Squawka Talker host Greg Johnson is joined by Greg Stobart and Muhammad Butt to talk pre-season: friendlies, transfers, training and the other elements that go into preparing for a successful league campaign.

The pod discuss the first few friendly results and whether any conclusions can be drawn from their outcomes, why Pep Guardiola and Manchester City have scheduled fewer games than their opponents and the key ingredients that go into a successful pre-season.

Transfers are also on the agenda. Why N'Golo Kante chose Arsenal over Chelsea? What's the latest with Paul Pogba? Will Liverpool's short-term move for defensive cover come off? Where might Sofiane Boufal and Georges-Kévin Nkoudou be going this summer? Plus who are the winners and losers of pre-season so far?
