Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to launch a formal proposal to sign Manchester City winger Savinho, according to Football Insider. The 22-year-old Brazilian struggled for consistent game time at the Etihad Stadium last season, managing just six goal contributions across 14 starts in all competitions. His lack of regular minutes ultimately cost him a place in Brazil’s World Cup squad, a significant blow for a player of his undoubted potential. Tottenham first registered a firm interest in signing Savinho last summer, but Pep Guardiola refused to sanction his departure at that time. The situation has shifted considerably since then, with Savinho…
Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are all battling to sign Athletic Club forward Nico Williams this summer, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes. The 23-year-old left-winger is valued at around £34m by Transfermarkt and is considered one of the most exciting attacking talents in European football right now. Williams signed a long-term contract at San Mamés until 2035 last summer, but despite that commitment, he is now reportedly ready to leave the club this transfer window. The Premier League is understood to be his preferred destination, making the three-way battle between England’s top clubs an increasingly realistic prospect. Manchester United are…
Liverpool’s summer recruitment drive is gathering pace as new manager Andoni Iraola targets a high-profile attacking addition to reshape the squad. Iraola takes charge at Anfield for the 2026/27 campaign after Arne Slot paid the price for a disappointing fifth-place Premier League finish last season. Slot’s inability to get the best from Liverpool’s £450m worth of summer additions ultimately cost him his job on Merseyside. The 43-year-old Iraola arrives with an energetic, heavy-metal attacking philosophy that supporters hope will breathe new life into a side that struggled for cutting edge. Mohamed Salah’s departure from Liverpool this summer has only amplified…
Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba remains a firm target for Manchester United this summer, according to a report from The Sun. United head coach Michael Carrick has made revamping the engine room a priority as the club looks to strengthen its squad heading into the new season. Baleba, 22, originally joined Brighton from LOSC Lille in 2023 as a direct replacement for Moisés Caicedo after the Ecuadorian departed for a big fee. The Cameroonian took time to adjust to Premier League football initially but showed considerable promise during the 2024/25 campaign, registering six goal contributions across 40 appearances…
Manchester United have opened formal negotiations with West Ham United over a summer transfer deal for Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes, according to Fabrizio Romano. Romano confirms that United have started official negotiations with the representative of the 21-year-old, signalling serious intent from the Old Trafford club. Talks have also been opened directly with West Ham, as United look to bolster their defensive midfield options ahead of the new Premier League season.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly at the front of the queue to sign Club Brugge defender Joel Ordóñez, beating out Premier League rivals Chelsea and Liverpool. The 22-year-old has thrived since joining Club Brugge from Independiente del Valle in 2023, winning a Belgian Pro League title and a couple of domestic cup competitions. Ordóñez delivered an impressive campaign last season, scoring four goals and keeping five clean sheets across 43 appearances in all competitions.
