So Tottenham have agreed a loan deal for RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner.

A player who - it’s fair to say - was a disappointment at Chelsea.

But if the German international fits the profile and style Spurs are looking for..

Can Ange Postecoglou be the one to unlock Werner’s potential?

Host Adam Leventhal is joined by The Athletic’s Spurs writer Jack-Pitt Brooke, Liam Twomey who as one of our Chelsea writers was there to witness Werner’s time at Stamford Bridge and European writer Seb Stafford-Bloor who is based in Germany.

Arsenal were beaten 2-0 at home yesterday by Liverpool in the FA Cup. That was despite creating a number of good chances and having relative ‘control’ of the game throughout...

Something Gunners' fans haven’t seen since... well, the West Ham game last week! So, how worrying is this pattern for Arteta?

And what’s their way out - Is it through coaching? Or in the January transfer window?

Host Adam Leventhal is joined by former Arsenal midfielder Adrian Clarke and The Athletic's James McNicholas to discuss.

Last summer, the list of high-profile players leaving some of Europe’s biggest clubs to join the Saudi Pro League seemed to get longer by the day...

What started with a multi-million-pound pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo in December 2022 soon expanded to include the likes of Karim Benzema, Ruben Neves and of course, Jordan Henderson.

Well, now it seems Henderson wants out - and to return to the Premier League.

But it may not be that easy and could come at a significant cost... So what would an exit from the Saudi Pro League cost Henderson?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic's Sarah Shephard & Oliver Kay.
