EPL Transfer Rumors: Tottenham want free ST, Chelsea after LB phenom, Everton eye AC Milan standout

Will Tottenham boost their attack in January with a virtually unknown forward from Spain? Are Chelsea about to sign another left back to compete with Marc Cucurella? And can Everton make a big splash by signing a talented footballer from Champions League side AC Milan? Here are the latest Premier League transfer rumors. Everton linked to Samuel Chukwueze transfer According to a report from Football Insider's Pete O'Rourke, Everton are interested in signing AC Milan right winger Samuel Chukwueze in the January 2025 transfer window. Chukwueze is one of the most talented right wingers in European football, having made a name for himself over multiple strong seasons in La Liga with Villarreal, getting international attention for an eye-catching hat trick in the 2022/23 season against R...

EPL burning questions: Arsenal’s title hopes, Jadon Sancho flops, Rasmus Hojlund shines

Is Arsenal's status as Premier League title contenders at risk? What can Chelsea count on from Jadon Sancho? And how good is Manchester United strike Rasmus Hojlund? Read on as I attempt to answer these three burning questions from three of the Premier League's biggest clubs. Is Rasmus Hojlund better than everyone thinks? Manchester United's best player in their all-important 2-1 win over Brentford, in which Erik ten Hag's job was very likely on the line, was undoubtedly young attacker Alejandro Garnacho on the left wing. But Rasmus Hojlund was another young Manchester United attacker who also had a fantastic performance and, from the perspective of predicting future performance, may have had the most important display of any starter on the Red Devils. Hojlund was one of world f...

EPL Top 3 Stars of the Week: Alejandro Garnacho joins Brighton, Aston Villa standouts

Here were the top three individual performers in the Premier League on the weekend of Matchday 8 of the 2024/25 season. Manchester United LW Alejandro Garnacho Alejandro Garnacho has been one of the gems of the 2024/25 Premier League season, and even though he is a pretty well-known name on Manchester United, it still feels like more people outside of Old Trafford should be singing the 20-year-old's praises. In a must-win 2-1 triumph over Brentford, Garnacho was irresistible on the left-hand side of the Manchester United attack, showing a lot more incisiveness and threat in that marquee position than veteran Marcus Rashford, who ended up having a key game on the right side himself. Garnacho has more than earned the opportunity to be a regular starter for Manchester United, whether ...

EPL Top 6 Table Predictions after Liverpool outlast Chelsea, Arsenal falter, and Brighton dig in

6. Brighton Brighton have a reputation for being a high-flying team that isn't afraid to go all-out attack and take risks to score goals, particularly against the big boys, so it was good to see them dig their heels in for a gritty 1-0 win over Newcastle. That win should seal the fact that Brighton have a better and more well-rounded squad than Newcastle, who seem to have overestimated their talent in each of the past two seasons. The issue is that when you tally up the goal differential, Brighton are behind both Chelsea and Tottenham in goal difference despite being ahead of both London powerhouses in the league table. I still like Brighton's chances of holding off Tottenham for the final spot in the top six, though, because with Carlos Baleba, they have a superior midfield. Spu...

Unai Emery offers Pau Torres some constructive criticism

Aston Villa star center back Pau Torres has been an unsurprising success at Villa Park since joining forces at the club with Unai Emery in 2023. Torres and Emery worked wonderfully together with Villarreal in La Liga, winning the Europa League over Manchester United in 2021. Torres has transitioned well to life in the Premier League, as the graceful giant has been one of Aston Villa's most consistent performers. He is world-class with the ball at his feet, passing and playmaking from deep just as he did in La Liga for several years. But everyone can improve in some aspects, and in Torres' case, he's earning a reputation for being a bit too passive in one-on-ones, especially compared to his peers in the Premier League. Following a big 3-1 win over Fulham, Emery offered some constru...

EPL Predictions: Tottenham take care of West Ham, Brighton threaten Newcastle, Liverpool dominate Chelsea

Tottenham vs. West Ham Tottenham’s devastating 3-2 loss to Brighton was the worst result for any Premier League team on Matchday 7 before the international break. The North London club blew a 2-0 lead to the Seagulls in the second half.  Manager Ange Postecoglou looked despondent after the match, and stressed that what he saw from his side was unacceptable. Admittedly, it’s a bit silly to say, but I can’t see this Tottenham side losing again after such an embarrassing loss. I don’t think ‘Big Ange’ will let them. It’s not just that though.  Son Heung-min is back from injury. Having their club captain back makes Spurs a totally different team on both sides of the ball. Tottenham’s opponents are another reason I’m confident about the Lilywhites’ chances this weekend.  West Ham have...

Aston Villa could sign the forward who is secretely the best player of the season so far

Aston Villa have an exceptionally talented group of attacking players, led by the striker partnership of Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran. They are so wealthy in attack at the moment that they can't get all their players on the pitch, with Duran scoring four Premier League goals without a single start. Beyond the strikers, Aston Villa also boast another massive breakout star in attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers, as well as wingers Jaden Philogene, Leon Bailey, and the underrated Jacob Ramsey. The average fan of world football likely overlooks the stars of the Aston Villa attack, but they have one of the most exciting offensive units in European football right now. Based on the latest transfer rumors, Aston Villa intend to get even richer up front, as they are eyeing a player who has ...

Aston Villa monitoring one of Europe’s breakout strikers

Aston Villa already have one of the best striker pairings in European football, as Jhon Duran has broken out to become quite the goal-scorer as an option off the bench for Ollie Watkins. Last season, Watkins already had a breakout of his own, establishing himself as one of the best strikers in Europe and one of the best players in the Premier League at any position with 19 goals and 13 assists. Despite already having two phenomenal strikers, it appears Aston Villa may not be done with assessing the market for opportunities at the position, which is actually a wise policy; nothing is for certain in the long term in football. Per a report from Caught Offside, Aston Villa are interested in 20-year-old Bologna striker Santiago Castro, who has stepped in as the main man in the 9 spot a...

Manchester United are making the sensible decision with Harry Maguire

Listen, there's no doubt that when we look back at the Harry Maguire transfer for Manchester United, the final verdict will be that the Red Devils never should have made the deal in the first place. Maguire joined Manchester United in 2019 for 87 million euros, which was a beyond exorbitant fee. At the time, Maguire was a very good center back who had proven himself internationally at a World Cup, but there was nothing remarkable about him. Manchester United paid twice the going rate for a center back of his quality, overpaying because he was English and because Leicester City were very, very good at inflating his value. A fee of 87 million euros is normally what you spend on a top attacking player, and even in this inflated market, it is exceedingly rare to see a center back go f...
