Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are reportedly preparing to open negotiations to sign Galatasaray forward Baris Alper Yilmaz, according to Turkish outlet Turkiye Gazeti. The 26-year-old has developed into one of Galatasaray’s most important attacking players since joining the club back in 2021. Yilmaz took some time to find his feet at Rams Park Stadyumu but has since grown into a consistent and productive starter for the Turkish giants. During the 2024/25 campaign, he registered 19 goal contributions across 44 appearances in all competitions, demonstrating his growing influence at the club. Last season proved even more productive for the Turkish forward,…

Everton have submitted a formal £29m offer to sign Turkey international left winger Baris Alper Yilmaz from Galatasaray this summer, according to Turkish outlet Per Haber Turk. The 26-year-old has been on Everton’s radar for some time, with reports via Football Talk previously revealing that the Toffees were plotting a move for the winger. Yilmaz joined Galatasaray from Ankara Keçiörengücü in 2021 and has since developed into one of the club’s most influential and consistent attacking players. Over five years at Rams Park, he has firmly established himself as a key figure not just for Galatasaray but across the Turkish…
Everton are pushing to add more attacking threat to David Moyes’ squad after a summer that has focused primarily on strengthening the midfield. Christian Norgaard, Hayden Hackney and Merlin Rohl have brought steel and control to the engine room, while Tyrique George has joined as another option in attack. Despite those additions, goalscoring remains a pressing concern, with Everton managing just 47 Premier League goals last season among the lowest tallies of any surviving club. The Toffees also created only 53 big chances throughout the campaign, placing them among the division’s least threatening sides in the final third. Jack Grealish…
Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a move for Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson as an alternative to primary target Lewis Hall, according to talkSPORT. The Red Devils have made strengthening their left-back position a priority this summer after identifying a significant lack of depth in the role. Luke Shaw has long been the first-choice option at left-back, but persistent fitness problems have undermined his reliability at Old Trafford over recent seasons. Patrick Dorgu was brought in to provide cover, but the young forward has been far more effective when deployed as a winger rather than a full-back. United have identified Newcastle’s…
Tottenham Hotspur are in advanced discussions to sign Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Romano reported on X that Spurs made their first approach over a potential deal last month, with Liverpool initially reluctant to sanction a sale. The 27-year-old Netherlands international joined Liverpool from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 after catching the eye with his performances in the Eredivisie. Gakpo has enjoyed considerable success at Anfield, contributing to Premier League title and Carabao Cup victories during his time at the club. Last season proved to be a mixed campaign for the forward, who managed nine…
Cristian Romero looked set to anchor Tottenham’s defence for years after signing a contract extension last August, but a summer exit now appears inevitable. The Argentina international had been named captain by Thomas Frank following a key role in Spurs’ Europa League triumph, with his deal running until 2029. Less than twelve months on, the situation has shifted dramatically after a turbulent domestic season left the club in a very different position. Spurs endured a disappointing campaign, Frank lost his job, and Roberto De Zerbi eventually steered the club away from relegation danger. Romero also publicly criticised the club’s hierarchy,…
Manchester United and Liverpool are both reportedly eyeing a move for Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade, according to Caught Offside. The 24-year-old German joined Stuttgart as a free agent in 2024 and made 20 goal contributions across all competitions during his time in the Bundesliga. Newcastle were impressed enough by those performances to splash a significant fee on Woltemade last summer, bringing him to the Premier League. He made a bright start at St. James’ Park but struggled to maintain his form and could not force his way into the starting line-up during the second half of last season. Newcastle…
Liverpool have made direct contact with the representatives of Paris Saint-Germain forward Ibrahim Mbaye, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The 18-year-old is represented by Jorge Mendes, and Romano states that Liverpool have opened talks with the agent over a possible summer move to Anfield. Mbaye began his youth career at ES Guyancourt before spending time with Versailles, eventually joining PSG’s academy at the age of 10. He worked his way through the Parisian youth system and has since won two Ligue 1 titles, two Champions League trophies, and several other major cup competitions. Despite those team successes, Mbaye has…
Rangers are pushing hard to sign PSV winger Couhaib Driouech, with negotiations between the two clubs now confirmed to be underway. Voetbal International journalist Joost Blaauwhof reports that Rangers have opened formal talks with PSV over a permanent transfer for the 24-year-old. Further reporting from PSV specialist Rik Elfrink confirms Rangers have already submitted their first multi-million-pound offer, which PSV rejected for falling below their valuation. PSV are protected by a contract running until 2029 and are reportedly seeking a package worth around £7 million, including bonuses. Despite the initial rejection, Driouech is said to favour the move and Rangers…
