Welcome to Transfer Talk, brought to you by Bet 365, where every nail biting Neil-Neil, every bizarre

VAR, every foregone conclusion, bad pass, slam dunk, tap in, false start, dead heat,

From football to tennis and ice hockey to motorsports.

Whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Bet 365. Hello and

there's a young kid that I want. Go and get him. It was simple as that.
