This week has been dominated by huge teenage Premier League debuts with Rio Ngumoha’s winner for Liverpool and Max Dowman appearing for Arsenal at just 15. 

Dowman’s former coach at the Arsenal academy, Temisan Williams, joins us in the studio alongside The Telegraph’s Chief Football Writer, Sam Wallace.

What made Dowman stand out? How much does it cost clubs to produce academy players? And after reports Man United could sell homegrown Kobbie Mainoo, leaving no Mancunians in the squad, is the trend of cashing in on homegrown talent stripping clubs of their identity?

Comedian and Grimsby fan Lloyd Griffith rubs Mark's nose in it after the fourth tier side knocked Man United out of the Carabao Cup.

Plus, Gabby and Mark react to Keegan Bradley not selecting himself for the Ryder Cup, and Celtic and Rangers' Champions League exits.

As part of a special weekend edition of The Sports Agents - Gabby's been at Twickenham - the home of England rugby - to speak to key members of England's Red Roses squad ahead of the start of the Women's Rugby World Cup!

Over 375,000 tickets have already sold for a 32-match home tournament which kicks off on Friday as England bid to avenge their narrow World Cup final defeat to New Zealand back in 2021.  

Gabby sits down with Mo Hunt and Emily Scarratt, two of England's most decorated players, as well as, former captain-turned-coach Sarah Hunter, for an insight into the mood in the camp, the pressures of hosting the tournament as favourites and the chance to inspire a whole new generation of rugby fans.

The summer transfer window continues to surprise, with North London rivals battling it out for Eberechi Eze. For a while, it looked as though Spurs had hijacked the deal, stealing Palace's star man away from Arsenal, but then the Gunners swooped in to break Spurs hearts. Cue pandemonium in N7, dejection in N17.

Clive Palmer, host of the 'Arsenal Vision' podcast, was all too happy to join Gabby & Mark to break down what this deal means for a team which thought it had lost Kai Havertz to a long-term injury, but perhaps that has turned out to be a clever ploy too.

Where does Eze fit in to Mikel Arteta's plans? What are the knock-on effects for the rest of the club? And were the board too hasty in extending the contract of Leandro Trossard?

Plus, seven-time Grand Slam doubles champion Jamie Murray joins us to discuss the sweeping changes made to this year's US Open mixed doubles tournament, which championed the highest-profile singles players, offering a $1m payout to the winners.

Premier League debuts don’t come much better than Tijjani Reijnders for Man City on the opening weekend... A player who arrived in England without the fanfare of a Gyokeres or a Wirtz - and looked like he’d been running Pep’s midfield for years...

Former Premier League footballer Stephen Warnock and Andy Brassell, host of European football podcast 'On The Continent', join Gabby & Mark to explore the story behind what’s been described as an 'all-time Premier League debut' and examine the expectations we pile on new arrivals. 

Are European players now being developed in order to be sold to Premier League clubs for a big profit and adapt to the demands of English football quicker? Are we all guilty of overlooking Pep’s serial winners after their struggles last season?

Plus, Chappers' optimism despite Man United's defeat to Arsenal, how long Scheffler would need to remain World no.1 in order to match Tiger's record, Rugby World Cup excitement and an outside shout for who Newcastle should look to replace Isak with!

The Premier League season kicks off tomorrow - so we thought we’d convene some of the Match of The Day gang early and welcome Alan Shearer back onto the podcast. We’ll talk title race, Alexander Isak, and more with the Premier League’s all-time record goalscorer.

And it's not all about the clubs at the top - former Premier League boss Chris Wilder will join us in the studio for an insight into the challenge facing the likes of Sunderland, Leeds and Burnley this year - can any of them buck the trend of the last couple seasons and actually survive relegation? 

Wilder got Sheffield United promoted to the Premier League and managed a ninth place finish in his first season in the top league, but he's since tried to keep them up in two different seasons and both times they were eventually relegated. He almost got the Blades promoted again last season but lost in the final minutes of the playoff final before being sacked.

The Premier League is back this week and the transfer window is wide open, so Mark's catching up with the man who knows more about transfers than most club chairmen - David Ornstein. They bring you the inside scoop on all the biggest deals, including breaking news that Alexander Isak has gone on strike to force a record-breaking move from Newcastle to Liverpool.

And after a social media frenzy followed his decision to credit an 'In The Know' transfer rumour account on X, David talks about the culture of reporting on transfers, competition with the likes of Fabrizio Romano and how the landscape has changed over the last decade.

England had us on the edge of our seats in one of the greatest Test Series ever but less than 24 hours later the bright lights, colourful kits and loud music of The Hundred began. Mark is joined by former England cricketer David 'Bumble' Lloyd and The Guardian's Chief Sports Writer, Barney Ronay, to discuss it all: Is it really true that young people only like the fast, flashy stuff? Is cricket shooting itself and its players in the foot by having too many formats? Are The Hundred's days numbered? Plus, who's making David's Ashes team?

And stick around to the end of the episode for a flavour of our weekend edition - featuring an exclusive interview with Chris Powell, who left crisis club Sheffield Wednesday earlier this week.
