AC Milan bypassed the traditional glitz of social media teasers and marketing campaigns by springing a major surprise on the San Siro faithful during Sunday’s Serie A clash against Parma. With 73,000 fans watching on, the Rossoneri opted for an unconventional reveal of their brand-new 2025-26 fourth kit, which was hidden until the very moment the players emerged from the tunnel. Led by USMNT talisman Christian Pulisic, the squad stepped out under the floodlights sporting a bold new look that caught the supporters completely off guard.

The suspicion was that the Premier League title race was about to take a very dramatic turn after Manchester City drew to within two points of an increasingly nervy Arsenal on Saturday. However, the Gunners responded in the best possible fashion by routing north London rivals Tottenham the following day to keep their bid for a first championship success since 2004 very much on track.

GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere.

Dusan Vlahovic has reportedly instructed his representatives to prioritise a move to Barcelona as he nears the end of his contract with Juventus.

Mikel Arteta has transformed Arsenal into a juggernaut, but the shadow of an impending exit is already looming over the Emirates Stadium.

Cesc Fabregas was one of the finest midfielders of his generation. He made his Arsenal debut at 16 and, by the age of 23, he'd already won a European Championship and a World Cup with Spain. So, when Como sporting director Carlalberto Ludi says that Fabregas is "even better as a coach" than he was as a player, it's quite the claim.
