Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United are flying high in the Premier League this season, with only Arsenal and Manchester City above them. Their form is in part due to their formidable back line, which has kept the most clean sheets in Europe’s top five leagues this term (12), conceding just 11 goals. Ahead of their Premier…
Tottenham Hotspur have endured an inconsistent campaign — and no player sums up their season quite as well as Son Heung-min.

The 21-year-old Argentine has been carefully watched by the European elite for some time now and proved just how good he is…
Dušan Vlahović has emerged as one of the most sought-after forwards in world football. This time last year, he’d netted just 11 times in Serie A in the 2,712 minutes he’d appeared in since the start of the 2019/20 season. Fast forward 12 months and the 21-year-old is now on 43 Serie A goals in…
