Lazio surprised many by finishing second in Serie A, outlasting rivals Roma, both Milan clubs, and the penalized Juventus to end as the best team in the league after clear champions Napoli. Although the Biancocelesti had a couple of rough patches, they deserved their status in second. They played lovely football, keeping possession and defending the best they ever have in recent seasons. Once they bought into Maurizio Sarri's style, they flourished, and had Ciro Immobile been healthy, perhaps Lazio would have been even better. With a strong summer, Lazio can make some noise in the Champions League and finish top four again in 2023/24, even considering how competitive Serie A is now. So here are five possible transfer targets for Lazio in the summer 2023 transfer window. Boca Ju...

The 2022/23 Ligue 1 season is officially in the books with PSG holding on as champions, though Lens made it close in the end. And if you ask people in the know, such as Reims' manager Will Still, they'll tell you that Lens was actually the best team in the league. Certainly, they were the most impressive, consistent, and pleasurable to watch. So it's no surprise then that Lens and another exciting Ligue 1 side, Rennes, were the only ones with multiple representatives in this 2022/23 Ligue 1 Team of the Season. Reims were also an exciting team to watch, but many of their stars - such as Yehvann Diouf, Folarin Balogun, and Junya Ito - just missed out. Let's address the big surprise here first. PSG not having anyone involved. Nuno Mendes, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappé all had exceptio...

Everton had to fight for their lives in the 2022/23 Premier League season, barely escaping relegation in what proved to be an unpredictable battle to the last Matchday. The Toffees are one of the league's most storied sides, so they are not used to watching their standards slip this badly over the last couple of seasons. Without star man Richarlison, whose first season with Tottenham did not exactly go swimmingly either, Everton were very much lacking in the necessary quality in the attacking third. But despite strong seasons from players like Amadou Onana in the midfield, it is clear that the Toffees have serious issues in their squad just about everywhere. So here are five possible transfer targets for Everton in the summer 2023 window, as they look to climb back up the Premier Lea...

With only the Conference League and Champions League finals set to be played, the 2022/23 season is winding down to a close and the focus is starting to turn to the 2022/23 transfer market. For the most part, strikers get most of the love on the transfer rumor mill, because goals are at a premium. However, midfielders are becoming increasingly coveted, as Real Madrid's recent big-money moves for Aurélien Tchouaméni and Jude Bellingham have shown us. So here are the best midfielders expected to be available on the summer 2023 transfer market. 10. Leon Goretzka, Bayern München: While Leon Goretzka did not have his best season in 2022/23, it wasn't long ago when he was one of the very best players in the Bundesliga, even before joining Bayern München. He helped carry Schalke to secon...

Although Verona and Spezia still have one last match to decide who stays and who goes, the 2022/23 Serie A season officially concluded on Sunday with Roma sealing a Europa League spot over Juventus - thanks to the superstar they signed from the Bianconeri for free, Paulo Dybala. La Joya undoubtedly has a place in the final 2022/23 Serie A Team of the Season, which is unsurprisingly dominated by Napoli stars. But there may be some picks that surprise you in this all-star XI. GK Ivan Provedel, Lazio: Alex Meret also had a fantastic season in goal for the Partenopei. At the same time, the likes of Wladimiro Falcone were excellent for sides that survived a relegation threat. Yet Ivan Provedel has to be recognized as the best goalkeeper in Serie A. For years, he helped Spezia stay afloat,...
