The Revival of the Premier League Number...

Talksport
About this episode
The traditional number 9, once defined by legends like Shearer and Drogba, faded as fluid systems like the 'false 9' took over. Now, players like Erling Haaland have revived the role, showcasing its power and goal-scoring brilliance. Olly Clink and former Arsenal forward Perry Groves dive into the evolution of the number 9 role and what the Premier League's new strikers can bring to their clubs. Could Gyökeres be the missing piece for Arsenal? Will Šeško elevate Man United's fortunes? Liam Delap & Joao Pedro's battle to start for Chelsea. And can Chris Wood replicate his impressive form from last season?
