Tottenham Hotspur head into the new Premier League season looking like a genuinely transformed side after an encouraging pre-season under Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian has brought a more progressive style of football to Spurs, with the team looking more defensively organised and showing greater intensity through the midfield areas. Supporters have responded enthusiastically to the early signs, with optimism around the club reaching levels not seen since Harry Kane’s departure some years ago. Kane’s exit proved to be a devastating blow for the Lilywhites, with the club falling into a prolonged period of decline that has taken considerable time…

Cardiff City snatch a stunning 1-1 Championship draw against Wrexham thanks to a last-gasp free-kick from Rubin Colwill in the eighth minute of added time. George Dobson brought down Joel Colwill on the edge of the box, handing his brother Rubin the opportunity to step up and deliver. Rubin Colwill lashed a brilliant free-kick over the wall and past Anthony Patterson to cancel out what looked like a certain Wrexham victory in the Welsh derby. The equaliser denied Wrexham their first win in the Welsh capital since 1992, a record that had looked set to finally end at Cardiff City…
Arsenal are preparing to kick off their season this Sunday when they face Manchester City in the FA Community Shield at 15:00 UK time. The match will be held at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which replaces Wembley Stadium as the traditional curtain raiser venue this year. Mikel Arteta is expected to name a strong starting lineup despite the Community Shield’s relatively modest standing compared to other major silverware. In goal, David Raya is expected to start after playing one half against Como in Arsenal’s most recent friendly fixture. Ben White could slot in at right back with Jurrien…
Nottingham Forest have joined the race to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap, potentially hijacking Premier League rivals Everton in the process. Reports from talkSPORT indicate that Delap is keen to remain in the Premier League beyond this summer transfer window. Chelsea have placed a £40m price tag on the striker, despite him enduring a difficult debut campaign at Stamford Bridge following his £30m arrival. Delap managed just one Premier League goal last season, averaging a modest 0.08 goals per 90 minutes as Joao Pedro displaced him from the starting XI. However, his previous form at Ipswich Town demonstrated his genuine…

United’s pursuit of a new centre-back comes amid significant defensive…
Arsenal are reportedly edging closer to making a concrete proposal to sign Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen, according to Football Insider. The 27-year-old Nigerian striker initially joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli before his deal was made permanent last summer. Osimhen had previously helped Napoli win the Serie A title before making the move to Turkish football, where he has continued to thrive. During the 2024/25 campaign, the striker was in remarkable form, scoring 37 goals and registering seven assists across 39 appearances in all competitions. Last season he also demonstrated his consistent output, contributing 28 goals and assists across 33…
Manchester United’s Premier League title ambitions this season depend heavily on how effectively they use the remaining weeks of the transfer window. Manager Michael Carrick has already brought in Karl Darlow, Andrey Santos, and Youri Tielemans, but further additions are clearly required before the deadline passes. United completed the £74m signing of striker Benjamin Sesko from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig last summer as part of a major recruitment drive at Old Trafford. The Slovenian international netted 11 league goals during his debut campaign, finishing as the club’s joint-top goalscorer and justifying the significant outlay made to secure him. However, the…
Burnley and West Ham served up a dramatic Championship opener that promised plenty of entertainment despite both clubs operating with significantly reduced budgets this season. Zian Flemming scored two late goals to earn Burnley a hard-fought point after the Hammers had appeared to be heading comfortably towards three points at Turf Moor. Maximilian Kilman and Manor Solomon had both found the net to give West Ham a seemingly commanding advantage heading into the final stages of the contest. Flemming pulled one back from the penalty spot before completing his comeback double by converting from a corner to silence the visitors…
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly agreed personal terms with Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, according to a report from TEAMtalk. The north London club have been active in the transfer market this summer as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season. Spurs currently have Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert as their specialist left-flank options, with Mohammed Kudus also capable of providing cover in that position. However, the squad depth in that area has been severely tested, with Odobert sidelined for an extended period due to a serious knee issue. Kudus has compounded the problem further, having been…
