THIS could be the biggest transfer battle in football as TV stations scramble to sign up Prince William for his surprise punditry skills.

The 42-year-old royal impressed broadcast bosses and fans alike with his analysis of his team Aston Villa's Champions League quarter-final clash with PSG in Paris on Wednesday.

His insight and knowledge of the game during a stint on TNT Sports sparked a race for his services - and William is said to be relishing the prospect of a return.

BBC, Amazon Prime and Sky Sports all want him alongside their pundits. A royal source said: "Prince William absolutely loved the experience and would 100% be up for doing it again.

"He is a passionate football fan and has really enjoyed following Aston Villa's success this season.

"William believes the beautiful game has the power to bring communities together and is really pleased his appearance has had such a positive reaction."
