Hello and welcome into the latest edition of ESPNFC.

0:07.0

We have a whole lot of transfer talk for you coming up on the show today. Craig Burley

0:11.4

is here for it. This is me, K Murray, sat here in this seat tonight for it too. And we are

0:16.3

joined by Senior Football Racer for ESPN James Olly and former professional footballer and

0:21.7

fish chaser Jan Agar, the other top. Let's start with the news, though, shall we of Kai

0:26.8

Roberts who looks to be Arsenal bound and let's talk more about what that deal will entail
