3 superstar left wingers Chelsea can sign to complete their attack

Everyone expects Chelsea to make a strong play for another striker this summer after realizing that the transfer gamble on Nicolas Jackson last year was far from adequate in addressing this gaping hole in the attack. But with Mykhaylo Mudryk still struggling to live up to his nine figure price tag, Chelsea are just as in need of a superstar left winger as they are a star striker who can complete their attack. Chelsea have one true top talent in Cole Palmer and likely two if Christopher Nkunku can stay healthy. And if Estevao Willian plays to his talent level, Chelsea will have a third big star in their attack.

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.

5 surprising superstar signings for Manchester United in summer 2024 transfer window

INEOS is taking over at Manchester United, and the fans are hoping the new ownership group is serious about injecting actual world-class talent into the floundering project at Old Trafford. Here are five surprising names Manchester United could bring into the fold to greatly increase their chances of returning to Champions League football in 2025. Bayern Munich RW Leroy Sane Quietly, Leroy Sane has just one year left on his contract and will be a free agent in 2025, meaning Bayern Munich will have to extend him this summer or sell him to avoid losing one of their best players for free. Manchester United need to be all over Sane as a potential market opportunity, because even though the German international is expected to extend with Bayern Munich, that hasn't happened yet, even tho...

3 superstars Barcelona can sign to respond to Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe transfer

It has been a while since Barcelona have signed a superstar player who is truly in his prime. Both Ilkay Gundogan and Robert Lewandowski are proven, Champions League-winning legends of the game, but both have signed with the Blaugrana when they are well past the age of 30. Meanwhile, Barcelona are watching their bitter rivals Real Madrid bring in the biggest superstar on the planet, Kylian Mbappe, to join a side that already has two players who would argue that they are the biggest superstars on the planet, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior. Barcelona do not have the economic means to pull in players like Mbappe right now, but they can still maneuver to snag one superstar this summer, so long as they make the right sales. Here are three possible candidates for the Blaugrana in s...
