For the entire summer, though Brentford were heavily involved in two of the biggest deals where they lost two huge players in Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, it felt like they were an afterthought in both sagas.

The Bees lost more than just players; their magnetic, excellent manager, Thomas Frank, went to Tottenham Hotspur.

In what felt like a transfer window when the ‘elite’ clubs wanted to regain their reputation as the league’s gold standard, the big teams weren’t afraid to show the ones with fewer resources who was boss; perhaps, in retaliation to how many of them were embarrassed in the 2024/2025 Premier League season with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United finishing in awful positions.

Under Frank, regardless of how the league changed, the quality evolved, or how physical it became, they always found a new, innovative way to gain points.

Be it scoring from kick-offs a remarkable amount of times or utilising long throws before every team in the league adapted the tactic.

But even a club that had succeeded as well as Brentford in the Premier League was always going to suffer from losing their strike partnership and manager.

New manager Keith Andrews was handed a tough run of opening fixtures against Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.

The bees have steadily picked up points at home against tough opposition, with Igor Thiago being a standout performer so far this season.

Mbeumo and Wissa troubled so many defences because Brentford were so quick to go direct and over the top, allowing them to chase or break quickly in transition when an opponent had committed men up the pitch.

This Igor Thiago scout report analyses how Thiago is helping to fill the void left by Mbeumo and Wissa.

The primarily Central Asian nation of Kazakhstan has never been defined by footballing success.

On the international stage, the Hawks have never been present at a FIFA World Cup, and none of their national icons have been able to grace Europe‘s elite leagues.

Since the brave switch from the Asian Football Confederation to UEFA in 2002, their flag has been raised just once in the knockout stages of a European club competition.

That feat was achieved in 2015 when FC Astana reached the last 32 in the UEFA Europa League.

In this season’s UEFA Champions League, Kairat Almaty became only the second Kazakhstani side to reach the group/league phase of UEFA’s flagship competition.

Kairat’s talisman and best player is also the nation’s best shot at global stardom.

That man is the Almaty-born 17-year-old star: Dastan Satpaev.

With 12 goals in 24 appearances, he is currently the second top scorer in the Kazakhstan Premier League.

Of course, Satpaev was recently snapped up by Chelsea, the latest addition to their bid to headhunt the globe’s premier young talents.

This Dastan Satpaev player analysis and scout report will examine the youngster’s style of play, athletic and technical attributes, and his projected integration into Chelsea’s tactical framework under Enzo Maresca during the 2026/2027 campaign and beyond.

In a league built on structure and experience, Karl Etta Eyong has emerged as Levante’s unexpected spark.

He is a Cameroonian forward who combines physical power, directness, and timing beyond his years.

Still only 21, Eyong’s rise through Levante’s ranks this season has drawn attention not only for his goal output but for how he interprets space and adapts across attacking structures.

What makes Eyong special isn’t simply his pace or strength; it’s how intelligently he applies them.

His movement between the lines, pressing triggers, and capacity to stretch defences have added a new layer to Levante’s attacking identity.

As clubs across Europe examine La Liga more closely for undervalued talent, Eyong stands out as a player whose tactical maturity is developing as fast as his reputation.

Karl Etta Eyong’s numbers underline why he’s quickly drawing attention beyond Levante.

In eight La Liga appearances this season, the 21-year-old Cameroonian has already registered five goals and three assists, averaging a direct goal involvement every 80 minutes.

This is an outstanding figure for a player still adapting to senior football’s demands.

He chooses his moments well, often operating on the blind side of defenders and exploiting small gaps inside the penalty area.

His conversion rate sits among the best in the league for players with comparable minutes, suggesting a striker who finishes actions rather than forcing them.

Through this Karl Etta Eyong scout report, we’ll examine Karl Etta Eyong’s game at Levante, analysing his performances from both tactical and technical perspectives to understand the key traits that define his profile and potential.
