Sandro Tonali was being linked with Manchester United and teams across Europe, but has completed a £100 million ($134m) transfer to Tottenham. Is that big-money move the result of a desire to live in London? Ex-Spurs star Danny Murphy has answered that question during an exclusive interview with GOAL, while assessing a busy window in the English capital.
Morgan Gibbs-White can see his No.10 “ego” massaged at Nottingham Forest, Reds legend Des Walker has told GOAL, with there no need for a transfer elsewhere to be considered. The England international playmaker is a proven Premier League performer, which means that he inevitably attracts interest, but “main man” status can continue to be enjoyed at the City Ground.
Xabi Alonso has expressed his immense excitement regarding the vast potential of his new Chelsea squad after officially taking charge at Stamford Bridge. The 44-year-old tactician has issued a firm demand for relentless hard work during pre-season, promising disillusioned supporters that a prosperous new era is on the horizon.
Former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has spent roughly 10 hours in French police custody as part of a major judicial investigation into organised money laundering, according to reports in France. The 39-year-old pundit was questioned by financial investigators in Paris regarding suspected ties to a network linked to international drug trafficking.
Manchester City have secured the return of former academy goalkeeper Pierce Charles after agreeing a £10 million package with Sheffield Wednesday. The Northern Ireland international has put pen to paper on a long-term contract at the Etihad Stadium, but he will spend the upcoming campaign on loan in the Championship with Queens Park Rangers.
Morgan Rogers has seen a big-money transfer away from Aston Villa speculated on - potentially at £130 million ($175m) - but Stan Collymore has told GOAL why the likes of Phil Foden and Eberechi Eze are unlikely to be targeted as potential replacements for their fellow England international. Unai Emery is expected to bolster his ranks with a different type of player.
What's the cheapest way to watch as much Premier League football a season?
Currently, the most cost efficient package looks to be picking up a TV deal through Virgin Media or EE TV.
Existing TV or broadband customers can add TNT Sports to Virgin Media for £12 per month and Sky Sports for £31.75 per month, adding on Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
EE TV (formerly BT TV) also provide their Big Sport deal which includes TNT Sports and Sky Sports via NOW TV, for £45 per month, which is available for existing broadband customers, with the addition of Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
However, when it comes to bang for your buck, if you’re wanting to spend a little less, then the Complete Sky Sports package from an additional £22 per month on top of your current Sky TV deal is the best option, giving you over 128 games across a single season.
