2025 Premier League transfer goal chart: Viktor Gyökeres ahead of Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike Despite the criticisms in the media and from rival fanbases, Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres is leading all the new Premier League No. 9's in goals scored in all competitions.

Ranking the 10 best young La Liga players in 2026 Unfortunately, La Liga is falling behind the other top five European leagues in terms of spending, so talent development on a grassroots level has become more important for Spanish clubs than ever before. Sadly, by the same token, La Liga are falling behind in developing talent, particularly the academies at the smallest clubs in Spain. They are seeing their talents poached and having more difficulty initially bringing bright young talents aboard with the scouting networks of Real Madrid and Barcelona, in particular, only growing stronger.

Ranking the 10 best NFL wide receivers of the last 10 years (2016-2026) The NFL 10 years ago already looks a whole lot different than the NFL today. Back then, Tom Brady was still playing for the New England Patriots, Cam Newton was still one of the league's biggest stars, the seasons lasted 16 games, and Thursday Night Football was the worst game of the week. So ranking the best players of the last 10 years is inherently difficult, since eras are rapidly transitioning and the best players in the league 10 years ago were different from the best players in the league five years ago - and certainly a whole lot different than the best players in the league in 2026.

The 5 best CB transfer targets for Bayern Munich to replace Kim Min-jae in summer 2026 Bayern Munich are the undisputed powerhouses of German football, and after Bayer Leverkusen's miracle 2023/24 season, Bayern, as usual, have responded to being dethroned by dominating like never before. Although the center back position is not a weakness in this side and Die Roten were able to extend the world-class Dayot Upamecano, the way this team prioritizes the position, it is likely they will want another experienced player - and potentially someone with superstar potential - to join the current experienced Bundesliga tandem of Jonathan Tah and Upa in 2026.

Ranking the 10 best cornerbacks in Las Vegas Raiders history Cornerbacks are among the most important players in the NFL and have the unenviable task of facing a minuscule margin for error on every snap, having to stop some of the best athletes in the league at wide receiver while also needing to outsmart the quarterbacks throwing the ball in their vicinity. In their storied history, the Las Vegas Raiders have had a handful of true shutdown cornerbacks and many more underrated standouts across from them who were capable of either making big plays on the ball, bumping off the run, or playing at a high level against the No.

The 5 most disappointing quarterbacks of the 2025 NFL season There isn't a single position in professional sports that carries as much pressure with it than the quarterback position, and, unfortunately, because of the sky-high expectations associated with playing quarterback, most players will, naturally, fall short of those expectations.

So from players still trying to prove themselves in the NFL to a future Hall of Famer, here are the five most disappointing NFL quarterbacks of the 2025 season.
