All you need to know about securing Premier League tickets for the 2026/27 season

Borussia Dortmund have stepped up their pursuit of Said El Mala, but their opening offer has been rejected by Koln as falling well below the club's valuation. With Brentford previously willing to pay €50 million, the transfer battle is far from over.

The transfer window usually dominates the back pages during the summer, but that's rarely the case in tournament years as the market is forced to take a back seat. Business never sleeps, however, and several deals have gone under the radar during the 2026 World Cup. After five-and-a-half weeks and some 104 matches, the big event is finally over, which means attention can now turn to the comings and goings at club level.

Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk could play their home Champions League fixtures in England next season after launching exploratory talks with a Premier League club. The ongoing conflict in their homeland has forced the displaced side to evaluate alternative European venues, with London emerging as a strong potential destination.
