1. Alvarez is perfect for Barca! Arsenal should avoid transfer war

    No one could ever accuse Julian Alvarez of not knowing exactly what he wants. It was a surprise when he decided to push for a move away from Manchester City in 2024, after winning a pair of Premier League titles and the Champions League in his first two seasons at the club, but the Argentine forward had grown tired of being in the shadow of Norwegian terminator Erling Haaland.

  2. Mr. Reliable Welbeck will be perfect mentor for Pedro at Chelsea

    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.

  3. Rodri's Madrid move would leave City with huge problems

    Manchester City are already entering the unknown as they adjust to life after Pep Guardiola, but that already-gruelling transition could be about to get a whole lot tougher. That is because talismanic midfielder Rodri could be on his way to Real Madrid, who are confident of pulling off what would be a blockbuster deal for Spain's World Cup-winning captain.

  4. Newcastle's miserable year left Howe in impossible position

    Ten days on from the death of Kevin Keegan, Newcastle have been rocked again by the news that the man who completed their beloved former manager's work is stepping down. After U-turning on his decision to continue in the role after a nightmarish 2025-26 campaign, Eddie Howe leaves the Magpies under a cloud with just three weeks until the season begins.

  5. New Chelsea teen out to be 'better than' icon Bronze

    As a young girl, Nelly Las would watch Lucy Bronze and aspire to be just like her. When she enjoyed her breakthrough season at Leicester City, aged just 16, she shared a pitch with the Lionesses icon as the Foxes’ stunned the Blues in a 1-1 draw. Now, the player she idolised and held as a reference point will be her team-mate, after Las became Chelsea’s fourth summer signing.

  6. RANKED: Arsenal's Vini Jr transfer alternatives

    Arsenal's pursuit of Vinicius Junior always seemed like a stretch. It emerged in a bombshell revelation over the weekend that the Gunners were 'exploring' the possibility of striking a deal for the Real Madrid superstar as they seek to make a marquee left-wing signing, but at this stage it looks as though those explorations are going to come to nothing. So, where do they turn next?

  7. Welbeck & Henderson?! Chelsea are RIGHT to target veterans

    Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson could be about to give a whole new meaning to 'the Chelsea Pensioners'. In a staggering pivot away from the youth-driven transfer policy that has defined BlueCo's stewardship since their takeover in 2022, Chelsea are remarkably considering bringing in both the 35-year-old striker and 36-year-old midfielder this summer.

  8. Chelsea's World Cup villain Enzo stuck in transfer limbo

    Chelsea could have a problem on their hands when Enzo Fernandez returns from his post-World Cup holiday - both figuratively and literally. The midfielder and his outspoken agent have made it abundantly clear that he wants to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, and following the ugly conclusion to Argentina's quest for glory in North America, Enzo is now expected to "explore his options". The problem is, he might not have any.
