After losing to the Championship the previous season and losing Miron Muslic, Plymouth Argyle is starting a new chapter under new head coach Tom Cleverley.
With a fresh focus, Argyle is quickly reassembling their team in preparation for a League One promotion challenge.
As of this writing, nine signings have been confirmed, bringing a mix of established players and up-and-coming talents to Home Park. This is the most recent.
After Bristol City leaves, Ayman Benarous receives a lifeline from Argyle.
After a successful trial period, midfielder Ayman Benarous has signed a one-year contract with Argyle.
After a week of practicing with the first team, the 21-year-old, who was recently released by Bristol City, has pleased Tom Cleverley’s coaching staff.
A graduate of the Robins’ academy, Benarous had 11 senior games until two chronic injuries halted his development.
Cleverley, who has commended the young player’s talent, supports him as he rejoins the Pilgrims now that he is fully recovered.
The head coach remarked, “Ayman has impressed us all since he came in and is a young player with brilliant potential.”
“He has demonstrated his talent to everyone present.”
Cleverley added that Benarous had been approached by several teams but decided to continue his career at Argyle.
Update on injuries: Conor Hazard accelerates his recuperation during the preseason
Conor Hazard, the custodian for the Pilgrims, has accompanied the team to their preseason training camp in Austria as he continues to recover from a knee ligament injury he suffered while playing for his country last month.
When Hazard first arrived in Austria, the club released film showing him wearing a brace on his right knee, raising questions about his short-term availability.
A more positive news, though, came Tuesday morning when Argyle shared fresh video footage of Hazard working out, including lifting weights, in the gym without the brace while the rest of the team practiced on the field.
The goal is for Hazard to be healthy for the start of the League One season and perhaps even for the last preseason friendly against Bristol City on July 26 at Home Park, as head coach Tom Cleverley indicated last month.
Brendan Wiredu rejects his League One rivals in favour of moving to Home Park.
Fleetwood Town skipper Brendan Wiredu has been signed by Plymouth, defeating League One opponent Rotherham United in another declaration of intent.
The 25-year-old midfielder joins Argyle as their newest recruit during what is turning out to be a game-changing summer transfer window.
According to reports, the Millers’ £300,000 offer for Wiredu was rejected last month, allowing Argyle to quickly step in and match the asking price.
The club’s goals for this season are seen to be greatly aided by Wiredu’s leadership abilities and capacity to compete at the Championship level.
Along with recent additions Ayman Benarous, Bim Pepple from Luton Town, Owen Oseni from St Mirren, Jack MacKenzie from Aberdeen, Xavier Amaechi from FC Magdeburg, Jamie Paterson from Coventry City, Caleb Watts from rival Exeter City, and Bradley Ibrahim from Hertha BSC earlier in the offseason, the midfielder’s arrival adds even more depth to an already-revamped squad.
After the record agreement, Talovierov’s departure balances the accounts.
Club-record signing Five months after joining Argyle, Maksym Talovierov left to join Stoke City of the Championship, allowing the team to recover their whole £1.7 million investment.
Talovierov, who was acquired from Austrian team LASK in January, played in 13 games for the Pilgrims and scored in their historic FA Cup matchup with Manchester City.
But it was expected that the Ukraine international will move on after relegation and a managerial change.
Cleverley said, “We expect Maxi to finish his move away from the club.”
A sell-on provision in the contract gives Argyle the opportunity to benefit in the future if the defender leaves the bet365 Stadium.
