Harry Kane could move to MLS “when he’s 35”, former Bayern Munich star Dietmar Hamann has told GOAL, while a return to England is also expected to form part of the record-setting striker’s future.

Lewis Hall has emerged as a transfer target for Manchester United, with Chris Waddle telling GOAL why the opportunity to “double” his salary will hold obvious appeal to the Newcastle left-back.

Michael Carrick has helped to turn Manchester United’s fortunes around, but Lee Sharpe has sounded a trophy-winning warning to the Red Devils’ new permanent boss.

So, where do they turn next?
Eddie Howe is considered to be an England manager of the future, but Newcastle legend Chris Waddle has told GOAL that the former Magpies boss should be looking to move abroad for his next job. The 48-year-old has surprisingly become available, with options now being mulled over that will allow already impressive coaching credentials to be enhanced.
Rayan Ait-Nouri has expressed his determination to become a regular goalscorer for Manchester City under new manager Enzo Maresca following his first strike for the club. The Algerian international, who completed a move to the Etihad Stadium in June 2025, featured prominently during City's pre-season tour after making 31 competitive appearances last term.

Napoli are ready to shake up their attacking options this summer as Romelu Lukaku edges closer to an exit, with Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus emerging as a primary target for the Serie A giants.

Paul Mullin is a Wrexham legend, but there is little place for sentiment in professional sport and former Red Dragons star Lee Trundle has admitted to GOAL that football can be “cruel”.

Clean sheet king David Raya is being backed to make Premier League history in 2026-27, with ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack telling GOAL why the Gunners’ No.1 is favourite for a fourth consecutive Golden Glove award.

Despite falling out of favour during the second half of last season amid rumours of a midfield reshuffle, the 24-year-old expressed confidence that the hierarchy want him to remain at the Etihad Stadium.
Tottenham have ruled out selling captain Cristian Romero to north London rivals Arsenal during the summer transfer window. The Gunners eyed a shock move for the defender following William Saliba's long-term injury, but a move to Spain or Italy now appears far more likely.

Manchester City are reportedly ready to play hardball with Barcelona after the Catalan giants made their opening move for midfield anchor Rodri.

Steur has become the latest young star to make the step up from Ajax to the Premier League, completing a shock move to Tyneside having made fewer than 25 appearances for the senior team, and Dutch pundits fear he has made the jump too early - but the player has no doubt he can make an impact in England.
