Fulham Opinion: Three Premier League clubs for Jean Michel Seri

Football London has reported that Fulham star Jean Michel Seri has made his intentions clear about next season, with the 27-year-old unwilling to play in the Championship.

Linked with moves (h/t Football London) to Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and even Tottenham last summer, the Frenchman instead became Fulham’s marquee man.

Since then, he’s struggled, scoring just one goal and producing three more assists since his mega £20million move (Telegraph). It’s a massive surprise, given just how good the Ivory Coast star is.

A brilliant player on his day, Seri has the ability and the talent to play for a top-level club but inconsistency has been his biggest issue.

Or maybe it’s the fact that Fulham have majorly underperformed this season, despite spending massively over the summer. Either way, the 27-year-old should consider moving to these three Premier League sides instead.

Manchester United

Ander Herrera might not be leaving the club but Manchester United could do with a player like Jean Michel Seri. Despite being talented, creative and a hard-working player, Seri might not be a first-team star there.

However, what he could do is play second fiddle to Paul Pogba, who is easily among the best midfielders in the world at the moment.

That isn’t an optimal situation for the Ivory Coast star but it will provide him with a chance to prove himself at a bigger club. The Red Devils have been previously linked with a move and should try for one in the summer (Manchester Evening News).

Tottenham Hotspur

Losing Mousa Dembele without adding a replacement could go down as Mauricio Pochettino’s greatest mistake as Tottenham’s manager. It effectively saw their season crumble and knock Tottenham out of the title race, leaving it to just Liverpool and Manchester City.

While adding Seri won’t be a permanent solution, it is an answer to some sorts to their issues in the summer window. Furthermore, with Fulham as good as relegated, Seri’s price won’t be too much and more importantly affordable enough for Tottenham.

It will allow them to splurge elsewhere, and like Manchester United, they have been previously linked with a move (Express).

Arsenal

Arsenal are losing Aaron Ramsey in the summer and for free, with Juventus scooping the 28-year-old for free (Guardian). His contract is expiring and it is a move that the club will come to regret in the near future, especially when they look towards replacing him.

While Seri won’t be a replacement, the 27-year-old is certainly an option that the Gunners should consider going forward. A talented midfielder, the Ivory Coast star has flourished in a system similar to the one that Unai Emery uses at Arsenal.

It’s what Lucien Favre used back when Seri was at Nice and it does make a move rather interesting. Not to mention, like all the clubs on this list, Arsenal were previously linked with a move (Daily Star).

Arsenal vs. Chelsea: Predicted Lineups + Match Preview

Published

on

Arsenal host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in what could prove decisive for the Gunners’ Premier League title ambitions. Arsenal sit top of the table with 61 points from 28 matches, five points clear of Manchester City, who still have a game in hand, while Chelsea occupy 7th with 45 points after being held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Burnley at Stamford Bridge last weekend.

This represents a huge opportunity for Mikel Arteta’s side to put further distance between themselves and the chasing pack before facing Brighton away on Wednesday. Chelsea arrive at the Emirates in patchy form under Liam Rosenior, who has won just two of his eight league matches since replacing Enzo Maresca in January despite an encouraging start to his tenure.

Kick-off: 4:30 GMT, Sunday, March 1, 2026
Venue: Emirates Stadium
TV: Sky Sports

Kai Havertz Returns to Haunt Former Club

Mikel Arteta confirmed on Friday that Kai Havertz will train on Saturday ahead of the Chelsea clash, giving the German a chance to feature against his former employers. Havertz has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since early February, but scored the winner in Arsenal’s 1-0 Carabao Cup semi final victory over Chelsea earlier this month.

The 26 year old has endured a nightmare campaign with injuries limiting him to just 158 Premier League minutes this season, though he has still managed two goals and two assists when available. Viktor Gyokeres has flourished in Havertz’s absence, scoring twice in the 4-1 North London Derby demolition of Tottenham last weekend.

Rosenior Yet to Face Top Six Opposition

Liam Rosenior faces his first test against a top six side in the league since taking charge of Chelsea, having only faced teams sitting 7th or lower during his opening eight matches. His winning run needs proper context, given the quality of opposition, with recent dropped points against Leeds and Burnley at Stamford Bridge exposing serious vulnerabilities.

Arteta has beaten Rosenior twice already this season in the two legged Carabao Cup semi final, and the Spanish manager will fancy his chances of completing a treble over the Chelsea boss. Bukayo Saka should be fit despite limping off late against Spurs, while Ben White remains doubtful with a niggle.

Predicted Lineups: Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard; Saka, Gyokeres, Eze

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson

Update Given Following Arsenal Injury Scare as Olivia Smith Discharged From Hospital After Being Stretchered Off During FA Cup Win Over Bristol City

Arsenal fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Olivia Smith is discharged from the hospital after her injury scare during the FA Cup match against Bristol City.

Arsenal star Olivia Smith has been discharged from hospital after being stretchered off the field during their Women’s FA Cup game against Bristol City. The forward, who joined the Gunners in the summer, played just under an hour before being forced off with pictures showing a neck brace around the 21 year old at Meadow Park.

This was a worrying moment for Arsenal supporters watching on Sunday afternoon. The Canadian international went down, receiving lengthy treatment before being taken off on a stretcher as a precaution. Thankfully, the injury appears to be far less serious than initially feared.

Left Hospital Yesterday Evening

According to Arsenal reporter Tim Stillman, Olivia Smith left the hospital yesterday evening after tests were run and will return to be assessed this week ahead of the March international break. This is brilliant news for Arsenal, who cannot afford to lose Smith for any length of time, given her importance to the team.

It is believed that her involvement with Canada is still up in the air, with the Canucks facing a triple header of friendlies against Colombia, Argentina, and the United States over the coming two weeks. Arsenal’s next match sees them face London City Lionesses in mid March.

Big Boost for Champions League Hopes

With no video available for Arsenal’s cup game against Bristol City, there was huge concern surrounding Smith’s condition for those unable to attend the game at Meadow Park. Thankfully, what seemed initially to be a severe injury has turned out to be a fairly minor incident.

While Stina Blackstenius and Alessia Russo are both more than capable options to lead the line, it has been Smith who has been Renee Slegers’ favoured choice and proven to be a brilliant signing since her arrival from Liverpool. Having Smith likely available for both legs of the Chelsea Champions League quarter final is a massive boost for Arsenal’s hopes of retaining their European crown.

Arsenal's Kim Little named WSL Player of the Month for January, celebrating outstanding form after her remarkable 400th appearance as Scotland midfielder.

Kim Little has been named January’s Barclays Women’s Super League Player of the Month, recognition that follows her 400th appearance for Arsenal. The captain has made an outstanding start to 2026, completing every minute in the WSL and helping secure two clean sheets and four points from fixtures against Manchester United and Chelsea.

Little drove the midfield against United in the 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium and was again pivotal in the disciplined defensive display at Stamford Bridge that delivered that historic 2-0 win over the Blues. This is absolutely deserved recognition for one of Arsenal’s most influential players, who continues to perform at the highest level despite being 35 years old.

400th Appearance Came in Belgium

Little’s landmark 400th appearance came in Belgium as Arsenal won 4-0 at OH Leuven to close in on a Champions League London derby with Chelsea. The Scottish playmaker came on as a second half substitute in the 82nd minute, replacing Olivia Smith, to reach 400 appearances.

This achievement is even more notable given the time she spent playing in the USA and Australia during her career. Little has become one of the defining figures of the modern Arsenal era, establishing herself as an absolute legend at the club.

Chelsea Awaits in Champions League Quarterfinals

Provided nothing dramatic unfolds at Meadow Park next week, Chelsea awaits in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Arsenal hold a commanding 4-0 advantage from the first leg and are overwhelming favorites to progress to a mouth watering London derby in the last eight.

Little will be central to Arsenal’s hopes of defending their Champions League crown, with the midfielder’s experience and leadership qualities proving invaluable during the knockout stages of major competitions. Her consistent performances continue to set the standard for everyone around her.
