My latest piece for @ftblchronicle ahead of the US election tomorrow 👇

[Football Chronicle @ftblchronicle]

The Champions League is back, and it’s bigger. In changing the format, Aleksander Čeferin, one of football’s biggest heels, may have turned babyface for teams in Pot 3 and Pot 4 (at the cost of the environment and player health). For @ftblchronicle.

🏆 #NewOnFC | The Champions League is back and bigger than ever, and maybe, just maybe, this may be Aleksander Čeferin’s saving grace in the eyes of many of Europe’s non-elite clubs. By @karan_tejwani26.

Jacob Shaffelburg began the Copa América on the bench — he ended it as a vital cog in Canada’s attack, leading them all the way to the semifinals.

I wrote about Canada’s first Nova Scotian player for @ftblchronicle. https://t.co/qNG4bmjzg8

Find my 4 player pieces within here on Aston Villa’s Jaden Philogene, West Ham’s Crysensio Summerville, Orlando City’s Facundo Torres and of course Preston North End’s Mads Frøkjær.

Alongside other great writers, honoured to be apart of it and the first of many.

A real pleasure bringing #FC99 out this year. There’s plenty of detail gone into this, and I’m incredibly proud to have worked with the people I had the pleasure of working with on this project. Give it a scan ahead of the new season - I certainly feel it’s worth your time.

My final contribution to the #FC99 series is on Ibrahim Osman. He’s been loaned to Feyenoord but I still see him returning to Brighton and making his name there. ✍️ @ftblchronicle
