Spurred on: 'Valuable' Tottenham defender to see out last year of contract?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Fbedave_1.JPG "Tottenham Hotspur's Ben Davies and Sergio Reguilon pictured in November 2021")
Long-serving Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies plans to see out the final year of his contract in North London, according to a report.
The Wales international has now given a decade of service to the North London giants, whom he joined in a £10.8m deal from Swansea City prior to the 2014-15 campaign.
Davies quickly became a stalwart for Mauricio Pochettino and also played crucial roles for Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, either in a three-man defence or on the left-hand side.
The 31-year-old has now represented Tottenham on 330 occasions, conjuring up nine goals and 23 assists in that time, although he is still waiting to win his first trophy with the Lilywhites.
Time is up: Man City, Spurs 'dealt bitter £68m transfer blow'
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F32%2Fpep-guardiola.jpg "Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola pictured on August 10, 2024")
Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur reportedly suffer a blow in their efforts to sign Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, whose release clause has expired.
The England international has apparently found himself at the centre of a two-way tussle between the Big Six outfits after having a direct hand in 15 goals in 27 Premier League games last season.
Eze struck 11 goals of his own in addition to laying on four assists, helping Palace achieve their joint-highest finish and joint-highest points total in their Premier League history.
Keeping the whole gang together was always expected to be a tough ask for head coach Oliver Glasner, who was powerless to prevent Eze's deadly double act partner Michael Olise from joining Bayern Munich in a £50m switch.
Chelsea on red alert? Man Utd drop major Sancho hint
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F30%2Fjadon-sancho.jpg "Manchester United's Jadon Sancho pictured on July 20, 2024")
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag may have dropped a major hint about the future of Jadon Sancho before the Red Devils' 1-0 win over Fulham on Friday night.
The 20-time English champions had the honour of kicking off the 2024-25 Premier League season against the Cottagers, who had their fair share of bright moments in the Red Devils' attacking third.
Ten Hag's men got forward well on several occasions, but it appeared that profligacy would force both sides to accept a point, until debutant Joshua Zirkzee popped up with a late winner.
The Dutchman combined well with Alejandro Garnacho, who subsequently wasted a magnificent chance to put his side two goals to the good right at the death, as Ten Hag's inspired substitutes helped their side put their first three points on the board.
'It's better if he leaves' - Maresca makes declaration on defender's future
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F31%2Fenzo-maresca_1.jpg "Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca pictured in July 2024")
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has publicly acknowledged that Ben Chilwell does not feature in his plans for 2024-25.
The relentless spending of co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital has left the Blues with 43 players who could be used in the first-team squad.
As a result, a wide array of sales and loans are expected to materialise over the next two-and-a-half weeks with some high-profile names featuring on the list of potential outgoings.
Earlier this week, a report emerged suggesting that Chilwell was at risk of not being selected in Chelsea's Premier League squad when it is finalised at the end of the summer transfer window.
Bournemouth break club record to sign Solanke replacement

Bournemouth have announced that they have completed the signing of striker Evanilson from Porto.
The Cherries were left scouring the market for a new centre-forward after sanctioning the departure of Dominic Solanke.
Bournemouth agreed to sell the 26-year-old to Tottenham Hotspur for a reported £55m fee plus an additional £10m in potential bonuses.
After they allowed Solanke to depart, the Cherries were linked with a potential move for Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah.
"They need to add..." - Arsenal legend issues two transfer demands to Arteta
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Fmikemm.jpeg "Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino for Emmanuel Petit interview")
Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has claimed that the Gunners need to address two positions in the transfer market if they are to have a shot at winning the Premier League this season.
The 2023-24 campaign was another one of significant progression for Mikel Arteta's side, who memorably collapsed towards the end of the 2022-23 term after leading the pack for 248 days.
Arsenal once again had to accept a runners-up finish behind Manchester City last season, but they got to gameweek 38 still in contention for their first title since the 2003-04 Invincibles season, only for the Citizens' win over West Ham United ended their hopes of glory.
The Gunners have since struck two permanent deals in the transfer market, welcoming David Raya back following his Brentford loan and also signing Italy international defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna for a reported £42m.
Transfer news and rumours today: Guehi to Newcastle, Szmodics to Ipswich
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F09%2Fsammie-szmodics.jpg "Blackburn Rovers' Sammie Szmodics celebrates scoring their first goal on February 27, 2024")
Newly-promoted Ipswich Town have announced the signing of Sammie Szmodics from Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee.
The 28-year-old has put pen to paper on a four-year contract at Portman Road and leaves Blackburn after winning the Championship Golden Boot last season, scoring 27 times in 44 appearances.
Szmodics made a bright start to the new campaign with Blackburn, netting three goals in his first two matches, but he has now made the step up to the Premier League with Ipswich, who are competing in the top flight for the first time in 22 years.
"I am delighted to be here as an Ipswich Town player," the attacker told the club's official website. "There's always been interest since I was a kid, but it just felt right this time with the challenge of the Premier League.
Joao about that? Guardiola hints at lifeline for Man City defender
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F31%2Fpep-guardiola_2.jpg "Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola before the FC Series match on July 23, 2024")
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has refused to rule out the possibility of ostracised defender Joao Cancelo staying at the club for the 2024-25 campaign.
The Portugal international was formerly a key cog in his manager's system, shining in a hybrid full-back role and signing a new long-term deal midway through the 2021-22 campaign.
Just a few months later, though, Cancelo quickly fell out of favour under Guardiola amid reports that their relationship had become strained, and he spent the second half of the season on loan at Bayern Munich.
There would be no Etihad redemption tale for Cancelo last summer either, as the ex-Juventus man spent the 2023-24 season playing for Barcelona, where he contributed four goals and five assists from 42 matches.
"He is trying" - Maresca provides Gallagher update after transfer farce
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F32%2Fconor-gallagher.jpg "Conor Gallagher of Chelsea gestures towards the crowd on April 15, 2024")
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has provided the latest on the transfer saga surrounding Conor Gallagher after a complication in his proposed move to Atletico Madrid.
Having rejected the chance to pen a short-term extension with the Blues, and with his contract up in 2025, everything was set for Gallagher to enjoy a seamless transfer to the Wanda Metropolitano.
Atletico even posted a picture of Gallagher taking in his new surroundings on their official X account, as the midfielder had completed his medical ahead of his expected £34m transfer.
In a separate deal, Chelsea were working to poach Samu Omorodion from Diego Simeone's ranks, and Atletico were set to use the funds from the striker's sale to fund their Gallagher move after splashing out over £60m on Julian Alvarez.
Will Ceballos leave? Real Madrid midfielder 'makes decision' on future
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Fdani-ceballos.jpg "Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos on August 14, 2024")
Dani Ceballos reportedly has no desire to leave Real Madrid this summer, while the Spanish and European champions are not intending on sanctioning his exit late in the transfer window.
The 28-year-old's future has been the subject of speculation this summer, with a number of clubs believed to have made their interest in the midfielder known.
However, according to Marca, Ceballos will not be on the move before the market closes, as neither the player nor the club want to part ways over the next couple of weeks.
The report claims that the midfielder is confident that he will be regularly involved with the first team this season despite not being considered to be a starter by head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Defender exit: Fiorentina 'in talks' with Man United over transfer
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F28%2Fmncmnu_1.jpg "Manchester United's Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof on March 6, 2022")
Fiorentina are reportedly keen to sign Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof this summer, with the Sweden international expected to leave Old Trafford before the transfer window closes.
Man United have signed two centre-backs this summer, bringing in Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, meaning that Lindelof could struggle for action during the 2024-25 campaign.
Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag is thought to be keen to move the Swede on this summer, with Yoro, De Ligt, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and possibly Jonny Evans all ahead of him in the pecking order.
Lindelof has entered the final 12 months of his contract at Old Trafford, and he is unlikely to be offered an extension, with a departure this summer therefore potentially suiting all parties.
Sancho swap? Prem club 'lining up' offer for Man United attacker
Chelsea have reportedly emerged as serious contenders to sign Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho before this summer's transfer window closes for business.
Sancho has patched-up his relationship with Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag, and the forward was involved in the team's preparations for the 2024-25 campaign before featuring off the bench against his former club Manchester City in the Community Shield last weekend.
There remains ongoing speculation surrounding the Englishman's future, though, with Paris Saint-Germain believed to be keen to secure his signature.
According to Fussball News, PSG have cooled their interest, having agreed a deal for Rennes' Desire Doue, but Chelsea are now in the hunt for Sancho's signature.
PSR boost: Villa confirm sale of striker to newly-promoted club
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F28%2Funai-emery.jpg "Aston Villa manager Unai Emery pictured in May 2024")
Aston Villa have confirmed that forward Cameron Archer has left the club to sign for Southampton on a permanent basis.
The academy graduate initially took his chance in the Villa first team at the start of 2021-22, scoring four times against Barrow and Chelsea in the EFL Cup.
However, they would prove to be his only senior goals for his boyhood club, instead being sent out on loan on numerous occasions.
A situation arose last summer where Sheffield United signed Archer for £15m under the premise that he would return to Villa for a similar fee if they suffered relegation.
Atletico set Chelsea deadline for Felix transfer?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F29%2Fjoao-felix.JPG "Portugal's Joao Felix pictured on June 26, 2024")
Chelsea have reportedly been informed that they must finalise a deal for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix by next week.
The Premier League and La Liga giants have become embroiled in a complex transfer situation over the past week as they bid to bolster their respective situations with financial fair play.
After a deal which would have seen Samu Omorodion leave Atletico for Chelsea broke down, Felix emerged as a realistic alternative for the Blues.
Negotiations are said to have been held in recent days with Atletico wanting to recoup more than the £34.5m that they would have generated for Omorodion.
PL return in the offing? Ex-Chelsea star 'would love' to join Man United
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F32%2Ferik-ten-hag.jpg "Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag pictured on August 10, 2024")
Former Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso is reportedly interested in signing for Manchester United.
Alonso is on the market as a free agent having seen his two-year stint with Barcelona come to an end over the summer.
Across that period, the left-back made a total of 45 appearances for the Catalan giants, but just eight outings came during 2023-24.
Now 33 years of age, the former Spain international is now assessing the next phase of his career, aware that he may not get many more opportunities to join a high-profile club.
More business with Juve? Spurs 'plotting' £20m move for Italy international
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F20%2Fange-postecoglou_1.JPG "Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou pictured on May 19, 2024")
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Juventus midfielder Manuel Locatelli before the end of the summer transfer window.
The North Londoners can claim to have enjoyed a productive period in the market with prospects Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall strengthening Ange Postecoglou's options in the engine room.
Gray can be viewed as an alternative to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has left for Marseille, yet Spurs remain with strong depth in that area of the pitch.
However, Oliver Skipp may depart the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the right price, while Yves Bissouma has recently been suspended by the club for his off-the-field behaviour.
'The day I've been waiting for' - Man City outcast joins Premier League club

Ipswich Town have announced the signing of midfielder Kalvin Phillips on loan from Manchester City for the 2024-25 season.
The 28-year-old has failed to reach the heights expected at Man City following his £42m transfer from boyhood club Leeds United two years ago.
Phillips has been unable to establish himself as a first-team regular under Pep Guardiola, making just six starts in 31 appearances across all competitions before being loaned out to West Ham United for the second half of last season.
The Yorkshireman endured a torrid spell at the London Stadium, though, with his below-par performances across 10 outings leading to widespread criticism from the Hammers fanbase.
Man United, West Ham handed boost in Calvert-Lewin pursuit?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Fdominic-calvert-lewin.jpg "Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin on July 30, 2024")
Everton manager Sean Dyche has refused to rule out the prospect of losing striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin before the transfer window closes on August 30.
The 27-year-old was linked with a move to Newcastle United earlier this summer, but a switch to St James' Park has ultimately failed to materialise.
Calvert-Lewin has since attracted interest from other Premier League clubs including Manchester United, West Ham United and Crystal Palace.
It is understood that Everton are yet to receive any concrete offers for Calvert-Lewin, who has entered the final year of his contract at Goodison Park.
Could Liverpool's Diaz finalise move to Barcelona this summer?

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has delivered an update on the future of winger Luis Diaz, who has recently been linked with a potential exit from Anfield.
The 26-year-old joined Liverpool from Porto in January 2022 for an initial £37.5m plus £12.5m in add-ons and quickly became a first-team regular under former boss Jurgen Klopp.
Diaz has scored 24 goals and registered 13 assists in 98 appearances for the Reds across all competitions, including 13 strikes and five assists in 51 games last season.
The Colombia international still has three years remaining on his contract at Anfield, but he has been the subject of transfer speculation throughout this summer.
Major Ugarte update: Are Man United closing in on midfielder's signing?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Fmanuel-ugarte.jpg "Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte on May 25, 2024")
Manuel Ugarte has been left out of the Paris Saint-Germain squad for the team's opening match of the 2024-25 campaign against Le Havre on Friday night.
The 23-year-old's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with Manchester United believed to have identified him as their leading midfield target this summer.
On Thursday evening, a report claimed that Man United had come to an agreement over a five-year deal for the Uruguay international, with the Red Devils closing in on a move.
Ugarte's absence from the PSG squad for their Ligue 1 opener will only fuel suggestions that the midfielder is close to leaving the French champions.
Surprise signing? Man City 'on verge' on recruiting new striker
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F29%2Fpep-guardiola.JPG "Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola celebrates after the match on April 20, 2024")
Manchester City are reportedly closing in on the signing of teenage striker Divin Mubama following his departure from West Ham United.
The 19-year-old progressed through West Ham's academy which he joined at the age of eight back in 2013, but he departed the club at the end of June following the expiration of his contract.
Mubama, who has represented England at all youth age groups from Under-15s to Under-20s, impressed at youth level for the Hammers, scoring 58 goals in 91 appearances for the Under-18s and Under-21s, and was a member of the squad that won the 2023 FA Youth Cup.
The Newham-born striker made his senior debut for West Ham in a Europa Conference League group-stage win over FCSB in November 2022, before scoring his first and only senior goal in a last-16 victory over AEK Larnaca at the London Stadium in March 2023.
"What the hell?" - Ex-Chelsea man blasts Blues' transfer strategy
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Ftodboh.jpeg "Chelsea owner Todd Boehly for Emmanuel Petit interview")
Former Chelsea, Arsenal and France midfielder Emmanuel Petit has launched a scathing attack on the Blues' transfer strategy under their current ownership.
Ever since Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali came into the Stamford Bridge offices at the expense of Roman Abramovich in 2022, Chelsea have spent over an astronomical £1bn on new players, only to struggle to escape mid-table mediocrity in the Premier League and only just sneak into the top six last term.
The Blues' recruitment drive has focused on signing the talents of tomorrow, some of whom have already been integrated into the first team to exceptional effect, such as former Manchester City starlet Cole Palmer.
However, many other fledgling talents have either been sent out on loan or are struggling for minutes in Chelsea's bloated squad, which currently houses 44 senior players, although a handful are expected to leave before the transfer window shuts.
"He decided not to come" - Slot confirms 25-year-old rejected Liverpool

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi rejected the chance to join the Reds this summer.
The 25-year-old - also linked with Arsenal, Barcelona and Bayern Munich - was identified as a leading target for the Merseyside giants in the number six role after his rise to prominence in his homeland.
Zubimendi had already affirmed several weeks ago that he had no intention of leaving Sociedad, but he appeared to briefly have a change of heart when it emerged that Liverpool were working on a deal to sign him.
Sociedad had supposedly resigned themselves to losing the Euro 2024 winner to Liverpool, but the two clubs never agreed a fee, as the Spanish giants insisted that his €60m (£51.1m) release clause be paid in full.
Bolt from the blue: Tottenham agree shock deal for Burnley attacker

Tottenham Hotspur have announced that they have agreed a surprise deal to sign 19-year-old Burnley attacker Wilson Odobert.
The 2004-born attacker has left Turf Moor to join the Lilywhites for an undisclosed fee, believed to be an initial £25m potentially reaching £30m with add-ons, and he has signed a five-year deal with Ange Postecoglou's side until the summer of 2029.
Odobert becomes Tottenham's fourth signing of the summer window after Dominic Solanke, Archie Gray and Yang Min-hyeok, and the fifth new face to arrive after Lucas Bergvall, whose signing was agreed in January.
The 19-year-old will take the number 28 shirt in North London, a jersey vacated by the exit of Tanguy Ndombele and previously worn by Jermaine Jenas, Kevin Prince-Boateng and Kyle Walker.
Transfer news and rumours: Soler to West Ham, Wissa to Wolves, Ayew to Leicester

West Ham United have reportedly contacted Paris Saint-Germain to discuss a potential move for Carlos Soler before the end of the summer transfer window.
Soler, 27, joined PSG from Valencia in 2022, and the Spaniard has represented the Ligue 1 champions on 63 occasions, scoring eight goals and registering eight assists in the process.
According to the Daily Mail, West Ham have approached Luis Enrique's side to discuss a deal for Soler, who has another three years left to run on his contract.
Soler came through the youth system at Valencia, making 226 appearances for Los Che, before he left Spain to join the champions of France.
Chelsea ready to loan out midfielder to newly-promoted PL club?
Chelsea have reportedly identified Southampton as the perfect club for one of their midfielders.
The Blues have continued to splurge money on a wide array of players during the summer transfer window, nine of whom have been acquired with this season in mind.
Some of the players in question will compete for a first-team place, while others are loaned out to clubs either on the domestic front or abroad.
With Chelsea having already loaned Caleb Wiley and Andrey Santos to Strasbourg, only four foreign loan slots remain for the remaining two-and-a-half weeks of the market.
Another one? Saudi clubs 'targeting' Vinicius Junior's Real Madrid teammate

Real Madrid centre-back Eder Militao is reportedly on the radar of a number of Saudi Pro League clubs.
There has recently been a host of speculation surrounding the future of Vinicius Junior, with teams from Saudi Arabia thought to be willing to pay him an astronomical salary to move to their top flight.
It has been claimed that Vinicius could receive in the region of £300m a year if he moved to Saudi Arabia, but Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti played down the exit rumours ahead of the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.
"We have a squad and other good players have arrived. It's [the Saudi Pro League] not a threat, we have a lot of quality. I'm sure we can do great things. Vinicius? There is nothing. It's market speculation," Ancelotti said when asked whether he was concerned by the rumours surrounding the Brazilian star.
Real Madrid's transfer chief is 'following' three young centre-backs

Real Madrid are reportedly tracking Valencia duo Yarek Gasiorowski and Cristhian Mosquera, in addition to Palmeiras' Vitor Reis, with the capital giants expected to move for a new centre-back next year.
Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that his club will not be signing any further players this summer, with Endrick and Kylian Mbappe set to be their only additions in the current window.
Real Madrid are a player down at the back, though, with Nacho leaving on a free transfer, and Los Blancos missed out on a move for Lille's Leny Yoro, who completed a switch to Manchester United.
However, it is widely expected that a new centre-back will move to Bernabeu next year, and according to Fichajes, three youngsters are on the club's radar.
