Fulham are reportedly interested in signing Ipswich Town defender Ben Johnson.

The Cottagers are believed to be keen to sign a new right-back, with uncertainty surrounding Kenny Tete's future at Craven Cottage.

Tete is out of contract at the end of the season, and it is currently unclear whether he will sign a new deal with the West London club.

Even if Tete commits to fresh terms, Fulham could still look to add strength in depth to their full-back options, especially if they are able to secure European football for next season.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall has signed a new contract which will keep him tied down in North London until 2031.

The Swedish midfielder only joined Spurs last summer for a reported £8.5m from Djurgarden, where he had spent 18 months following a move from boyhood club Brommapojkarna.

After making his first start in the dramatic EFL Cup victory over Coventry City in September, Bergvall has gone on to be hugely involved in first-team matters this season, making 45 appearances, despite only turning 19 in February.

The club have evidently seen enough from the youngster to offer him a new and improved deal, though, with the two sides agreeing on a new five-and-a-half year contract.

Liverpool attacker Federico Chiesa has reportedly been shortlisted by Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce ahead of a potential summer transfer.

The Italian international was the only new face to come through the door at Anfield last summer in Arne Slot's first transfer window in charge, but he has been unable to break into Liverpool's front three during their title-winning campaign.

Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo are just some of the players who have blocked Chiesa's passage into the first team, with Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez also ahead of him in the pecking order.

Some onlookers believed that Chiesa's goalscoring cameo in the EFL Cup defeat to Newcastle United would kick start his career at Anfield, but that has not transpired.

Why "extraordinary" Kovacic has been a "massive part" of Man City's recent success

Manchester City expert Steven McInerney from Esteemed Kompany believes that "unique" midfielder Mateo Kovacic has played a "massive part" in the club's recent upturn in form.

The Citizens have put together an eight-game unbeaten run across all competitions and Kovacic has particularly excelled in their last four fixtures, scoring two goals and providing one assist.

Kovacic was named Man of the Match after playing a starring role in Man City's 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals last weekend, and manager Pep Guardiola has described the midfielder's recent form as "extraordinary".

Manchester City are reportedly contemplating whether to make a surprise approach for a player who has previously starred in the Championship.

Pep Guardiola and his squad are attempting to end a disappointing season on a high by finishing in the top five of the Premier League table and winning the FA Cup.

Ange vs. Andoni as Spurs identify 'bargain signing' for summer window

© Imago

Tottenham Hotspur are supposedly 'well-placed' to strike a summer deal for talented 18-year-old Feyenoord product Zepiqueno Redmond, regardless of Ange Postecoglou's future.

There is a growing feeling that Postecoglou will be relieved of his duties at the end of the season, as the Australian could oversee Spurs' worst-ever Premier League campaign in terms of their position in the table.

The Lilywhites lie 16th in the rankings after the weekend's 5-1 humiliation at the hands of Liverpool, who came from a goal down to clinch the title after Dominic Solanke headed home the opening goal.

However, Postecoglou could salvage Spurs' season with Europa League success, as Tottenham face Bodo/Glimt in Thursday's semi-final first leg, and Solanke has thrived up top in Europe's secondary competition.

Leeds United have reportedly identified a Newcastle United midfielder as a potential summer transfer target.

After Monday night's 4-0 victory over Bristol City, Leeds know that they will win the Championship title if they beat Plymouth Argyle on Saturday.

Chelsea are allegedly open-minded to cashing in on one of their injury-hit defenders during the summer transfer window.

However, there have been several occasions this campaign when Maresca has had to cope without key defenders courtesy of several injury issues, both short and long term.

Reece James, Malo Gusto and Wesley Fofana all fall into that bracket, none of the trio having made more than 19 starts in the Premier League this season.

Exclusive: Why Guardiola is right with bold Man City transfer claim

Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola is right when he says that his side do not need to add any new centre-backs to their squad this summer, ex-Sky Blues defender Richard Dunne has exclusively told Sports Mole.

After watching Liverpool rip the Premier League title from their grasp at the weekend, the former English champions are expected to undergo a significant squad overhaul this summer, but Guardiola told reporters last week that his side did not need to buy any more centre-halfs.

The Citizens bolstered their rearguard ranks in January with the signings of Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis in January, as the pair joined Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake and John Stones as Guardiola's central options, but the latter two are currently nursing injuries and have missed 29 games between them.

Akanji also spent two months out with an adductor problem until recently, while he, Dias and Ake could all leave for free in 2027, and Stones's contract is up at the end of next season.
