Chelsea have found an obvious first-choice winger transfer target in summer 2026

Chelsea already added Joao Pedro and Estevao Willian to their attack this past summer transfer window, as well as young wingers Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho, but Iliman Ndiaye may be the wide man they were looking for. Liam Rosenior is coaxing the best football out of Cole Palmer again, and when he, Pedro, and Estevao are all healthy, they form one of the best attacking trios in European football. The thing is, Chelsea need one more winger to complete the group, and their preference should be an out-and-out player who can consistently beat Premier League-level defenders with pace, trickery, creativity, and intelligence. On Monday night football, Ndiaye and Everton may have lost 1-0 to a Benjamin Sesko-led Manchester United, but even in getting shutout, Ndiaye impress...

Arsenal were initially favored to sign Benjamin Sesko while Manchester United were expected to reunite Ruben Amorim and Gyokeres, but, in the end, the Gunners and Gyokeres wanted each other more than the other options. So far this season, Gyokeres is leading all the major striker signings this summer 2025 transfer window in the goal charts in all competitions, with Chelsea's new star Joao Pedro and Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike right behind him with 14 goals to the big Swede's 15. 1.

Ranking the 10 biggest stars in the Premier League in 2026

The Premier League is the biggest league in world football, and the gap between the English top flight and all the other top five European leagues is only increasing in terms of both fan support and financial power. Nowadays, the biggest names are no longer in the Italian league, and while the biggest attacking superstars are still in La Liga, the Premier League is closing the gap on them, too, especially when looking outside Real Madrid and Barcelona. While talent is becoming more concentrated in the Big Six - which is quietly becoming more of a Big Five - of the Premier League these days, too, the overall star power in England still feels like it is growing overall. Instead of ranking the 10 best players in the Premier League solely based on numbers or on who is the best actual ...

The 10 biggest transfer bargains of the 2025/26 Premier League season

We are more than halfway done with the 2025/26 Premier League season, and now it makes sense to take a look back at the summer transfer window at how the new faces in the league have gotten along with their teams. Here are 10 transfers from the summer that have proven to be the biggest bargains of the season thus far, shaping title races, European battles, and relegation fights in the 2025/26 campaign. Cristhian Mosquera to Arsenal, 15M If you ask me, Cristhian Mosquera was definitely the best bargain of the summer 2025 transfer window, because Arsenal pounced on an excellent young center back who was playing at a high level in La Liga, snatching the proverbial cat out of the bag long before their competitors had even heard of Mosquera's exploits in Spain. And all Mosquera has do...
