Township Rollers Overview

The awaited leader appears early

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.

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.

Manchester United have been offered “best” transfer advice by Patrice Evra, with the former Red Devils star telling GOAL that Victor Osimhen should be brought to Old Trafford. The prolific Nigeria international remains on the books of Turkish giants Galatasaray, but has seen a Premier League move mooted for some time and 2026 could be the year in which a deal is done.
