England international Angel Gomes has reached a verbal agreement to sign for French giants Olympique Marseille.

The deal is set to be a three-year contract.

The 24-year-old former Man United player had proposals from across Germany, England and Italy, but chose to stay in France and head south.

One of these proposals including Tottenham, who were confident in signing the player according to TBR Football.

However, French journalist Fabrice Hawkins, has given the seal of approval to the move.

He wrote: "Agreement in principal between Angel Gomes and Olympique Marseille for a three year contract.

"The English international is on a free and OM wants to finalise his arrival this week. 

"Tracked also by Tottenham and West Ham, Gomes has given his preference to Marseille.

"The performances of the Marseille team led by De Zerbi as well as qualification to the Champions League were key factors in convincing the player."

A major update in the Viktor Gyökeres saga has seen the striker drop a key requirement which has been heavily mentioned since the transfer window opened.

The Swede has been one of the most in demand players in world football following his record-breaking season with Sporting Lisbon.

The forward has scored 54 goals and assisted 13 in 52 matches this season.

Now, Ben Jacobs has reported that Gyökeres is willing to join Manchester United despite the club not playing in the Champions League or Europe at all.

Jacobs also said that the player remains in contact with Ruben Amorim and that Sporting would be willing to sell the player for £60m.

Man United have already been busy in the transfer marker, signing Matheus Cunha already and in advanced talks for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo.

Liverpool are making serious waves this transfer window.

They have already signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for £30m, while they are closing in on the £120m-rated Florian Wirtz, also from Leverkusen, and Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, who will cost around £35m.

Now it seems they have one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League in their sights, in the form of Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite.

The 22-year-old was wanted last year by Man United, but the Toffees rebuffed their £50m offer.

Chelsea and Spurs have also shown serious interest in the Englishman, while the Daily Mail have said that Manchester City and Liverpool are 'keeping a close eye' on the player.

If the Reds did manage to nab the left-sided man, their defence would be set up for years to come with Ibrahima Konate, 26, Frimpong, 24, and, potentially, Kerkez, 21.

The Daily Mail have also reported that Everton are still interested in Liverpool winger Ben Doak.

On the Toffees' recruitment strategy, boss David Moyes said: “Characters will always make football clubs.

"We want ability and quality. We have great characters here, and I need to add to that, and I need to continue to find people who can fill the boots of maybe ones which have left or may move on. So, yes, character plays a huge part in all managers’ decision-making.”

"There have been lots of changes while I’ve been away. We used to have quite a small building, a small number of staff – and it’s now expanded greatly.

“There are all sorts of things that have changed across the club and I think lots of things are very good, but there are also things I think that would be better if we try to change and look to go in a different direction in some ways.”

Erik ten Hag is reportedly close to a reunion with a former Man United player as a Florian Wirtz replacement.

Reports from ABC Brazil suggest that Man United winger Antony could be in line for a reunion with his former manager Erik ten Hag as the manager remains keen on the player.

Antony has been a man reborn in Spain after joining Real Betis on loan from Man United, attracting interest from all over Europe after his good performances.

The Brazilian has also managed to capture the eye of his former Man United manager Erik ten Hag who brought him to the club in the first place for a huge £86m price tag.

MailSport also backed the claims that Leverkusen have shown interest in the player.

Antony has 14 goal contributions in 26 appearances.

Paul Pogba has been offered to a Champions League club in a remarkable return to the game.

Having not played since September 2023, the French midfielder was suspended for four years after an initial sample taken after a game against Udinese showed DHEA.

Pogba denied 'knowingly or deliberately taking supplements that violate anti-doping regulations', with his ban reduced to 18 months on appeal.

Now, Foot Mercato state that a return to the game is closer than ever, with the player reportedly offered to Champions League outfit Monaco.

Antony is due to return to Manchester United after a successful loan at Real Betis, a period in which he scored nine goals and made five assists for the Spanish Europa Conference League finalists. 

With his future still up in the air, it has since been reported that a European giant have expressed their interest: Juventus.

Brazilian outlet UOL Esporte have reported that the Old Lady have been monitoring the player since the start of the year and pose a strong admiration to the United winger.

Chelsea have reached a conclusion on whether they will sign Jadon Sancho permanently this summer.

Enjoying a loan spell in London, Sancho bagged the third goal in The Blues' Europa Conference League victory v Real Betis last week.

Now, things have developed fast and David Ornstein has confirmed that the player will leave the club after an agreement couldn't be reached for the loan to turn permanent. 

Chelsea now will pay a £5m penalty to Man United and the player will explore options in Europe/England for the next move.

Sunderland have entered advanced talks over the sale of star teenage sensation Jobe Bellingham.

Bellingham, 19, has been instrumental in the club's success as the North East giants have soared back to the big time after a prolonged absence.

Victorious at Wembley courtesy of a late comeback v Sheffield United, the Black Cats now have top-flight football to look forward to once more.

However, as per Sky Sports, Borussia Dortmund have entered advanced talks with the club over a potential transfer for the player.

Bellingham's older brother, Jude, is also formerly of Dortmund, enabling Jobe to potentially follow his footsteps. 

Jobe is committed to join the Bundesliga club, after prior interest from the likes of Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig. 

The player has a release clause in his contract of around £33.7m.

Bruno Fernandes has made a definitive decision on a "crazy" offer proposed to him by Saudi Arabia.

The Manchester United captain has been in the headlines since the end of the season after reports materialised that Saudi Arabia wanted to sign the star midfielder.

Reports claimed that he had been offered a deal worth up to £300m including a £100m transfer fee to Manchester United.

However, Fabrizio Romano has reported that the player will not be moving to the Middle East.

He reported: "Bruno Fernandes has REJECTED Al Hilal proposal.

"Despite crazy contract proposal from the Saudi Pro League club, Bruno Fernandes wants to continue playing football in Europe. 

"Man United captain wants to play at top level in Europe. Decision made.

Other factors believed to be key in his decision was not uprooting his family who have settled in Manchester and did not appear convinced by the Saudi offer, as reported by Sacha Tavolieri.

Bryan Mbeumo has reportedly chosen where he'll be playing football next season.

This comes as per The Athletic who report that the player has chosen Manchester United and talks between the club and player will start soon.

Both Arsenal and Newcastle were interested in the player, but the at least the later were put off by the player asking for his £45,000-a-week wage to be quadrupled as reported by Chronicle chief reporter Lee Ryder.

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has already admitted last month that the club would be “open” to selling the player this summer if the right offer was lodged.

He told Sky Sports: “If the right price, and that’s going to be expensive, is coming, then I’m sure the club will be open to it."

The Cameroonian forward had 20 goals and 7 assists in 38 Premier League games this season.
