Dan Ndoye (Bologna)
April 2025 (summer transfer planning)
United are preparing a €30m bid for Bologna winger Dan Ndoye and hope Zirkzee’s friendship with the Swiss star will sway his decision amid Napoli’s interest.
Zirkzee, though uncertain at United himself, could be key to persuading Ndoye, who’s had a productive season with 8 goals and 3 assists in 26 games.
Chris Rigg, Sunderland
26 March 2025
West Ham have surged ahead of Tottenham in the race to sign 17-year-old Sunderland sensation Chris Rigg.
Internal talks are already underway at West Ham. They’re also targeting Lille midfielder Angel Gomes, who will be a free agent this summer. However, Gomes has yet to accept the Hammers’ offer of £100,000 per week.
Tom Dele-Bashiru (Watford)
July 2025
Parma are negotiating a deal to sign Watford midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru, who has told his club he wants to leave this summer.
Watford are open to selling but only at the right price. Dele-Bashiru has one year left on his deal, with an option to extend by another year.
Leeds United
August 2025
Leeds are monitoring Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz, with Mehdi Taremi and Josh Sargent also on their list. Boss Daniel Farke says the team is “not ready” offensively for the Premier League and needs quality reinforcements to avoid relegation. Atalanta also want Muniz.
Nestory Irankunda (Bayern Munich > Watford)
July 2025
Watford have completed the signing of 19-year-old Australia international Nestory Irankunda from Bayern Munich for £2.5m. He has signed a five-year deal with the Championship club, strengthening their attack ahead of the new season.
Bayern included a 50% sell-on clause and buyback option in the deal. Irankunda has already met coach Paulo Pezzolano and his new teammates at Watford’s training ground earlier this week.
Michail Antonio, West Ham United
Recovery ongoing, expected return within 6-12 months
Antonio insists he will play professional football again after suffering a shattered leg in a December car crash.
The 34-year-old is ahead of schedule in his recovery, working six days a week to regain fitness. He remains determined to return despite the severity of his injuries.
Daniel Cummings (Celtic > West Ham)
Transfer effective July 1, 2025
West Ham have completed a deal for Celtic striker Daniel Cummings, who passed a medical and signed a four-year contract starting this summer.
Cummings agreed a pre-contract in February and impressed with 23 goals in 28 appearances for Celtic B. He joins West Ham to reinforce their attacking depth.
Crystal Palace
January 2026
Palace’s planned £50m move for Strand Larsen is reportedly close to collapsing, despite an agreed framework, with Palace signalling they could pull out. Wolves are not under pressure to sell and cite the striker’s attitude and focus; Strand Larsen’s output has dropped this season amid Wolves being bottom, which is part of the risk profile for Palace’s spend.
Ayden Heaven
December 2025
Gary Neville praised 19-year-old defender Ayden Heaven for an outstanding Player of the Match performance against Newcastle, highlighting his aerial dominance and composure, but criticised Ruben Amorim’s second-half substitutions for destabilising United’s shape as they clung on to Patrick Dorgu’s volleyed winner. Neville lauded Heaven’s mentality after earlier struggles versus West Ham and Bournemouth, yet argued that withdrawing Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw for Tyler Fredricson and long-exiled Tyrell Malacia invited pressure, branding the late in-game configuration “bizarre” even though United ultimately ground out the result.
Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray)
April 2025
Juventus have identified Victor Osimhen as their top summer target, with sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli set to begin work on a deal.
Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has a €75m release clause. Juventus are frontrunners but face strong competition due to the striker’s high demand.
