5 players Who Will Improve The Premier League
If by any chance you have read any of my other articles around the net, you’ll know that I am not the biggest fan of the Premier League. So with this article I will suggest five players that, I think could improve the Premier League.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
The lighting fast St Etienne man has been attracting interest from all over Europe, and for good reason too. Second only to Ibrahimovic in the Ligue 1 goal-scoring charts and with six assists to his name, it is looking increasingly unlikely that he’ll be playing his trade in France next season. The clubs making the most noises in the Premier League seems to be Newcastle and Chelsea. While other interest is widely believed to be coming from Manchester City, Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester United. He would undoubtedly improve all of these teams, with his pace, goal-scoring prowess and hard-work for the team. He would give defenses up and down the land something new to think about, and would see his stock once again rise throughout Europe.
Christian Eriksen
The Danish superstar is one of the hottest properties around Europe after yet another superb season with his Amsterdam based Ajax team. The classy playmaker, built almost in the Luka Modric mould would offer whichever team were to sign him a cutting edge like no other. His ability to beat a man, along with his crisp, sleek passing has seen the 21 year old become one of the most sought after players in the world. The chance to prove himself in a bigger league than the Eredivise would be a tantalizing offer for the young man, and the Premier League would be a tough test for Eriksen. He has almost, in many respects outgrown Ajax and is widely regarded as the most important player in that team, if he were to leave it would be a disaster for Ajax, but to whomever he went, they would be buying a gem of a player. Tottenham and Liverpool look set to slug out what could be one of the most prolonged transfer saga’s of this summer’s transfer window.
Mario Gotze
With this young man, I’m not sure if I have any superlatives left to describe him with. An integral cog of the Borussia Dortmund team that has captured the imagination of all of Europe this season, with their swashbuckling style, which has seen them reach the last eight of the Champions League. Already at just the tender age of 20, he has been described as “one of the best talents this country has produced”. His technical ability, speed and creativity, coupled with his versatility has seen him courted by Arsenal and Manchester United in recent months. With the player himself saying he is open to a move, one of these clubs is going to have to step up the chase and gain a march on the other clubs, believed to be tracking the talented young man. He’ll be one of the best in the world in years to come, a worthwhile buy for any team in the world, never-mind the Premier League.
Neymar
This one is more of a dream, than a reality with Barcelona looking most likely to purchase the services of the 21 year old. Interest is high, and even that is an understatement. With over 100 goals already and a hatful of Brazil caps, this player is causing shockwaves in world football. He has it all, skill, goals, pace and ever power. Even with all of this, he is still very much a untested player in the eyes of many football fans. Able to play anywhere across the front line, he would have full backs and centre backs of the Premier League, quaking in their cleats. Not scared to get chalk on his boots, he can drag players out wide and beat them within the blink of an eye. He could add more than just goals to any team, and would be seen as a marque signing and a show of intent if say Manchester City were to buy him. Chelsea are also said to be looking into the possibility of buying Neymar, and when he does decide to leave his native Brazil, it will be interesting to see what offers are brought to the table.
Isco
For Isco, this season has been a watershed moment in his short career. Helped by Malaga’s progress in the Champions League, he has become a sensation throughout Europe. Unfortunately for his potential suitors he recently signed a new contract which is believed to have a buyout clause in excess of £100m. Already in 2013 he has made his Spain debut and has helped Malaga reach the quarter final of Europe’s premier competition. Most comfortable playing in the attacking midfield role, he is someone lone strikers would love to have behind them. He radiates confidence while on the pitch, and has he has been a revelation in a league that is dominated by three of the biggest names in world football, those being Messi, Ronaldo and Falcao. Malaga’s prize asset may be considering leaving due to the fact that Malaga won’t be playing in Europe for the foreseeable future due to what UEFA call “financial irregularities”. Whatever happens this summer, he will remain one to watch for the next few seasons.
Arsenal host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in what could prove decisive for the Gunners’ Premier League title ambitions. Arsenal sit top of the table with 61 points from 28 matches, five points clear of Manchester City, who still have a game in hand, while Chelsea occupy 7th with 45 points after being held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Burnley at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
This represents a huge opportunity for Mikel Arteta’s side to put further distance between themselves and the chasing pack before facing Brighton away on Wednesday. Chelsea arrive at the Emirates in patchy form under Liam Rosenior, who has won just two of his eight league matches since replacing Enzo Maresca in January despite an encouraging start to his tenure.
Kick-off: 4:30 GMT, Sunday, March 1, 2026
Venue: Emirates Stadium
TV: Sky Sports
Kai Havertz Returns to Haunt Former Club
Mikel Arteta confirmed on Friday that Kai Havertz will train on Saturday ahead of the Chelsea clash, giving the German a chance to feature against his former employers. Havertz has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since early February, but scored the winner in Arsenal’s 1-0 Carabao Cup semi final victory over Chelsea earlier this month.
The 26 year old has endured a nightmare campaign with injuries limiting him to just 158 Premier League minutes this season, though he has still managed two goals and two assists when available. Viktor Gyokeres has flourished in Havertz’s absence, scoring twice in the 4-1 North London Derby demolition of Tottenham last weekend.
Rosenior Yet to Face Top Six Opposition
Liam Rosenior faces his first test against a top six side in the league since taking charge of Chelsea, having only faced teams sitting 7th or lower during his opening eight matches. His winning run needs proper context, given the quality of opposition, with recent dropped points against Leeds and Burnley at Stamford Bridge exposing serious vulnerabilities.
Arteta has beaten Rosenior twice already this season in the two legged Carabao Cup semi final, and the Spanish manager will fancy his chances of completing a treble over the Chelsea boss. Bukayo Saka should be fit despite limping off late against Spurs, while Ben White remains doubtful with a niggle.
Predicted Lineups: Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard; Saka, Gyokeres, Eze
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson

Update Given Following Arsenal Injury Scare as Olivia Smith Discharged From Hospital After Being Stretchered Off During FA Cup Win Over Bristol City
Arsenal star Olivia Smith has been discharged from hospital after being stretchered off the field during their Women’s FA Cup game against Bristol City. The forward, who joined the Gunners in the summer, played just under an hour before being forced off with pictures showing a neck brace around the 21 year old at Meadow Park.
This was a worrying moment for Arsenal supporters watching on Sunday afternoon. The Canadian international went down, receiving lengthy treatment before being taken off on a stretcher as a precaution. Thankfully, the injury appears to be far less serious than initially feared.
Left Hospital Yesterday Evening
According to Arsenal reporter Tim Stillman, Olivia Smith left the hospital yesterday evening after tests were run and will return to be assessed this week ahead of the March international break. This is brilliant news for Arsenal, who cannot afford to lose Smith for any length of time, given her importance to the team.
It is believed that her involvement with Canada is still up in the air, with the Canucks facing a triple header of friendlies against Colombia, Argentina, and the United States over the coming two weeks. Arsenal’s next match sees them face London City Lionesses in mid March.
Big Boost for Champions League Hopes
With no video available for Arsenal’s cup game against Bristol City, there was huge concern surrounding Smith’s condition for those unable to attend the game at Meadow Park. Thankfully, what seemed initially to be a severe injury has turned out to be a fairly minor incident.
While Stina Blackstenius and Alessia Russo are both more than capable options to lead the line, it has been Smith who has been Renee Slegers’ favoured choice and proven to be a brilliant signing since her arrival from Liverpool. Having Smith likely available for both legs of the Chelsea Champions League quarter final is a massive boost for Arsenal’s hopes of retaining their European crown.

Arsenal Star Named WSL Player of the Month for January as Midfielder Continues Outstanding Form Following 400th Appearance Milestone
Kim Little has been named January’s Barclays Women’s Super League Player of the Month, recognition that follows her 400th appearance for Arsenal. The captain has made an outstanding start to 2026, completing every minute in the WSL and helping secure two clean sheets and four points from fixtures against Manchester United and Chelsea.
Little drove the midfield against United in the 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium and was again pivotal in the disciplined defensive display at Stamford Bridge that delivered that historic 2-0 win over the Blues. This is absolutely deserved recognition for one of Arsenal’s most influential players, who continues to perform at the highest level despite being 35 years old.
400th Appearance Came in Belgium
Little’s landmark 400th appearance came in Belgium as Arsenal won 4-0 at OH Leuven to close in on a Champions League London derby with Chelsea. The Scottish playmaker came on as a second half substitute in the 82nd minute, replacing Olivia Smith, to reach 400 appearances.
This achievement is even more notable given the time she spent playing in the USA and Australia during her career. Little has become one of the defining figures of the modern Arsenal era, establishing herself as an absolute legend at the club.
Chelsea Awaits in Champions League Quarterfinals
Provided nothing dramatic unfolds at Meadow Park next week, Chelsea awaits in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Arsenal hold a commanding 4-0 advantage from the first leg and are overwhelming favorites to progress to a mouth watering London derby in the last eight.
Little will be central to Arsenal’s hopes of defending their Champions League crown, with the midfielder’s experience and leadership qualities proving invaluable during the knockout stages of major competitions. Her consistent performances continue to set the standard for everyone around her.
