The unsurprising reason why Michael Olise has chosen Bayern Munich over Chelsea, Newcastle, and Man Utd

Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle United were three powerful Premier League clubs interested in signing one of the league's best attacking players, Crystal Palace breakout star Michael Olise. Yet at the end of the day, as reported by top Premier League transfer insider David Ornstein, Olise has chosen a club outside the Premier League, as he is set to push Crystal Palace to agree to a 70 million euro transfer, per his release clause, to Bayern Munich. Although Bayern did not win the Bundesliga for the first time since 2011/12, they reached the Champions League semifinals and will be in the Champions League next season. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Newcastle all finished outside the top four and will not be competing in the Champions League. Chelsea were in sixth, Newcas...

The 10 best players Chelsea could sign on the summer 2024 transfer market

Chelsea have been the most active team on the transfer market since Todd Boehly took over the club in 2022, but, for the most part, Blues' fans have been treated to poor results. There were signs of improvement last season, though, because Chelsea brought in two players who were legitimately among the best at their respective positions in the Premier League. Cole Palmer is legitimately a Premier League Player of the Season candidate, while right back Malo Gusto ranks among the best right backs on the planet right now. Chelsea finished well outside the top four for yet another season, but with the right moves, there is optimism that the London-based club can get back to European football's premier competition. Here are the 10 best overall players Chelsea could sign in the summer...

A top RW Manchester United can sign for a lot less than Michael Olise

Manchester United will have to make some more upgrades to their attack this summer, as only attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes stood out as a consistent contributor to goals in the 2023/24 season. At his best, Marcus Rashford is also a world-class attacking player in the Premier League, and there is hope Alejandro Garnacho can be just good in a few years. Rasmus Hojlund is a promising young striker, too, while there remains hope of a Jadon Sancho reunion if Manchester United were to divest from current manager Erik ten Hag. All of that still leaves a hole on the right wing, as Antony appears to be on his way to the bench, even if Manchester United aren't able to keep Sancho around. Antony struggled to make an impact last season and often frustrated fans with his aimless dribb...

Premier League Young Player of the Season Rankings: Michael Olise joins the elite, Jarrad Branthwaite sneaks in

The 2023/24 Premier League season will come to a close after two (or three) more matches are played by each team, and the title race is even more nail-biting than it was last season. As the season winds down, it's time to take stock of the best players in the league, and here is a special focus on the best young players of the 2023/24 Premier League season. Whereas the official awards sponsored by Hublot looked at players older than 23, this list will be a U23 list, making it a little more focused on top young talent. There are still a couple of legitimate overall Premier League Player of the Season candidates in here, but the likes of Erling Haaland and Phil Foden have been filtered out. So here are the best young players of the 2023/24 Premier League season. 5. Everton CB ...
