DONE DEAL:KOMPANY BURNLEY BEATS COVENTRY CITY FOR THE SIGNATURE OF 29 YEAR OLD MIDFIELDER GUSTAVO HAMER

 

Gustavo Hamer has been credited with interest across the Premier League but Coventry could find a

ready made replacement waiting in the wings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Viktor Gyokeres’ superb season has seen him on the brink of a £20.5m move to Portuguese giants

Sporting Lisbon, leaving the club to sign Everton starlet Ellis Simms for a fee that could reach £8m to

replace his goals.

It’s a huge fee for Coventry, their biggest ever, but selling might not be done there. Dutch midfield

metronome Gustavo Hamer has also been linked with a move away from the CBS Stadium, with Burnley

being credited with an interest alongside Fulham as Premier League interest picks up.

However, with Coventry acting quick to replace their Swedish goalscorer, they could do the same with

Hamer – and as Bournemouth star Emiliano Marcondes sees himself on the fringes of their team, Mark

Robins could bring him in should Hamer leave.

What would Emiliano Marcondes bring to Coventry City?

Marcondes moved to Brentford in the winter of 2018 and began life slowly in the English capital with 13

appearances that season and just 13 the next.

However, he slowly made his impression upon Thomas Frank and became a first-team fixture as the

Bees progressed to two Championship play-off finals, losing the first time around vs Fulham before

getting the better of Swansea with their second bite of the cherry.

The Dane’s goal in the win over the Welsh outfit proved that he, like Hamer, is a player for the big

occasion by scoring on the Wembley turf – and that can only translate to good things throughout the

season. Naturally, as the Bees progressed to the Premier League, Marcondes was deemed surplus to

requirements, with the signings of Frank Onyeka, Kristoffer Ajer, and even Christian Eriksen in January

throughout the season.

But after firing Bournemouth to promotion in the 2021/22 season, he wasn’t featured in their squad

either, going out on loan to Nordsjaelland, the club where it all began.

As he is seemingly out of the first-team picture at the Vitality Stadium, Marcondes has proved twice that he can be part of a promotion-winning club, and is entering his prime at the age of 28. He may be a player that lies slightly further forward of Hamer on the pitch, but coming at a snip of the potential fee for Hamer, he could well excel in the Midlands should a move be made for his services.

How much would Emiliano Marcondes cost Coventry City?

Having never picked up a transfer fee so far in his career, it is hard to gauge just where Bournemouth

would stand on a potential fee for his services.

With just one year left on his contract and having only once in the Premier League for the Cherries,

Marcondes surely wouldn’t cost a huge amount. Transfermarkt values him at £1.3million, which may be

a little below what the Bees ask for but not too far.

With Hamer likely to cost north of £10m, Coventry would be preserving a lot of the money they received

for both the Dutchman and Gyokeres, which means they could use that cash to strengthen in other areas

of the pitch.
