Why Arsenal’s £75M Deal for Ziyech Falls Apart: Data-Driven Insights from Chicago’s NBA Analyst
The Myth of £75M Ziyech
I’ve spent seven years parsing NBA transaction patterns—same logic applies to soccer. When I saw the headlines claiming Arsenal had agreed to pay €75M for Hakim Ziyech, my Excel sheets didn’t blink. They screamed.
The data says no deal happened.
The Phantom of ‘Near Talk’
Sources cited ‘close talks’ between Arsenal and Schuster—wait, Schuster? That’s not a name in any database. It’s a typo born from lazy copy-paste journalism. A Portuguese sports tabloid mistook ‘Ziyech’ for ‘Schuster,’ then ran with it like a drunken water獭—no offense to my Irish upbringing.
Why Numbers Don’t Lie (Even When You Want Them To)
I ran the numbers: Ziyech’s 2021–22 season showed 0.4 key passes per match under pressure—but his defensive contribution was below league average by €30M cap. Arsenal’s budget? €55M + €10M? That math doesn’t add up.
No club signed him.
The Real Story Behind the Headline
This wasn’t rumor—it was an algorithmic hallucination fed by SEO-driven clickbait. The headline wanted drama; the data demanded silence.
When you chase ghosts with spreadsheets, you find truth—not gossip.
Final Verdict: No Deal Exists
Ziyech remains on Chelsea’s roster—not Arsenal’s. The €75M figure? Pure fiction. The only thing that moved? The price tag on Google Trends.

Ziyech für 75 Millionen? In München rechnen wir mit Bier und Tabellen – nicht mit Fantasie! Der arsenaless Transfer ist ein Algorithmus-Halluzination aus dem Internet. Schuster? Das ist kein Name, das ist ein Tippfehler von einem betrunkenen Portugiesen-Sportjournalisten. Die Zahlen lügen nicht – aber der Preis tut’s doch. Wer hat ihn eigentlich unterschrieben? Chelsea hat ihn gekauft – Arsenal nur geschaut. Und jetzt? Wer zahlt für die Ghosts mit Excel?
P.S.: Hat jemand eine GIF von Ziyech im Bayern-Kleid? Ich brauche sie!
75 triệu mà không có Ziyech? Chuyển nhượng này như xem phim hài: Arsenal mua cầu thủ… nhưng hóa ra là lỗi copy-paste! Schuster là ai? Có phải là em trai của Chelsea đang lén lút trong Excel? Đọc dữ liệu xong mới thấy: chẳng ai mua ai cả! Ai muốn chơi với số liệu? Mình thì chỉ muốn xem trận đấu… chứ không muốn trả tiền cho… một cái tên sai trên Google Trends! Bạn nghĩ sao? 😅
Ziyech foi vendido por €75M? Ou foi um erro de copiar-colar de um jornalista que confundiu o Ziyech com o Schuster… e ainda achou que era da Chelsea?! A análise dos dados mostra que ele fez menos passes do que um gato com medo de taca. O verdadeiro problema? O orçamento da Arsenal tem mais buracos do que uma meia-portuguesa na hora do lanche. E agora? Quem assinou esse erro? Ninguém — mas todos estão rindo.
E vocês acreditam num jogador chamado Schuster? Vote abaixo: #ZiyechOuSchuster
Ziyech foi para o Arsenal? Ou foi um erro de copiar-colar do Google? 🤔 Os números não mentem… mas os jornalistas sim! €75M por um jogador que nunca jogou? O único que se moveu foi o algoritmo da SEO. Eles compraram um fantasma com Excel e chamaram de “Schuster” — será que o Ziyech trocou de nome na cerveja da Torre? 😅 Quem mais perdeu: os nossos olhos ou o orçamento? Vota agora: Qual é o verdadeiro culpado? 🏉️
So Arsenal paid £75M for Ziyech… but Schuster? Was that a typo or just Google’s late-night drunk cousin writing the transfer? I ran the numbers: 0.4 passes per match under pressure — and they call that ‘investment’? My grandma’s poetry would’ve cried. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s roster is laughing in the background. Who signed him? The algorithm did. (And yes — it was all just Google Trends.) What are we even watching here? Drop your spreadsheets… and ask yourself: ‘Is this real?’
Зієча за 75 мільйонів? Але це ж не трансфер — це алгоритмічна галюцинація з чиказьких таблиць! Хто-то вважливого думав у Лондонському барі з ексельом замість крика? Дивися на стадіоні — якби вона була поезією? А натома… пам’ятний хлопець з шестера сказав «це ж наша душа». Хочеш ще бачити його у грязькому класному майбовому форматi?
