Coming into the 2025-26 season, there was no doubt that this version of the Los Angeles Kings would be different from last season. With the shake-up of the defensive group, most expected a dip in play on the back end, while bringing back the entire top nine was expected to aid an improvement in offensive production, given that the Kings were second in goals per game after the trade deadline last season.
Arsenal have been dealt a major blow, as one Deadline Day deal has fallen through. The Gunners have enjoyed an unprecedented summer, strengthening their attack with what they hope will be level-raising signings in the form of Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres while also replacing Thomas Partey and Jorginho in midfield with Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard. But though Arsenal's defence has been the strongest part of the team over the last couple of years, it's perhaps where the most surprising moves have happened this summer.
