Ranking the 9 best goal-scoring Bundesliga seasons of the 2020s decade so far

Even though the Bundesliga season is actually the shortest of any top five league since there are only 18 teams in the first division, meaning every team plays four fewer games per season, the German top flight has become known for gaudy goal-scoring statistics. But in case anyone keeps trying to apply the "Bundesliga tax" to downplay the accomplishments of top strikers in German football, Erling Haaland quickly dispelled that notion by breaking the single-season Premier League goals record in his first season with Manchester City, scoring more goals (36) than he ever did with Borussia Dortmund. Haaland is actually the only Dortmund player who scored at least 20 goals in a single season in the 2020s decade, and while there's only been four completed seasons in the 2020s, that speaks ...

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...

The 5 best striker transfer targets for Chelsea in the summer 2024 window

Chelsea unearthed one of the best players in the Premier League last season with summer 2023 signing Cole Palmer from Manchester City, and he is a potential perennial source of 20 goals after rattling off 22 for the Blues last season. But Chelsea still don't have a top striker to lead the line. Fellow summer 2023 addition Nicolas Jackson showed signs of growth at the end of his first Chelsea campaign, but he still seems to be too inconsistent to be a true superstar striker in the Premier League. As Chelsea continue to look at options on the open market at striker, here are their five best bets in the summer 2024 transfer window. Victor Osimhen, Napoli Napoli star Victor Osimhen is reportedly no longer a transfer target for Chelsea, but he could still become one again in the future ...

5 players Liverpool need to sign after Europa League humiliation vs. Atalanta

No team disappointed more in the Europa League quarterfinals than Liverpool, who were embarrassed almost beyond belief by Gianluca Scamacca and Atalanta in the first leg, falling 3-0 at Anfield, no less, to a team that is barely holding on to a Conference League spot in Serie A. Atalanta are no newcomers to the big stage in European football, as they have been a Champions League knockout side in the past. But only two years ago, Liverpool were finalists and are currently one of three teams vying for the Premier League title. Liverpool could only muster a 1-0 win in the second leg in Bergamo, exiting the Europa League of Jurgen Klopp's final season at the helm without so much as a whimper on the way out. The defeat to Atalanta is a reminder that Liverpool, despite a strong summer o...

Ranking the 10 best strikers in 2023/24: Inter Milan duo join Barça’s Lewandowski, Bayern’s Kane

Nobody generates more headlines than the players who score the goals. Most clubs with aspirations of winning trophies require a man up top who can consistently find the back of the net, with very few exceptions existing in the history of world football. But who are the best strikers on the planet right now? Let's rank the top 10, based on a combination of pedigree and performance in the 2023/24 season, more heavily weighing recent performances. Because sport is a "what have you done for me lately?" business. Note that only out-and-out strikers were included, so players like Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé who share time between positions or players like Vinícius Júnior who are wingers playing as left-sided forwards did not count. 10. Marcus Thuram, Inter Milan Marcus Thuram ...
