Explained in plain English
Why do clubs 'pivot' targets?
Clubs often have a list of potential players for each position. If their primary target, like Morgan Rogers for Arsenal, becomes too expensive or chooses another club, they 'pivot' to alternative options. This strategy ensures they still strengthen their squad without overspending or missing out on key positions.
