In all honesty, Sevilla have been pretty terrible lately, so you'd be forgiven if you forgot that they are legitimately one of the biggest clubs in Spanish football and were in the LaLiga title discussion with Real Madrid as recently as the first half of the 2021/22 season. But since then, Sevilla have been a step above Spain's Schalke or Bordeaux, finishing 12th and 14th in LaLiga in the last two seasons. They were even flirting with relegation in the 2022/23 season before winning the Europa League and charging up the table under miracle-worker Jose Luis Mendilibar. Right now, Sevilla are so bereft of talent that Valencia's Peter Lim is probably feeling pretty good about himself in comparison. They just sold their only legitimate goal-scoring threat, Youssef En-Nesyri, to Fenerbahce...

In the summer 2022, Todd Boehly kicked off a new era at Chelsea that can only be described as disastrous. The former 2020/21 Champions League winners under Thomas Tuchel quickly fired the beloved German manager, brought in Boehly's pick Graham Potter from Brighton, promptly fired him, and have since entered a tumultuous relationship with ex-Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea have gone from regular Champions League contenders and European champions to a team that basically has little hope of getting back into any sort of European competition. They are spending more money than anyone else yet getting results equivocal to the likes of Wolves and Fulham within the Premier League. Other than success under Pochettino in cups, there isn't much to love about the Blues right now. ...

As Liverpool prepare to wave farewell to Jürgen Klopp and thank him for everything he has accomplished at one of the most prestigious institutions in world football, many are taking time to reflect on his impact and legacy at Anfield. For the most part, Klopp upgraded Liverpool by making shrewd signings on the transfer market - such as the vaunted trio of Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino, and Mohamed Salah - and changing the mentality around the club both tactically and, in a matter of speaking, spiritually. He also helped develop young talents into the stars they are today, including a trio of players who have been, are currently, and, most importantly, will be important to Liverpool's success. Here are the three best Liverpool academy players Jürgen Klopp helped develop. Trent Alexa...

Here is a ranking of the 10 best U23 players in the Premier League right now during the 2023/2024 season. 10. Everton CM James Garner Everton may be near the bottom of the Premier League table, but they do have a number of young talents worth betting on for the future, with center midfielder James Garner quietly standing out alongside Amadou Onana. While Onana is the one getting looks from the likes of Barcelona, Garner has been arguably even better this season with 2.6 tackles and 1.5 interceptions per game. He's even making a difference offensively with 1.2 key passes and 1.3 fouls drawn per game. At 22, Garner is a young general in midfield for Everton and can become one of the best at his position in the Premier League. 9. Manchester United RW Alejandro Garnacho Famou...

The Premier League is loaded with attacking talent right now, especially when it comes to wingers in the primes of their careers. With about half of the 2023/24 season in the books, let's try to rank the 10 best wingers in the English top flight based on overall pedigree and current performance. 10. Dejan Kulusevski, Tottenham Since Son Heung-min is playing as a striker, Dejan Kulusevski is the Tottenham winger who gets ranked on the list. He's having another very strong season for Spurs, who were in the Premier League title mix for much of the season. Even now, Tottenham are in contention to return to the Champions League after missing out on European football entirely. Kulusevski has helped step up with Harry Kane gone to Bayern Munich, scoring goals but doing a lot more crea...

Arsenal attacking midfielder Kai Havertz is one of the most talented players in world football, and he's also establishing himself as one of the most versatile. Here are 10 things you need to know about one of Arsenal's newest signings, going back to his days with Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen before arriving in North London. What is Kai Havertz's best position? This has often been a subject of debate, since Havertz has worn a number of hats during his young career thus far. He's even played left back for the German national team. Havertz is at his best when he can play as a support striker or attacking midfielder behind a striker. As a lone man up top, his finishing isn't consistent enough, and he isn't enough of a presence to be a true 9. Further, he doesn't have the unique skill-set...
