How will he fit in at Anfield and does this mean the end of Darwin Nunez? Elsewhere, Crystal Palace look to have found their way out of the situation that threatened their Europa League participation, with John Textor selling his share of the club to a fellow American.

After winning Tottenham silverware for the first time in nearly 2 decades - and a Champions League place on top - has the Aussie been hard done by, or was his pathetic Premier League season too much to recover from?

Manchester United have made a swift start to their summer transfer business with the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves. The Brazilian looks set to improve Ruben Amorim's side immediately, but it's clear the Red Devils need more if they're to get back towards the top of the Premier League. Brentford's Brian Mbeumo is another name linked with a switch to Old Trafford, but does the French winger fit Amorim's system? Across Manchester, City are also planning to raid Wolves for one of their stars as Rayan Ait-Nouri continues to be heavily linked with the club in a big money move. AC Milan midfielder Tijani Reijnders is also closing in on a move as Pep Guardiola looks to revamp his squad after a poor season.

The season is over, the dust is settling and it’s a busy podcast as Niall and Marley digest it all. Chelsea won the champions league shootout at the City Ground, although Gary Neville wasn’t there to see it, as Levi Colwill’s goal proved the difference to send the Blues into Europe’s premier competition. Aston Villa missed out on a second consecutive appearance in the same competition though, as a controversial call in their game against Man United saw Morgan Rogers’ goal chalked out. Is there a silver lining for the Villans though? Elsewhere, Spurs lost again, Newcastle rode their luck and we finally discuss the worst Europa League final ever that took place last week.
