Erling Haaland is the current top striker in the Premier League, with the Man City superstar scoring for fun since moving to England.

The Norway international, should he remain in Manchester, could go on to break all kinds of records, but is he the best centre-forward the Premier League has seen since 1992? He’s got some catching up to do…

One of the top strikers around when the Premier League was formed in 1992 was Les Ferdinand. A powerful target man who loved a duel in the air, he scored 20 goals in the first ever Premier League campaign for QPR and featured for five more clubs in the top flight.

Best known for his impressive short stint at Newcastle and six-year period with Tottenham, Ferdinand ended with an impressive 149 goals.

Considering Jamie Vardy has only played for Leicester City in the Premier League, his tally of 144 goals in just under 350 appearances is hugely impressive.

The rapid striker scored in 11 consecutive top-flight games back in 2015/16, helping the Foxes win the title under Claudio Ranieri in what is arguably the greatest underdog story in sporting history.

At the peak of his powers at the end of the 1990s was Teddy Sheringham, who is known best for his time at Tottenham and Man Utd.

Arguably a forward who went under the radar at the time, Sheringham was clinical in front of goal and appeared to get better with age, with Sir Alex Ferguson calling the striker “remarkable” during his time at Old Trafford.

Agile, quick and a clinical finisher were some of Jermain Defoe’s main attributes as a striker, with the Englishman enjoying a successful partnership with towering forward Peter Crouch during his career.

Defoe certainly knew where the back of the net was and scored goals in 19 different Premier League campaigns, with a highlight netting five against Wigan in 2009.

Despite starting his Premier League career late at the age of 29, Ian Wright made a big impact for Arsenal, hitting double figures in the first six top-flight campaigns.

Wright was even the Gunners’ all-time top scorer for a period of time, and despite being known for his punditry work today, his talents as a striker in the 1990s cannot be forgotten.

Another Arsenal star in attack in the 1990s and 2000s was Dennis Bergkamp. The Dutch forward was versatile, intelligent and technically brilliant, enjoying a brilliant partnership with Thierry Henry at Highbury under Arsene Wenger.

Bergkamp may not have scored as many goals as others, but he was called a “dream” by Henry, “the best” Wright has played with and the definition of a “footballer” by Johan Cruyff and loved to create. (talkSPORT)

His goal record in the 1990s at Anfield was every two games, and despite netting 53 times in the 1993/94 and 1994/95 seasons, never actually won a Golden Boot. In front of goal, Fowler was clinical, with Andy Cole calling the Englishman the “best finisher ever”.

Sir Alex Ferguson called Ruud van Nistelrooy “the most prolific” striker he had at Man Utd, and his game to goal ratio certainly backs that up.

The Dutch striker arrived at Old Trafford having cored for fun in his native country, and he didn’t take long to adjust to life in the Premier League, scoring 23 league goals in his first campaign. It’s a shame Van Nistelrooy’s time in England only lasted five years, but he certainly won’t be forgotten.

Another Dutch icon who spent longer in the Premier League was Robin van Persie, who made the controversial move from Arsenal to Man Utd in 2012.

It was a decision that worked out for Van Persie, who won the Premier League title with the Red Devils after missing out with Arsenal, and the forward had one of the best left foots the league has ever seen.

Known for scoring some outrageous goals, Van Persie’s effort against Aston Villa to help seal the title for Man Utd in 2013 was called “goal of the century” by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Luis Suarez’s stay in England was short but sweet, with the Uruguayan becoming a Liverpool icon in such a brief period of time.

Capable of scoring out of nothing and winning games on his own, Suarez was at Anfield for just three-and-a-half seasons, with his 2013/14 campaign one of the greatest individual seasons in Premier League history.

He netted 31 goals in 33 games that year and almost took the Reds to a title before Barcelona came in and signed Suarez for big money.

Arsenal are now eyeing a surprise move for a “fantastic” Premier League striker, who is desperate to leave his club this summer, according to a report.

Gunners' striker pursuit heating up

As we edge closer to the summer transfer window, the Gunners have now stepped up their pursuit of a new striker, and Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo has recently joined the list of targets, with a hijack of Newcastle United’s move for the Cameroonian on the cards.

Talks have also been held over a deal for RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko, with the north Londoners now pushing hard to complete a move for the Slovenian, but the 21-year-old is not believed to be their top target.

Right at the top of the list is Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, with talks recently being held over a deal for the Sweden international, ahead of what could be an early summer deal.

The Gunners are frontrunners as things stand.

Talks have since been accelerated, with the forward clearly held in very high regard at the Emirates Stadium, but a surprise alternative option from the Premier League has also entered the frame.

That is according to a report from France (via Sport Witness), which states Arsenal are now in the picture to sign Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku this summer, with the Frenchman determined to seal a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Having fallen down the pecking order under Enzo Maresca, the 27-year-old’s relationship with Chelsea is at the point of no return, which means he is set to search for a new club this summer, and he would be keen to sign for a side in the Champions League.

There may be competition for Nkunku’s signature, however, with Bayern Munich expressing an interest, having also been keen to take him to Germany back in the January transfer window.

"Fantastic" Nkunku needs fresh start

The France international arrived at Stamford Bridge for the hefty fee of £52m, but it would be fair to say he has flattered to deceive, particularly this season, scoring just three goals in 27 Premier League outings.

However, the former RB Leipzig man picked up a remarkable 70 goals and 55 assists in 172 matches during his time with the German club, so it is clear he has quality, but he may need a fresh start at a club more willing to give him consistent starts.

The forward has also been praised for his versatility by former manager Mauricio Pochettino, who said: “He is a player, a fantastic player, that was top scorer in the Bundesliga and he can play in different positions. His quality is amazing.”

That said, Arsenal should have serious reservations about signing Nkunku, given his failure to adapt to life in the Premier League, and it would probably be wise to pursue an alternative target.

Will Delhi Capitals look to bring back former captain Rishabh Pant? And is Mohammed Shami the obvious choice for Gujarat Titans?

Dustin Silgardo19-Nov-2024What is the right-to-match (RTM) rule?
Ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, each team was allowed to retain up to six players, with a maximum of five capped players and a maximum of two uncapped Indian players.For the eight teams that did not use all of their six retentions, they can now use right-to-match options on players from their 2024 squads to fill up the remaining slots. The limits of five capped and two uncapped players still apply, so teams that have retained five capped players can use their RTM option on only one uncapped Indian player. And if a team has retained two uncapped players, they can use their RTM options on only capped players. If a team uses a RTM option on one of their former players at the auction, the last bidder will be allowed to raise the bid one final time, and the choice of whether to continue with the right-to-match option and match the bid then lies with the team using the RTM option.
Delhi Capitals
Players retained: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abhishek Porel

Purse remaining: INR 73 crore
Right-to-match options: 2The big question for DC ahead of the auction is whether they will use a right-to-match option on former captain Rishabh Pant. While DC did not retain Pant, there is talk that they still want him at the franchise. DC can use both their right-to-match options on capped players, so they could also target Khaleel Ahmed, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Mukesh Kumar, Anrich Nortje, Mitchell Marsh or Harry Brook.Khaleel spent three years at DC and consistently provided powerplay wickets. That he is an Indian left-arm seamer also makes him someone worth using a right-to-match option on. While Mukesh is not the most spectacular T20 bowler, his death-bowling numbers over two seasons with DC have been fair. His name only comes up in Set 16, though, so DC may not have a right-to-match option remaining then. Nortje was one of DC’s retentions in 2022 after two strong seasons with them, but he had a shocker in 2024. He has regained some form since but is still a risky pick.Among the batters, Fraser-McGurk, who is in Set 3, is the name that stands out after his eye-catching first season. His international form since then, though, has been underwhelming. With Australian coaches at two other franchises, the bidding for Fraser-McGurk might go quite high, which will make the right-to-match option handy. Marsh and Brook have both failed to impress in the IPL but are proven internationals.If DC somehow reach the latter stages of the auction with a right-to-match option still in hand, they may look at 24-year-old uncapped seamer Rasikh Salam Dar, who had an impressive debut season in 2024. He is in Set 11.BCCIGujarat Titans
Players retained: Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan

Purse remaining: INR 69 crore
Right-to-match options: 1 (capped)Will Gujarat Titans use their lone right-to-match option on Mohammed Shami? He was the Purple Cap winner in 2023 and played a crucial role in GT’s run to the final in both 2022 and 2023 before missing the 2024 season with injury. Injuries and age are the main concerns surrounding Shami. He played his first competitive match since 2023 just ahead of the auction and took seven wickets across two innings for Bengal against Madhya Pradesh in a first-class game. That show of fitness could be the deciding factor in GT going for him.If GT don’t use the right-to-match option on Shami, the other options are David Miller, who is in Set 2, and Noor Ahmad, who is in Set 7. Miller, 34, had a disappointing 2024 season but was in fine form during the recent Caribbean Premier League. Noor, meanwhile, topped the wicket charts in the CPL and at 19, might be seen as an investment for the future.

New York Strikers, themselves first-timers, face Samp Army in Qualifier 1, while Team Abu Dhabi and Deccan Gladiators meet in the Eliminator

Aadam Patel03-Dec-2022The final four of the Abu Dhabi T10 is set after Friday’s triple-header at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, with New York Strikers and Morrisville Samp Army, the two new franchises, topping the league table. They will now be going head-to-head in Saturday’s Qualifier 1, with the winner directly making it to Sunday’s final.After Delhi Bulls beat Chennai Brave in a dead rubber on the last day of the round-robin matches, Samp Army brushed Northern Warriors aside to temporarily go atop before Strikers reclaimed top spot by hammering Team Abu Dhabi.In what is the same format as the IPL, the loser between Samp Army and Strikers will get another go on Saturday evening against the winner of the Eliminator between Team Abu Dhabi and defending champions Deccan Gladiators.Related

Moeen Ali’s Samp Army side came into their final league match knowing that a win would be enough to finish in the top two, but found themselves in a bit of bother after losing four wickets in the space of eight deliveries during their chase of 118. At 82 for 5 at the start of the seventh over, the game was in the balance, with Moeen, David Miller, Shimron Hetmyer, Karim Janat and Johnson Charles back in the dugout.Both Moeen and Miller were dismissed without troubling the scorers, but a rapid 45 off 18 deliveries from Hetmyer – including five monstrous sixes – had set Samp Army up, after which Dwaine Pretorius (17* off seven) and Chamika Karunaratne (22* off eight) held their nerve to take their side home with nine balls to spare.Hetmyer was in the headlines in October after missing West Indies’ rescheduled flight before the T20 World Cup, and subsequently getting removed from the West Indies squad, but has enjoyed being a part of the T10. He walked into the post-match press conference with a bandage around his left arm after hurting himself during the run chase, but still with a beaming smile.”Whatever’s happened before has happened, and I’m trying to put that behind me,” Hetmyer said. “One of the best things about T10 cricket is just the freedom to go out and express yourself. Win, lose or draw, I try and play the game with a smile on my face, and enjoy it as much as I can.”After seeing Samp Army’s win, Chris Lynn’s Abu Dhabi outfit knew that nothing less than two points would do if they wanted to get back in the top two, and coming off the back of a four-game win streak, they would have certainly fancied their chances. But Strikers have found another gear throughout the last week, and came into the game with a five-match winning run of their own. And from the moment Kieron Pollard won the toss, they were in control.They struck regularly with the ball, with Wahab Riaz taking 3 for 4, and Rashid Khan showcasing his craft and guile by bowling his namesake Adil Rashid and Andrew Tye. At the halfway mark, a total of 78 was never going to trouble Pollard’s side, who had spent their previous two evenings in Abu Dhabi pulling off chases of 144 and 113.Though Paul Stirling was undone by a superb inswinger from Naveen-Ul-Haq, it was Eoin Morgan and Muhammad Waseem who steadied the ship before Adil Rashid removed his former England captain. But any doubt of a Strikers’ win was removed in the next over, as David Payne was sent for three sixes by Waseem, and Pollard secured victory in style with a huge hit over long-on.Eight teams are now down to four, and it is the new boys who are making all the noise at season six of Abu Dhabi T10.

Australia’s captain really could use some help with his sledging game

Andrew Fidel Fernando31-Jan-2021Sledging round-up
Over the course of two India tours, Tim Paine’s behind-the-stumps gabbing can be put into two broad categories. The first category is elite hospitality.- To Rishabh Pant in ’18-19: “Beautiful town, Hobart. Get you a nice apartment on the waterfront. Have you over for dinner. You babysit?”- To R Ashwin in ’20-21: “Can’t wait to get you to the Gabba, Ash.”But then Paine also seems extremely sensitive to any fractures within the India team. This is category No. 2.- To M Vijay in ’18-19: “I know [Virat Kohli’s] your captain, but you can’t seriously like him as a bloke.”- To R Ashwin, ’20-21: “At least my team-mates like me, d***head.”He’s had two years to work on the routine, and still keeps treading the same ground, so get some new material, amirite? Maybe he could do with some sledging lessons from Sri Lanka’s wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella, who in the second Test against England, reminded Jonny Bairstow that although he’d been “dropped” (or rested, as the official ECB line will be) from the India tour, he would still be available for the IPL. Shortly after, Bairstow edged a ball into his pads and was caught at slip.Almost more impressive was Joe Root’s sledge to Sri Lanka’s stand-in captain Dinesh Chandimal from slip. Having watched Chandimal slog-sweep the previous ball for four, Root chirped: “Come on Chandi, throw your wicket away.” Attempting another almighty heave, Chandimal obliged, seconds later.But does Paine have a point about Kohli?
No. He doesn’t. Because agreeing that he did would constitute internet suicide. I would never suggest that the likeability of the India team that won in Australia was even slightly due to the absence of Kohli, who is not only one of the greatest cricketers of the age but also the most magnetic and marketable, not to mention really handsome.Punishment for racist spectators
Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah reported hearing racist abuse from the SCG crowd in the third Test. A group of spectators was later removed from the ground, following a complaint to the umpires from Siraj. But is being escorted out really enough of a deterrent for racists at cricket grounds? Alternative punishment: shoot the racists out of cannons, over the grandstands and out onto the streets outside cricket grounds, preferably in sync with stadium music, with confetti and streamers going off around the ground.How to motivate a batsman over ten years
Congratulations are in order for repeated Pakistan selection panels, who collectively refused to pick Fawad Alam for Tests for over a decade in order to get him perfectly primed for this roaring comeback, in which he has now hit two hundreds in the space of four innings. Nothing like being told your technique is too weird to succeed at the top level, during part of which time you watch Shivnarine Chanderpaul scuttle his way to 11,000 Test runs, or Steve Smith become the best batsman on the planet, while you yourself rack up over 12,000 first-class runs, to really make you serious about your batting.Is this what we waited for?
Thanks to the pandemic, there had been no Test cricket in Sri Lanka since August 2019. And I do mean to the pandemic on this one. Because although Sri Lanka fans of the longest format were initially excited to watch their team play England in Galle, any positive feelings were vomited into their face masks as they watched Sri Lanka’s batsmen get out for 135 in their first innings of the series, before in their final innings, Sri Lanka produced a collapse that was feeble beyond imagination, tumbling to 126 all out.These collapses were so unwatchably bad – batsmen hitting wide long hops straight to point, or slog-sweeping against the turn en masse to be predictably caught off top edges – that it was a mercy to spectators that no one was allowed at the ground. Somebody should sell “I was not there” T-shirts.Next month on The Briefing:
– Kohli will return to the India team for the England Tests, and they will absolutely be every bit as supportable, his on-field gesticulations and generally aggressive demeanour not doing a single thing to dent their likeability.- Pakistan selectors realise their long omission of Alam worked so brilliantly, they have no option but to drop him again for several years.

After Erik ten Hag’s dismissal from Manchester United in October last year, it was always going to be crucial that the hierarchy made the right call with their next appointment.

The Red Devils board turned to Ruben Amorim to fill the void, but around 13 months on from his arrival, he’s still struggling to provide the goods on a consistent basis.

He’s currently achieving a 41% win record in his 56 matches in charge at Old Trafford to date, with the 40-year-old only registering a total of 23 victories across all competitions.

His 3-4-2-1 system is yet to be seen in full flow, as numerous players are still getting used to the demands of the manager’s intricate system in the Premier League.

One player in particular has had to adapt his playstyle over the last couple of months as a result of the switch, but he’s struggled in 2025/25 – as seen by his stats in recent weeks.

The stats behind Dalot’s struggles in 2025/26

Diogo Dalot was signed by United back in 2018 from boyhood club Porto, with the Portuguese star seen as the long-term solution at right-back at Old Trafford.

The 26-year-old has already racked up over 200 senior appearances for the Red Devils since his transfer, but concerns have been raised about his performance levels in 2025/26.

He’s been asked to operate in a more advanced right-wing-back role as a result of Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system – a position in which he’s massively struggled to date.

In his 11 appearances in the Premier League, he’s massively struggled in possession, as seen by his lowly tally of just 2.8 progressive passes completed per 90.

Such a tally ranks him within the bottom 20% of all full-backs in the division this season, further showcasing his lack of impact when in possession this campaign.

Going forward, he’s also massively struggled to impress, as seen by his tally of just 1.7 passes into the final per 90 – which also places him in the bottom 14% of other defenders in the league.

When he gets himself into shooting positions, Dalot has also massively struggled in the Premier League, as seen by his tally of zero shots on target, the joint-worst of any player in the division.

It’s evident that he’s massively struggled to impress since the arrival of his compatriot, with the manager desperately needing to address the situation in such an area.

The star who can end Dalot’s Man Utd career

In an attempt to fix the issues in the wing-back department, Amorim has put faith in Amad Diallo to try and nail the place down as his own in recent months.

The Ivorian, who’s primarily a winger, has managed to impress in the role, with the 23-year-old netting 11 goals and eight assists across all competitions in 2024/25.

In the current season, the youngster has continued to impress, already netting a goal and two assists – with his only goal a tremendous strike in the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.

However, the manager could be presented with an issue in the months ahead, with the player set to join up with the Ivory Coast national team for the African Cup of Nations.

Despite the issues, the manager could call upon academy star Bendito Mantato to try and fill the void and solve the long-standing problem in wide areas.

The Englishman joined the academy at the age of nine, subsequently spending his entire youth years with the Red Devils and is now a star performer in the youth ranks.

He’s made three appearances for the U18 squad during the early stages of this season, but has managed to impress – as seen by his tally of three goals and three assists.

Mantato, who started out as a winger, has even played as a full-back for the academy sides, subsequently allowing him to make 11 appearances for the under-21 side this campaign.

As a result of his recent performances, analyst Ben Mattinson has already labelled “explosive” – even touching on his ability to get up and down the pitch with his tireless nature.

The youngster starred in the U18s 7-0 demolition of Liverpool at the weekend, with the wideman finding the net early on to get the ball rolling against their bitter rivals.

At just 17, expectations will no doubt have to be managed by the club and Amorim, but it’s evident that he’s a player with bags of talent and potential for the future.

However, if he does manage to continue his current trajectory, there’s no reason why he can’t replace Dalot in the first-team setup and save the hierarchy millions.

The Portuguese international is certainly on borrowed time at Old Trafford, with the full-back needing a miracle to prevent the hierarchy from looking at options to replace him.

Better than Dorgu: Man Utd plot move to sign 'the world's most coveted LB'

Manchester United look set to make yet another big-money move in the defensive department.

ByEthan Lamb Dec 2, 2025

أدلى مدرب تشيلسي، إنزو ماريسكا بتصريحات عقب فوز فريقه أمام برشلونة خلال منافسات بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، حيث تواجه الخصمان مساء الثلاثاء.

واستقبل تشيلسي نظيره برشلونة على ملعب “ستامفورد بريدج” وتغلب عليه بثلاثية دون رد، ضمن مباريات الجولة الخامسة لمرحلة الدوري بدوري أبطال أوروبا.

وقال ماريسكا في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي”: “إنه فوز جيد، بصراحة، لم يكن أكثر من ذلك، كنا ندرك أهمية هذه المباراة، ولكن جميعها مباريات مهمة، الفوز على برشلونة دائمًا ما يكون أمرًا رائعًا، ونحن سعداء اليوم”.

وأضاف: “أهدرنا نقاطًا أمام كاراباخ خارج أرضنا، ثم فزنا على بنفيكا وأياكس، ثم خسرنا في المباراة الأخيرة أمام بايرن ميونخ، هذا يُظهر أن جميع هذه المباريات معقدة”.

وأردف: “برشلونة فريق يشعر بالراحة عندما تكون الكرة بحوزته، أما إذا لم تكن بحوزتهم، فلا يشعرون بالراحة، لذلك حاولنا الاحتفاظ بالكرة، حتى في مواجهة 11 ضد 11، كان شعوري جيدًا جدًا لأن الفريق كان يلعب بشكل جيد”.

وواصل: “الجانب الدفاعي مهم دائمًا لأنه يحتاج إلى التوازن، لحسن الحظ، بدأنا الشهر الماضي بإنهاء مبارياتنا بشباك نظيفة في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، إنه أمر يجب القيام به إذا كنت ترغب في تحقيق أهداف مهمة”.

وعن هدف إستيفاو ويليان، البالغ من العمر 18 عامًا، علّق ماريسكا: “كانت ليلةً رائعةً له، ولكن أعتقد أنها ليلةٌ رائعةٌ أيضًا للنادي بأكمله ولجميع المشجعين، إنها ليلةٌ رائعةٌ للجميع، سنرى (إن كان سيبدأ أساسيًا ضد آرسنال)، الآن، حان الوقت لنستعيد نشاطنا”.

وعن قيمة كأس العالم للأندية التي اكتسبها فريقه، أكد: “كان الفوز بها مهمًا جدًا للاعبي من حيث الثقة، لأنهم أدركوا أنهم قادرون على الفوز ضد أي فريق، عندما تحاول بناء عقلية الفوز، فأنت بحاجةٍ إلى الفوز بالمباريات”.

The Atlanta Braves gave an unfortunate update about pitcher Spencer Strider on Monday—the ace has been placed on the 15-day injured list.

Strider strained his right hamstring while playing catch on Monday, the organization said. The pitcher had just made his return to baseball on April 16 after recovering from elbow surgery that he underwent last April. It took him basically a full year to return to the mound for the Braves.

The Braves recalled right handed pitcher Michael Peterson up in Strider's absence.

In Strider's one start this season, he threw 97 pitches over five innings, resulting in five strikeouts, five hits, two runs, one walk and one home run. His ERA is a 3.60 after the one game.

Strider only started in two games last season before his UCL injury occurred. His 2023 season was his best to date, though, as it's his lone All-Star performance. He was also named to the All-MLB First Team and was the league's wins and strikeouts leader that season.

O Barcelona perdeu o 100% de aproveitamento na Champions League. Em duelo válido pela quarta rodada da fase de grupos, a equipe de Xavi foi derrotada por 1 a 0 pelo Shakhtar Donetsk, em Hamburgo, na Alemanha. O gol dos ucranianos foi anotado por Sikan, aos 39 minutos do primeiro tempo. O garoto Newertton, de apenas 18 anos e revelado pelo São Paulo, chegou a balançar as redes no segundo tempo, mas o gol foi anulado por impedimento.

O Barcelona foi com força máxima para o confronto, mas o ataque formado por Raphinha, Lewandowski e Ferran Torres foi pouco efetivo. João Félix entrou no decorrer do segundo tempo, mas também não conseguiu mudar a dinâmica do ataque da equipe espanhola.

Mesmo com a derrota, o Barcelona segue na liderança do Grupo H da Champions League, com nove pontos. O Shakhtar chegou aos seis pontos e igualou a pontuação do Porto, que enfrenta o Royal Antwerp, às 17h. O Barça volta a campo no domingo (12), contra o Alavés, pelo Campeonato Espanhol.
