For just 25 million pounds at a maximum, Chelsea can sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United permanently at the end of the season, and after just one game, it looks like the Blues will gladly deposit that check to the bank. Only the most deluded of Manchester United fans who are all too willing to turn against club legends like Cristiano Ronaldo in order to drink the most foul of Kool-Aids concocted by Erik ten Hag believed the dross that Sancho was a locker room cancer and a flop of a player. All it took was a competent viewer of this sport to understand that Borussia Dortmund were 10 times better with Sancho back in their ranks, and he put his full talents on display in the Champions League semifinals by outshining PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe to lift BVB to the Final. At Chelse...

The 2024/25 Premier League season is only three games young so far (with the fourth set to happen for clubs this weekend), but Tottenham star right back Pedro Porro has been making quite the impression. Porro joined Tottenham in the winter 2023 transfer window from Sporting CP for just 45 million euros when combining the initial loan fee and the lump sum to make his deal permanent.

Porro quickly replaced Emerson Royal and proved to be a massive upgrade on the current AC Milan man, firmly establishing himself as one of the best right backs in English football. Liverpool ...

AC Milan will face Venezia in Serie A this weekend on Saturday night at the San Siro. The Rossoneri are reeling to start the 2024/25 season, having lost to newly promoted Parma with draws agains Torino and Lazio. So that is no wins in three matches for new manager Paulo Fonseca, who was already under pressure the second he took the job, as Milan fans and legends were hoping for a bigger name to replace 2021/22 Scudetto winner Stefano Pioli. Milan are expecting nothing less than a convincing win against underdogs Venezia, who are back in Serie A after being bounced back down to the second flight after just one season in Serie A a couple of years ago. Here is a look at how AC Milan could line up at the San Siro on Saturday night in Serie A vs. Venezia. GK Mike Maignan, LB Theo He...

Manchester City center back Nathan Ake joined the club in 2020 from Bournemouth and quickly blossomed into one of the best man-markers and overall defensive players in world football under Pep Guardiola. An important part of arguably the best defense in European football, Ake has unfortunately went down with an injury, leaving Manchester City short-handed for their upcoming slate of matches. According to Guardiola, via City Xtra, Nathan Ake will miss seven total matches for Manchester City coming out of the September international fixtures, as the Dutch defender will disappointingly be unable to play until the international matches in October. The 29-year-old pitch was stretchered off the pitch in a match over the "break" against Germany, and he was observed in tears, clutching hi...
