Xamax Overview

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.

A final embrace and a veiled message

It is “so important” for Bukayo Saka to get back among the goals for Arsenal on a regular basis in 2026-27, Gunners legend Alan Smith has told GOAL. The England international winger savoured Premier League title glory last season, filling the captain’s armband at times, but only found the target on 11 occasions across all competitions - his lowest return in five years.

Jamie Carragher has admitted he is completely baffled by Arsenal's reported willingness to sell academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly during the summer transfer window. The 19-year-old midfielder was reportedly offered to Premier League rivals Manchester United and Chelsea, a move the former Liverpool defender described as strange and unexpected.
