Kobbie Mainoo reportedly wants to leave Manchester United to a club abroad, which is obviously music to our ears, so we speculate where he could or should end up this summer. In Italy, Kyle Walker's personal life continues to be targeted by the press, while Che Adams nears a Scottish record after his 8th Serie A goal of the season. Elsewhere, Lee Johnson's first match in charge of Lommel SK is one for the ages, while in Miami we were cruelly denied a Zaha-Messi showdown but there were still plen...

Following last week's roundup of the Brits in action on MLS opening weekend, we reflect on Wilfried Zaha's belated MLS debut in the derby win against Atlanta United with the help of Charlotte FC expert Caleb Adams. It's been a big week for the Scots in Italy, with Billy Gilmour shining on his first Napoli start since November, and at least one Scottish player will feature in the Coppa Italia final after Liam Henderson leads Empoli to a shock at Juventus. There's ANOTHER hat-trick for Mika Bieret...

The new MLS season gets underway across the Atlantic, and we round up the Brits involved in their side's opening fixtures, including a strong English contingent at Charlotte FC - no Wilfried Zaha yet, however - and a former Manchester United defender getting a clean sheet on his debut for San Diego. Back in Europe, a number of our contingent found their Champions League adventures end in the play-off phase, including Mika Biereth, Lloyd Kelly and most notably Ademola Lookman. We discuss the fall...

Despite an injury time winner at Manchester City in the Champions League, the big talking point in Jude Bellingham's week was a red card controversy at Osasuna. We ask, what is the real difference between F You and F Off? Elsewhere in Europe, Mika Biereth bags another hat-trick already for Monaco, Chuba Akpom is two for two at Lille and Bayern scrape a point at Leverkusen despite the best efforts of Nathan Tella. In Portugal, there's a manager of the month award for a certain Scot at Estoril, bo...

After a chaotic month or so of transfer window gossip and debate, we took the opportunity to focus this episode on how the Brits abroad have been getting on for their clubs across the world in the last week or so. There are mixed fortunes as the likes of Chuba Akpom, Lloyd Kelly and Daniel Oyegoke make their debuts for their new teams, while Tammy Abraham bags a brace in the Coppa Italia against his current employers. There's a first goal for the surprise Saudi Pro League signing Brad Young - th...

The January transfer window shuts for the majority of major European leagues, and there are lots of late deals of players leaving to play abroad to catch you up on. Chuba Akpom has a new home in France, Lloyd Kelly makes a dream jump to Juventus, and Carney Chukwuemeka escapes his Chelsea hell with a loan move to Dortmund. We also spotlight some of the homecomings - Marcus Edwards to Burnley?! - and the moves that didn't transpire, not least a transfer fiasco involving Jordan Henderson, Ajax and...

We get to close a couple cases this week, as the mysteries around Michail Antonio and Jason Puncheon from the last episode are solved.

Elsewhere, Steven Gerrard has brought another old friend to Al-Ettiffaq, while Gareth Southgate's former England assistant may have bagged a new job in Japan. Plus, we discuss the future of...

The last week has seen plenty of British-born footballers on diaspora duty for international sides outside the UK, although only a few got what they were hoping for out of it. Those in action for Gambia and Sierra Leone saw their AFCON hopes evaporate, while Jamaica lost in their Nations League Quarter Final after a series of bad luck from the UK diaspora including a missed penalty, a red card and - perhaps most infuriatingly of all - a lost passport. A changing of the guard down the bottom end ...

The transfer market continues to bring more British players abroad to pastures new, with Saido Berahino heading to India and Samuel Iling-Junior making an immediate return to Serie A.
