Here’s a roundup of the latest developments in the football transfer market and managerial updates:
Manchester City’s Summer Plans

With Viana’s arrival, City are expected to target key signings to bolster their already impressive squad.
Tottenham’s Midfield Target
Tottenham Hotspur are in a race to sign Lille’s 24-year-old midfielder Angel Gomes. The former Manchester United player has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United and his former club. Spurs are hoping to secure his signature to strengthen their midfield options.
Chelsea Eye Ipswich Striker Liam Delap
Chelsea are reportedly interested in Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap. The young forward, who joined Ipswich this summer from Manchester City, has impressed with his early-season performances. However, any potential move could be complicated by Manchester City’s buy-back clause, which might deter Chelsea’s pursuit.

Joshua Zirkzee, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Alejandro Garnacho, Amad Diallo, Harry Maguire, and Victor Lindelof are reportedly on the radar of other clubs. Joshua Zirkzee, in particular, faces scrutiny from senior figures at United following a poor return since his £36.5m summer move.
Lee Carsley’s England Ambitions
England Under-21 manager Lee Carsley has expressed his willingness to wait for the chance to lead the senior national team. Carsley, who has been linked with club management roles, hopes to succeed Thomas Tuchel as England manager after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Olof Mellberg Set for MLS Move
Former Sweden and Aston Villa defender Olof Mellberg is reportedly set to take over as manager of Major League Soccer side St. Louis City. Mellberg’s move to MLS could bring a wealth of experience to the league, as the club aims to establish itself as a competitive force.
