What Tottenham's Dubravka deal means for Vicario and Kinsky
18:25 , George Flood
Roberto De Zerbi has praised Martin Dubravka’s experience and leadership after Tottenham confirmed they will sign the veteran goalkeeper upon the expiry of his contract at Burnley, writes Sam Tabuteau.
The Slovakian international will join Spurs on July 1 and is expected to provide back up for Antonin Kinsky.
With first-choice ‘keeper Guglielmo Vicario edging towards leaving the club, Spurs have been looking to bolster their options between the sticks.
Kinsky enjoyed an impressive end to the campaign as Spurs stayed up on the final day of the Premier League season and could yet make the No1 spot his own.
Real reopen Fernandez talks
18:15 , Oli Gent
Real Madrid have reopened talks with Chelsea for Enzo Fernandez, according to BBC Sport.
The Argentine features prominently on Jose Mourinho’s wishlist this summer, and the Blues are understood to have placed a £120million price tag on the midfielder.
Zidane considers former Man Utd keeper
17:55 , Oli Gent
Zinedine Zidane is a top target to replace Didier Deschamps as France manager after the World Cup, and L’Equipe report that the former midfielder is considering bringing in Fabien Barthez, the ex-Manchester United goalkeeper, as part of his backroom staff should be be appointed.
Spurs' Dubravka signing signals Vicario exit
17:35 , Ronan Sullivan
Martin Dubravka’s confirmed move to Spurs has triggered the imminent exit of Guglielmo Vicario and signified Antonin Kinsky’s status as their new no1.
Now, the Times are suggesting Tottenham want around £17m for the Italian, who they bought in 2023 for £16m.
The shot-stopper suffered criticism this season before hernia surgery ruled him out for several weeks near the season’s end, allowing Kinsky to stake his claim for a starting berth.
Vicario’s departure reflects the level of churn Spurs are undergoing this summer as they look to rebuild a squad almost relegated from the Premier League.
Spurs edge ahead in Fernandes race
17:15 , Ronan Sullivan
Spurs are moving ahead of Manchester United in the race to sign Mateus Fernandes, according to the Times.
Roberto de Zerbi’s side are willing to a pay higher fee - reported to be £85m - than the Red Devils, so are current favourites to land the Portuguese.
Sandro Tonali is another target who Spurs are in firm talks with; the Lilywhites reportedly plan to buy both Tonali and Fernandes for their new-look midfield.
Former Spurs man Royal interesting Villa
16:43 , Ronan Sullivan
Aston Villa are plotting a surprise move for former Spurs defender Emerson Royal.
Unai Emery’s side are seeking a budget-friendly back-up for Matty Cash and the Brazilian could cost £7.7m from Flamengo, who he joined from AC Milan a year ago.
Royal, 27, spent three years with Spurs, making 79 appearances and scoring four goals.
The Villans’ Champions League qualification necessitates greater squad depth, and Royal’s potential addition would fulfil that need.
Man United working on Ugarte exit
16:35 , Ronan Sullivan
Manchester United must sell out-of-favour midfielder Manuel Ugarte to bring in further midfield additions.
The Sun reports United are confident of securing Mateus Fernandes’ signing, but can only secure Alex Scott or Carlos Baleba - from Bournemouth and Brighton, respectively - if they shift the Uruguayan on first.
Ugarte signed from PSG two years ago, but has struggled to secure a starting berth under both Ruben Amorim and Michael Carrick and now looks certain to leave.
Manchester United want around £45m for the 25-year-old.
Barca want cut-price Rashford
16:07 , Ronan Sullivan
Barcelona are still hoping to sign Marcus Rashford - but only if Manchester United lower their transfer demands.
The Blaugrana’s £69m signing of Anthony Gordon seemed to end Rashford’s hopes of a reunion with Hansi Flick’s men after a season-long loan with the Spanish side.
But new reports from Teamtalk indicate Barca still live in hope that Man United will drop their £40m asking price. They are hoping the Red Devils will settle at around £25m-£30m for the England international.
Barcelona are not the only interested suitors, however; Tottenham are sniffing around Rashford as they look to bolster their squad and back new head coach Roberto de Zerbi.
Chelsea to fight Madrid for Ramon
15:40 , Ronan Sullivan
Chelsea are again looking to Serie A for defensive reinforcements, stepping up their pursuit of Jacobo Ramon amid the imminent signing of Marco Palestra.
Teamtalk have stated the Blues will fight with Real Madrid for the young centre-back, who joined Como from Madrid last summer.
The west London side may find it difficult to compete with Jose Mourinho’s side, who have a series of favourable buy-back clauses in Ramon’s contract.
Confirmed: Dubravka joins Spurs
15:21 , Ronan Sullivan
Martin Dubravka has officially joined Spurs as a free agent after the expiry of his Burnley contract.

Martinez to Juve in doubt
15:15 , Ronan Sullivan
Emiliano Martinez’s transfer to Juventus is no closer after the Turin giants baulked at Aston Villa’s demands.
The Villans dropped the fee from £12.9m to £8.5m in recent days, but the Italian club are still unwilling to pay.
The 33-year-old is willing to take a pay cut on his wages, but the stumbling block remains the transfer fee.
Villa: Rogers 'not for sale at any price'
14:55 , Ronan Sullivan
Sky Sports News are reporting Aston Villa do not want to sell Morgan Rogers, amid strong links with Arsenal.
Rogers, 23, has been the subject of interest from the north London team, along with Chelsea, Real Madrid and PSG.
Figures of £100m have been floated around, but these reports indicate the England midfielder is not for sale at any price.
Bellamy to leave Wales; join Burnley
14:35 , Ronan Sullivan
Wales manager Craig Bellamy is in advanced talks to join Burnley, according to Sami Mokbel.
Bellamy, who took charge of Wales in 2024, said earlier this month “it doesn’t feel that time” to move on from his national side.
But these reports indicate he is willing to succeed Scot Parker, who was sacked after the club’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed in April.
Tchouameni out; Fernandez in at Real Madrid
14:14 , Ronan Sullivan
Aurelien Tchouameni could depart Real Madrid to make room for Enzo Fernandez, Mario Cortegana reports.
Fernandez is new Madrid boss Jose Mourinho’s apparent top target, so Tchouameni may need to be moved on to make space for the Argentine.
The Chelsea midfielder would cost an eye-watering £120m, but the Blues are willing to sanction his departure after comments he made earlier this season.
Rumours Eduardo Camavinga could depart are considered wide of the mark by sources close to the situation.
Hull want Man United's Vitek
13:55 , Ronan Sullivan
Hull are targeting the young Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek, the Daily Mail report.
Vitek, 22, was on loan at Bristol City last season and kept 12 clean sheets in 41 appearances.
The Czech shot-stopper does want to play back-up to Senne Lammens, so is seeking a move away from Old Trafford, with newly-promoted Hull City his most likely destination.
Kone in north London transfer tussle
13:35 , Ronan Sullivan
Manu Kone favours a move to Arsenal over Spurs, Italian press reports say.
The France international, 25, currently plays for Roma, but both north London sides have enquired about the defensive midfielder in recent weeks.
The Gunners are willing to move on Christian Norgaard and - more surprisingly - captain Martin Odegaard this summer, necessitating midfield reinforcements.
Spurs are looking to spend big this summer after entering talks with £100m-rated Sandro Tonali and £80m-rated Mateus Fernandes.
Grimaldo to seal £25m Atleti move
13:15 , Ronan Sullivan
Bayer Leverkusen’s Alejando Grimaldo is on the move to Atletico Madrid, Kicker reports.
The left-back, 30, is set to join Atleti for £21.5m, who currently only have Matteo Ruggeri in his position.
The Spain international joined Leverkusen from Benfica on a free in 2023 and helped new Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso secure an unbeaten domestic double.
His La Roja teammate and fellow left-back Marc Cucurella joined city rivals Real last week.
Celtic's Nygren on Spurs' radar
12:56 , Ronan Sullivan
Spurs have an interest in Celtic midfielder Benjamin Nygren as their spending spree continues, Sportsboom report.
Celtic are looking for around £26m for the Sweden international. Nygren, 24, has started both of their World Cup games so far.
He could supplement Roberto de Zerbi’s attacking options as Dejan Kulusevski and Xavi Simons recover from long-term injuries.
Leeds secure Wilson signing
12:35 , Ronan Sullivan
Harry Wilson is set to join Leeds on a free after rejecting a contract offer from Fulham.
His contract with the Cottagers is due to expire and the west London side were reported to have offered the Welshman, 29 a new deal.
But David Ornstein is reporting Wilson has agreed to sign for Leeds and join Daniel Farke’s side.
The winger almost joined the Whites last summer, but stayed at Craven Cottage.
He scored 10 goals and assisted seven for the Cottagers last season and his signing is a major coup for Farke.
Vicario to leave Tottenham as Dubravka deal sealed
12:06 , George Flood
Martin Dubravka to Tottenham looks to be a done deal.
As discussed earlier, Spurs have made a surprise swoop for the 37-year-old as part of significant changes to their goalkeeping group this summer.
Dubravka will join Tottenham following the expiration of his contract at relegated Burnley next week.
Fabrizio Romano reports that the former Newcastle and Manchester United stopper will be the second-choice option behind Antonin Kinsky, with Guglielmo Vicario definitely now on his way out.
That would be a massive show of faith in Kinsky from head coach Roberto De Zerbi, with Spurs having been strongly linked with the likes of James Trafford of England and Manchester City in this window.
Chelsea asking price for Gusto revealed amid Man City interest
11:35 , George Flood
There are conflicting reports emerging on the status of Malo Gusto at Chelsea.
Some have claimed this morning that the Blues are willing to sell their French international for a fee of around £45m after securing the signing of Atalanta right-back Marco Palestra.
However, there are now several reports that Chelsea actually value Gusto at £75m and are not actively looking to offload him despite agreeing a move for Palestra.
The Daily Mail add that several clubs have expressed an interest in signing the 23-year-old, not just Manchester City.
Tottenham in advanced talks to sign Martin Dubravka
10:49 , George Flood
Tottenham are reportedly closing in on the surprise signing of Martin Dubravka.
Spurs’ goalkeeping department looks set to be subject to plenty of upheaval this summer, with No1 Guglielmo Vicario widely expected to return to Serie A.
The future of rejuvenated deputy Antonin Kinsky also remains unclear, with Brandon Austin currently serving as third-choice option between the posts.
According to The Athletic, Tottenham are in advanced talks to sign Dubravka, who will leave relegated Burnley later this month following the expiration of his contract at Turf Moor.
The 37-year-old was previously at Newcastle and spent time on loan at Manchester United.
Brighton’s Jason Steele was among the other options said to have been considered by Spurs.
Maresca eyes Gusto reunion at Man City
09:33 , George Flood
What does Marco Palestra’s imminent arrival mean for the Chelsea future of Malo Gusto?

Multiple outlets report that soon-to-be new Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca is keen on a reunion with Gusto at the Etihad Stadium.
Ben Jacobs of GiveMeSport claims that Chelsea could part with the Frenchman for a fee of around £45m, with Newcastle’s Tino Livramento also on the City shortlist.

The deal also includes a sell-on clause.

08:28 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Manchester United are expected to launch an official bid for West Ham star Mateus Fernandes in the coming days.
It has been reported that the Red Devils have already reached an agreement with the midfielder over personal terms, so the next step is to strike a deal with the Hammers over a transfer fee.
According to TEAMtalk, that is set to happen before the end of the week as United are set to make their first bid.
West Ham are believed to be holding out for £85million.
Bayern plot to keep Olise
08:08 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Bayern Munich are ready to hand Michael Olise a new contract in an attempt to ward off interest from Real Madrid.
Bild journalist Christian Falk has said: “Bayern want to nearly double Michael Olise’s wages in Munich as part of a deal to keep him at the club until 2031. You’ve heard the saying, if in trouble, make it double.
“The trouble is from Real Madrid – they really want him, and they’re fully aware of just how good he was in the Bundesliga this season.”

07:14 , George Flood

06:53 , George Flood

All that is left is for Palestra to agree personal terms at Stamford Bridge, though that is not expected to be an issue.
Arsenal eye huge Julian Alvarez swap deal
06:49 , George Flood
Arsenal also appear to remain in the race for Julian Alvarez.
A huge row has erupted between Atletico Madrid and LaLig rivals Barcelona over the Argentina striker, who has requested a transfer and said he wants to leave the Metropolitano Stadium in order to “fulfil his dream”.
That is thought to mean a move to Barca, who are set to be subject to a complaint to FIFA lodged by Atletico.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have not given up hope over bringing the ex-Manchester City marksman back to the Premier League, with renewed talk of an audacious swap deal.
It has been suggested in Spain that Alvarez could yet move to the Emirates Stadium, with Viktor Gyokeres and a fee in the region of €60m heading in the opposite direction.

Los Blancos are planning to exercise this clause, then sell him on for around £50m to an interested party - like Spurs.

Brobbey an option for Spurs, Chelsea, United
Tuesday 23 June 2026 14:58 , Ronan Sullivan
Brian Brobbey is another Premier League player attracting significant attention from Premier League clubs, as Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester United are monitoring the Dutch international, Teamtalk say.
Brobbey, 24, scored seven goals for Sunderland as they finished 7th in the Premier League in their first season back since 2017. The striker also scored twice in the Netherlands’ recent 5-1 win over Sweden.
His goalscoring ability could be useful to those Premier League clubs: Spurs’ strike force of Dominic Solanke and Richarlison is unreliable; Chelsea are looking to offload Nicolas Jackson and Liam Delap, and Man United need depth as they return to the Champions League.

Tuesday 23 June 2026 14:50 , Ronan Sullivan

Tuesday 23 June 2026 13:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Bradley Barcola is ‘thrilled’ at the prospect of a move to Liverpool, despite transfer links with Arsenal.
That is according to reports in France as Le10 Sport claim the Paris Saint-Germain forward is ‘excited’ by the project at Liverpool, under new head coach Andoni Iraola, and the chance to play in the Premier League.
Barcola has emerged as a reported target for Liverpool and Arsenal this summer, with both teams bidding to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
In a boost for the Premier League duo, L'Equipe have previously claimed that PSG are open to a sale this summer as Barcola has two years left on his contract and talks over an extension are not progressing well.
However, while it appeared that Arsenal were leading the race for the 23-year-old amid suggestions of a bid being prepared, they face strong competition from Liverpool, with the forward seemingly preferring a switch to Merseyside.
Arsenal to sign Monga
Tuesday 23 June 2026 13:00 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
