Unai Emery could reunite with one of his best players at Villarreal

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has built something special in Birmingham, as the Lions reached the Champions League last season and have successively improved in each campaign under the Spanish coach. Emery, as much as he was panned at Arsenal, is one of the most acclaimed coaches in European football and a serial winner at the international cup level, boasting a bevy of Europa League success in Spain at two historic clubs in Sevilla and Villarreal. At his most recent stop, Villarreal, Emery helped develop some of European football's biggest gems, including one standout who traveled with him from Villarreal to Aston Villa in Pau Torres, a left-footed center back. Over the years, the transfer rumor mill has salivated at the prospect of Emery bringing someone else from Villarreal wi...

Tottenham are slamming the gas pedal for a very risky winter signing

Tottenham made a big statement on Wednesday night in the League Cup, outlasting Liverpool 1-0 to win the first leg of the semifinals behind some excellent midfield play, including a goal from Lucas Bergvall, and a brilliant assist from hold-up-play maven Dominic Solanke. The 65 million pound man came to Tottenham with a huge point to prove at that bloated price point, but Solanke has quickly become one of the most important players on Tottenham. Though Spurs have struggled this season compared to expectations and last season's fifth-placed finish, Solanke has been as-advertised as an all-around centerpiece who brings others into the game. That said, Tottenham are having trouble scoring the volume of goals they were hoping for, and that has led to them showing an interest in strike...

The biggest reason why Nico Williams isn’t going to Liverpool

Athletic Club left winger Nico Williams was already one of the biggest breakout stars in Spanish football during the 2022/23 season, and after following up a strong campaign with one that was just as good in 2023/24, Williams was clearly ready for the big time and already on the radar of the big clubs in his own country. But after lighting the European Championships alight across from teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, Williams, a champion with Spain, became the most in-demand left winger on the transfer market with suitors like Barcelona and Arsenal ready to pounce. Williams ultimately chose to stay loyal to the Basque and brother Iñaki, and while his performances have cooled just slightly this season, the 22-year-old remains one of the best wingers in LaLiga - and still on the radar o...

Tottenham trying hard to bring a high-profile transfer flop back to the Premier League

Tottenham just saw one of their best midfielders, Rodrigo Bentancur, go down with what seemed like a serious injury in the early minutes of their eventual 1-0 League Cup triumph over Premier League leaders Liverpool. Spurs have a few quality pieces in midfield in converted winger Dejan Kulusevski, young prospects Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, rising star Pape Sarr, and box-to-box worker Yves Bissouma. But there's a general feeling that in order to get back to the Champions League level, Tottenham need to make a big splash in the midfield by signing someone who can both defend and make plays. According to a report from Diario AS in Spain, Tottenham, as well as Fulham, are pushing harder than any other clubs in the Premier League to bring Douglas Luiz back to English football. ...

The Edson Alvarez transfer news West Ham are itching to hear

West Ham have been a train wreck this season, somehow taking a sizable step backwards from where they were last season after they suffered through a putrid second half of the season, leading to the iconic David Moyes's dismissal. Moyes looks like a fallen angel compared to the torment West Ham have been through over the last few months, as the ill-advised Julen Lopetegui appointment has, as any faithful LaLiga observer could have predicted, blown up spectacularly in the faces of the Hammers' decision-makers. But Lopetegui is now out and Graham Potter is in, giving West Ham a clear upgrade at the manager position. Potter, after all, first orchestrated the rise of success that Brighton enjoy today. Now, West Ham need to clean house and have a productive winter transfer window, and o...

Aston Villa offered a chance to revive one of the world’s best CBs

Aston Villa are shorthanded in central defense right now, as one of their most important players, Pau Torres, fractured his metatarsal and will be out for the first two months to start 2025. Torres is one of the best center backs in the Premier League, so this is obviously a tough blow for the Lions, who are now looking for reinforcements in the January 2025 transfer window so that they can compete in the last six months of the season and maintain their standing as a Champions League side. According to a report from the Daily Mail, Aston Villa have been offered the opportunity to sign PSG star Milan Skriniar, who is one of the biggest names on the transfer market at center back. Skriniar was once one of the best center backs in the world at Inter Milan, winning the Scudetto in 202...

Aston Villa’s next rumored sale means CB will be an even bigger transfer need

Aston Villa have two of the best center backs in the Premier League in Pau Torres and Ezri Konsa, both of whom have proven themselves as stars on an international level. But only one of them is healthy for the foreseeable future, as Torres suffered a fractured metatarsal about a week ago, leaving Aston Villa shorthanded entering the new year. Hence why Aston Villa are being linked to potential center back transfer targets. Their need in central defense may be increased by their own doing, though, as the Lions are close to making a high-profile sale. According to a report from the Daily Mail, Aston Villa are confident that they will finally be able to offload Brazilian central defender Diego Carlos, whom they tried hard to sell last year. Aston Villa believe they will be able to...

The 10 best possible Premier League January 2025 signings

Will Manchester United get reinforcements for Ruben Amorim? Can Arsenal land the striker they need to compete for the Premier League title? And will Jack Grealish revive his career with a move to Tottenham? Here are the 10 best possible Premier League January 2025 signings to look out for. Donyell Malen to Aston Villa Aston Villa have been working hard to sign former Euro 2020 standout Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund, and things have gotten to a point where the Champions League Finalist has actually agreed to terms with the Lions, so all that is left is for the two clubs to come to terms, which could involve new Villa signing Ian Maatsen heading back to the Bundesliga. Malen is a frustratingly inconsistent player, but the high are very high. And Unai Emery has a penchant for gett...

Ranking the 10 best players on the January 2025 transfer market

Open season has begun, and with teams now free to make their moves, let's take a look at the best players on the January 2025 transfer market. Young players angling for more playing time, failed transfers looking for a change in scenery, superstars struggling to gain a foothold (or looking for more money), and newly minted stars ready for the next step are all among the profiles of the notable names looking to secure a move in the upcoming winter transfer window. There are a number of gems who could make a move either this month or on a pre-agreement for June, such as Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold, whereas there are others who are easy rumor mill fodder for the papers but less likely to leave (Mohamed Salah). Looking at only those with a realistic shot at leaving this wint...
