  • Jarrad Branthwaite: Everton’s Young Gem in Central Defence

    England have a dilemma heading into this summer’s Euros.

  • How Elijah Adebayo Became the Cornerstone of Luton’s Attack

    Luton Town get the basics right and play to their strengths. There’s beauty in the simplicity, and in a team stacked full of redemption arcs and rags-to-riches stories, there’s little room for egos. It makes Luton’s one of the most compelling narratives in the Premier League, and one man with his head in the clouds but…

  • Conor Gallagher: The First Name on Mauricio Pochettino’s Team Sheet

    Conor Gallagher was eight years old when he joined Chelsea’s academy.

  • Luton Town’s Miraculous Rise to Premier League Stardom

    To start this article, I’d like to mention two numbers: 13 and 76. Why are they significant?

  • Billy Gilmour: Brighton’s Slick Scotsman Is on the Right Track

    It was so clear at the beginning. In 2020 – days before the nation dived into lockdown and with Frank Lampard in his first spell as Chelsea manager – Billy Gilmour announced himself at Stamford Bridge.    In an FA Cup match against Liverpool, the 18-year-old played with blinding maturity and elegance.

  • The Great Wall of Villa Park: Ezri Konsa

    Aston Villa began the Premier League season with a 5-1 defeat at Newcastle, with Tyrone Mings being stretchered off with a season-ending ACL injury.

  • Tosin Adarabioyo: Can Fulham Keep Hold of their Defensive Star?

    From winning the EFL Championship in 2021/22 to impressing in their return to the top-flight to reaching the EFL Cup semifinals for the first time in club history, it has certainly been a memorable spell at Fulham for Tosin Adarabioyo.

  • Lucas Paqueta: West Ham’s Brilliant Brazilian Playmaker

    It was only about a month ago when national media really stood up and took notice of just how important Lucas Paqueta had become to this West Ham team.
