🚨 After HSV: Second Bundesliga newcomer confirmed!
After Hamburger SV had already secured promotion to the Bundesliga last week, the second team to move up to the top division has now followed on Matchday 34! 1. FC Köln won their season finale against 1. FC Kaiserslautern 4-0 and can even celebrate the second division championship. This is because HSV lost their match in Fürth 2-3. For coach Friedhelm Funkel, who only took over the Billy Goats on May 5th, this marks the seventh promotion of his coaching career. With this, he further extends his status as the sole leader in this category.

Five of the most random football transfers made this summer
Football transfers don't often surprise in the modern game. With ever-increasing access to data and news, most signings can be somewhat predicted when a window opens. But, shocks aren't entirely extinct. This summer we've seen several surprise signings, with players moving to destinations few expected when the window opened up. Five of the most random football transfers made this summer Granit Xhaka – Bayer Leverkusen to Sunderland The last two seasons have perhaps been the best of Granit Xhaka's career. The Switzerland international was a driving force in Bayer Leverkusen's 2023/24 Bundesliga title success, the first in the club's history. Last season, despite failing to defend their crown, Xhaka was named in the Bundesliga Team of the Season for the second straight year. Despite the prospect of another season of Champions League football, Xhaka has swapped Die Werkself for Wearside. Newly-promoted Sunderland have landed the 32-year-old in a deal that sees the former Arsenal midfielder return to England. Instantly installed as captain, Xhaka will be tasked with helping the Black Cats consolidate after nine seasons outside the Premier League. Evan Ferguson – Brighton to AS Roma It wasn't so long ago that Evan Ferguson was being touted as a £100m footballer. Injuries and a loss of form have seen the Irishman's career stall, with a loan move to West Ham last season failing to ignite his fortunes. Rome is now the destination of his intended renaissance. The Italian giants have signed Ferguson on a season-long loan deal, with an option to purchase for a reported transfer fee of €40m. Under new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, he'll hope to thrive at the Stadio Olimpico. Lennon Miller – Motherwell to Udinese Given the success stories of Scottish midfielders in Serie A of late, perhaps Lennon Miller's move to Udinese should not surprise. The 18-year-old has departed for Italy, earning Motherwell a record £4.75m fee. He'll look to follow in the footsteps of Lewis Ferguson (Bologna), Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay (Both Napoli), each of who have won major trophies since swapping British football for Serie A. Youssoufa Moukoko – Borussia Dortmund to FC Copenhagen Youssoufa Moukoko was projected for big things after bursting onto the scene at Borussia Dortmund. After record-breaking feats at youth level, he became the youngest player and goalscorer in Bundesliga history. A bright start for Moukoko fizzled out, however, with the striker loaned to Nice last season after falling out of favour. This summer, Dortmund allowed the 20-year-old to leave for Copenhagen in a cut-price €5m deal. He's scored once in five appearances to date, as he looks to avoid becoming tagged with the failed wonderkid label. Tyler Morton – Liverpool to Lyon Despite interest from the Premier League and Championship, Tyler Morton has made the move to Ligue 1. The 22-year-old has joined Lyon from Liverpool for a fee that could reach around £15m, with the Reds retaining a 20% sell-on clause. A member of England's victorious side at this summer's u-21 European Championship, the midfielder signs for a Lyon side who will play Europa League football this season.

Deal reached, Amine Adli set to join Bournemouth for €29 million
Moroccan star's imminent departure after four seasons in the Bundesliga. Amine Adli / Bayer Leverkusen Amine Adli is on the verge of experiencing the Premier League. The Moroccan attacking midfielder is leaving Bayer Leverkusen to join AFC Bournemouth in a transfer valued between €29 and €30 million. The Moroccan international is closer than ever to starting a new chapter in his career after four successful seasons in Germany. Bayer Leverkusen and Bournemouth have reached an agreement for Amine Adli, who will undergo his medical in the coming hours. The Cherries will pay an initial fee of €21 million plus €9 million in add-ons, with some bonuses considered difficult to achieve by observers. The English club outpaced the competition to secure the services of the Moroccan international. Marseille and Sunderland had also shown interest in the Toulouse-born player, but the Cherries managed to convince him with their sporting project. Bayer Leverkusen has given the green light for Adli to complete his medical examination.

Paris FC sign Germany goalkeeper Trapp
German international goalkeeper Kevin Trapp returned to France for a second spell on Wednesday, signing for newly-promoted Paris FC from Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt. The 35-year-old, capped nine times, has signed a three-year contract with Paris FC, who are backed by the Arnaults, one of the world's wealthiest families. They opened their campaign -- their first in France's top flight in 46 years -- in disappointing fashion with a 1-0 defeat away at Angers on Sunday. "Paris FC is proud to welcome Kevin," the club said in a statement. Trapp previously played for their city rivals Paris Saint-Germain from 2015 to 2018, and was a regular in the side that won the Ligue 1 title in 2016 before gradually falling out of favour. He returned to Eintracht -- for whom he had played from 2012 to 2015 -- on loan in 2018 before signing permanently. Trapp played in the side that won the Europa League in 2022, and was man of the match in the final against Rangers. He then helped Eintracht finish third in the Bundesliga last term, the first time they had made the top three since 1993. He will bring the experience at the top level that for the moment is lacking in 22-year-old Obed Nkambadio, who was first choice last season and played in the Angers game. Paris FC's next challenge is away in the febrile atmosphere of the Stade Velodrome at Marseille, who also lost their opener 1-0 to Rennes. gk/si/pi/as
