Being one of the biggest clubs in England, Arsenal have been blessed with a plethora of simply sensational players over the years.
The likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira came to define an era of Premier League history thanks to their incredible exploits at Highbury.
Even though they couldn’t bring the same kind of success to N5, the likes of Mesut Özil, Alexis Sanchez and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all got the fans on their feet at the Emirates.
Mesut Ozil for Arsenal
However, alongside signing senior players and turning them into superstars, the North Londoners have a proud history of bringing in youngsters and giving them a chance to shine in the first team, including one international superstar who was eventually sold on for a mammoth profit.
Hale End's modern star
Due to its success in producing unreal talents, there is a massive list of players you could choose from to represent Hale End, but in terms of the current day, there can only be one: Bukayo Saka.
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka
The now 23-year-old has become the poster boy of this Arsenal team, and while that’s in no small part down to his outrageous ability and output, it’s also thanks to the fact that he’s come up through the academy and spent his whole career at the club, helping to build a stronger connection to the fans and local community.
Despite being so young, the firm fan favourite has already made 236 appearances for the club, in which he has scored a staggering 61 goals and provided 60 assists, equating to a world-class average of a goal involvement once every 1.95 games and solidifying his place as the best player to come out of the academy in modern history.
This incredible form has seen his valuation soar up to €140m – £116m – per transfermarkt, but given his connection to the fans, the regard Arteta holds him in and the fact he is an essential piece of this new Arsenal side, it feels tremendously unlikely that he would ever be sold, even for twice that amount, which is just one of the things that separates him from a previous academy star who netted the North Londoners a massive profit over 13 years ago.
Cesc Fàbregas' career
Yes, the player in question is Cesc Fàbregas, who cost Arsenal around £2m in 2003 when fees and compensation were considered, and while the Spaniard joined the club as a 16-year-old, he spent a short period in the academy set-up before progressing into the first team.
However, once the incredible talent had established himself in the starting lineup, he was there to stay.
During his time in North London, he made 303 appearances under Arsène Wenger, in which the “astonishing talent”, as dubbed by talent scout Jacek Kulig, scored 57 goals and provided 95 assists.

This means that despite still being a teenager when he broke through, the Arenys de Mar-born gem averaged a goal involvement once every 1.99 games, lending serious credence to Kulig’s claim that he was “one of the best U21s in Premier League history.”
Unfortunately for the Gunners, the Spaniard’s unreal performances eventually caught the eye of his former side, Barcelona, who made him one of their primary transfer targets.
In the summer of 2011, the then-24 returned to the Catalan club for a massive fee of up to £35m, and while the fans would surely have rather kept him, the fee was at least 1150% more than he cost the club, which was especially important at the time given the construction of the Emirates.
Over the next 12 years, the incredibly successful international would make 151 appearances for Barcelona, 198 for Chelsea in a move that burned what few bridges he had left, 68 for AS Monaco and 17 for Italian outfit Como, where he is now the manager.
Overall, Fabregas remains one of the most talented players to have played in the academy and first team at Arsenal, and while his exit and subsequent move to the Blues may have tarnished his reputation among some fans, he did at least make the club a significant profit when he left 13 years ago.

Michael viveu o seu último dia como atleta do Flamengo nesta sexta-feira, quando esteve no Ninho do Urubu para se despedir dos companheiros rumo à Arábia Saudita, onde defenderá o Al Hilal pelas próximas três temporadas.
E, assim como Bruno Henrique mais cedo, outros jogadores postaram mensagens de despedidas, além de Lluís Sala, preparador físico espanhol da nova comissão técnica de Paulo Sousa, que conviveu pouco tempo com o atacante, mas o suficiente para criar um laço afetivo:

Diego Ribas, Rodinei e Pedro também compartilharam o seu sentimento de torcida e saudade com a saída de Michael para o futebol árabe. O camisa 10, por exemplo, escreveu o seguinte:

Negociado por cerca de R$ 46 milhões, Michael encerrou o último ano o ano como um dos nomes mais decisivos do time, com 19 gols e dez assistências. Ao todo, Michael somou 105 jogos pelo Flamengo, com 23 gols e 14 assistências.
Leeds United moved up to second in the Championship table after an emphatic and impressive 3-0 win over Plymouth Argyle at Elland Road on Saturday.
All three goals were, bizarrely, scored within eight minutes of each other and all came within the first-half, as the Whites saw out the match in the second 45.
Dan James opened the scoring with a superb finish, before Joel Piroe and Brenden Aaronson added a second and a third shortly after, to secure all three points.
The former Manchester United winger was key to the victory, having scored the opening goal, and put in an excellent performance down the flank.
Dan James' performance in numbers
The Wales international was teed up by Wilfried Gnonto on the edge of the box and managed to get a brilliant shot away under pressure that went flying into the top corner to make it 1-0.
It was a sublime finish, with defenders closing him down quickly, and it takes his tally to two goals in five starts in the Championship so far this season.
Leeds forward Dan James.
Aside from the goal, however, some of James’ play left a bit to be desired. He only completed three of his ten attempted crosses and failed to create a ‘big chance’ for his teammates.
The right-footed forward also lost three of his five duels in the game, which suggests that the Plymouth players found it a bit too easy to get the better of him at times.
James, due to his struggles at times in other areas, was not the real star of the show for Leeds, as Ao Tanaka was even better than him for Farke on Saturday.
Ao Tanaka's performance in numbers
The Japan international has benefitted from injuries to Ilia Gruev and Ethan Ampadu to enjoy a string of games in the middle of the park for the Whites, and thrived since coming into the team.
His qualities in and out of possession naturally help Leeds to dictate and control games in midfield, because he has the strength to win duels off the ball as well as the quality to keep play ticking throughout the match.
The Whites ended the afternoon with a whopping 78% of the ball and Plymouth did not have a single shot at goal, which meant that Illan Meslier was not tested at all.

As you can see in the table above, the former Fortuna Dusseldorf star dominated in duels, winning 83% of his battles, and was incredibly reliable in possession, with a 91% pass success rate.
Tanaka was also awarded a player rating of 8/10 by LeedsLive reporter Beren Cross, who highlighted his dominant display in the midfield for Leeds, and he played a part in the second goal – with his shot deflected into the path of Piroe.
The statistics back up that ‘dominant’ claim, as the central midfielder helped to control the match with his use of the ball and his strength in duels for Leeds.

Therefore, Tanaka was even better than James, who was fairly average outside of his goal, because his all-round performance was sublime.
وجه أحمد الشيخ، لاعب الأهلي السابق والإسماعيلي الحالي، رسالة قوية أثارت الجدل، حيث تحدث عن ضرورة امتلاك الوعي والثقافة عند التحدث في اللقاءات الإعلامية، مشددًا على أهمية التعلم واختيار الكلمات المناسبة عند الإدلاء بالتصريحات التلفزيونية أو الإعلامية بشكل عام.
وربط المتابعون هذه التصريحات بالجدل الذي أثاره باسم مرسي، لاعب الزمالك السابق، بعد تصريحاته القوية ضد المدربين المصريين، حيث وصفهم بـ”الفشلة”، كما هاجم عبد الحميد بسيوني، مؤكدًا أنه لا يجيد التدريب أو إدارة المباريات، وأن اللاعبين كانوا يسخرون منه.

De folga neste domingo, o grupo principal do Flamengo teve a sua primeira partida na temporada antecipada: agora será diante do Boavista, nesta quarta-feira, e não mais diante do Fluminense, daqui a uma semana. E, até o Fla-Flu, é provável que Paulo Sousa teste a formação com três zagueiros, seja para iniciar a partida a seguir ou durante o clássico pela 3ª rodada do Carioca.

Ao longo da última semana, Paulo Sousa treinou o Flamengo num 3-4-3 em algumas atividades táticas. A jornalista Raisa Simplicio informou, inicialmente,que David Luiz tende a atuar por dentro entre dois zagueiros, possivelmente Gustavo Henrique e Léo Pereira – lembrando que Rodrigo Caio não tem treinado no gramado e feito apenas atividades junto a fisioterapeutas.
Aliás, por conta de outras baixas, como as do quarteto selecionável (Isla, Arrascaeta, Everton Ribeiro e Gabigol) e dos laterais Ramon (transição) e Filipe Luís (recém-recuperado da Covid-19), o português teve que testar Diego Ribas numa posição pouco habitual para o camisa 10: a de ponta pela direita.
No possível 3-4-3, Arão (Andreas Pereira) e Thiago Maia (Gomes) podem compor o meio com dois alas, segundo indica uma das pranchetas montadas por Sousa. Na frente, ainda há Bruno Henrique (na ponta esquerda) e Pedro (referência). A hipótese pode ser vista antes mesmo do Fla-Flu e agitar a concorrência quando os selecionáveis estiverem novamente à disposição, além da iminente regularização de Marinho.

O elenco do Flamengo se reapresenta às 8h desta segunda, no Ninho do Urubu, numa semana que definirá a aguardada primeira formação de Paulo Sousa.
Leeds United will be aiming to get back to winning ways this weekend in the Championship when Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle come town, having been left wanting more from their last game away at Bristol City.
The goal-shy Whites had to make do with a 0-0 draw against Liam Manning’s Robins, despite registering 17 attempts on the busy home goal, as the Elland Road faithful now worry more blanks could be fired versus the Pilgrims.
The task facing Daniel Farke’s side is going to be made harder with Largie Ramazani ruled out with an injury for this clash, with the Belgian winger standing out as a top performer this season for Leeds, before injury disaster struck recently.
Leeds' best performers this season in attack
Before going down with an early injury at home to Watford this October, Ramazani was beginning to make waves in the first team ranks at the promotion-chasing side, with a promising three goals notched up from eight Championship appearances.
His replacement in Manor Solomon for the game against the Hornets hasn’t exactly set the world alight in his place either, with only one on-target effort versus Watford registered, which resulted in Farke only giving him 19 minutes of action off the bench away in Bristol.
Farke will also be praying that Mateo Joseph finds his shooting boots again tomorrow to face off against Plymouth, with the Spanish striker blowing hot and cold as of late, away from firing home this big strike against Sheffield United in the middle of the month to secure a 2-0 win.
That was only the Leeds academy product’s second strike of the campaign, but there will be high hopes he can be the leading man the Whites need in their pursuit to win promotion, having also proven his worth with three assists.
There are already rumours circulating that Leeds are looking at bringing in more attackers soon, with the door open for the second tier side to bring in some loanees this January if needs be, with this former Whites loan player seeing his transfer value shoot up since leaving Elland Road behind.
Eddie Nketiah's value since leaving Leeds
Eddie Nketiah has a Championship winners medal scattered amongst his career accolades, with the 25-year-old once a promising young attacker cutting his teeth at Leeds under Marcelo Bielsa.
The unassuming 5 foot 9 forward would help himself to five goals from 19 appearances playing for the Whites, going on to lift the second tier title subsequently at the close of the memorable 2019/20 season, alongside Leeds greats such as Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford.

Only worth around the £6.7m mark when first joining the Whites, Nketiah would use this formative loan switch as a springboard to launch himself into the main first-team fold at Arsenal, with the London-born striker going on to make 168 appearances in total for the Gunners and scoring 38 times.
He might not have lived up to all the hype that surrounded him as a youngster at the Emirates – with journalist James Olley once describing Nketiah as “remarkable” in 2017 when he was starting to be tipped for greatness – but his value would significantly rise up from the £6.7m he was once worth.
As of May this year, Transfermarkt estimated that the new Crystal Palace number nine’s value was now at a far higher £25m, not far off the £30m the Eagles actually forked out to land his services a couple of months later.
Using the £25m, that is a 257% increase in the value he was once worth when first entering the building at Leeds, with the 25-year-old aiming to now make a name for himself at Selhurst Park away from his boyhood employers, but only one goal has found the back of the net so far for him in South London.
Leeds will be hoping that their own issues in front of goal subside soon too or the promotion hopefuls could be busy in January adding in more firepower.

Rohit and Rahul’s 140-run opening stand sets tone as India’s NRR goes into the positive
Sidharth Monga03-Nov-20212:54
Agarkar: After receiving a couple, India dished out a proper hammering
In the 2007 50-over World Cup, India followed up their crushing loss in their opening game to Bangladesh with a total blowout of Bermuda with a score of 413, the highest score of that World Cup. After two similar defeats in this T20 World Cup, India, have registered the highest score of this tournament, 210 against Afghanistan, and a big win as a result. However, India will hope that unlike in 2007, this win has some consequence. India will now hope Afghanistan upset New Zealand following which they can hope to correct their own net run-rate in the last match of the Super 12s, against Namibia.Watch cricket live on ESPN+

Against a side missing one of their two big spinners, Mujeeb ur Rahman, India’s openers – KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma – looked more at home, putting together India’s biggest opening stand at T20 World Cups. Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant then provided India the finishing kick with a 63-run partnership in the last 3.3 overs. Having put such a high total, India’s bowling was too good for Afghanistan, keeping them to 144, moving into positives on the net-run-rate. Afghanistan’s net-run-rate dropped from 3.1 to 1.481.Afghanistan field first For only the third time in their last 16 won tosses, Afghanistan went against their formula of batting first and inserted India. There are three possible reasons for it: the tournament has been extraordinarily chase-friendly, there is heavy dew, and Afghanistan didn’t have Mujeeb. It was an interesting choice not just for these reasons but also because it spoke of their mindset. If Afghanistan felt defensive in Mujeeb’s absence, they could have batted first because you stand to lose more net-run-rate points when chasing and losing big.On the other hand, India were looking for the win first and foremost and would have chased themselves.The Rohit-Rahul start It is extremely difficult to look for anything that might have been different to India’s batting when compared to the previous two games. They had no left-arm swing, no extreme pace, no mystery spin to tackle here. The only real challenge for them was Rashid Khan, and even he would be half as effective given no support for him.As it turned out, Afghanistan opened the bowling with an offspinner against two right-hand batters, something you would never ever voluntarily do if you were at full strength. Mohammed Nabi might have got out of that first over with just seven runs conceded, but Sharafuddin Ashraf, who hardly turns his left-arm orthodox deliveries, was treated like an offspinner by KL Rahul. In just the first two overs of spin, India had hit three fours and a six; in 16 overs of spin in the previous two matches they had managed a total of three fours and no sixes.Naveen-ul-Haq, too, was taken down in the powerplay, which India ended at 53 for 0.Hardik Pandya gave India the finishing kick•AFP/Getty Images
Storm after a lull Hamid Hassan bowled an excellent sixth over for just one run, which started a brief period of clawing back for Afghanistan. In the ninth over, though, Rahul ended a 20-ball boundary drought by helping a wayward Sharafuddin delivery down the leg side. Rahul and Rohit opened up again, and crucially they took down Rashid too. Rashid dealt almost exclusively in wrong’uns, and both the batters looked to hit him into the leg side. Rahul swept him for a four, and Rohit hit successive sixes: a loft over wide long-on and a slog-sweep. They both fell trying to accelerate but not before having out on 140.Pandya-Pant finish off in style This is the worst time to bowl to big hitters as they nothing to lose and they know there are more to come. With no real price on their wickets, Pant and Pandya hit five sixes and five fours between them to pulverise Afghanistan.Shami, Bumrah set Afghanistan back For Afghanistan to have any shot at the target, they needed a big start from Hazratullah Zazai and Mohammad Shahzad, but the pace and movement of Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah was too good for them. Shami accounted for Shahzad at the end of the third over, and Bumrah for Zazai at the start of the fourth, making it 13 for 2.Jadeja, Ashwin turn the clock back Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Gulbadin Naib slaved some of the powerplay with some lusty blows, but the spinners pulled them right back. Playing together in limited-overs cricket for the first time since 2017, Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin worked in partnership. With two right-hand batters in the middle, Jadeja was brought on first, but he struck in his first over to bring in a left-hand batter for Ashwin, who went on to take out the other right-hand batter first with a carrom ball. When he got rid of Najibullah Zadran, too, Afghanistan were staring at a highly damaging defeat at 69 for 5.Nabi, Janat salvage something Nabi and Karim Janat then played out the bowling till the start of the death overs, and then managed some quick runs to add 57 off 38 for the sixth wicket. Even though Nabi didn’t bat till the end, Janat ended up with 42 off 22 to take Afghanistan to 144, runs that might still prove crucial for one of the three teams.
