The 10 most expensive transfers from Ligue 1 to the Premier League of the 2010s decade

Ligue 1 carries the tagline "The League of Talents", which is pretty much their only claim to fame now that PSG have completely unbalanced the league from a competitive standpoint due to Qatar's ridiculous spending power. Perhaps Roberto De Zerbi can shift that paradigm with some smart underdog coaching at Marseille after previously turning Brighton into a Europa League side after they toiled in the Premier League mid-table for years. Ligue 1 may not be the most competitive league, but it's still producing top talents who fetch a pretty penny on the transfer market. Look no further than center back Leny Yoro, who joined Manchester United this summer from Lille for over 60 million euros after pretty much every big club wanted to sign him. The Premier League has always been a destin...

Ranking the 5 best Portugal players at Euro 2024

Very few teams at Euro 2024 have more individual talent than Portugal. A Seleção famously lifted the 2016 European Championship trophy. Since then, they have made it to the Round of 16 or better of every tournament they’ve played in. Here are the star players Portugal will be relying on this time around. 5. Cristiano Ronaldo (FW, Al Nassr) Love him or hate him, Ronaldo is still one of Portugal’s best players. Whether he’s the best fit for Roberto Martínez’s system is another question. Ronaldo started just one of Portugal’s three pre-tournament friendlies. He scored two goals in his lone start against Ireland, playing as a part of a front two with AC Milan’s Rafael Leao. The legendary striker also won the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot, scoring 35 goals in 31 matches. He mi...

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...

Ranking the 10 best midfielders available for transfer in summer 2023

With only the Conference League and Champions League finals set to be played, the 2022/23 season is winding down to a close and the focus is starting to turn to the 2022/23 transfer market. For the most part, strikers get most of the love on the transfer rumor mill, because goals are at a premium. However, midfielders are becoming increasingly coveted, as Real Madrid's recent big-money moves for Aurélien Tchouaméni and Jude Bellingham have shown us. So here are the best midfielders expected to be available on the summer 2023 transfer market. 10. Leon Goretzka, Bayern München: While Leon Goretzka did not have his best season in 2022/23, it wasn't long ago when he was one of the very best players in the Bundesliga, even before joining Bayern München. He helped carry Schalke to secon...
