  • Tottenham 'monitoring Eberechi Eze situation'

    Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on the situation of Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze, according to a report.

    The 25-year-old has gone from strength to strength since joining the Eagles from Queens Park Rangers in 2020, commanding a £15.4m fee to leave the Championship club.

    Eze has since registered 15 goals and 11 assists in 93 games for Palace, although his development was hampered by an Achilles problem in the 2021-22 season.

    However, Eze shone for the Eagles last term with 10 goals and four assists from 38 Premier League games as Roy Hodgson's side quashed any talk of a relegation dogfight with an 11th-placed finish.

    Thiago Alcantara 'not in talks with Al Ahli'

    Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara is reportedly not in discussions over a move to Saudi Arabian giants Al Ahli.

    The Spain international is now in the final year of his contract with the Anfield giants and has been tipped to leave this summer as part of their midfield overhaul.

    Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have already made lucrative moves to the Saudi Pro League this summer, while Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Leighton Clarkson have also departed for pastures new.

    With Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister arriving to compete with Stefan Bajcetic, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott for midfield starts, minutes may be even harder for Thiago to come by next term.

    Chelsea 'trigger £20m Tyler Adams release clause'

    Chelsea have triggered the £20m release clause in the contract of Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams, according to a report.

    The USA international only touched down at Elland Road last summer but was unable to prevent the Whites from sliding back down into the Championship for the 2023-24 season.

    As a result, Adams has been expected to depart Leeds after just one season at the club, following a mass exodus of players out of the Elland Road exit door in the summer window.

    While Adams remains under contract with Daniel Farke's side for another four years, his terms reportedly include a clause allowing him to depart for a mere £20m following the Whites' relegation.

    Lincoln sign Jack Burroughs on loan from Coventry


    "I'm at the stage of my career where I need to play games, I was interested as soon as the club showed an interest in me and the style of play suits me," he told the club website.

    "I know players who have been here before, such as Lewis Fiorini and Brooke Norton-Cuffy, and they've spoken very highly of the club as well as the supporters - how much noise they can create and how they get behind you. It feels like a good place for me to come, show people what I can do and move forward in my career."

    Lincoln's director of football Jez George added: "We have concentrated so far this summer on securing permanent signings but, unless something unexpected happens, we will now be concentrating on the loan market to complete the squad.

    "Jack is a fantastic addition for us, with the physicality and athleticism we are looking for in this position, ready to play in League One and crucial in our squad build by being able to provide competition in both wing-back positions."

    Partick Thistle sign Wes McDonald on one-year deal

    "Wes was a player who our scouting team had identified before the end of last season, so he's been on our radar for a number of months. He had a number of options over the summer but has decided that Maryhill will be his home for the next season, at least, and I'm so pleased about that," said Thistle boss Kris Doolan.

    "He can play on the wing or off the striker and offers a real directness that I think you need in the Championship. He's not afraid to go and take on his man or try a shot and we want players who'll go and make things happen in the final third for us."

    Celtic send Ben McPherson on loan to Queen's Park

    "After a good period in pre-season with Celtic, both the club and I felt that a loan move would be ideal for my further development," he told the Queen's Park website.

    "There was interest from other clubs, but once I had spoken to Marijn Beuker and Robin Veldman about the project and philosophy at Queen's Park, I felt it would be a first-class opportunity for me to continue to learn and develop at a very progressive club.

    "I am here to work hard and to give 110% effort to the club, staff, my colleagues on the pitch, and most importantly the fans."

    West Ham United announce Edson Alvarez signing

    West Ham United have announced the signing of midfielder Edson Alvarez from Ajax.

    The 25-year-old has put pen to paper on a five-year contract until June 2028 and moves to the London Stadium for an undisclosed fee, believed to be worth in the region of £35m.

    Alvarez will wear the No.19 shirt for the Europa Conference League winners and has become David Moyes's first signing of the summer transfer window.

    Speaking to West Ham's official website on his arrival at the club, Alvarez said: "I am very happy and very proud to be here. Being here in London and seeing London Stadium, it's amazing. I can't wait to play here in front of the West Ham fans.

    Celtic confirm sale of Carl Starfelt to Celta Vigo

    Celtic have confirmed the sale of defender Carl Starfelt to La Liga club Celta Vigo.

    The 28-year-old departs the Glaswegian giants after two seasons at Parkhead, scoring three goals in 87 appearances across all competitions.

    Starfelt won five domestic honours with Celtic including last season's historic Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and League Cup treble.

    The Sweden international featured regularly under former boss Ange Postecoglou last season, playing in a total of 37 games, before making his final appearance for the Hoops as a substitute in the 4-2 Premiership win over Ross County last weekend.

    Luton sign Jacob Brown from Stoke City

    Luton Town have confirmed the signing of Jacob Brown from Stoke City for an undisclosed fee.

    The 25-year-old joined Stoke in 2020 and went on to score 30 goals in 141 appearances for the club across all competitions, including a career-best 13 in 45 Championship outings in 2021-22 as he won the Potters' Player of the Season award.

    Brown netted nine times in 42 games last season, and was on the scoresheet on the opening weekend of the 2023-24 Championship campaign too, scoring a late goal in Stoke's 4-1 win over Rotherham United.

    The Scotland international striker becomes Luton's ninth signing of the summer as they gear up for their first-ever campaign in the Premier League.

    West Ham, Monaco 'emerge as main contenders for Balogun'

    West Ham United have reportedly emerged as the latest club to enter the race for Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun.

    The Hammers are on the hunt for a new centre-forward this summer following the £25m sale of Gianluca Scamacca to Atalanta BC last week.

    Balogun is expected to depart Arsenal this summer as the 22-year-old finds himself behind Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Kai Havertz in the pecking order under manager Mikel Arteta.

    The USA international excelled during a loan spell with Reims last season, scoring 21 goals in 37 Ligue 1 appearances – the joint-fourth most in the French top-flight.

    James Ward-Prowse 'to undergo West Ham medical today'

    James Ward-Prowse will reportedly undergo his West Ham United medical on Thursday ahead of completing a permanent move to the London Stadium from Southampton.

    The Europa Conference League winners are understood to have reached a full agreement with the Saints to sign the 28-year-old midfielder in a deal worth £30m.

    Southampton initially turned down West Ham's £30m bid last month, but they have since accepted their latest offer with more favourable payment terms and conditions.

    According to Sky Sports News, Ward-Prowse has agreed personal terms with West Ham and is scheduled to begin his medical on Thursday.

    Bayern Munich 'agree deal to sign Harry Kane'

    Bayern Munich have finally agreed a fee with Tottenham Hotspur over a deal for England captain Harry Kane, according to a report.

    The Bundesliga champions have been pursuing a move for the 30-year-old throughout the summer window but have been repeatedly rebuffed by Daniel Levy thus far.

    Bayern had already seen two bids rejected before tabling a third offer worth a reported £86m, which was also turned down by Tottenham, but Thomas Tuchel's side refused to throw in the towel.

    According to The Athletic, Bayern have now had a bid accepted by Tottenham, who have given the green light for Kane to join the German giants in a deal worth more than €100m (£86.4m).

    Everton in talks over Hugo Ekitike deal?

    Everton have reportedly contacted Paris Saint-Germain over a potential deal for striker Hugo Ekitike.

    After bursting onto the scene as one of French football's most promising prospects during the 2021-22 season, Ekitike struggled to make an impact in the capital.

    After netting 11 goals in his first full season with Reims, PSG acquired the youngster, but starts were few and far between for the 21-year-old last season.

    Fabrizio Romano claims that Everton are in talks over a loan deal for Ekitike with an obligation to buy next summer for €35m (£30m).

    Chelsea 'keen to seal Caicedo transfer before Sunday'

    Chelsea are reportedly ready to push for the signing of Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo before the end of the week.

    The Blues' chase of the Ecuador international has descended into a drawn-out affair, neither party seemingly being prepared to reach a compromise.

    From the perspective of Brighton, they have refused to budge on their £100m valuation of the 21-year-old, maintaining the same stance that they displayed to Arsenal in January.

    Head coach Roberto De Zerbi is said to have made a pact with Caicedo at that time, promising him a departure in the summer if he focused on helping Brighton achieve European football, which he did.

    West Ham 'ready to request Palmer in Paqueta deal'

    West Ham United may reportedly ask to receive Cole Palmer in part-exchange if Manchester City persist with a move for Lucas Paqueta.

    Throughout the summer transfer window, the Hammers have been attempting to strengthen their midfield after Declan Rice was sold to Arsenal.

    That has allegedly all but been achieved with Ajax's Edson Alvarez and Southampton's James Ward-Prowse said to be on the brink of moving to the London Stadium.

    However, it was claimed earlier this week that City had identified Paqueta as a priority target as Pep Guardiola attempts to sign a creative central midfielder.

    Chelsea 'walk away from Vlahovic, Lukaku swap deal'

    Chelsea have reportedly ended their interest in potentially exchanging Romelu Lukaku with Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic.

    Throughout the summer transfer window, it has been common knowledge that the Premier League outfit have been keen to part ways with Lukaku.

    At one stage, a permanent switch back to Inter Milan appeared to be a foregone conclusion, yet the Champions League runners-up pulled out of negotiations once it allegedly became apparent that the Belgium international had spoken to rivals Juventus around the time of their European showpiece event.

    That made Juventus the favourites to secure a deal for the 30-year-old, providing that they could find a buyer for Vlahovic.

    Transfer rumours: Ward-Prowse to West Ham, Hazard to Vancouver, Akpom to Lens

    West Ham United have reportedly reached an agreement with Southampton over a deal for midfielder James Ward-Prowse, who is seemingly set to move to the London Stadium.

    The Englishman played in his side's Championship opener against Sheffield Wednesday last week, providing the assist for Che Adams to win it for the Saints late on.

    However, it was always going to be tough for Southampton to keep hold of him following their relegation to the Championship at the end of last season.

    According to The Athletic, West Ham have come to an agreement over a deal for the 28-year-old, who is expected to pen a four-year contract with David Moyes's side.
