We may be building up to the Euros and the international football but there is always plenty of time for stories about club sides and transfer news.
In Scotland, the first bit of Celtic transfer business under Brendan Rodgers is almost complete, with Turkish flop Colin Kazim Richards on his way to Brazil.
South of the border, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are among the clubs trying to strengthen their squads with big money signings.
