Arsenal is a beautiful football club. Arsene Wenger’s invincibles team starring legends like Thierry Henry & Dennis Bergkamp, is one of the most iconic teams ever. But it’s been a while since they challenged for the title. The club slowly but surely fell off, before failing to qualify for European football in both 2020 and 2021.

Some people are even talking about the possibility of Arsenal challenging for the title again. So what’s happening at the North London club? How did they manage to turn their fortunes around? And what’s that like for the fans at the Emirates Stadium? We spoke with Art de Roché, who follows Arsenal for The Athletic, Robbie Lyle from AFTV, and Jack, a leader of the upcoming Arsenal fangroup: the Ashburton Army, to answer those questions.- Hosted on Acast.

Something interesting is happening in the world of football. More and more football players are starting up businesses during their football careers. They become investors or entrepreneurs, in real estate for example, or the tech industry.This was frowned upon, not so long ago. Critics would say football players should just be focussed on their development as a player, that they would become distracted if they focussed on stuff outside football. But times have changed. A lot of football players now realise that they should invest the money they earn in different ways, to make sure they stay wealthy long after their careers as football players have ended.A good example of this is Axel Witsel, the Belgian international and former player of clubs like Benfica and Zenit Saint Petersburg. He’s currently under contract at Borussia Dortmund. Axel Witsel started to invest the money he earned as a footballer in different ways when he was still very young in his career. He mainly focuses on real estate. But he also had some business ventures in aviation, fashion and wine, for example.We had the opportunity to meet Axel Witsel in Dortmund, to talk about his business ventures.- Hosted on Acast.

The summer transfer window can be truly magical at times. Every now and then, there’s always a signing that catches you completely off guard. Burak Yilmaz is a football icon in Turkey. The 36 year old striker, nicknamed The King, has played for the four biggest Turkish clubs: Galatasaray, Trabzonspor, Besiktas and Fenerbahce. He has also proudly captained the Turkish national team for years. In the 2020-21 season, he was seen as a key figure that helped Lille regain the French league title for the first time in 10 years, scoring 16 goals and assisting several more that season. His heroics helped his side fend off star-studded giants in the capital, Paris Saint Germain, as they finished just a point ahead of them.After leaving Lille as a free agent at the end of last season, Burak Yilmaz had offers from clubs all over the globe. He could have signed lucrative deals at interested clubs in England, Greece and France, for example. But Burak Yilmaz surprised the world of football by signing a contract at Fortuna Sittard, a relatively small club from the Netherlands. In fact, Fortuna Sittard just about escaped relegation from the Dutch Eredivisie last season.
