Liverpool are in the lead to sign world football’s biggest breakout star

Liverpool are the clear frontrunners in the Premier League title race now, as they took full advantage of slip-ups from Manchester City and Arsenal to post a come from behind 2-1 victory over Brighton. Mohamed Salah, as he so often does, proved to be the difference with a brilliant solo goal, cutting in from the right side in customary fashion. The Egyptian icon avenged several brutal fouls from Brighton to prove, once again, why he is the best player in the Premier League. As the months roll on, Salah remains without a new contract with Liverpool, and while the only sensible decision is for the 32-year-old to remain at Anfield until he retires, the Reds have to be prepared for the worst. Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo are on the shortlist of targets on the right wing, but perha...

Transfer Rumors: Tottenham high on one of world football’s most intriguing left wingers

Tottenham finished fifth in the Premier League last season, and they are firmly pushing to return to the Champions League under new manager Ange Postecoglou, who has lit a fire under the club since replacing Antonio Conte. Currently, Spurs are led by Son Heung-min, who, at 32, remains one of the best players in the entire Premier League. He is a great finisher from the left wing position with a ton of experience, and he still has speed to burn. After signing well-rounded English striker Dominic Solanke this summer, Son has been able to return to the left wing, which is the position he's best in despite a strong season overall at the 9 in 2023/24. Despite Son still being a big threat in the Premier League, Tottenham are after a young left winger who can get minutes behind the South...

Manchester United are already after their first Ruben Amorim transfer target

Manchester United have hired Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim as their Erik ten Hag replacement, as the highly-coveted Portuguese manager will officially take over the club on Nov. 11 from interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. Amorim was wanted by clubs as big as Tottenham and Liverpool in the past, and he appeared to be close to the Reds last summer as the Jurgen Klopp replacement before ultimately turning the job down. In fact, Amorim turned down a lot of gigs, including the Brighton job as Roberto De Zerbi's replacement, before deciding to take the Manchester United opening after Ten Hag got the sack this season. Amorim appears to relish the responsibility of lifting Manchester United out of a dark period - a task that not even three legendary managers could do in Jose Mourinho,...

Tottenham could lose an underrated player to one of their former coaches

Tottenham just missed out on returning to the Champions League under Ange Postecoglou last season in his first campaign at the helm, as even without Harry Kane, the former Celtic manager got Spurs back on track and injected some much-needed optimism into the club. This past summer, Tottenham signed a new striker in Dominic Solanke to work with the likes of Son Heung-min and James Maddison in the attack, as Spurs aim to boost their goal-scoring juice. They've already figured out their defense, as they have one of the strongest back lines in the Premier League with the elite duo of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven flanked by Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro, all in front of a talented goalkeeper in ex-Empoli man Guglielmo Vicario. Tottenham have gone to the Serie A well frequently...

Liverpool want to sign two Premier League breakout stars to replace Mohamed Salah

After coming from behind to take down one of the Premier League's most exciting sides in Brighton, Liverpool are now firmly in the driver's seat in the Premier League after both Arsenal and Newcastle lost that very Saturday afternoon. Liverpool look like an even more dangerous team under Arne Slot in 2024/25, as the Dutch manager has morphed Ryan Gravenberch into a world-class midfielder while getting more out of two more top talents in left wingers Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz. Despite Diaz and Gakpo shining across from Mohamed Salah on the wings in the Liverpool front three, the Reds are still in need of some more attacking firepower, specifically at striker. Jurgen Klopp's favorite child, Darwin Nunez, appears to be taking another step back this season. He's scored just one goal an...

Once again, a former flop proves he’s now Chelsea’s second-biggest asset after Cole Palmer

Once again, a former flop proves he’s now Chelsea’s second-biggest asset after Cole Palmer

Chelsea didn't have their best stuff at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, but they were able to grind out a point with a 1-1 draw against Manchester United in the first match of the post-Erik ten Hag era. The Blues suffered and surrendered a goal in the 70th minute of the match to Bruno Fernandes after Rasmus Hojlund won the spot kick, but they had a hero there to equalize less than five minutes later. So often, that hero is attacker Cole Palmer, who broke out in his first season at Stamford Bridge to become one the best players in the Premier League and the first footballer since Eden Hazard to be viewed as a future Ballon d'Or candidate. Except on this day, it wasn't Palmer who stood out as the goal-scoring hero and the star of the game for Chelsea, but rather that honor goes to...

Manchester United’s secret best player of the season stars again

Manchester United vs. Chelsea was tabbed as the biggest game to watch in European football this weekend, but it ended up being a putrid game of football for the neutral fan. In the end, as pundit and Man United legend Paul Scholes quipped, it ended up being a deserved 1-1 draw for two high-priced sides whose quality on the pitch pales in comparison to the finances it took to assemble both squads. Manchester United can be pleased to get a point off a team contending for the Champions League, as they are shifting gears to welcoming a new manager on Nov. 11 with Ruben Amorim set to take over after a disastrous start to the season orchestrated by now former manager Erik ten Hag. Despite the dismal performances from Man United, who sit in the bottom half of the Premier League table, th...

The Tottenham star who keeps proving us all wrong

Tottenham made a statement to the entire Premier League on Sunday afternoon that they are coming for a top-four spot, as Ange Postecoglou's men made one of the most impressive sides of the 2024/25 Champions League look like a youth team. Spurs dominated Aston Villa 4-1, and the difference in class among both entire starting lineups in this one was staggering, even as Villa were tabbed as favorites coming into the match. No player made a bigger difference for Tottenham than Dominic Solanke, as the experienced Premier League striker scored twice to help Spurs pull away from Unai Emery's men. It was another hard-working and well-rounded performance from Solanke, who was signed by Tottenham this past summer precisely because he is willing to work for the team defensively through press...

Let’s give credit to Tottenham’s unsung hero in 4-1 blowout win over Aston Villa

Tottenham were the story of the weekend in the Premier League, blowing out Aston Villa 4-1 on Sunday in a matchup between two sides competing for the same goal, a top-four place in the league. After missing out on the Conference League and Champions League to Villa in the last two seasons, Spurs' three-goal margin victory over Unai Emery's side felt that much sweeter. Son Heung-min nabbed another assist to his name, James Maddison scored off the bench to quiet a few doubters, and striker Dominic Solanke shined brightly again with a brace. But there is one underrated player on Tottenham who deserves a little love from the mainstream for his industrious efforts in a vital midfield performance to send Spurs to victory. Pape Sarr is a crucial player for Tottenham as maybe the only ...

West Ham closer to canning Julen Lopetegui and have a risky replacement in mind

David Moyes achieved a great deal at West Ham and, at times, had the Hammers playing beautiful football, so it wasn't necessarily a universally popular move when the club decided to move on from the Premier League veteran at the end of the 2023/24 season. West Ham, in truth, were horrible in the second half of the campaign, so you can understand why many fans grew impatient with the combination of poor results and putrid play on the pitch. Unfortunately for West Ham, they are probably regretting the decision, and even if firing Moyes at the time was the right choice, it's clear that they replaced him with the wrong guy. Julen Lopetegui has taken West Ham several steps back so far in 2024/25, and the Hammers have become completely unwatchable despite having a talented squad after a...
