Fabrizio Romano spilled the tea on Maxence Lacroix to Chelsea transfer

Chelsea needed to sign a top center back last season but failed to do so, and the ensuing fallout cost the club Enzo Maresca, who is now replacing Pep Guardiola for Manchester City, and led to a spiraling in results that the former manager had predicted. So far, the Blues are cleaning house at center back, with Trevoh Chalobah potentially headed to Como in Serie A or another club, while Como are also interested in young Mamadou Sarr on loan. What Chelsea need, though, is an established, proven Premier League starter at center back. Maxence Lacroix, who has stepped out of the shadow of former Chelsea man Marc Guehi after the latter's big winter move to Manchester City, has been on the radar. And now, Fabrizio Romano has an updated report on the underrated Frenchman. Fab says that C...

Ranking the 5 best young Premier League midfielders of the season

Everyone is so busy ripping apart the current Premier League for not being as good as it was, but instead of getting swept up in nostalgia, let's actually appreciate some of the young guns who are rising in this league. Here are five young, under 23 center midfielders who are balling out right now. 5. Tim Iroegbunam, Everton The Everton midfielders have been crazy underrated this season. Jack Garner is legitimately one of the best midfielders in European football right now, and the 22 year old defensive mid Tim Iroegbunam who, sometimes, starts next to him is also worth a shout. Now, Iroegbunam is way too inconsistent to be even remotely considered one of the top overall midfielders in the Premier League, but when he is on his A game, he is tremendous. There are only a handful of midf...

Burnley 0-1 Bournemouth Sunderland 1-1 Brighton Chelsea 2-2 Newcastle Chelsea are reeling after Filip Jorgensen gifted PSG a 5-2 win in the Champions League, while Newcastle could only draw Barcelona despite outplaying them. This matchup is going to be too close to call between these two top five contenders in the Premier League, and they will ultimately share the spoils.

Can he bounce back? Arsenal 1-0 Everton Arsenal did not perform well against Baye...

Ranking the top 10 creators in the 2025/26 Premier League season based on stats

The chance creators don't often get the same praise as the goal scorers, but the players in Premier League history who have often captured imagination have been the ones making the beautiful assists, like Kevin De Bruyne and Mesut Ozil in recent years. Using only statistics to guide our evaluation, let's take a look at the best creators of the 2025/26 Premier League season so far. I used expected assists, key passes, and big chances created to produce this top 10. 10.

Most people agree that the Premier League has ascended all the other leagues in European football with the most money, production value, drama, and individual quality than the rest. Where the Premier League's difference in quality truly shines out the most than at any other position is at center back, where clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal have an embarrassment of riches at the position - and that is not even including all the great underrated defenders at smaller clubs beyond the Big Six.
