The Premier League may be done and dusted for the summer but there’s still lots to talk about, including academies.

The FA Cup takes place this weekend between Manchester United and Manchester City, while there will be Euro 2024 next month and Olympic football – featuring Kylian Mbappe – in the summer.

The Premier League is known for its strong depth in football academies, where the players of the future ply their trade hoping for a shot at the big time.
