This week in our premium newsletter we have another episode of ‘Peek At My Week’ series, where we poke around inside a freelance journalist’s diary.

We spoke to Greg Lea, an experienced freelance sports journalist who specialises in football, specifically the Premier League, Champions League and various European domestic leagues. He is the former editor of The Set Pieces football website, and was the Premier League correspondent for The National for two years. Greg has been freelance since 2014, and in that time he has written articles for FourFourTwo magazine, The Guardian, The Observer, The Mirror, The Independent, ESPN, WhoScored, TALKSport, and many more.

Read on to find out what his week looks like…
