AEK Athens B Overview

Chelsea have reportedly joined the race to sign highly-rated Atalanta centre-back Giorgio Scalvini as Xabi Alonso looks to reshape his backline at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have already initiated contact with the Italian's representatives to determine the financial requirements of a potential summer switch to west London.

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.

Tottenham secured a dramatic 2-1 pre-season victory over London rivals Chelsea at Accor Stadium despite playing almost the entire second half with ten men. Richarlison poked home a last-minute winner after Xabi Alonso's side had dominated the contest following Kevin Danso's controversial sending off.

Chelsea have been fined £10m and given a suspended transfer ban over historical financial breaches regarding payments made to agents between 2009 and 2022. The Football Association opted to set aside a suspended six-point deduction following extensive self-reporting by the club’s new owners, bringing regulatory proceedings to a formal close.
