Who is Juan Soto? - Inside the biggest deal in sports history

The biggest contract in the history of sport has just been signed. It's a 15-year deal worth $765m for 26-year-old Major League Baseball player Juan Soto to join the New York Mets. Is Soto worth the jaw dropping contract? How did a deal that big come together? And are European clubs like Chelsea headed in the same direction? We pick the brains of U.S. Sports Business Reporter, Daniel Kaplan, formerly of The Sports Business Journal and The Athletic. After Gabby went to Germany to see Aston Villa's Champions League win over RB Leipzig, we wax lyrical about Jhon Duran and their throwback style.And as Saudi Arabia is confirmed as the host of the 2034 FIFA World Cup, Mark asks what this means for the future of global sporting events. Plus, is this teenager the new Usain Bolt? We try very hard not to big up Australian 16-year-old sensation Gout Gout too much. Like the look of Gabby's Sports Agents mug?
