[ad_1] For 11 years, Ben Mee was the lynchpin in a mean Burnley backline. In his seven Premier League seasons with the Clarets, he grew a reputation as one of the division’s more consistent centre-backs. You knew what you were getting. You didn’t want to play against Burnley. You didn’t want to go to Turf Moor. Mee was a big part of that sentiment. Burnley bit off a little more than they could chew last term, and were relegated back to the Championship on the final day of the season. “Leaving Burnley was tough after a long time being there. 11 years is a goodRead More →

Madueke was born in north London and started his football career in the academies at Crystal Palace and Tottenham, before joining PSV at the age of 16.

[ad_1] Manchester City will be desperate for a comfortable and uneventful victory at home to Wolves when they take on the West Midlands side on Sunday afternoon. There has been far too much chaos and inconsistency for Pep Guardiola’s liking in recent weeks and it seemed to come to a head with his post-match comments after the Tottenham match. City know that any more slip-ups could hand the title to Arsenal and they will also be in the knowledge that Arsenal are up against Manchester United, meaning dropped points there are very possible. This is the side that Guardiola might deploy to ensure he getsRead More →

He inspired the American team to third on the table with 25 points in 14 games to clinch a ticket to the international tournament for the first time since 2014.  Despite years of dreaming, nothing could have prepared Ferreira for the sport’s biggest stage.  “[The World Cup] was amazing. As a kid, you grow up watchingRead More →

[ad_1] Solly March has always had talent. Five Brighton managers over the past decade have acknowledged that by having him as a mainstay of their Albion sides, from Oscar Garcia who handed March his debut in 2013 through Sami Hyypia, Chris Hughton, and Graham Potter to Roberto De Zerbi in the present day. What March has missed in the past is belief, sometimes to the frustration of Seagulls supporters. Yes, he is a great player. But he could be even better. This lack of self-confidence could be used to partly explain why March had scored only 14 times for Brighton from 157 starts and 95Read More →

[ad_1] Chelsea manager Graham Potter has hinted new signing Mykhailo Mudryk could make his debut in this weekend’s clash with Liverpool. Mudryk completed his big-money transfer to Stamford Bridge from Shakhtar Donetsk on Sunday, signing a whopping eight-and-a-half-year contract. The 22-year-old has already been getting to know his new teammates in training and with a testing trip to Anfield coming this Saturday to face Liverpool, fans are naturally wondering whether or not Mudryk could make his debut.

[ad_1] Memphis Depay has completed his move from Barcelona to Atletico Madrid, penning a two-and-a-half-year contract. The 28-year-old arrived at Camp Nou in the summer of 2021, following the expiration of his Lyon contract, and signed a two-year deal. But the Dutchman was never able to command a regular place in Barcelona’s side and his opportunities have been further limited this season after Robert Lewandowski’s arrival from Bayern Munich. Memphis has only played in four games in all competitions during 2022/23 and it was no secret that Barcelona were willing to let him go if an interested party was willing to take on his heftyRead More →
