Premier League transfer window 2026

Deadline Day 2026: every rumour scored, and the wrong ones kept

Transfer coverage is graded on speed and nothing else, so the stories that never happen simply disappear and no one keeps score. This page keeps score. Every Premier League rumour is weighted by the tier of the source reporting it, how far the claim has actually progressed, how many independent outlets corroborate it and how fresh it is — and when one collapses, it stays on a public ledger with the reason.

What the score means

Tier 1 · Elite (85+)

Direct confirmation from a primary source with a track record of being right.

Tier 2–3 · Reliable (40–84)

Reputable reporting, cross-referenced against at least one independent outlet.

Tier 4 · Speculative (<40)

Single-source gossip or agent briefing. Shown, and shown for what it is.

A score is a claim about the reporting, not about the player. A high score on a move that never happens is a failure of this page, and it is recorded as one: nothing has been withdrawn yet this window, and the ledger stays visible when it is.
