Everton manager David Moyes is reportedly targeting Strasbourg defender Guela Doue as his preferred option to address a pressing right-back issue at the club. Sky Sports report that Moyes is keen on bringing in defensive reinforcements before the transfer window closes, with Doue emerging as his top choice. The 23-year-old has established himself as an undisputed starter at Stade de la Meinau since joining from Stade Rennais a couple of years ago.

Nottingham Forest have submitted an enquiry to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap as they push to bring in a new forward before the September 1st deadline. Forest have made the £40m-rated Delap a serious target, with senior club officials reaching out to Chelsea over the course of the last week to explore the conditions of a potential move. The Tricky Trees remain firmly in pursuit of Brentford striker Igor Thiago, having already submitted a £70m offer for the Brazilian forward this summer. Thiago was nothing short of extraordinary last season, scoring 22 Premier League goals for Brentford, the second-highest tally…
Penalty kicks look simple on paper — one shooter, one goalkeeper, twelve yards — but converting them consistently over an entire career is one of football’s most demanding tests of composure. So who actually holds the best penalty conversion rate in the sport’s history? The answer depends on how you measure it, but a handful of names dominate every serious ranking. At the very top of most all-time lists sits former Southampton midfielder Matt Le Tissier. Across his career, Le Tissier converted 47 of his 48 career penalties, a success rate of roughly 97.9%. His only miss came in 1993…
West Bromwich Albion produced an impressive second-half turnaround to defeat promotion favourites Burnley 3-1 in the Championship at the Hawthorns. Isaac Price was the standout performer, scoring twice after the break while also providing the assist for Harry Whitwell’s equaliser earlier in the contest. Burnley arrived without injured star striker Zian Flemming, who is the subject of intense transfer speculation, and the absence proved telling as the match wore on. Callum Styles’s early own goal put the visitors in front, with the defender diverting Jacob Bruun Larsen’s cross into his own net in the eighth minute. Albion had complained that…
Manchester United are stepping up their efforts to sign Club Brugge left-back Joaquin Seys this summer, according to reports from the Mirror. The Red Devils have identified strengthening their defensive options as a priority heading into the new campaign under manager Michael Carrick. United initially targeted Newcastle United youngster Lewis Hall as their first-choice option to bolster the left-back position this transfer window. However, the club has been unable to persuade Newcastle to sanction a sale, forcing them to turn their attention toward alternative targets on the continent. Seys, 21, enjoyed an exceptional 2025-26 season with Club Brugge, featuring in…
Arsenal’s summer has been anything but straightforward, even for the reigning Premier League champions, as the post-World Cup market continues to move slowly. Director Andrea Berta targeted Vinicius Junior in what would have been the most expensive deal in Premier League history, but that move ultimately fell through. The significant budget earmarked for that transfer has not disappeared, and Arsenal are now refocusing their resources on alternative targets to strengthen Mikel Arteta’s squad. At the back, Arsenal’s defensive unit remains the envy of the Premier League, built on the foundations that delivered last season’s title triumph. William Saliba and Gabriel…
Liverpool are reportedly closing in on a move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye, with the Reds growing increasingly optimistic about striking a deal. The 18-year-old has emerged as a primary target for Liverpool this summer, with the club making direct contact with his agent Jorge Mendes over a potential move to Anfield. Mbaye is considered one of the brightest young talents in French football, having risen through PSG’s academy before forcing his way into senior contention. He made history at PSG by becoming the club’s youngest ever starter, featuring in a 4-1 win over Le Havre on August 16,…
Liverpool are plotting an audacious late-window spending spree that could exceed £200 million as Andoni Iraola looks to reshape his squad ahead of their Premier League opener against Newcastle United. The Reds travel to St James’ Park this weekend to kick off their campaign, with Iraola eager to strengthen his options despite the uncertainty that comes with an open transfer window. “I feel excited.
