As the highly anticipated 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League season approaches, new research from SeatPin has explored the psychology behind managerial decision-making. By analysing the habits of last year's champion, experts have revealed why consistency is far more crucial than chasing form in Gameweek 1.
Robbie Keane is a managerial free agent, having cut his coaching teeth outside of British football, and Graham Stack has - during an exclusive interview with GOAL - stated his surprise that no club has “picked the phone up and begged” the former Tottenham and Liverpool striker to take their reins. For now, the ex-Republic of Ireland international is waiting on enticing offers to be tabled.
Napoli have agreed a deal to sell Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku to Turkish giants Fenerbahce for €6 million plus bonuses. The 33-year-old forward has already passed his medical and agreed a contract worth €10m per season ahead of his move to Istanbul.
Sevilla have finalised the signing of Scottish striker Robbie Ure from Swedish league leaders IK Sirius in a deal worth an initial £5.5m. The 22-year-old forward has put pen to paper on a five-year contract after undergoing a successful medical in Spain, adding fresh attacking impetus ahead of the new La Liga campaign.
Inter are entering the final stages of a deal to bring Tottenham Hotspur wing-back Djed Spence to the San Siro as a direct replacement for Denzel Dumfries. The England international has emerged as the priority target for the Nerazzurri hierarchy, who are looking to finalise the transfer before the start of the new Serie A campaign.
Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have all learned their opponents for the third qualifying round of the Women's Champions League, with victory in the final round of the preliminary stage to secure passage through to the league phase of the 2026-27 edition of the UWCL. With the likes of Ajax and Inter lurking as potential opposition, Tuesday's draw threw up some interesting ties.
Fulham have completed the signing of Northern Ireland international midfielder Shea Charles in a deal worth up to £30m from Southampton. The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract at Craven Cottage to become the most expensive player in his country's history, strengthening the squad ahead of the new Premier League season.
Ronald Araujo has wasted no time in making his mark at Anfield, revealing the deeply personal and emotional significance behind his choice of shirt number. The Uruguayan powerhouse completed a high-profile season-long loan move from Barcelona to Liverpool earlier this week, providing a major boost to the Reds' defensive options.
Aston Villa are set to receive a significant financial boost as Unai Emery's side finalise preparations for their UEFA Super Cup showdown against Paris Saint-Germain in Salzburg. The Europa League winners will pocket millions in prize money from European football's governing body, providing key funds as they seek late summer transfer deals.
Everton have officially completed the signing of Brennan Johnson from Crystal Palace on a four-year contract. The deal sees Dwight McNeil move in the opposite direction to Selhurst Park in a high-profile player swap.
Former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon believes a swap deal involving Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford and Gunners youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly makes sense for both clubs. Dixon insists Mikel Arteta would be the ideal manager to reignite the England international's career on the left flank.
