Definitely think RW is the first priority.
Not sure about Maddison competition yet. You are probably right but still wouldn’t be shocked if they didn’t go after an Eze/Baena/Sudakov type player.

Would add Deki into that midfield rotation, since i expect him to cover 8/9/10 positions. Based on that its getting crowded in midfield to me and I dont see space here for new acquisition unless we sell someone from players listed in your post. Agree re: Eze, he will come imo only if Ange sees him as RW in this system,which like you wrote may not be a thing. Not saying i agree with this, but just trying to make educated guess here.

Interesting that he's playing centrally in training as well. He may be there to stay.
Agree - and if Maddison looks like he did in the second half of last season to start this season, then Deki could get a lot of playing time there
The central forward experiment seems to be working well so far.
Looks like he could become our own Roberto Firmino given his love for quick 1-2 linkups in tight spaces with his back to goal.

He looks amazing in the centre. Starting to build some chemistry with Sonny. I don’t want to see him at right wing again.
the good thing is we shouldnt be seeing son as a 9 again! especially against sides sitting in.
So we sign a RW and only another striker if Richy goes…
Not saying that’s what I want but it looks that way with DK being used centrally instead of Son.
Wouldn’t be surprised if big European CBs are a better match up for him at the #9.
If he would be out starting striker this season how many goals would he get?
10+ probably, finishing is one of his strong suits.
People will obviously leap to say he needs 20; but the truth is 20 EPL goals per season is an anomaly........ You rarely get more than one or two 20 goal men per season and it's even rarer that they're not penalty takers too

He won't be playing many games as striker.
I reckon he gets 8 goals this season (same as last) but he will get more assists. Last season only 3.
15 G/As will be an excellent season.
I would say 10G & 10A
