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.

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!

The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.
