Takehiro Tomiyasu (Arsenal)
July 2025
Takehiro Tomiyasu says his Arsenal exit was a mutual decision, allowing him to focus on personal rehabilitation after a difficult injury-plagued season where he played only five minutes in 2024-25.
Tomiyasu revealed to DAZN Japan that he and the club agreed it was best for both sides to part ways. He cited stress, long-term injury, and lack of game time as key factors behind the decision.
Nuno Espírito Santo (Nottingham Forest)
June 2025
Nottingham Forest have extended manager Nuno Espírito Santo’s contract until 2028 after guiding the club to seventh place in the Premier League and securing European football for the first time since 1995–96.
Despite narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification after a late-season dip, Forest’s highest league finish in 30 years and an FA Cup semifinal earned Nuno full backing from owner Evangelos Marinakis for long-term continuity.
Mykhailo Mudryk (Chelsea)
June 2025
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca confirmed the club’s plan to sign a new winger this summer remains unchanged, despite Mudryk’s potential four-year ban following a positive doping test for the banned substance meldonium.
Mudryk, suspended since November, recently had his ‘B’ sample also test positive. Maresca emphasized the team had already played most of last season without him and needs proper wingers regardless, having also bid for Jamie Gittens.
Manchester City
June 2025
Manchester City have been fined £1.08 million by the Premier League for breaching rules regarding delayed kickoffs and restarts across nine matches during the 2024–25 season, marking their second such fine in consecutive years.
The league cited delays in matches against West Ham, Spurs, and Man United, among others, with some exceeding two minutes. City accepted the ruling, apologized, and said players and staff have been reminded to strictly follow match timing regulations.
Chris Wilder > Rubén Sellés (Sheffield United)
June 2025
Sheffield United have appointed Rubén Sellés as manager on a three-year deal, shortly after parting ways with Chris Wilder by mutual consent.
Sellés, recently sacked by Hull City despite avoiding relegation, brings Championship experience and a track record of stabilizing clubs. He previously managed Reading and Southampton.
Tottenham Hotspur
June 2025
Tottenham have appointed former Brentford boss Thomas Frank as head coach until 2028, replacing Ange Postecoglou just one week after he led Spurs to a Europa League title—ending the club’s 17-year trophy drought.
Despite winning the Europa League, Postecoglou was dismissed over internal disagreements about long-term strategy, playing style conflicts with senior players, and fractured communication with the board—prompting Spurs to pursue the tactically steady Thomas Frank.
Woody Johnson, Crystal Palace
June 2025
NFL’s Woody Johnson is in talks to buy a £200m stake in Crystal Palace, potentially resolving UEFA multiclub ownership concerns blocking their Europa League participation due to John Textor’s simultaneous stake in Lyon.
Palace’s Europa League status is at risk because of Textor’s failure to resolve dual ownership issues before the March deadline. Johnson is now leading takeover talks to buy Textor’s 43% stake and become Palace’s new majority owner.
Harvey Elliott (Liverpool)
June 2025
Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott, 22, says he may consider leaving the club to avoid “wasting years” of his career after starting only two Premier League games during the title-winning campaign.
Despite loving the club, Elliott admits he needs regular minutes to develop further. His Champions League winner against PSG wasn’t enough to secure more playing time, leaving his future in limbo.
