Throughout the whole transfer window Emiliano Martinez made it clear to Aston Villa that he wanted to leave this summer. Villa weren't going to stand in his way and if a suitable offer had arrived, the World Cup winner would have departed - but no offer came. Let's breakdown the summary of events and what we know went on behind the scenes to Aston Villa. Villa's Final Home Game After the final whistle of Villa's last home game of the 24/25 campaign against Tottenham, Martinez was visibly ups

A Summer of Ambition Berta has already earned praise from Arsenal supporters after overseeing one of the busiest and most ambitious windows in the club’s history. Eight new signings arrived, i

Transfer windows are rarely short on drama, but even by football’s chaotic standards, Ishe Samuels-Smith’s summer has been a rollercoaster. The 19-year-old left-back looked set for a fresh start in France with Strasbourg, only to return to Chelsea just over a month later, and then immediately head out on loan to Championship side Swansea City. For a player yet to make a senior league appearance, the twists and turns of this transfer story have raised plenty of eyebrows. Ishe Samuels-Smith ha

In 2019, Spurs, struggling domestically, a string of injuries plaguing the core of their team, somehow stumbled their way to a Champions League final showdown against Liverpool. It was not to be that night, as a fairly blunt performance (and some pretty iffy refereeing) saw Liverpool win the game 2-0 and walk off into the sunset with the trophy. Spurs could have, and should have, used that as a springboard to launch the club to the next level. They did indeed spend big. Tanguy N'dombele, Gio Lo

Rio Ferdinand has revealed that Gabriel Magalhães once slid into his DMs after taking issue with the pundit’s criticism. But the Arsenal defender has since gone on to prove exactly why he’s one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League, with Rio Ferdinand since praising the Brazilian.

Two weeks into the new season and Spurs fans were pretty happy. Two wins from two and excitement over the announcement of new signing Xavi Simons. Bournemouth at home was a gimme right? Wrong. There’s two things that you can guarantee with Tottenham, losing the next match after beating Manchester City and losing a match before international duty. Tottenham fans had their Tottenham back. The boos ringing around the Tottenham stadium at half time and full time showed how disappointing Tottenham
