Henderson becomes free agent
Jordan Henderson will be available as a free agent this summer after opting against taking up his option for a one-year extension at Ajax.
Henderson has been linked with a return to boyhood club Sunderland following their promotion to the Premier League.
However, there have been reports suggesting the Black Cats are not keen on the Liverpool hero.
The midfielder is thought to be open to a new chapter, while he will be keeping one eye on making England's World Cup squad next summer.
Surprise Gyokeres transfer competition
Arsenal could face competition for Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres from a surprise suitor during the summer transfer window.
According to Record, Fenerbahce could sweep in for Gyokeres, who is also linked with Manchester United, if the Gunners fail to land him.
Fener will have the benefit of an extended transfer window compared to many other European leagues.
The Turkish giants could pull the same manoeuvre rivals Galatasaray did a year ago with Napoli star Victor Osimhen, who found a way out late in the 2024 transfer market.
Man Utd name Onana price
Manchester United are ready to cut their losses on Andre Onana just two years after signing him.
Onana signed from Inter Milan for around £47million in 2023 to replace David De Gea.
Now, with Ineos looking to reshape their squad this summer, United are open to offers and could accept a figure as low as £30m.
The Mail report that was the price quoted to Monaco when the French side enquired about signing the goalkeeper.
That would represent a hefty financial hit for the Red Devils.
Despite the significant drop in his valuation compared to 24 months ago, the report adds that the Ligue 1 outfit still consider it too much.
Saudi side SC Neom have also been linked with a move for the Cameroon international.
Brighton selling Ferguson
Roma are keeping tabs on Brighton star Evan Ferguson during the summer transfer window.
The Giallorossi are interested in a loan with an obligation to buy Ferguson.
However, there is no agreement between the Serie A giants and the Seagulls at this stage.
Brighton would prefer a loan that would help the striker recapture his confidence and form to boost his value.
According to Sky Sports, however, the Premier League side would be open to a permanent move if the right offer was received.
Cresswell joins Stoke
Aaron Cresswell has signed for Stoke as a free agent.
Cresswell put pen to paper on a one-year contract with the Potters.
This comes after the left-back left West Ham on June 30 when his contract ran out.
That put an end to an 11-year stint for the 35-year-old with the Hammers.
West Ham on Kudus
West Ham released the following statement after Mohammed Kudus' move to Tottenham.
West Ham United can confirm that Mohammed Kudus has completed a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old Ghana international departs having made 80 appearances and scored 19 goals during a two-year spell with the Hammers.
West Ham United would like to thank Mohammed for his service and wish him well for the future.
West Ham
Tottenham announce Kudus
Tottenham have officially announced the signing of Mohammed Kudus.
Kudus joins Spurs from West Ham following a £55million deal between the two Premier League clubs.
The North Londoners will pay the fee across the next three years.
The winger has put pen to paper on a six-year deal with Tottenham.
Forest make Wissa bid
Nottingham Forest have launched a bid for Brentford star Yoane Wissa.
Forest have held a long-term interest in Wissa and have previously made another offer.
However, the Tricky Trees' exact offer is not yet known.
The Bees, though, are not highly likely to sell both Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo, who has been linked with Manchester United.
Juventus ofer Vlahovic contract termination
Manchester United could be handed a golden opportunity to land Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic for free.
SunSport understand Vlahovic is high on United's list of targets and they could even get him for free, with Juve reportedly willing to rip up his contract.
According to transfer insider Gianluca Di Marzio, the Bianconeri are looking to cut the striker's £20million-a-year wages.
And the Italian giants may even be up for cancelling his contract altogether.
Meetings are scheduled to take place next week with several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal.
Rodrygo transfer boost
Arsenal have received a major boost in their bid to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo.
According to Marca, Real are “looking for a new destination” for the versatile forward.
The same source claims it is becoming more likely that the Brazil international will be leaving Madrid this summer.
And the Gunners continue to monitor the 24-year-old this summer.
Jadon Sancho leaving
Jadon Sancho is set to be the first Manchester United outcast to finally leave the club this summer.
Sancho could be swiftly followed out of the exit door by Antony, who is wanted back by Real Betis.
Juventus are pushing to agree a deal for the England international, who has not played a competitive United game since he fell out with ex-manager Erik ten Hag two years ago.
The 25-year-old is believed to be keen on a move to Italy, despite interest from Turkey.
The winger spent last term on loan at Chelsea, but they decided not to trigger the £25million option to buy him.
United still want a similar figure from whoever buys Sancho, while his salary demands of £7m a year could also be a sticking point.
More on Adingra
Manchester United star Amad Diallo, who previously spent a season on loan at Sunderland, helped persuade Simon Adingra to move to the Stadium of Light.
I know him very well from the national team [Ivory Coast]. I spoke to him and he spoke very well about this club. He told me how big this club is.
It’s a pleasure to be here, and I cannot wait to get started. The club and the project are really exciting.
I spoke with everyone and their interest in me made the decision easy - I wanted to be part of Sunderland’s future.
Playing in the Premier League has been a dream of mine since I was a kid, so to continue doing that is incredible.
It’s a big challenge ahead – we’ll be facing top players and strong opponents - but I’m ready for it.
Simon Adingra
Morgan Gibbs-White latest
Tottenham are set to complete a stunning move for England star Morgan Gibbs-White.
The North Londoners triggered the £60million release clause in his Nottingham Forest contract.
Gibbs-White, 25, is now expected to have medical at Spurs over the next 24 hours.
It follows up the £55m the club are spending on bringing in winger Mohammed Kudus from West Ham.
Thomas Frank, who succeeded the man who delivered that title, Ange Postecoglou, had been keen on a new No10, on top of a fresh wideman who will be Kudus.
Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze is admired but is believed to favour a move to rivals Arsenal, so Spurs have switched their attention to Gibbs-White.
Henderson not following Adingra at Sunderland
Simon Adingra claims it was an “easy decision” to join Sunderland - but Jordan Henderson WON'T be joining him.
The 23-year-old winger, capped 22 times by Ivory Coast, penned a five-year contract after completing a £20.5million transfer move from Brighton.
Adingra, who appeared 29 times in the Premier League last term for the Seagulls, became the sixth new arrival at the promoted Black Cats.
However, Henderson looks unlikely to secure a dream return to his hometown club and join the influx of new signings at the Stadium of Light.
The 35-year-old former Liverpool captain, who left Sunderland for Anfield in 2011, is a free agent after opting against extending his contract with Ajax for another year.
Despite speculation from abroad, SunSport understands that Sunderland are not currently interested in the veteran England international.
Henderson is believed to be considering offers from both the Prem and the continent and is looking for regular action in order to secure his place in Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the World Cup next summer.
Tottenham close to signing MGW
Tottenham are on the brink of landing England midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White after triggering his £60m release clause.
New Tottenham boss Thomas Frank is understood to have sold his vision to Gibbs-White, 25, in the past few days.
And the stunning swoop for the Three Lions star has left Nottingham Forest powerless to resist the move for one of their star assets.
It is another statement of intent by Tottenham and Frank, following on from the £55m move for West Ham’s Ghanaian powerhouse Mohammed Kudus and the bid for Brentford goal poacher Yoanne Wissa.
The new Spurs chief sees Gibbs-White, who had two years left on his City Ground contract, as a key part of his new-look side.
Gibbs-White, who scored seven Prem goals and added eight assists for Forest last term, is understood to believe that Champions League football with Tottenham will help secure his place in England’s squad for next summer’s World Cup.
The four-cap midfielder needs to convince Thomas Tuchel that he deserves a place among England’s star-studded midfield options.
That will be easier if he can shine against the international elite, with a potential Spurs debut against European champions Paris Saint-Germain in next month’s Uefa Super Cup Final in Udine.
Bournemouth monitoring Chelsea ace
Bournemouth are keeping tabs on Chelsea ace Djordje Petrovic.
According to Sky Sports, the Blues and the Cherries remain in talks over a deal for Petrovic.
The conversations centre around the structure of Bournemouth’s offer for the goalkeeper.
The West Londoners want more guaranteed payments, as opposed to add-ons and bonuses.
Chelsea want at least £25million for the 25-year-old this summer.
Petrovic, who spent last season on loan at Strasbourg, is said to be keen on a move to the Vitality Stadium.
Tottenham eye MGW
Tottenham have turned their attention to Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White.
According to transfer insider David Ornstein, new Spurs boss Thomas Frank is a "long-term admirer" of Gibbs-White.
The North Londoners will try to convince the playmaker to join if a deal is reached with Forest.
And the England international is likely to leave the City Ground this summer.
Viktor Gyokeres blow
Arsenal have received a major transfer blow in their bid to sign priority target Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.
Reports from Portugal state the Gunners’ deal for Gyokeres is on the verge of COLLAPSING.
Sporting are reportedly not budging on their demands for the striker.
And it could see the North Londoners miss out on the Sweden international.
Villarreal target Disasi
Villarreal are keeping tabs on Chelsea ace Axel Disasi during the summer transfer window.
According to RMC Sport, the Yellow Submarine have already made an enquiry.
Newcastle and a number of Serie A clubs are also eyeing the centre-back.
But the Blues won't let the France international leave for less than £25.9million.
Kudus' Tottenham medical
Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign West Ham star Mohammed Kudus.
Spurs and the Hammers have reached an agreement worth £55million for Kudus, which will be paid across the next three years.
A medical is scheduled to take place today ahead of the playmaker signing a six-year contract with the North Londoners.
Documents have been exchanged and the the Ghana international is set to become a Tottenham player.
Benfica prepare Felix bid
Benfica are set to bid £17million for Chelsea flop Joao Felix.
But that’s only for HALF his rights.
Felix wants to leave Stamford Bridge and is ready to take a pay cut to rejoin Benfica.
As shared ownership is not allowed in the Premier League, it means Chelsea would be entitled to a 50 per cent sell-on fee should Felix move on from Benfica in the future.
Everton make McGinn move
Everton have reportedly made a move for John McGinn.
But their approach has been rejected by Aston Villa.
Football Insider claims Unai Emery has no intention of losing the Scot.
Yet Everton remain keen and are ready to pay £30million.
Atletico line up Forest star
Atletico Madrid are reportedly plotting a bid for Nottingham Forest defender Murillo.
The Brazilian has emerged as an alternative to Tottenham’s Cristian Romero.
But Forest do not want to sell their star centre-back.
And they will demand £47million to let Murillo leave this summer.
