Wolves are “talking” with a “very good” Spain international over a summer move to Molineux, according to a fresh update from journalist Graeme Bailey.
Wolves planning for friendly as Fosun chase signings
Wanderers host Celta Vigo in a pre-season friendly this weekend, as they continue to prepare for their return to Premier League action, with the opener at home to Manchester City edging closer all the time.
Having lost 2-1 away to Girona last Sunday, a return to winning ways would be a welcome boost for Wolves, but Vitor Pereira will know that fitness and tactical work are more important than any result in the summer games.
Wolverhampton Wanderers managerVitorPereiracelebrates after the match
The Wanderers boss will also know that further reinforcements are needed in his squad in the final three weeks or so of the summer transfer window, with a host of names linked in recent days.
Wolves have reportedly made contact with Borussia Dortmund ace Julian Ryerson, who is capable of thriving as a right-back and a wing-back, perhaps being seen as a strong replacement option for Nelson Semedo. Meanwhile, Liverpool winger Ben Doak is also said to be a target, with the Reds potentially sanctioning his exit this summer.
Wolves "talking" with Spain defender over move
Now, speaking to Molineux News, Bailey has talked up the idea of Wolves signing Celta and Spain defender Oscar Mingueza this summer, mentioning talks taking place after being a target for two Premier League clubs back in January.
“I know they’re talking. Oscar Mingueza they quite like at Celta Vigo. He was on the radar of West Ham and Villa in January. The problem is, with him, is that they’re trying to give him a new contract, so that’s not going to be easy. We’ll see where that one goes.”

Mingueza is a top-quality player who has now won four caps for European champions Spain, proving to be a strong potential long-term successor to Dani Carvajal at right-back.

The 26-year-old has also made a combined 166 appearances for Celta and Barcelona, with scout Jacek Kulig hailing him as “very good” in the past.
Mingueza has been a highly-rated player for some, as the above post from Kulig outlines, but at 26, Wolves would be signing a player at the peak of his powers, rather than a young player who may take time to hit the ground running.
The Spaniard bagged four goals and six assists in La Liga last season, showing the quality he can offer in the attacking third, and he would help fill the void left by the departed Semedo.
Everton are readying themselves to bring in more arrivals under David Moyes and have now made an approach for a new striker, according to a report.
Everton plotting to make more signings
Continuing their pre-season preparations, the Toffees suffered a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park ahead of their trip to the United States for the Premier League Summer Series.
Reacting after a disappointing day at the office, new signing Mark Travers believes his side will become stronger over the coming weeks once fitness is restored at Finch Farm.

He stated: “It’s really good to get 90 minutes under my belt. I’d say it’s a disappointing result, but we’re still early in pre-season. The lads are just getting their fitness levels up. I’m really excited to get my first game early in pre-season and I’m looking forward to the rest of pre-season now.”
Of course, part of the improvement to come will take shape in the form of signings at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and Everton have entered the race to sign Celtic forward Daizen Maeda following his 33-goal return last season.
However, Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford and West Ham United are also keen on the Japan international, who could become a new addition to their forward line after Thierno Barry arrived from Villarreal.

Meanwhile, Douglas Luiz and Conor Gallagher may strengthen the Toffees’ midfield. Respectively, Juventus and Atletico Madrid could be tempted by the prospect of selling either player for considerable financial gain.
Right now, it still feels like the Friedkin Group have plenty of work to do in a transitional summer, but Everton may feel they could have gained an edge in the hunt for another striker signing.
Everton make approach for Rangers star Hamza Igamane
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri on X, Everton have made an approach for Rangers striker Hamza Igamane by means of an enquiry. At the same time, Feyenoord and Udinese have also emerged as suitors for the Morocco international.
LOSC Lille appeared in pole position to bring him to France. However, their deal with the Scottish Premiership outfit is now on hold after struggling to find a breakthrough in negotiations despite already agreeing personal terms.
Last term, the 22-year-old scored 16 times in 46 appearances across all competitions, leading to Derek Ferguson labelling him “brilliant” after an effort in a 3-0 win away at Ross County.
Everton appear like they are looking to take a foothold in the race for his signature, but any movement may depend on whether Rangers are willing to budge from their £17 million valuation of Igamane, which has been widely reported.

Celtic are set for a very busy summer in the transfer market.
Kieran Tierney is back, re-joining the club six years after leaving, and supporters cannot wait to see one of their favourite players back in green and white hoops again.
Now, could Brendan Rodgers be about to add further defensive reinforcements?
Celtic targeting a new defender
The Hoops are very active in the market at the moment with a move for Swedish star, Benjamin Nygren, all but confirmed.
So, who’s the Hoops’ next target?
Well, according to a report by Anthony Joseph of Sky Sports, Celtic “are in talks” with J League club Albirex Niigata over the possibility of signing Hayato Inamura.
He describes the 23-year-old as a “left-footed centre-back” who is also capable of playing at left-back.
Inamure came through Japan’s college system, representing Maebashi Ikuei High School and then Toyo University, before joining Albirex Niigata a year ago, making 33 appearances to date for the side currently in the J League relegation zone.
So, could he become the latest Japanese player to call Parkhead home?
How Inamura could replicate Celtic's Japanese heroes
As the table below outlines, Celtic have a rich tradition when it comes to Japanese players, many of whom have enjoyed massive success.

Of course, the vast majority of the Japanese players Celtic have had were signed by Ange Postecoglou, but this tradition goes back to Shunsuke Nakamura in the mid-2000s, who certainly made a huge impact, described by Tom Hancock of Four Four Two Magazine as one of the best free-kick takers of all time.
In the more modern era, few Celtic players of any nationality have been as impressive as Reo Hatate, making 142 appearances in hoops to date, scoring 27 goals and providing 28 assists, winning eight major trophies.
Manager Rodgers described the midfielder as “top class”, adding that he has been “absolutely brilliant” since the boss re-joined the club in 2023.
Meantime, Martin Crawford of Breaking the Lines labelled him the ‘best player in Scotland’, describing Hatate as a ‘complete, elegant talent’.
Signed for just £1.4m, these performances have seen the midfielder’s valuation skyrocket, with Transfermarkt estimating he is worth around £10m, hence why the Celts’ actually rejecting a £10m bid for Hatate from a Ligue 1 club last summer, according to The National.
While no fee is currently known for Inamura, the club would surely hope he could make a similar impact in Glasgow, which would result in a similar exponential increase in value.
Analyst and scout Will Glavin describes Inamura as “tactically intelligent…composed and comfortable building from the back”, praising his defensive discipline and “positional awareness”, concluding that this deal is a “smart, low-risk investment”. That’s certainly true of the deal to bring Hatate to the club all those years ago under Postecoglou. It was low-risk and he’ll undoubtedly pay the club back when he leaves.
Stephen McGowan of the Herald outlines how he will provide competition for Auston Trusty and Liam Scales, seeking to start as the left-sided centre-half, while also able to cover at left-back when Tierney requires a breather.
So, this once again appears to be a sensible signing from Celtic and, even though Inamura is very inexperienced, this does not mean he cannot be the club’s latest Japanese superstar.
Their new Liel Abada: Celtic on the verge of signing "fearless" star
Celtic are reportedly set to complete their first signing of the summer, so here’s why their “fearless” new winger could be a Liel Abada repeat?
Liverpool are making bold moves on the market and could offset some of their early ventures by selling one of their rising stars, according to David Ornstein.
Liverpool seeing plenty of movement in both directions
Arne Slot is the man in charge at Anfield and is already a hero among supporters, and his stock is only likely to have risen recently given the Reds have signed Jeremie Frimpong and more arrivals are expected to follow.
Florian Wirtz is next in line, putting pen to paper on a deal until 2030 that will generate plenty of headlines around Merseyside.
Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is also on his way to Liverpool, and it shouldn’t be too long before the Hungarian international becomes the latest shiny new addition to be rolled out at Anfield.
Marc Guehi’s contract situation at Crystal Palace has put the Reds on alert, and there could now be potential for further activity to unfold if the England international is open to joining the red half of Merseyside amid alternative interest from Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.

ByAngus Sinclair Jun 19, 2025
Streamlining a squad that deserved every element of their success last term isn’t always easy, but Slot doesn’t appear to be someone fond of sentiment in any way, shape or form.
In light of this, Liverpool are now closing in on an agreement that would see one of their stars head to Germany this summer.
Ornstein: Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah set for Bayer Leverkusen
According to Ornstein, Jarell Quansah is close to agreeing a move to Bayer Leverkusen from Liverpool on a deal that could be worth in excess of £34 million.
Personal terms aren’t expected to be an issue, and despite no formal bid being in play yet, all parties are ‘progressing’ in their mission to get a deal done.
Labelled “amazing” by teammate Alexis Mac Allister, Quansah made 25 appearances last campaign as the Reds stormed to the Premier League title, though an exit may now be the best course of action for his career.
Coming in as a pure profit sale, the 22-year-old’s departure is likely to be heralded as smart business from FSG, even if it will bring his 17-year association with the club to an end if he were to exit.
One of the oldest and most bitter rivalries in English football is between Chelsea and Arsenal. It is fair to say that there is no love lost between the two clubs, who hail from West London in Chelsea’s case, and North London for the Gunners.
Naturally, over the years, there have been players who have represented both clubs. One of those is currently playing at the Emirates Stadium, specifically Raheem Sterling, who is on loan from Chelsea. Perhaps the two biggest names are Ashley Cole and Cesc Fabregas, both of whom played first for the Gunners and then for the Blues.
Interestingly, the top-flight pair are battling it out to sign the same player this summer, rather than one man featuring for both, reigniting the rivalry off the pitch once more.
The player Chelsea want to sign ahead of Arsenal
There are plenty of good market opportunities this summer for players who are out of contract. One of the most prominent examples is Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will leave Liverpool on a free and is set to join Real Madrid.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
Well, Chelsea are set to go head to head with Arsenal to sign Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane. According to reports from Sky in Germany, the Blues are one of the clubs ‘ready for the winger’ this summer, if he doesn’t sign a new deal at the Bundesliga champions.
They seem to be ahead of the Gunners in the race, who are thought to have ‘distanced’ themselves from the move, instead targeting a younger winger.
Leroy Sane for Bayern Munich
As for Chelsea, the report suggests that ‘much depends on qualification for the Champions League’, but if they secure that, they have an excellent shot at bringing Sane to the club.
Why Sane could be another Sterling
29-year-old Sane is certainly no stranger to the Premier League. He has featured in the English top flight before as a Manchester City player, scoring 25 goals and grabbing 30 assists in 95 appearances. In total, he played three seasons and won the Premier League twice.
If he can replicate at Stamford Bridge what he did at the Etihad Stadium, Chelsea fans would surely be delighted. Sane was a chance creation machine.
Across his three full Premier League seasons at the club, he averaged 1.8 key passes per game in 2016/17, followed by 2.2 in 2017/18 and 1.9 in 2018/19, according to Sofascore.

Stats from Sofascore
Yet, as time has gone by, the winger has not quite had the same impact at Bayern as he did at City. Across all competitions for the newly crowned Bundesliga champions this term, he’s managed 13 goals and six assists in 45 games.
Whilst there has been a level of consistency in the top division of German football, with 11 goals and six assists, Sane struggled in the Champions League. In 13 appearances, the Schalke academy graduate scored once and didn’t register an assist, with his goal coming in a 9-2 thrashing over Dinamo Zagreb.
With that inconsistency creeping in, perhaps there is a worry that Sane will struggle at Chelsea just as Sterling did. There are certainly similarities between the pair, given they both played for Man City in one of the most successful sides in Premier League history.
However, for Chelsea, Sterling wasn’t really as effective. He scored 19 goals and grabbed 15 assists in 81 games for the West Londoners, and never really played a consistent role in the side, constantly floating around different positions on the pitch.
There were some highlights, however, including this strike against Luton Town last season.
Perhaps these deals are just too similar for Chelsea. With Sterling a high earner, on £325k per week at Stamford Bridge last season, and Sane on roughly the same at Bayern, £323k per week as per Capology, it would also save the Blues some money.
However, he can be a “superstar” on his day, as football scout Antonio Mango described him, and there is no doubt about his quality. Perhaps Chelsea are willing to take the bet that Sane will be able to replicate his incredible output last time he played in the Premier League.

Burnley are fighting for promotion to the Premier League and Scott Parker has wasted no time in profiling targets ahead of the summer window, per reports.
Burnley edge ahead of Championship title rivals
Following a chaotic afternoon of Championship action, Burnley emerged at the summit following a vital 2-1 victory over Coventry City on Saturday courtesy of a double from Jaidon Anthony.
Sheffield United’s unexpected slip-up at Oxford United and Leeds United’s dropped points on their visit to Luton Town have played into the Clarets’ hands, with promotion specialist Scott Parker licking his lips at the remaining fixture schedule.
Nevertheless, Burnley also have an eye on next season and potential recruits once the window opens for business. Per reports, out-of-contract Rangers midfielder Tom Lawrence could move to Turf Moor on a free transfer.
Despite the Clarets’ appeal as a serious promotion candidate, West Bromwich Albion, Middlesbrough, Coventry City and Wrexham are among other destinations on the table for the Wales international.

On the same token, West Brom star Grady Diangana is on Burnley’s radar and they have been urged to put forward a proposal for the versatile attacker by David Prutton.
Ultimately, any concrete information on high-profile targets will need to wait until the summer. Parker’s men are in a good position with the end of the campaign near, but there is plenty of work to do before celebratory champagne can be cracked open at Turf Moor.
Either way, Burnley are making tracks to lure a rising EFL star to Lancashire despite competition from Premier League clubs for his signature, per recent developments.
According to reliable reporter Alan Nixon via The 72, Burnley are eyeing a move to sign Bristol Rovers midfielder Kofi Shaw alongside Premier League duo Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford.
Born in 2006, the 18-year-old has made ten appearances for the Gas this campaign, while his loan spell at Yeovil Town earlier on yielded two goals and an assist.

The trio are battling for promotion to the Premier League and also a star who is available on the market.
BySean Markus Clifford Apr 3, 2025
Versatile by nature, the youngster is capable of playing across various roles in the engine room, on either flank or as a foil for the main striker.
Labelled “a clever player” by boss Inigo Calderon, he would likely be deemed as one for the future at Turf Moor, but stockpiling homegrown talent for years to come is a strategy that could save millions down the line if worked correctly.
It remains to be seen the sort of fee he would be available for if Burnley do follow up on their initial interest. One imagines he could be attainable for a relatively inexpensive fee, though only time will tell if a deal is to come to fruition.
