Turning their attention towards a future star, Manchester United are now reportedly battling to sign a young winger in the summer transfer window who’s already impressed their scouts.

Man Utd transfer news

With cost-cutting measures continuing and Ruben Amorim’s side sitting in the bottom half of the Premier League as the season nears its conclusion, Manchester United were left frustrated once again when Real Sociedad equalised to rescue a draw in their Europa League first leg.

Scoring from the spot through Mikel Oyarzabal thanks to what the referee deemed to be a handball from Bruno Fernandes, the Spaniards will now travel to Old Trafford with it all to play for.

In many ways, a Europa League exit at the last 16 stage would encapsulate Manchester United’s season in its entirety, but Amorim will be desperate to avoid yet more disappointment in the first months of his tenure.

With every game, it’s become clearer and clearer that the Red Devils need affordable reinforcements, which has seemingly seen them turn their attention towards a future star.

Man Utd can ditch Dalot for 18-year-old who's "banging" on Amorim's door

Man Utd could have another Carrington gem on their hands

According to The Boot Room, Manchester United are now battling to sign Roger Fernandes from SC Braga, who value their 19-year-old winger at €40m (£34m) this summer. The rising star has already impressed United’s scouts and could now be on the move.

As ever when it comes to a talent of such calibre though, Manchester United aren’t alone in the race to secure Fernandes’ signature. Reports have also linked Manchester City, Liverpool and Newcastle United with moves to sign the Braga teenager in what could deal those at Old Trafford a frustrating blow.

Set to miss out on Champions League football in a season which has only seen their stock fall even further, convincing Fernandes to ditch the likes of Liverpool in favour of Amorim’s project has become increasingly difficult in the current campaign.

"Specialist" Fernandes is one to watch

Whether there’s doubts over Manchester United’s ability to sign such talents in their current state, the Red Devils are certainly looking in the right direction. Fernandes has been on the rise since 15 years old and hasn’t looked like slowing down ever since.

Now 19 years old, the winger has scored five goals and assisted another five in all competitions for Braga this season. Earning the praise of Ben Mattinson as a result of his recent rise, the analyst described Fernandes as a “1v1 specialist” and dubbed him an “unselfish winger” back in January of last year.

When the summer arrives, it looks as though the teenager is likely to find himself at the centre of a Premier League battle, as the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool all jostle for his signature.

Matthews bowled the final over with Heat needing just six to win and conceded only three runs, to break an eight-game losing streak for Renegades

AAP18-Nov-2023

Melbourne Renegades have broken an eight-game losing streak in a thrilling two-run upset win over Brisbane Heat, with skipper Hayley Matthews proving the hero in the final over.The Heat needed six runs to win at the start of the 20th over bowled by Matthews, but the West Indies star conceded just three runs to keep Nicola Hancock and Courtney Sippel quiet at Brisbane’s Allan Border Field.Earlier, Matthews was due a match-winning score and she delivered with her best and most influential innings of the WBBL season, scoring 46 off 28 balls to help Renegades post 169 for 7.Heat opener Grace Harris kept her side in the hunt in the chase with a powerful 65 from just 36 balls before a late flurry by Jess Jonassen and Hancock put them on the brink of victory at the end of the 19th over.Matthews took the early wicket of Georgia Redmayne and two slick catches before her heroics in the final over to restrict the Heat to 167 for 9.With the bat, Matthews played strokes all around the ground. She was looking ominous in the closing overs until she was bowled by seamer Hancock, who finished with her career-best figures of 4 for 20.Opener Emma de Broughe made a classy 42 at the top of the order and supported Matthews well.The Renegades were 134 for 2 in the 16th over before Hancock and part-timer Harris pegged them back. Harris picked up 2 for 16 with her offspin.The loss could be costly for the Heat who stay in third position on the WBBL table on 14 points, two behind leaders Perth Scorchers.

India batter Prithvi Shaw has secured a deal with Northamptonshire to play the remainder of the County Cricket season in England and also be a part of the Royal London One-Day Cup which starts in August. The 23-year-old is expected to join them at the end of the Duleep Trophy.Shaw is part of a strong West Zone side which is tipped to make it all the way to the final of the Duleep Trophy scheduled between July 12 and 16. He may have fallen down the pecking order for India but remains a prolific run-scorer for his state side, Mumbai, in all formats of the game. Shaw hasn’t played any first-class cricket for six months but he did make a career-best 379 off just 383 balls in a Ranji Trophy game against Assam in January 2023.The ability to score runs quickly is a big reason for Shaw’s rise through the ranks since winning the Under-19 World Cup for India in 2018. He had a stunning introduction to Test cricket, scoring a century on debut, but has since then struggled to deal with the quality of bowling on offer in international red-ball cricket. He played his last game as a first-choice pick for India in 2020 and only managed to get back when they had to send a second-string side to Sri Lanka in 2021.Most recently, Shaw was part of the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023. He went through a six-game stretch where he was unable to score more than 15 runs which led to his being dropped there as well. He did return later in the tournament and immediately struck a half-century.Northamptonshire play in Division One of the English County Championship. They have won just one out of seven games so far and have seven more until the end of the season.This will be Shaw’s first time playing domestic cricket in the UK. He will become the fifth Indian to be part of the 2022-23 season following Cheteshwar Pujara (Sussex), Ajinkya Rahane (Leicestershire), Arshdeep Singh (Kent) and Navdeep Saini (Worcestershire).Shaw is a very attractive package in white-ball cricket, where hitting through the line of the ball is much easier. He is approaching 3000 List A runs at an average of 52.54 and a strike-rate of 123.27 with eight centuries, one of which is a double. Former India opener Gautam Gambhir, in 2022, had even tipped him to lead the country at some point in the future.

da esoccer bet： Manchester United have now struck an agreement to sign a “world-class” striker in the summer, according to a report.

Red Devils keen on a striker

da 888casino： It would be fair to say there are a number of positions Man United will need to strengthen if they are to compete for the biggest honours once again, and Rasmus Hojlund’s performances this season indicate a new striker will be required.

The Dane has just two goals to his name in the Premier League, and the alternative option hasn’t performed much better either, with Joshua Zirkzee finding the back of the net three times in the top flight since joining from Bologna in the summer.

As such, it is little wonder Ruben Amorim is pursuing a new striker, and a number of targets have been identified, with a recent report revealing Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap is of interest, alongside Atalanta marksman Mateo Retegui.

Related Man Utd named frontrunners for £50m star as possible Hojlund replacement

Amorim is starting to lose patience with Hojlund, and the club already have a replacement in mind.

Posts ByBrett Worthington Feb 11, 2025

Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres is a player well-known to Amorim from his time with the Portuguese club, and the striker has become a target for a number of top clubs as a result of his performances in the Liga Portugal.

However, a report from Spain has now claimed Man United have already struck a deal to sign Gyokeres in the summer, having identified the need to improve their goal-scoring output, given their struggles this term.

The Swedish forward has a €100m (£83m) release clause in his contract, but the Portuguese side have shown a willingness to come down to a fee of around €70m (£58m).

The report states United have been the most persistent of any potential suitor, and they now stand in line to reap the rewards in the summer, although it is not clear which fee they have settled on.

Gyokeres could be a "world-class" signing

In truth, the idea that a deal has already been agreed raises skepticism, with no other sources reporting an agreement has been struck for the 26-year-old to move to Old Trafford.

United are almost certain to miss out on Champions League football once again this season, which means the move may not be the most attractive proposition for a striker who appears to be entering his prime.

However, if the Red Devils are able to get a deal done, there are clear signs he would be a real upgrade in attack, having been lauded as “world-class” by members of the media.

The Sporting star has scored 22 goals in 20 Liga Portugal matches this season, while he has also proven himself in the Champions League, scoring six in eight games in Europe’s elite competition.

Hojlund is still only 22-years-old and has plenty of time to improve, but it is clear United need to bring in a ready-made top striker if they are going to get back to where they should be, and Gyokeres could be the perfect addition.

They are not all necessarily new to the tournament, but they’re certainly arriving in new avatars

Saurabh Somani18-Sep-2021It’s IPL time again – for the second time this year. Though the tournament is continuing from where it left off, it’s got a very #NewSeason feel about it. The squads are somewhat different, several star players have withdrawn, new high-profile names have been signed on, and the venues are no longer the same. With new players comes always, the possibility of new chances to make an impact. ESPNcricinfo takes a look at a few who could make the second leg of the IPL one to remember. If they are not all necessarily new to the IPL, they’re certainly arriving in new avatars.Liam Livingstone
During the first half of the IPL, he was a promising, hard-hitting batter who couldn’t get into Rajasthan Royals’ first XI. So much so that he even withdrew before the tournament was called off, bubble life on the bench being tough. Now, Livingstone strides in as a destroyer of bowlers’ hopes, dreams and all kinds of lengths. It’s a transformation – in perception if not in his innate talent – that’s barely two months old, but what a two months it’s been since Livingstone bludgeoned 103 off 43 balls against Pakistan. He’s played 13 T20 matches since (including nine in the Hundred) and is averaging 52.00 while striking at 190.47. Not a single one of those 13 innings has been slower than a run a ball, even on the two occasions he fell before hitting double figures. If the Royals had prayed for some sort of deliverance for losing all of Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes, they seem to have got it in the form of Livingstone.Starting XI chances: Livingstone will be a sure-shot starter for the Royals in each game he’s available. Their other overseas picks are competent too (and some will appear in this very article) – but none of them can provide Livingstone’s firepower. Don’t forget his ability to bowl either legspin or offspin too.Wanindu Hasaranga has been one of the most prolific wristpinners in the world this year•Ishara S.Kodikara/AFP/Getty ImagesWanindu Hasaranga
It was a bit of a surprise when Hasaranga didn’t get any bid in the auctions earlier this year, but with Adam Zampa’s withdrawal, he’s found a place at Royal Challengers Bangalore. The franchise is in the rare position of having signed a potentially better replacement than the player they lost. Hasaranga has been an efficient performer for the past couple of years, and since 2019 – which is also the year he first played T20Is for Sri Lanka – he has picked up 71 wickets in 45 innings in T20 cricket. The average is an outstanding 14.09 and the economy rate of 6.08 pushes his performance into ‘great’ territory. Half of those games have been in domestic cricket, but Hasaranga hasn’t suffered when making the grade up to international cricket, as his numbers show.A control of flight and length, a well-disguised googly, and bowling smarts have made him one of the game’s premier limited-overs leggspinners. In addition, he swings a decent bat lower down the order, good enough to average 17.90 at a strike rate of 131.62 in T20 cricket. The batting hasn’t quite translated into similar form at the international level, but Sri Lanka have also played on pitches where batting has not always been a breeze.Starting XI chances: Hasaranga should be in the Royal Challengers’ first XI plans most of the time, alongside AB de Villiers, Glenn Maxwell, and Kyle Jamieson. During the India leg of the IPL, they had opted to go with Daniel Christian, but Hasaranga offers a much more potent threat with the ball, and the pitches in UAE should offer him something to work with.Adam Milne was the most economical bowler in The Hundred, in addition to being among its top wicket-takers•Getty ImagesAdam Milne
What is most surprising about Adam Milne this season is not that he’s among those to watch out for, but that he’s slated to be part of a squad playing in the UAE only until the end of the IPL. He’s only a travelling reserve for New Zealand for the T20 World Cup, but given his recent form in the shortest format, he might have been reasonably expected to be a part of the team’s first-choice XI. Milne has bowled more balls in T20 cricket in 2021 than he has in any other year, an encouraging sign for a pacer who has had to battle several injury problems. In The Hundred, he was devastating. He was not only one of the joint top-four top wicket takers, but also had the best economy rate of all bowlers, a truly great double whammy rendered more enticing for those who watched him regularly crank it up over 90mph.Starting XI chances: His form in The Hundred should get Milne a very good chance to make Mumbai Indians’ first XI. He’s not an IPL newcomer, having played five matches for RCB in 2016-17 and he played one match for Mumbai Indians in the first leg, but he’s rarely had the sort of sustained rhythm he found while bowling in the Hundred. The pace has always been high, but now that it’s better directed, Milne automatically becomes a threat on any surface. He’ll be targeting the fourth overseas spot for Mumbai Indians with three taken up by Quinton de Kock, Kieron Pollard and Trent Boult. The times he might miss out are if Mumbai Indians decide they need more batting depth and turn to the likes of Jimmy Neesham, Nathan Coulter-Nile or Marco Jansen.Evin Lewis is likely to pip David Miller and Glenn Phillips to one of the overseas slots•Randy Brooks – CPL T20 / GettyEvin Lewis
Of all the names in the list, Lewis is the one whose sparkle has been the most recent. He has just completed a triumphant run with the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in CPL 2021, emerging as the best batsman in the tournament by some way. That included a tournament-high 38 sixes, beating a record held by none other than Chris Gayle. Lewis, too, is not an IPL newcomer, having played 16 games for the Mumbai Indians, mainly in 2018 with three coming in 2019. He didn’t do too shabbily back in 2018, but wasn’t outstanding to the level he is at now. In 2019, he hardly made a mark. What the Rajasthan Royals will be banking on, though, is neither the 2018 nor the 2019 versions of Lewis, but the one who has lit up 2021. He’s been scoring at a strike rate of above 160 for West Indies as well as the Patriots, and if the Royals needed an opener to match the aggression that they’ve lost in Buttler’s absence, Lewis is one of the foremost candidates.Starting XI chances: The first two names among the overseas slots in the Royals’ XI are likely to be Chris Morris and Livingstone. Among batters, Lewis will have to compete for a spot with David Miller and Glenn Phillips. That Phillips can keep won’t matter in this case since captain Sanju Samson can take the gloves, so it’ll come down to batting positions and roles. As an opener who bats left-handed, and is in prime form coming into the tournament, Lewis ticks three boxes, which gives him a head start over the others.Tim David is middle-order player who can not only hit big but also stay long.•Randy Brooks – CPL T20 / GettyTim David
Another Royal Challengers Bangalore replacement who might just be a better fit than the original in Finn Allen. While David may not be picked ahead of de Villiers or Maxwell, he’s a handy back-up should the need arise, being a middle-order batter unlike Allen, who’s an opener. David has already had success this year in the BBL and the PSL, and made 15 off six in the only match he got to bat in the Hundred – the final. He took that one step further in the CPL, coming in to bat in the lower middle order and regularly churning out quickfire runs without falling early. That he ended up as the third highest run-getter in CPL 2021 despite batting mainly at No. 6 spoke of how well he had fitted into a difficult role: that of a middle-order player who can not only hit big but also stay long.Starting XI chances: He’s a dark horse at best to start, since two overseas middle-order batters are already inked in, in de Villiers and Maxwell. Royal Challengers are likely to have Jamieson and Hasaranga in the other two slots to give them a nice balance, but should they want to strengthen the batting, David could come in for one of the two bowling allrounders.Tabraiz Shamsi has previously played for the Royal Challengers•BCCITabraiz Shamsi
The world’s No.1-ranked T20 bowler had an IPL stint way back in 2016. Shamsi was not the bowler he is now, having acquired a much greater mastery of his craft since. The ICC rankings are not always a true reflection of a player’s standing – most particularly in T20Is – but even ignoring the rankings, you can’t ignore Shamsi’s results. He has done a lot of T20-hopping this year, playing for South Africa and franchises in the Caribbean, Ireland, the Hundred and then Sri Lanka. Through it all, he’s remained difficult to read or score off. Accurate wristspin is always an asset in T20’s middle overs, and Shamsi this year has taken 41 wickets in 28 matches while going at just 6.60 per over. The 607 balls he’s bowled are also the most for him in a year, so he’s coming into the tournament with form sustained over a good workload and a variety of conditions and oppositions.Starting XI chances: While Shamsi undoubtedly offers something more than any of the domestic spinners the Royals have, whether he makes it to the XI or not will largely depend on the balance the side needs. The Royals’ batting is thin, so while they are likely to have Livingstone and one of Lewis or Miller in there, they might be tempted to go for three overseas batters. With Morris a lock-in for one of the overseas slots, that leaves no room for Shamsi or any other overseas player.

This was an important day for India even though it won’t have much say on this Test

Maninder Singh: Ishant Sharma seemed to be lacking in confidence

This day of cricket was supposed to be a rude reality check for the utterly pampered and spoiled followers of Indian cricket who started post 2015. They had been bowled out for 78, the pitch had flattened out, the opposition had got off to a start and there was a long day staring them in the face. They knew they couldn’t bowl as full as England did because any assistance from the pitch had vanished. They knew the batters were under no scoreboard pressure.This was the kind of day that had become commonplace watching India’s rag-tag bowling attack in 2011 and 2011-12. It was as though India were providing writing and meme material to Sacred Games: “utho, nahao, pito, so jao (wake up, take a bath, get hit, go back to sleep).” Such a day was feared in Australia earlier this year when almost all of India’s first-choice bowling unit was out with injury. It didn’t materialise.For patches on day two, especially when Ishant Sharma was having his rare bad Test, it seemed finally the sufferers of 2011 and 2011-12 might be able to tell younger followers, this is what it feels like. And still, India came out with 303 for 8, which, in isolation, is not a bad effort at all in the best batting conditions of the series and in a match situation where there is no pressure on the batters. Five wickets in the final session is something they can even be proud of.Related

These days are a lose-lose day. If you bowl a side out on such a day, it is probably worse news for your team because that means batting in the second innings is not going to be easy. So all you hope for is to stick to restrictive plans and slowly work towards the odd wicket.Only problem is, Ishant was truly off colour. Ishant was having perhaps his first ordinary Test in seven years. He was cut away for three boundaries in his first four overs. The last time he conceded more than three boundaries in a whole Test – to the cut shot – was in December 2017*. It doesn’t need GPS trackers to know he was slower in his run-up than he probably has ever been. The speeds were down too. He bowled 22 overs without a maiden, the longest an opening bowler has gone without one in England since 2002.All bar four of Ishant’s dearer spells than this came before 2015. That he has had to be so drastically off rhythm to be reminded of those bad old days is testament to his turnaround. Those bad old days were when often he would be the only bowler fit enough to toil for long spells. Here he had Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah to pick up the slack. In an innings that Ishant and Mohammed Siraj drew a mistake once every 10 balls or slower, Bumrah and Shami kept doing so once an over.Mohammed Shami celebrates a wicket with team-mates•Getty ImagesShami of late has become a bowler whom you can wake up in the middle of the night and he will run up and start bowling with an upright seam on the shorter part of the good-length band. If Shami doesn’t draw any movement from a pitch, you can call an excavation party, you won’t find it. The only drawback with Shami on days like this one is that he is an aggressive bowler and keeps attacking the stumps. Over time, though, he has eliminated some of the deliveries that used to end up on leg.The Rory Burns wicket he took was a perfect illustration: hitting top of off after seaming the ball in. Jonny Bairstow went fishing outside off, and Jos Buttler fell to the leg trap. If Shami brought the run rate down through wickets, Bumrah was more methodical. He just bowled lengths that were hard to hit, resulting in 10 maidens out of 27 and an economy rate of 2.14 in an innings that went at 3.27 an over.Joe Root has been batting like a dream, averaging 126.75 in the series, but Bumrah has dismissed him three times for an average of 33. All three have been great deliveries, making him play without being full, moving the ball each way. Twice coming into this Test, it had been outside edges; at Leeds he managed to go past the inside edge from a similar pitching point.This was an important day for India even though it won’t have much say on this Test. Any salvaging process will have to start with the bat. But this is the start of three back-to-back Tests, and India would have hated to be kept in the field for two days. It is hard to make a comeback in a series after successive bad days in the field; imagine if England had made it three in a row.Shami said it was a day when it is the bowler’s responsibility to not let their heads go down, but to keep finding a way to make it difficult for the batters. While Ishant’s fitness and form will be a matter of concern, the two big fast bowlers managed to achieve that fairly well given the conditions and match situation. In the process they avoided an encore of the bad old days.

The harsh winter months have proven to be Manchester United’s recent undoing in the Premier League.

Since the 1st of November hit, the Red Devils have reverted back to their inconsistent selves under Ruben Amorim, with three wins on the trot in October then followed up by two unwanted draws on the spin, before a ten-man Everton got the better of Amorim and Co on their own patch 1-0.

They did respond to that home humiliation at the hands of the Toffees with a much-needed 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, but an unsatisfactory 1-1 draw last time out against West Ham United only saw the misery pile up once more.

How will the up-and-down outfit fare across their remaining five fixtures to come across a jam-packed December? Only time will tell.

Whatever does take place, United will be able to take some solace in the January transfer window reopening, as several bumper deals are alleged to be in the works…

Man United's list of transfer targets

Indeed, it does appear as if the red half of Manchester will be very busy during January, as Amorim’s men hunt down some improvements all across the pitch.

A clear priority, when looking at the rampant rumours coming to the surface, is United’s desire for a new central midfield talent, with both Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson incessantly linked to the Theatre of Dreams.

Away from bolstering their personnel in the middle of the park, United also look to be on the prowl for some fresh winger additions, with a spectacular swap deal perhaps in the offing.

As per Football Insider, Paris Saint-Germain are keen on picking up Marcus Rashford in the summer as his Old Trafford future hangs in the balance. To smooth out a potential deal, the French giants could offer Bradley Barcola to the Red Devils who has shone in spurts at the Parc des Princes as a promising attacking talent.

The faltering Premier League side could have to wait it out until the summer for this swap deal to come into play, but it might well be a deal still worth persisting with, as Amorim potentially wins himself his next Amad Diallo in the blistering Frenchman.

How Barcola can be Amorim's next Amad

Amad hasn’t always found his stay at Old Trafford to be smooth sailing.

Under Erik ten Hag, the tricky Ivorian only managed to muster up a paltry three goals and two assists from a limited 24 appearances.

Transition to the here and now, however, and the 23-year-old is very much a consistent first-team presence under his hot-and-cold Portuguese manager, with an impressive haul of nine goals and 11 assists next to his name under Amorim’s reign, seeing him be described as an “explosive” threat by analyst Statman Dave.

Barcola would aim to reach these same heights under Amorim’s guidance if he were to swap Paris for Manchester shortly, having also been noted as being an eye-catching winger at the peak of his powers, with “devastating pace” to burn, as per U23 scout Antonio Mango.

Thankfully, the 18-time France international also has some lethal end product to back up all his entertaining tricks and flicks, much like Amad, with Barcola up to 31 goals and 33 assists in total now for his current employers.

Last season saw the 23-year-old put away a stunning 40-goal contributions in all competitions, with United praying that Barcola’s possible entry on the scene can take them to that next level, away from folding at the hands of Everton, as the left winger’s stunning exploits have even seen Luis Enrique’s men lift the Champions League trophy.

Off the back of helping his team clinch this unbelievable honour in Europe’s elite competition, Barcola had certainly lived up to his hype as “one of the best left wingers in Europe” which was handed to him by Como scout Ben Mattinson. The Premier League would be the next big test, though, for the slick number 29.

Looking at what Amad has managed to achieve under Amorim on the flanks, Barcola should be able to enter into a new daunting division and succeed.

It certainly won’t be a cheap deal to pull off, with a whopping £87m price tag previously touted, when Barcola was on Arsenal’s reported shopping list.

But if United want to make their attack even more of a mouth-watering prospect – away from already possessing Amad and the likes of Bryan Mbeumo – sealing a statement move for Barcola could be a phenomenal next step.

da pinup bet： Liverpool have been the team to watch in the transfer window so far and could now look to strike for a star who has previously been labelled “fantastic” by Jordan Henderson, according to reports.

Liverpool march on in the transfer window

da aviator aposta： Exciting times are on the horizon at Anfield and Jeremie Frimpong is set to be joined by Milos Kerkez at Liverpool as the latter edges closer to signing on the dotted line for a move to Merseyside, as per David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano.

Florian Wirtz is also signing for Liverpool for a record fee, creating a triple-axis of exciting transfers that have placed Arne Slot and his side in a great position to retain their Premier League title.

Incredibly, The Reds are said to be plotting a blockbuster bid for Newcastle star Alexander Isak in a deal that could be worth £100 million and add-ons, exceeding any fee paid for Wirtz.

Nevertheless, that is likely to be contingent on whether Darwin Nunez leaves the club, albeit there is plenty to marvel about regarding Liverpool’s commitment to conducting smart business.

There is plenty of speculation surrounding the reigning champions, and nobody is expecting that to slow down anytime soon. The dust has now settled on their title victory, and hard work is well underway ahead of another campaign fraught with excitement.

Now, there is another name on their radar that could stir up headlines across Europe if Liverpool are able to push a deal over the line.

Liverpool hold talks over move for Jorrel Hato

According to journalist Duncan Castles on the Transfers Podcast, Liverpool are in talks to sign Ajax defender Jorrel Hato and could face competition from Arsenal and Chelsea for the versatile Netherlands international.

He stated: “There have been direct conversations between Liverpool and Hato over joining the Premier League champions this summer, and those talks are taking place with the knowledge of Ajax, who are open to selling the player.”

Later, he added: “Now we have a situation where Liverpool are looking at the player, with Arsenal and Chelsea also seriously interested in him.”

Labelled “fantastic” by former teammate Jordan Henderson, Hato registered three goals and six assists across 50 appearances in all competitions last campaign, and can play left-back or centre-back.

Intriguingly, this news comes as Atletico Madrid begin to step up their interest in Liverpool’s Andy Robertson, potentially offering a clue into who his replacement will be alongside Kerkez.

As talks continue, Reds supporters will hope they come to a satisfactory conclusion as the club look to stock up with elite arrivals ahead of the new campaign.

With rumours continuing to arrive regarding Jobe Bellingham’s future, Sunderland have reportedly set their sights on signing a Manchester City gem who could replace their midfield star this summer.

Despite earning promotion to the Premier League, it looks as though Bellingham is set to follow the same path as his older brother Jude by swapping English football for Borussia Dortmund this summer.

Chasing their second Bellingham after their first proved to be a great success, the German giants have reportedly agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with the Sunderland star.

Whilst personal terms are agreed, Dortmund must still match Sunderland’s valuation if they are to sign Bellingham this summer. The Black Cats are reportedly set to demand that Bellingham’s €40m (£34m) release clause is matched this summer if they are to bid farewell to one of their best young players.

Losing such a talent at just 19 years old would be an undeniable blow for all involved at the Stadium of Light, but with £34m to spend, they could build Regis Le Bris a squad capable of securing Premier League survival at the first time of asking.

To that end, rumours have suggested that the Black Cats could also be in for a busy summer. With a permanent deal to sign Enzo Le Fee already sealed, Sunderland may reportedly welcome Chris Mepham back to the club in a similar deal.

Meanwhile, if forced to find a replacement for Bellingham in the coming months, those in Wearside could yet reportedly turn towards a young Manchester City talent.

Sunderland eyeing Charlie Gray

According to Alan Nixon on his Patreon, Sunderland are now eyeing a summer swoop to sign Charlie Gray from Manchester City if Bellingham completes a move to Borussia Dortmund.

The 19-year-old midfielder is yet to receive a first-team opportunity from Pep Guardiola, but has certainly left many impressed at youth level.

Although the Manchester City gem is an unproven talent, this Sunderland side has had young players who are vying to prove themselves at the foundation of their success for a couple of years now and Gray could become the latest to do exactly that.

Replacing Bellingham won’t be easy for whoever is tasked with doing so, but there’s every reason why Gray has been at the heart of Manchester City’s impressive academy in recent years.

The Citizens have birthed players such as Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Jamie Gittens and Jadon Sancho over the last decade and the list could go on.

European football is littered with their graduates and one could now be on his way to Sunderland. At 19 years old, Gray could be one to watch.
