For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.
Brighton have raised more than £600 million ($814m) from sales in recent years, but Mark McGhee has explained to GOAL why the Seagulls are not a selling club - at least not through choice. The likes of Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Leandro Trossard, Yves Bissouma, Alexis Mac Allister and Carlos Baleba have all departed the Amex Stadium.
Fabian Hurzeler is younger than some Premier League players, with Mark McGhee telling GOAL why the “ageless” 33-year-old is “only going to get better” as he follows in illustrious footsteps at Brighton. The Seagulls have seen the likes of Graham Potter and Roberto De Zerbi pass through their dugout before going on to land prestigious Premier League posts.
The Carabao Cup third-round draw has set up a massive all-Premier League clash, with Liverpool preparing to host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. The draw also revealed several other exciting potential top-flight encounters, as Manchester United face Brighton, while Arsenal travel to Ipswich Town in a highly anticipated and busy week of domestic cup action across England.
Liverpool have officially shifted their focus in the transfer market, launching a massive bid for Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr. The move comes after the club decided to walk away completely from negotiations for Brighton forward Yankuba Minteh, leaving Andoni Iraola desperate to secure attacking reinforcements before the summer transfer deadline.
