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.
Former West Ham United chairman David Sullivan has been strongly advised by the operators of the London Stadium not to attend the club's home fixtures. The advice comes amid concerns over potential fan unrest and anti-social behaviour following recent historic sexual misconduct allegations, which the former director categorically denies.
Newly-promoted Hull City have joined West Ham United in the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur outcast Manor Solomon. While Spurs value the 27-year-old Israeli international at around £20m, the winger is expected to attract opening bids of between £10m and £20m, with a deal set to gain momentum quickly over the coming days.
Former England striker Jermain Defoe has left his post as Woking manager after just four months and six league games in charge. The 43-year-old departed the National League club by mutual consent following a brief stint, describing his first managerial role as an eye-opening experience that ultimately became impossible to continue.
Crysencio Summerville has completed a surprise £60m move from West Ham to Al-Hilal after signing a four-year contract. The Netherlands international attracted interest from several European clubs, but the Saudi Pro League side ultimately secured one of the summer's biggest transfers.
