The Los Angeles Lakers’ offseason, in large part, has been centered around 40-year-old superstar LeBron James. Last Sunday, James put the retirement rumors to rest by opting into his $52.6 million player option. Still, based on the ridiculously high number of hypothetical trade proposals the 21-time All-Star has been involved in recently (due to his agent’s intriguing post-contract decision comments), the idea of James returning to the Lakers appears not to be a foregone conclusion. The New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Golden State are unquestionably the three most popular trade destinations for James this summer. However, according to an…
The last couple of weeks have been highly unusual from an Arsenal perspective. While fans have grown accustomed to the club dragging their feet in the transfer window, they’ve seen the Gunners sign Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi, while also getting closer to the statement signing of Viktor Gyokeres. Furthermore, the Premier League runners-up have also been heavily linked with more attackers, such as the incredibly exciting Eberechi Eze, who has a £68m release clause in his contract. The England international would undoubtedly be an excellent addition to the Gunners’ squad, but one that might require an exit. Eze has…
One Liverpool full-back has now officially completed a free move to Arsenal. The Reds were busy in the first month of the transfer window, securing six new additions before the turn of the month of July.

But Liverpool’s summer transfer activity hasn’t been only about additions. A few of the club’s players have already moved this summer. Trent Alexander-Arnold was the first to move, and he…
Nikola Jokic isn’t just the heart and soul of the Denver Nuggets – he’s also one of the most dominant players the NBA has seen in the last decade. A champion, three-time MVP, and owner of historic stats, the Serbian center is coming off a season in which he averaged nearly 30 points, 13 rebounds, and over 10 assists per game – a simply monstrous level of play. While all signs point to Denver continuing to build its roster around him, recent comments from team president Josh Kroenke have left many fans wondering. Kroenke reaffirmed his full commitment to Jokic,…

After officially joining Nottingham Forest, Edu Gaspar will finally have the chance to work with one player he was eager to sign at Arsenal. It was a real shock when Edu left Arsenal in November, stepping away from his role as sporting director in search of a new challenge. Mikel Arteta was stunned when Edu left, as the Brazilian and his Spanish counterpart had enjoyed almost five years together, with the former player an advocate for the Arsenal manager’s hiring. A new challenge is on the horizon for Arsene Wenger’s former midfielder, as the Gunners’ ex-sporting director has taken on…
Mike Maignan was the topic of heavy interest from Chelsea earlier this summer. However, he did not move to London, and has remained with AC Milan. There can be a lot said about the Maignan transfer saga. It all happened rather quickly and was quite messy. However, there is now a chance that he could renew with Milan, with reports suggesting that talks could re-open. However, it could have had an impact elsewhere. Earlier today, it was reported that the Rossoneri have had a bid rejected for Guela Doue. This afternoon, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed this, whilst adding some extra…
AC Milan are considering a deal for Victor Osimhen this summer, with an elite striker sought by the new head coach, Massimiliano Allegri. There have been a few suggestions about Milan and Osimhen in recent months, though, they have largely hinged on the situation of Rafael Leao. If the winger was to depart, then a move for the Nigerian would be made, that sort of idea. However, a new idea is starting to form at Casa Milan it seems. The clause As Il Mattino, a Napoli-dedicated outlet, writes (via MilanNews), Galatasary have a concrete offer on the table to the…
This summer, AC Milan need to sign a right-back, and several names have been linked. However, a new idea has arisen today. There has been a consistent issue with Milan in the past two years. At right-back there is no clarity. It has been shown time and time again, and the past three mercatos have shown this. In each mercato, the Rossoneri have signed a right-back, each time, they have failed to assert themselves. Filippo Terracciano, Emerson Royal and Kyle Walker. Milan cannot afford, both on and off the pitch, for this to happen again. So, careful considerations must be…
Once again, AC Milan are in the mercato for a right-back, for the third successive window. Today, they have been knocked back a little in their hunt. It is not really a surprise that Milan need full-backs, less so that the Rossoneri are in need of a right-back. After all, the situation in the position has been ongoing for a few years now and there is no sense of getting it right just yet. However, with a new head coach and sporting director in, there can be hope for the situation. There have been a few ideas so far this…
