https://www.fotmob.com/players/654096/declan-rice))

[Arsenal were emphatic at home last season](https://fbref.com/en/squads/18bb7c10/Arsenal-Stats), winning 14 games at the Emirates and only losing twice. With the Gunners kicking off their campaign with a home game against Nottingham Forest, expect Arteta’s men to start with a bang.

**Kai Havertz – (Chelsea to Arsenal, £65m)**

Havertz made the switch across London, swapping Chelsea for Arsenal for a fee of around £65m. While some eyebrows were raised at the scale of the transfer fee, Mikel Arteta has earned the right to make decisions and must be trusted to deliver. 

Havertz time at Chelsea was perhaps, not the most electric but he did score the goal that won them the Champions League in 2021.

The 24-year-old is expected to form a major part of Arsenal’s new look midfield, operating on the left of the three, alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.

 Don’t forget to bet on how many goals or assists the talented German international will contribute to Arsenal’s title chase next season, on our [Kai Havertz Specials](https://m.betking.com/sports/football/leagues/special/kai-havertz-specials) page.

**Andre Onana - (Internazionale - Manchester United, £47.2m)**

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was keen to address the goalkeeping situation towards the end of last season, as it became apparent that David De Gea was likely headed for an exit. 
After weeks of negotiations, the Red Devils came to an agreement with Serie A giants Inter Milan for a fee of around £47.2m.

In modern footbal, the role of the sweeper keeper has become hugely important. Being able to make good saves is still vital, but just as important, is the ability to be an extra player for your team, initiating attacks from deep and passing with pinpoint accuracy.

Manchester City’s Ederson is arguably the best in the world at that but Onana is not far behind. 
Onana is simply, a huge upgrade on De Gea. The Cameroonian completed 93.8% of his passes last season(minimum 1000 minutes played) compared to De Gea’s 88% [via Opta](https://theanalyst.com/eu/2023/07/onana-the-holding-midfielder-goalkeeper-could-be-a-gamechanger-for-man-utd/).

Onana is also very adept at the basics of shot stopping. He made 62 saves last season and conceded 24 goals from an xGOT of 19.4 in the Serie A, [via Fotmob](https://www.fotmob.com/players/611491/andre-onana). 
De Gea by comparison, conceded 43 goals from an xGOT of 41.5 –69.9% save percentage.

Despite the controversy surrounding Onana at lat year’s World Cup in Qatar, he still broke the record for the most touches outside the penalty area for a keeper at any World Cup (26) in Cameroon’s 1-0 defeat to Switzerland.

In conclusion, he is perfect for Ten Hag’s style and Manchester United fans have an elite goalkeeper on their hands.

**Mason Mount - (Chelsea to Man United, £55m)**

Manchester United moved swiftly to snap up Mason Mount from Chelsea, in what was probably the best move for all parties involved. Mount was entering the final year of his contract and after rejecting two Chelsea offers, it made sense for the Blues to cash in. 
The eventual fee was £50m plus another £5m, excellent value for a player with 12 months left. 
[Mount was pivotal in Chelsea’s run to Champions League glory in 2021](https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/mason-mount-wins-chelsea-player-of-the-year-award), often dovetailing between the lines, scoring and assisting at a high rate. 
The Red Devils will be pleased to acquire a player of Mount’s quality, and still only 24, there is a feeling that he still has many more levels to unlock.
At his best, Mount has shown he can be an added source of goals from midfield with 33 goals in the last four seasons for Chelsea. He should have more license to get forward under United boss Erik Ten Hag, potentially increasing his tally. Betking offers you an excellent opportunity, backing Mason Mount to be among the goals and assists in the coming season, as well as high odds when you stake on several mouthwatering options on the [Mason Mount Specials](https://m.betking.com/sports/football/leagues/special/mason-mount-specials) page.

BET ON MASON MOUNT TO SCORE 10+ GOALS FOR MANCHESTER UNITED IN 23/24 

**Verdict**

There is plenty of excitement surrounding the aforementioned signings with Arsenal fans in particular, thrilled to have Declan Rice on their books. 
For Manchester United fans, Andre Onana represents an opportunity for the club to really kick on and reap the benefits of having a modern goalkeeper on their books.
