Best U23 players in the world for 2024: Man City and Arsenal make it, Jamal Musiala or Jude Bellingham No. 1?

Who are the best U23 players in world football as the year 2023 closes? Is most of the young talent concentrated in the Premier League or more spread out amongst different leagues? And is Jude Bellingham or Jamal Musiala the best young player? Let's rank the top 10 U23 players in the world before 2024 begins. 10. Manchester City LW Jérémy Doku It may seem too soon to rank Jérémy Doku in the top ten of the world's best U23 players, given this is his first season with Manchester City and he hasn't even logged 700 minutes for the Citizens. However, Doku was already exceptional for Rennes before Pep Guardiola wisely snapped him up for City, where he has remained one of the world's finest dribblers with four dribbles completed per match in the world's most competitive league.

Best Premier League wingers 2024: Man City dominate, West Ham in, Mohamed Salah or Bukayo Saka?

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...

10 things you need to know about Kai Havertz

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...

Ranking the 10 best Arsenal players of the 2010s decade

In many ways, the 2010s were an awkward period for Arsenal. During the 2000s under Arsene Wenger, the Gunners were, at one point, the most dominant force in English football. They were literally "Invincible" at their peak and would later push Barcelona to their limit in a Champions League Final. And most recently, Arsenal have pushed Manchester City, the champions of Europe, to their limit as legitimate Premier League title contenders with a fresh squad under Mikel Arteta's direction. However, in between, there was a time when it looked like Arsenal would struggle to get back to the point of being a perennial force in the Champions League - let alone return to the summit of English football. For as much as he received criticism, Wenger was the stability point for Arsenal in those dar...

Ranking the 10 best Spanish footballers since 2000

The Spanish national team was the most dominant side in world football from 2008 to 2012. In that time span, they won the European Championship twice and the World Cup once, proving just about impossible to beat behind a Tiki-Taka style of play that was perfected by Pep Guardiola in Barcelona. It is, therefore, unsurprising that when looking back at the best Spanish footballers of the century thus far, many of those players were key cogs in the Blaugrana wheel. Of course, when Spanish footballers are discussed, you had best believe there are plenty of rival Real Madrid players represented. These two historic clubs will unsurprisingly dominate the list of the 10 best Spanish footballers since the year 2000, but if you look closely, you'll find two players who were superstars without spen...

Ranking the 10 best transfers in Real Madrid history

Nobody makes blockbuster signings quite like Real Madrid. From David Beckham and Zinédine Zidane to Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, Los Blancos have made some of world football's most iconic transfer splashes over the decades, using these superstar signings to mark different eras of the club. But while the Galácticos are known for the glitz and glamor, the most impressive thing about Real Madrid is how sustainably the club has been run over the last decade after president Florentino Pérez learned from his mistakes in his first run. Real Madrid have become a club capable of making huge signings like Jude Bellingham, but they are also able to unearth gems outside of the top five leagues or invest in top talents for less than 10 million euros. All the while, they generate plenty of reve...

Ranking the 10 best Liverpool players of the 2010s decade

Liverpool have a storied history in the context of world football, but even the most successful and well-supported clubs have a dark period. From the 2009/10 to 2015/16 season, the Reds were in the top four of the Premier League just once, finishing second in 2013/14 behind Luis Suárez's 31-goal season. It wasn't until Jürgen Klopp's arrival in that 2015/16 season that Liverpool began turning things around. Klopp helped bring consistent winning back to Liverpool, assembling a juggernaut of a front three in Sadio Mané, Roberto Frimino, and Mohamed Salah. History will remember that attack as one of the best trios to ever grace the Premier League. Even if others will have better statistics, nobody will match the cohesion those three do. But it's not all about the attacking players, nor ...

Ranking the 10 best RWs in world football for 2023

Who are the best right wingers in world football today in 2023 as we head into the calendar year 2024? Here is an updated list of the top 10 players at the position. Since inverted wingers are all the rage and left-footed players are scarcer than right-footed ones, it is especially difficult to find a world-class right winger capable of scoring goals and creating chances. So the players on this list are highly coveted. The ranking is based on a combination of overall pedigree and current performance, with the latter being the deciding factor. Players who are no longer primarily right wingers were discarded, such as Antoine Griezmann, while players who are better in other positions and not as consistent on the right wing, such as Rodrygo Goes, were not ranked as highly when specifical...
