The transfer between the London clubs is not unusual, but when the stars join the fierce competitor club, it will increase the appeal to the deals. The Premier League is witnessing such a summer.
If Noni Madueke completes the transfer from Chelsea to Arsenal – the two most successful London clubs in the Premier League era – he will definitely face special attention. Mohammed Kudus has also moved from West Ham United to Tottenham Hotspur in a move.
These transfer incidents caused the NHM community to think about whether the transfer to a rival is really a good idea. Let us consider the successful deals and the deals that are not very good.
In London, the decision to leave Tottenham to come to Arsenal in the summer of Sol Campbell's 2001 is the most controversial and criticized situation in the Premier League era. Campbell is perfectly trained in the Spurs furnace and has more than 250 matches for the club during 9 seasons, winning the FA Cup 1999.
He was a historical figure Tottenham but when his contract expired and Campbell wanted to move to a club in the Champions League. Arsenal is the choice that makes NHM Spurs angry than any other option, because Arsenal is the rival.
Campbell was assigned to the label “Judas against God” and still not forgiven in Spurs. With 2 Premier League championships, 3 FA Cups, 1 Champions League runner -up and a solid career in England for 6 years at Arsenal, he thinks his decision is completely accurate.
Similarly, Ashley Cole – who moved from Arsenal to Chelsea in 2006 – also created a battle for the dull contract dispute between him and Arsenal, along with allegations of secret meetings to discuss the transfer to Stamford Bridge.
This is also considered a risky move, when Cole won two Premier League championships, 3 FA trophies and played the Champions League final for Arsenal in the period when they were MU's main rivals.
But Chelsea, the team won the Premier League 2 years before the transfer was completed, the new force of London football. Cole continued to add a Premier League championship and 4 FA Cups to the collection, accompanied by the 2012 Champions League Silver Cup.
Frank Lampard's movement to Stamford Bridge from West Ham is less controversial. This is largely because many West Ham NHMs do not appreciate the young midfielder due to this self -training club. However, over time, the aversion of West Ham with Lampard increased as he became a legend of the Premier League.
Lampard ended his career at Stamford Bridge as the greatest player of Chelsea, with 3 Premier League championships, 4 FA Cups, 2 League Cups, 1 Champions League, 1 Europa League and the club's record of 211 goals.
There are countless successful transfer deals across London, including William Gallas moving from Chelsea to Arsenal. The French midfielder twice won the Premier League in Stamford Bridge but became a celebrity at Arsenal and also played for Tottenham at the end of his career.
Further north, MU has succeeded with players from Leeds United, one of the rivals. In particular, Eric Cantona (4 Premier League and 2 FA Cups) and Rio Ferdinand (6 Premier League championships, 2 League Cups and one Champions League) are the two most famous names.
But MU regretted the loss of Carlos Tevez, who won the Premier League twice at Old Trafford twice, but was more remembered when moving to Man City and helped the noisy neighbor win the first Premier League championship in 2012.
But the transfer between rivals can also lead to unpredictable consequences. Mikael Silvestre won 4 Premier League championships, 1 FA Cup and 1 Champions League in MU, but his movement to Arsenal in 2008 only brought him 21 main matches. Similarly, Alexis Sanchez at the opposite train in 2018.
This is also a warning for Noni Madueke, when many recent transfer cases between Chelsea and Arsenal are listed on the question list. Kai Havertz only shines at some time, David Luiz had a short time at Arsenal, and Willian only scored 1 goal and 5 assists after 25 appearances.
