Records are tumbling during the transfer window as clubs across the world spend big in order to bolster their squads for the challenges to come.

Neymar's shocking move to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona for an eye-watering €222 million deal made headlines around the world, smashing the world transfer record, and there's still much more business to be done before the window closes at the beginning of September.

It is hard to please everybody at the best of times, and so the changes to both the format and the timing of competitions were always going to bring reactions on different ends of the spectrum.

The ongoing Star Sixes legends tournament in London has brought together some of sport's greatest names from the last 20 years to contest a competitive six-a-side tournament at the O2 Arena.

For the inaugural event, Nigeria were Africa's only representatives, but considering what a success the tournament has been, don't be surprised to see another - potentially extended - edition next year.
