The boys react to Arsenal advancing their pursuit of Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres — and debate whether he's the right man to lead them to a Premier League title.

They also dig into Arsenal’s wider transfer activity, including their move for Noni Madueke and a possible move for Eberechi Eze.

Meanwhile, over at Manchester United five players have been granted extra time off as they seek moves away from the club. The lads discuss whether this approach makes sense — and why these players are still at the club. They also reflect on Marcus Rashford: has the last 18 months affected his legacy?

With the Club World Cup reaching the semi-final stage, the fellas revisit their early views on the competition — have their minds changed?

All that and more on this week’s episode of The Club.

All three boys are back in the studio for the first time in what feels like forever — and it’s a packed one.

The episode kicks off with Chelsea’s latest signing, João Pedro. The lads discuss how he could ease the creative burden on Cole Palmer, and whether this is the start of a smart summer window. They also break down Chelsea’s wider transfer plans — who else needs to come in, and who still needs to go.

The conversation then shifts to the Club World Cup after Chelsea’s four-hour match, and the lads briefly touch on Man City’s squad and new signings (note — this was recorded before their match against Al Hilal).

The boys also dig into the new broadcast innovations coming next season — including pitchside interviews with substitutes and in-game dressing room access. They question whether these changes will enhance the fan experience or if English football is becoming too Americanised. The fellas also touch on Lee Carsley and his success with England’s U21s — does he deserve more respect in the game?

And finally, the big one: the Mount Rushmore of Premier League Strikers. The boys debate eight iconic names and whittle them down to the final four — including a fiery clash between Adam and Buvey over who deserves a spot.

Rory is joined in the studio by Miles and Flav to break down how Arsenal can finally end their title drought next season. The boys discuss what the Gunners must prioritise in the summer transfer window, and debate the forward options being linked — Rodrygo, Sesko, and Gyokeres. Miles also gives an honest assessment of Arteta and why he believes trophies are a must next season.

With Florian Wirtz officially signing for Liverpool, the lads look at the Reds’ early wins in the transfer market — and ask whether they’re set to dominate English football in the years ahead. Rory also gets Flav’s take on Tottenham’s interest in Crystal Palace star Ebere Eze, and how he could fit into Thomas Frank’s system.

And with two rival fans in the room, the episode wraps with a fierce debate: who makes the ultimate all-time North London XI?
