TRANSFER UPDATES: Jack Grealish, Isak, Wissa, Sesko, Jackson Make Waves
Everton, West Ham, Napoli Chase Grealish on Loan
Everton are reportedly making a move to sign Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish on loan in this summer’s transfer window, according to iPaper.
However, they face stiff competition from West Ham and Napoli, both keen on luring the 29-year-old England international away from the Etihad in this summer’s transfer window.
Should Napoli fail in their pursuit of Dan Ndoye, they could turn their attention toward Grealish or Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, 21, as backup options.
Isak Heads To Liverpool
Sky Sports Switzerland reports that Alexander Isak has agreed personal terms with Liverpool, penning a potential five-year deal.
All that remains is for the Merseyside club to strike an agreement with Newcastle United for the 25-year-old Swedish striker, whose performances last season turned heads across Europe.
Newscastle Pushes for Wissa
Meanwhile, Newcastle is pushing hard for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa, but the Bees are refusing to budge without a replacement in place.
The 28-year-old DR Congo forward has emerged as a key transfer target, but Brentford are playing hardball, indicating they’re not open to letting him go “at any price.”
Chelsea’s defensive revamp continues as they inch closer to landing in Jorrel Hato, Ajax’s highly rated 19-year-old centre-back.
According to The Athletic, the Blues are preparing to splash over €40 million for the Netherlands international.
Chelsea are also making a transfer move for Morgan Rogers, 23, offering both Tosin Adarabioyo and Nicolas Jackson, along with a fee, to tempt Aston Villa.
Man United Bids For Hjulmand
United have also tabled a €40 million bid for Morten Hjulmand, though Sporting are holding firm for €50 million. In midfield exits, Toby Collyer, 21, is reportedly open to a loan move after making 13 appearances last term.
Benjamin Sesko, the Slovenian star at RB Leipzig, is drawing serious interest from Manchester United, who are now in a transfer tug-of-war with Newcastle over the 22-year-old striker, according to THE SUN
Everton are also revisiting old flames, renewing their interest in Ainsley Maitland-Niles, now at Lyon. The 27-year-old, once on Arsenal’s books, was a target back in 2021 and could finally make the move to Goodison Park, per Sky Sports.
Luiz Set To Return to EPL
Douglas Luiz is pushing for a Premier League return. The Brazilian midfielder, currently at Juventus, is on the radar of Everton, West Ham, and Nottingham Forest, reports Gazzetta dello Sport.
Zeze To Saudi Neom SC
Despite interest from Liverpool, Everton, Villa, and Bournemouth, 20-year-old Nathan Zeze is set to join Saudi Pro League outfit Neom SC, according to THE SUN. The Nantes defender is the latest young European star drawn by the Middle East’s financial muscle.
Ndoye To Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest are reportedly on the verge of securing Dan Ndoye from Bologna in a deal that would set a new club-record fee. The Swiss international, 24, is said to have informed Bologna of his desire to join the Premier League, paving the way for a formal announcement.
Moore Heads To Rangers
Mikey Moore, 17, could be heading to Rangers on loan from Tottenham, while Celtic and Strasbourg have tabled bids for Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, Manchester City’s promising 19-year-old defender.
Marc Cucurella, 27, Remains In Chelsea
