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 once again proved to be exceptionally busy, with some huge names making big-money moves all the way up to Deadline Day on September 1.
Rising American winger Mathis Albert was the subject of loan interest during the summer transfer window, sources tell GOAL, but Borussia Dortmund opted to keep hold of the teenage starlet due to their plans for him with the first team. Albert made his professional debut for Dortmund last season and started for the club on Tuesday in the DFB-Pokal.
Arsenal have finalised a season-long loan move for Ethan Nwaneri to join Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund on Deadline Day. The highly-rated midfielder heads to Germany in search of regular first-team minutes after finding opportunities limited at the Emirates Stadium. The deal does not include a permanent purchase option, meaning he will return to London next summer.
Borussia Dortmund have formalised their interest in Arsenal starlet Ethan Nwaneri as they look to bolster their attacking options before the transfer deadline. The Bundesliga giants are pushing for a season-long loan for the 19-year-old, who has found first-team opportunities limited at the Emirates Stadium this season.
Nick Woltemade poses a transfer “problem” for Newcastle, with Dietmar Hamann explaining to GOAL what the “best solution” for the German striker could be ahead of the summer deadline passing. The towering frontman has only spent 12 months at St James’ Park, following a big-money move, but could soon bid farewell to Tyneside and the Premier League.
Juventus have identified Newcastle United forward Nick Woltemade as a surprise target in the final stages of the summer transfer window. The Bianconeri are reshaping their attack and could turn to the German youth international as they look to bolster their offensive options under the new project in Turin.
