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 once again proved to be exceptionally busy, with some huge names making big-money moves all the way up to Deadline Day on September 1.
With the transfer window now firmly shut until January, the more ambitious members of English football's middle class are counting the cost of the top-flight's new regulations
The English Football League has fiercely criticised UEFA following a major scheduling clash between the Carabao Cup and the Champions League. Frustrating fixture changes have impacted five domestic matches, moving several crucial ties including Liverpool's heavyweight clash with Tottenham. The EFL has publicly blamed European football's organisers for failing to accommodate domestic calendar constraints.
Tottenham Hotspur prospect Mikey Moore has completed a season-long loan move to Bundesliga side FC Koln following a prolific spell at Rangers. The 19-year-old winger registered seven goals and four assists during his time in Scotland, and he now heads to Germany to gain further top-flight first-team experience across the 2026-27 campaign.
