Chiesa joined Fiorentina's academy back in 2007 and has progressed through the ranks. Now regarded as one of Italy's brightest young prospects, Chiesa is a vitally important member of this Fiorentina team, having started 26 league games so far in 2019/20....

When Mason Greenwood fired in a rocket against Aston Villa this week, there was a question on the tip of our tongues. But it wasn't 'will Manchester United be title challengers next season?' nor was it 'is Mason Greenwood the best teenager we've seen in a decade?' ('no' and 'probably' if you were wondering). No, we're all football hipsters at 90min, so the question was 'who has the most aesthetically pleasing shooting technique in the league at present?' And since you're dying to know the...

The football world was rocked two years ago when Cristiano Ronaldo decided to swap the glamour of Real Madrid for the storied traditions of Juventus. He was Los Blancos' all-time record goalscorer after nine years in the Spanish capital and had won a staggering 15 trophies for the club, including four Champions League titles, but chose to walk away from Zinedine Zidane's all-conquering side in favour of a new challenge that was offered in Turin. With La Vecchia Signora on course for another...

Squad numbers on football kits are a big part of the game. Literally. They take up the entire back of the shirt, and if that isn't enough, they print it again on players' shorts. While historically squad numbers correlated to positions on the pitch, the game has developed and as squad sizes increases along with competition for places, numbers are taken up a lot quicker. Not everyone can wear one to 11, so naturally conventions have changed. While some players still take numbers by position...

There are some things that are inevitable in the Premier League. Wolves' starting XI is more or less one of them.

West Ham have joined Tottenham, Everton, and Newcastle in the race to sign Real Betis full-back Emerson. The Hammers, who are hovering just three points above the relegation zone with four games to play, are lacking options at right-back after the departures of Pablo Zabaleta and Jeremy Ngakia at the end of June, leaving Ryan Fredericks as the only senior option at manager David Moyes' disposal.
