Deadline Day: Football's Transfer Window

Each year, at the close of the football season, all eyes turn to the transfer window. In the summer months, the back pages fill with stories from “well-placed sources” linking players to clubs in a market characterized by chaos and conjecture. From the senior pro who gives back to their community, to the young player desperate to join the club he supports; behind every headline-grabbing deal is a knot of real human motivations. Player moves are the most talked about but the least understood aspect of modern football. “The Window” will deliver a fascinating glimpse behind the veil of the transfer market and illustrate how personal interests of the game’s greatest athletes, shape the destinies of the league, clubs and the agents.
