  • Fikayo Tomori – The Forward-Thinking Defender Constructed by Cobham, Made in Milan and Now Vying for an England Starting Spot

    The defensive lynchpin, and a vital cog in AC Milan’s youngest team to win the Serie A title, Fikayo Tomori has progressed massively since leaving Chelsea.   Playing the most minutes of any outfield player in Milan’s Scudetto-winning outfit, the importance of Tomori to Stefano Pioli’s side cannot be understated.

  • Vinicius Junior: The Brazilian Speedster with the World at his Feet

    Eyebrows were raised when Real Madrid poached 17-year-old Vinicius Jr from Flamengo in the summer of 2017 for an eye-watering €46 million.

  • Victor Osimhen: Napoli’s Nigerian Attacking Talisman

    The relationships between fans, players, and clubs in the world of football is one that I struggle to find similarities with when comparing to the sporting culture here in America.

  • Erick Gutierrez’s Redemption at PSV Eindhoven

    If PSV fans could have written off players before the start of the 2021/22 season, then Erick Gutierrez would have been almost undoubtedly on the top of that list. Somehow, ‘Guti’ has fought himself back into the starting eleven of PSV and was one of the most surprising and most reliable players throughout the latest…

  • Ousmane Dembélé’s Redemption Under Xavi and Why He Could Be a Massive Bargain in the Summer Window

    It has been a fairly underwhelming spell at FC Barcelona for Ousmane Dembele. Whether due to injuries, the lofty weight of his price tag, or the massive expectations of replacing a superstar like Neymar, the French winger has been unable to justify his fee across five years under Ernesto Valverde, Quique Setién, and Ronald Koeman.…
