Let’s talk about Malick Yalcouye!

A lot of the focus in the first weeks of the Prem has been on his hairline. Or the lack of a hairline. However behind the jokes lies a serious baller!

His stint at Sturm Graz earned him official recognition as the Austrian League's top young talent for his pivotal role in their domestic title run.

He logged 622 minutes of Champions League experience before his 20th birthday, recording a stellar 89% passing accuracy against elite European opposition.

He just scored his second goal of the season yesterday (September 13, 2026) in Brighton's 5–0 victory over Coventry City

Martinelli looked like a baller at one stage but he hasn’t progressed in the last three years. The emergence of Trossard and injuries meant he was in and out of the team

Will his tenure at Arsenal go down as a failure? No way!! Some great memories

1. Stamford Bridge, Jan 2020.
Box to box. 67 yards after Kante slips. Past the whole Chelsea team.

2. Emirates, 8th Oct 2023.
87th minute winner vs Man City. Off the bench, beats the treble winners 1-0.

3. Emirates, August 2025.
Equaliser vs Man City. Lobs Donnarumma from the edge, brings us back. Big man in the City net, even bigger chip.

Who will be England’s number nine for the 2030 World Cup? It may well be that Harry Kane is still around, surely there is someone to take over though?

There were no traditional number 9s in the Euro u21 squad last time out. So nobody obvious is stepping up.

Maybe Shumaira Mheuka at Chelsea will develop. He has the most talent currently but probably needs to move from Chelsea for game time

Arsenals deal for Morgan Rogers is off!!

Villa are holding out for 150 million! A new British transfer record and won’t budge. Do Arsenal need Rogers? Will they join the elite and pay elite prices? Who will they turn to now?

There are cheaper European options available. Kone from AC Roma, Cristos Tzolis from Brugge. However none are Prem proven like Rogers. Will they regret not paying the big bucks?

Oskar Pietuszewski is the name. Signed by Porto in January for €8 million and made his debut a week later. On 27th of February he scored a goal after 13 seconds, equaling a 30 year-old record for the fastest goal for Porto. Still only 18 years old he’s made his debut for Poland alteady. A tricky winger. Keep an eye out for him rising up the ranks

What a day for Piero Hincapie! Qualification secured for the next round for Ecuador and signing your permanent contract for Arsenal. However the side story is…how on earth is this deal now for £34.5 million?

All along it has been touted as £60+ million. How have Arsenal done this? Andre Berta is pulling some big strings behind the scenes. This might end up the best bargain for 26/27

Have Chelsea let Cuccerella go easily to Real Madrid because they have a Baller in the background? Valentin Barco has been lighting up Ligue 1 this season with Strasburg and seems destined to become Chelsea’s number one left back. What do you think?

One new player always makes a name for himself in a World Cup. Forces a big transfer move.

Part of a strong Ecuador defense, JOEL ORDÓÑEZ is a name to look out for.

Currently at FC Brugge but with links already to Liverpool and last year Marseille, Joel is quick and strong. Keep an eye out
