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.
Manchester City have delivered their verdict on Chelsea's massive valuation of Malo Gusto as Enzo Maresca looks to raid his former club. The Blues are demanding a premium fee for the French full-back to help balance the books following a heavy summer of spending under new manager Xabi Alonso.
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber has defended the club's decision to allow veteran striker Danny Welbeck to join Chelsea on a two-year contract. The 35-year-old ended a successful six-year stint on the South Coast, where he became the club's all-time top scorer in the Premier League, after Brighton opted against matching Chelsea's contract offer.
Former Everton senior scout Bryan King has urged Chelsea striker Liam Delap to leave Stamford Bridge for Goodison Park this summer to rebuild his career. Following a difficult debut campaign in West London, Delap has been advised to follow the pathway carved out by Romelu Lukaku when he made a similar move early in his career.
