Unicorn is thrown around far too often these days. It’s become proxy for ‘big guy that can dribble’ and we all know there are loads of them now. But Álvaro Rodríguez is a different mythical horse all together. I have proof he’s Pegasus.

Aura is about intimidation and stoicism. But now it means something different, too. It means to be unsolvable in an era of mathematical football, to break patterns, to do any old bullshit whenever you want. It means to be Riccardo Calafiori.

Nathan De Cat is a top prospect. Despite being the most obvious figure on any pitch, he plays with a disguise that belongs at the highest level. I broke down one of his performances to show why the European giants are already after him.

FC Nordsjælland have extended the contract of Caleb Yirenkyi through to 2030. Given his level of performance and profile and now the long-term extension, there is a strong chance he will be the record Superligaen sale (held by FCN already) when the time comes. Right to Dream does it again.
