The final part of our wonderkids scouting expedition takes place in Europe. This continent has perhaps produced more world-class players than any other. There are so many, in fact, that it is impossible to name them all right now.
Jamie Vardy made his return to Premier League action on Sunday evening as Leicester City travelled to play Arsenal.
On Sunday, the last remaining Premier League unbeaten record fell, as table-topping Everton suffered a 2-0 defeat at Southampton.
It is no secret that Brentford have a knack for finding talent. The West London club’s scouting system is renowned for being hugely successful, and it appears the Bees have found another gem.
RB Leipzig may be the most divisive team in Germany, but that hasn’t stopped them from being one of the fastest rising teams in European football.
On Saturday afternoon, Merseyside rivals Everton and Liverpool clashed at Goodison Park, in what turned out to be a derby that had everything. The game finished 2-2, which on paper was not a terrible result for either team.
On Sunday, Tottenham looked to be cruising to a Premier League victory against West Ham in a London derby. Jose Mourinho’s team were three goals up within the first 16 minutes, as attacking double act Harry Kane and Heung Min-Son ran riot.
Neymar moved second in Brazil’s all-time goalscoring charts by netting a hat-trick in a World Cup qualifier against Peru on Wednesday.
Continuing our Talent Scout series, this week Forebet takes a look at some of the hottest prospects in South American. This region of the world has produced some of the most iconic players in footballing history. Pele, Maradona, Messi, and Ronaldo all emanated from South American and were each dubbed wonderkids at an early age.
Erling Braut Haaland first came to the attention of the majority of football fans during his time at Red Bull Salzburg. He joined the Austrian club from Molde, where he spent time as a teenager.
We are bringing you a selection of young players from across Africa that are attracting attention from some of Europe’s top clubs. Any of these players could prove to be the next ‘wonderkid’ but transforming that potential into actual talent separates the wheat from the chaff.
Football often divides opinion. But I’m sure we can all agree that the 2020/21 Premier League season has kicked off in crazy fashion.
Manchester City spent heavily on defenders once again this transfer window. Pep Guardiola shelled out £41 million on Nathan Ake and £65m on Ruben Dias.
Sheffield United were predicted to go straight back down to the Championship by many pundits following their promotion to the Premier League in 2019. However, the Blades stunned us all and claimed a 9th place finish in their return to the topflight of English football.
There were several late deals completed on transfer deadline day but perhaps the standout transfer involved Thomas Partey. The 27 year old central midfielder moved from Atletico Madrid to Arsenal for a fee believed to be in the region of €50 million.
This season's congested football schedule was always going to affect certain leagues and teams, contributing to results that may not have happened in the past.
On Sunday afternoon, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United suffered a 6-1 hammering at the hands of Tottenham at Old Trafford. The early dismissal of French forward Anthony Martial did not help the Red Devils, but in truth, they were woeful against former head coach Jose Mourinho’s team.
Duncan Ferguson, Bob Latchford, Graeme Sharp, Joe Royle, Tommy Lawton, and Dixie Dean have all worn the famous number 9 shirt for Everton, making it a number the fans hold in high regard.
In football, scoring goals is the aim of the game. We all know that. However, while many teams win games by outscoring their opponents, some build their success on preventing their opponents from scoring.
It is great to see the return of Premier League football this season all be it without fans inside the stadium. However, it would not be the same without controversy and that is exactly what we have got with the current handball rule.
