Daniel Levy’s exit marks the end of an era at Tottenham Tottenham Hotspur’s executive chairman Daniel Levy, who has stepped aside after almost 25 years in charge, will remain one of the most divisive figures in the club’s history. Author | Greg S The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium   |  The ground Levy helped build He oversaw the creation of the world-class infrastructure Spurs now enjoy, from the £1bn stadium that ranks among the finest in world football to the training headquarters at Hotspur Way in Enfield . Yet for all these achievements, his tenure will always be judged by many through the lens of underachievement on the pitch. Although retaining a minority stake, Levy will no longer be involved in the day-to-day running of the club. His exit will be celebrated by a sizeable section of the fanbase, who long associated his chairmanship with stagnation as much as progress.

Title 21 guaranteed for Liverpool? They entered the season as clear favourites to retain the Premier League title, following a comfortable march to their 20th championship last spring Author | William G Arne Slot’s first campaign as head coach saw the team largely unchallenged from Christmas onwards, securing the title with four games to spare and finishing ten points clear at the top. Their response was a summer spending spree unprecedented in European football, totalling £415 million to assemble a remarkable array of talent. The previous British record had been set by Chelsea’s £400 million outlay in 2023, and Liverpool would have spent even more had a deal for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi not fallen through as the window closed . If Liverpool were already tipped as champions before this investment, title number 21 now seems all but assured. It is early in the season to make such a definitive judgement, but the scale of their recruitment makes it harder than ever to see past...

Liverpool have finally signed striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. It is believed that the deal is worth as much as £130m with add-ons and Isak signed a six-year contract.

Aston Villa made their first move of transfer deadline day with the signing of Victor Lindelöf. The Sweden captain arrives on a free transfer after leaving Manchester United at the end of last season.  Author | Peter Grainger Unai Emery had been keen to address a shortage of cover at centre-back and right-back, and the 30-year-old’s versatility across the back line is expected to prove valuable over the course of the campaign. Lindelof is Villa’s fourth signing of the 2025 summer transfer window, after Zepiqueno Redmond from PSV Eindhoven , Marco Bizot from Brest and Evann Guessand from Nice .

It has been a terrible start to the season for West Ham United They have lost both of their Premier League matches and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup. Author | Jamie Pugh West Ham v Chelsea In a sense, West Ham's problems date back to the aftermath of that euphoric night in Prague, when the club ended a 43-year wait for a trophy by beating Fiorentina in the Conference League final . Owner David Sullivan announced virtually immediately that Declan Rice would be leaving and Tim Steidten came in as technical director to help reshape the Hammers squad with the £105m received from Arsenal. This didn't quite work out as planned For a start, Steidten and David Moyes were not aligned in their thinking, which eventually resulted in the German being banned from the training ground. West Ham spent the Rice money and more on four signings - all of whom initially flattered, then became either inconsistent or ineffective. When Moyes left in 2024, a move most accepted had to happen, Jul...

West Ham v Chelsea Preview Chelsea are strong favourites among the experts to get three points  Author | James P Stadium | London Stadium  West Ham’s Premier League campaign got off to a disastrous start last weekend, with Graham Potter’s side suffering a 3-0 defeat at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light. Potter faces mounting pressure after failing to inspire the fanbase following his arrival midway through last season, and expectations were higher after a full preseason. Last week’s display suggested little progress, and with West Ham having won only one of their final eight home league games last term, patience is likely to be in short supply unless results improve quickly. Chelsea present a difficult challenge, having won each of the last three encounters and with Potter yet to defeat his former club in seven managerial meetings. Chelsea need to prove they're more than just hype While the Blues won at the London Stadium last season, they have managed only three victories...
