Chelsea are reportedly plotting a move to sign AS Monaco forward Folarin Balogun, according to Caught Offside, amid growing transfer interest from across Europe. The 24-year-old came through Arsenal’s Hale End academy before embarking on a loan spell that would accelerate his development and raise his profile significantly. Balogun caught the eye during the 2022/23 season at Stade de Reims, where he scored 22 goals and registered two assists across 39 appearances in all competitions. Arsenal ultimately decided against keeping him, opting instead to sell the striker to Monaco, where he has continued to grow as a top-level forward. After…

The American coach, appointed in 2024, became the first manager to take Canada into the World Cup’s knockout stages, a remarkable milestone for the nation’s football program. Despite being an American himself, Marsch made clear he has little interest in how…
West Bromwich Albion have made an energetic start to the summer transfer window as they look to strengthen their Championship squad significantly.

West Brom scored just 48 goals in 46 Championship matches last season, barely exceeding one per game, and failed to score in three of their final…

Rogers joined Aston Villa from Middlesbrough and has since developed into one of the most exciting young players in English football. Last season, he made 55 appearances across all competitions, contributing 14 goals and 11 assists as Villa lifted the Europa League trophy. His performances have also earned him a regular place in Thomas…
Manchester United’s pursuit of Elliot Anderson has come to a definitive end, with Manchester City agreeing a reported £116m fee for the Nottingham Forest midfielder. That staggering figure makes Anderson the joint-second biggest transfer in Premier League history, alongside Florian Wirtz, putting United’s hopes firmly to bed. City have been in pole position for Anderson for some time, and the deal has now progressed to the point where a fee between the two clubs has been agreed. For United, the attention now turns to finding a comparable midfield option at a more manageable price point in this transfer window. One…
