EPL burning questions: Arsenal’s title hopes, Jadon Sancho flops, Rasmus Hojlund shines

Is Arsenal's status as Premier League title contenders at risk? What can Chelsea count on from Jadon Sancho? And how good is Manchester United strike Rasmus Hojlund? Read on as I attempt to answer these three burning questions from three of the Premier League's biggest clubs. Is Rasmus Hojlund better than everyone thinks? Manchester United's best player in their all-important 2-1 win over Brentford, in which Erik ten Hag's job was very likely on the line, was undoubtedly young attacker Alejandro Garnacho on the left wing. But Rasmus Hojlund was another young Manchester United attacker who also had a fantastic performance and, from the perspective of predicting future performance, may have had the most important display of any starter on the Red Devils. Hojlund was one of world f...

It took one game for Chelsea to make Erik ten Hag look like a fool with Jadon Sancho transfer

For just 25 million pounds at a maximum, Chelsea can sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United permanently at the end of the season, and after just one game, it looks like the Blues will gladly deposit that check to the bank. Only the most deluded of Manchester United fans who are all too willing to turn against club legends like Cristiano Ronaldo in order to drink the most foul of Kool-Aids concocted by Erik ten Hag believed the dross that Sancho was a locker room cancer and a flop of a player. All it took was a competent viewer of this sport to understand that Borussia Dortmund were 10 times better with Sancho back in their ranks, and he put his full talents on display in the Champions League semifinals by outshining PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe to lift BVB to the Final. At Chelse...

The best possible Chelsea starting lineup with Jadon Sancho

As was rumored for about a week, Chelsea have secured the signing of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United, acquiring one of England's most talented wingers on loan with an unknown obligation to buy attached. The move brings a proven Champions League commodity to Chelsea, and Sancho is capable of getting starts on either wing, with the left wing actually being the most pressing need in light of Mykhaylo Mudryk's inconsistency. Chelsea are beyond loaded on the flanks with Sancho entering the fray. Here is a look at how the Blues could potentially line up with the talented 24-year-old from Dortmund in the XI. Defense GK Filip Jorgensen - The new signing should be the nailed-on starter in goal ahead of Robert Sanchez, even if Enzo Maresca bizarrely wants to stick with the carryover star...

Chelsea get boost in pursuit of Manchester United superstar

Chelsea have spent over 100 million euros on new forwards Pedro Neto and Joao Felix, who both combined for a goal in the Blues' statement-making 6-2 drubbing of Wolves. That win could set the tone for the rest of the season to follow, as Chelsea now have high hopes that new manager Enzo Maresca can bring out the best in what is a very talented squad. Chelsea could be adding more top talent to the attack, too, with interest in star strikers Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney, but the Blues are also seemingly intent on further stockpiling their wide forward options. They have joined Juventus with serious interest in Manchester United superstar winger Jadon Sancho, who is capable of starting on the left or the right side of the attack. Chelsea have been hoping to complete a swap deal w...

Chelsea have to nix the dream scenario swap deal for Jadon Sancho

Chelsea are highly interested in making a fourth major splash in the winger market this summer, even though their attack is already showing signs of renewed vigor under Enzo Maresca after dropping a six-burger on Wolves this past weekend. After adding Portuguese stars Pedro Neto and Joao Felix, Chelsea have their eyes on Manchester United superstar Jadon Sancho, who is on the outs at Old Trafford due to his acrimonious relationship with manager Erik ten Hag. As of right now, Chelsea are exploring potential swap deals with Manchester United in order to acquire Sancho, hoping that the Red Devils will reduce the winger's asking price by accepting a player the Blues no longer want anyway. Veteran Premier League winger Raheem Sterling is Chelsea's ideal candidate, as he no longer has a...

Chelsea have a dastardly swap deal in mind for Jadon Sancho

Chelsea have joined Juventus in the race to sign Manchester United star winger Jadon Sancho, who will almost certainly leave the club this summer after a public falling out with manager Erik ten Hag. Although Man United considered firing ten Hag after an eighth-placed finish in the 2023/24 season, new ownership group INEOS decided to give him a second chance after he qualified for European football by virtue of winning the FA Cup. That has left Sancho outside the door of Old Trafford, and while Juve have been the only side pushing for a permanent solution, the Bianconeri have been unable to secure a deal for the English winger because of financial juggling. Chelsea have already spent over 150 million euros on attacking players this summer, reuniting with Joao Felix on a permanent ...

One thing needs to happen for Jadon Sancho to join Juventus

Manchester United superstar winger Jadon Sancho hasn't had a future at the club since falling out with manager Erik ten Hag, and the Red Devils finally admitted the situation was untenable when they loaned the English winger to Borussia Dortmund. That was where Sancho first made a name for himself before joining Man United, as Sancho was one of the best players in European football during his time with BVB, recording double-digit assists in three separate seasons. Now, Sancho is headed for a permanent move away from Old Trafford after shining with Dortmund in the second half of the 2023/24 season, heroically leading BVB to the Champions League Final after outshining current Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe in the semifinals vs. PSG. Juventus are the club showing the most intere...

Chelsea considering swap deal for Manchester United superstar

Chelsea set the Premier League ablaze on Sunday with a statement-making 6-2 win over Wolves, outperforming their xG for a change as Enzo Maresca's masterplan is seemingly coming together after a preseason full of forceful criticism of his tactics. Noni Madueke made the strongest statement of them all, responding to transfer rumors with a hat trick and an assist, while 2023/24 Premier League Player of the Season candidate Cole Palmer continued his brilliance with a goal and a hat-trick of assists. Nicolas Jackson scored a brace to hint at a bigger sophomore season at Stamford Bridge, while new acquisitions Pedro Neto and Joao Felix even got into the act, combining for a sweet goal in the final minutes. Despite the new attacking acquisitions, including phenom Estevao Willian next su...

Chelsea could swoop in for one of Manchester United’s best players

Chelsea have been the most aggressive team on the transfer market since the Todd Boehly takeover two years ago, and although the Blues haven't made any 100 million pound signings this summer, their aggression has remained high with some more high-profile additions. It seems like the wings have been the main target for Chelsea, who brought in Brazilian phenom Estevao Willian early in the window, and he could go down as the best signing of the lot, given his long-term upside. "Messinho" set Chelsea back 66 million euros, and yet the Blues still made two more expensive attacking signings besides their biggest need at the 9, inking Atletico Madrid playmaker Joao Felix for 52 million euros and then Wolves star Pedro Neto for 60 million euros. That's three potentially world-class winger...

The latest Juventus transfer rumors and news updates you need to know for summer 2024 window

Here are all the biggest Juventus transfer rumors and news updates you need to know for the summer 2024 window, sorted in order of recency. 7/7: Juventus in talks for Jadon Sancho Report: According to a report from journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Juventus engaged in detailed discussions with Jadon Sancho's agent. There is "strong" mutual interest in getting a deal done, but, right now, Juve have other priorities. Analysis: The other priorities are likely elsewhere in the squad as they relate to acquiring Atalanta star Teun Koopmeiners and then potentially Jakub Kiwior of Arsenal as an alternative to Riccardo Calafiori, who is effectively choosing the Premier League over Serie A. Sancho would come in as the Federico Chiesa replacement, and if last season is anything to go off of, Sancho...
