Fullbacks haven't even come close to putting up numbers like Alstott since he retired in 2006. He's the franchise record holder in touchdowns and was named to six straight Pro-Bowls from 1997-2002 and three straight All-Pro Teams from 1997-1999. Alstott compiled career highs of 949 rushing yards in 1999, 10 rushing touchdowns in 2001, and 65 receptions for 557 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns in 1996. He also had over 200 receiving yards six times and over 1,000 yards from scrimmage in 1999. He spent 11 years in Tampa Bay and had over 500 yards rushing five times and over 10 rushing touchdowns once. Mike Alstott was the last and greatest of the modern fullbacks. This sprung the likes of fullbacks like Tom Rathman and Daryl Johnston, just to name two. In the 1980s, the fullback position evolved into primarily a lead blocker and pass catcher who occasionally carried the ball.

The only thing keeping him out of the Hall of Fame is that voters must be treating him as a pure running back and not as a fullback. Napoli may also have to fight off interest in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Kim Min-jae.Mike Alstott is the clear first choice at running back for the Buccaneers. Osimhen established himself as one of the most exciting strikers in the world as Napoli won the Serie A title and United, again, is said to be among his admirers. Napoli could see a number of its star players targeted following the departure of inspirational coach Luciano Spalletti. Brady is well supported by talent on both sides of the ball, including at wide receiver with Mike Evans, Julio Jones, Chris Godwin, and Russell Gage headlining the roster. Kolo Muani scored 23 goals and set up 17 more for Frankfurt last season. Tom Brady returns for another season in Tampa Bay, and while he will turn 45 years old this year, he’s still at the peak of his powers. PSG is another possibility, especially if Mbappe leaves. Some of Europe’s biggest teams are being linked with Kolo Muani, a France forward who seems certain to be on the move.īayern is seen as one of the favorites to sign Kolo Muani as the German champions look for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who left last year. Rice appears to be Arsenal’s midfield priority and it is not clear if manager Mikel Arteta will attempt to sign Caicedo in addition to the England international.

The England international would add depth to United’s squad ahead of the team’s return to the Champions League next season.Īrsenal tried to sign Caicedo in January, but could not convince Brighton to sell.ĭespite signing a new contract in March, Caicedo is expected to move this year, with Arsenal and Chelsea among the teams linked with him. George Lehmann 1971-74 Freddie Lewis 1974-75 Elton McGriff 1968-69 Leland Mitchell 1967-68 Doug Moe 1967-68 Jackie Moreland 1967-70 Rick Mount 1974-75 Erwin Mueller 1973-74: Johnny Neumann 1971-74 Jim OBrien 1974-75 Tom Owens 1971-75 Ron Perry 1969-70 Marl Pradd 1967-69 Luthur Rackley 1972-73 Craig Raymond 1970-71 Joe Reaves 1973-74 Red. Mount is a versatile midfielder who can also play in a front three. United’s priority is to sign a top striker, while the Erik ten Hag could also be in the market for a goalkeeper, with David de Gea out of contract. Lukaku has been linked with AC Milan and Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.Īnother loan move - possibly back to Inter - appears the best option if Chelsea is prepared sign off on another temporary deal.Ĭhelsea has already rejected a bid of about $51 million from United for Mount and two more have reportedly been submitted without success. It is not clear what Chelsea’s plans are for the Belgium striker, while his fee and personal terms could block a permanent move to Inter. Lukaku finds his career at a crossroads after completing his loan spell at Inter Milan. The Croatia defender has continually been linked with a move to City in what could be a world record fee for a defender, with Leipzig reportedly wanting more than the 80 million pounds (then $97 million) United paid for Harry Maguire in 2019. Gvardiol, who was one of the stars of last year’s World Cup, could be one way. Having won a treble of trophies last season, it is hard to know how Pep Guardiola can improve his all-conquering Manchester City team. Much could depend on who wants the Brazilian, with Saudi Arabia already linked with a move for him as part of the country’s ambitious recruitment drive. Neymar would not appear to fit that shift in direction, so could potentially follow Messi by becoming the next star name to depart. The French champions are planning a change of strategy, which focuses on young and home-grown talent.
