## Resource

John Bennett is joined by Mina Rzouki and Julien Laurens to assess the aftermath of the transfer window on Ligue 1 in France after many of its young stars departed for the Premier League. Julien also gives us the lowdown on Malick Fofana's dramatic deadline day move to Sunderland. We're also joined by Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen, joint-head coaches of Norwegian side Viking, following their qualification for the Champions League league phase. The team look at whether moving to Juventus can revitalise Nick Woltemade's career. And we find out how SV Elversberg, from a town of 13,000 people, have reached the Bundesliga.
