Headlined by Lucas Herrington’s record move to Hull City, almost a third of the World Cup squad are changing clubs with January’s Asian Cup loomingFrom Socceroos to soccer-moves, the World Cup has launched Australia’s top footballers into the transfer vortex, highlighted by this week’s signing of Lucas Herrington and expected signing of Nestory Irankunda at top-flight European clubs.At just 18, Herrington has completed a blockbuster $33m move to Premier League returnees Hull City from Colorado Rapids in a deal that eclipsed the transfer record for an Australian, previously held by Harry Souttar who moved to Leicester City for $26.3m in 2023.

Head coach Wouter Vrancken has been speaking to the media before the second leg of Hearts' third-round Europa League qualifier with Benfica. Vrancken admits star striker Claudio Braga has spoken to him about his future but that those talks will remain confidential, with the Belgian coach fully confident that "as long as he's here" last season's PFA Scotland player of the year will remain "100 per cent committed". Vrancken says the Portuguese striker is "staying at the moment" as he's not aware of any "concrete bids" for the player, who's been linked in the media with a possible move away from the club following the departures of Lawrence Shankland, Cammy Devlin and, just this week, Alexandros Kyziridis.
Russell Martin’s new-look Leicester look set to challenge for promotion, while it could be a tough campaign for Notts County and AFC WimbledonHow did it come to this, that a club crowned Premier League champions a decade ago are down in the third tier?

All the talk right now surrounds the imminent arrival of Haissem Hassan, with the Egypt winger reportedly undergoing his Celtic medical. If everything goes to plan, Hassan will become the latest exciting addition to Martin O'Neill's squad alongside Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh. Three players alone don't necessarily prove anything, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore what looks like a definite shift in Celtic's recruitment strategy.
Kasper Hogh's impressive first-half hat-trick against Kilmarnock drew comparisons to a litany of Celtic's most prestigious forwards. BBC Scotland's chief sportswriter, Tom English, said the Denmark striker, who was making just his second appearance for Martin O'Neill's side, represented "the most proven goalscorer Celtic have signed since Chris Sutton". Current manager O'Neill signed Sutton from Chelsea in what was then the club's record outlay, with Hogh their current biggest fee.
