The champions league final is here and it will be a box office affair between Liverpool and Real Madrid but this article is about chopping and shoving; the transfer season is here, brace up for ridiculous rumors and surprise moves but one thing is certain, we’ll bring you every bit of it.

Aston Villa targeting the title?

Steven Gerrard may not have achieved a top ten finish in his first attempt but he certainly has a plan for the second opportunity with his team signing three players already and you wouldn’t even believe that the window isn’t officially open yet.

Kamara joined on a free, Phillippe Coutinho completed a permanent move from Barcelona and we can now confirm that Diego Carlos has signed for Aston Villa from Sevilla… Should we be worried?

The rumor mill toys with Arsenal fans

We know the Julian Draxler annual link to Arsenal and some standard click baits but how did Alvaro Morata and Arsenal enter the same sentence?

Hector Bellerin has said he wants to stay at Betis, William Saliba will come back and Fiorentina won’t sign Lucas Torreira; take all that to the bank but whoever started the Morata news need some meeting with Arsenal fans, it would be peaceful trust me.

Newcastle means business!

There’s money to spend and there’s a buzzing manager to believe in, expect some big names to join Newcastle and that means big trouble for the existing top six.

We can confirm that Eddie Howe’s side are back in Lyon to lure Bruno Guimaeres’ former teammate, Lucas Paqueta to St. James’s Park and we’re hearing the Tyneside club is also raiding Wolves for Raul Jimenez, interesting times ahead.

Patrick Schick extends at Leverkusen

Lots of players will be moving this season and we can guess a lot of them, but one player that has decided to stay, at least for now is Bayern Leverkusen striker Patrick Schick.

The Czech Republic forward has signed a new deal at the German side till 2027, and that ends a long period of speculation of a possible move away to the premier league where Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham have been rumored to be interested.

Wait what? Leeds United sign a left back for £28m?

What is going on at Elland Road? Leeds United have completed the signing of RB Salzburg left back Brenden Aaronson for a mammoth £28m and we’re wondering what the rationale is.

Leeds need lots of defenders, their run with the relegation battle was strictly down to their inability to defend but a left back from Salzburg for that much? How much will they buy midfield supports and attacking talents? We wait to see.
