Nicolas Jackson [43]

Former Liverpool defender turned pundit Alan Hansen once famously said, “You can’t win anything with kids”. Whilst that proverb ultimately came back to bite the Scotsman as Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United, centred around their youthful ‘Class of 92’ academy players, went on to win the league, the value of experience can’t be underestimated. Ultimately in that United side in 1995/96, they sti...

Chelsea will be hoping to enact some immediate revenge on Friday night when they return to the AMEX Stadium to face Brighton for the second time in six days. On Saturday the two clubs locked horns in the fourth round of the FA Cup, which saw the Seagulls progress with a 2-1 win. As such, Enzo Maresca and his team will not only be hoping to quickly get back to winning ways against their top-flight ...

When Cole Palmer signed for Chelsea for €47m from champions Manchester City in the summer of 2023, very few could have predicted the impact he would go on to make at Stamford Bridge. At 20 years of age, he had played just 1,483 minutes for Pep Guardiola's first-team in all competitions. Some were even questioning whether the Blues had overpaid for a player with such little experience in senior foo...

The race for Champions League football is destined to go down to the wire in the Premier League. The English top-flight will receive five places for the most prestigious club competition in the world next season due to European performance of clubs this campaign. Liverpool are champions-elect and Arsenal are realistically guaranteed a place in the Champions League, but as many as eight clubs are b...

In an underwhelming Premier League season, Liam Delap has been one of the standout performances. Although Ipswich are destined to be relegated back to the Championship after their promotion last season, Delap won’t be playing in the second-tier of English football. The 22-year-old has been a revelation for Ipswich and a throwback to a classic number nine in an era where there’s a scarcity of strik...

It would be a major surprise if Chelsea didn’t lift the Europa Conference League trophy this season and they have one foot in the final after a 4-1 win over Djurgårdens. The Blues travelled to Sweden as overwhelming favourites and they delivered a professional performance ahead of the second leg at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea will be delighted to have secured Champions League football for next season and have won the Europa Conference League, and it could be massive for the club going forward. But let's be honest, this is no heartwarming underdog story. Since American Todd Boehly took over the club in May 2022, no club in world football have spent more money than the Blues. In that timeframe, they have spent a ...

Manchester United are certainly splashing the cash this summer. After signing Matheus Cunha from Wolves for €74.2 million and with Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo on his way for a tidy sum of €80m, the Old Trafford club are seemingly showing no signs of slowing down in the transfer market. According to multiple reports, the Red Devils are intent on also signing a new centre forward, with Chelsea’s N...

Nicolas Jackson’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain with it now increasingly likely that he will depart Stamford Bridge over the coming weeks. Jackson has split opinion amongst the Blues faithful since arriving from Villareal with his potential often weighted against his erraticness. The 24-year-old has netted 30 goals in 81 appearances for the West London club but he’s fallen down the pecking o...

“It is one of the smallest squads I played in,” Harry Kane said after the Franz-Beckenbauer Supercup win over Stuttgart (2-1). “There is still some time from now until the end of the transfer window. But that’s down to Max and Christoph as well as the coach to make those kinds of decisions.” The Bayern Munich bosses listened and are set to a...
