    Wales defender Tom Lockyer has signed for Australian A-League side Melbourne Victory on a free transfer after leaving Bristol Rovers. The 31-year-old continues his career abroad after returning from nearly two years out following cardiac arrest.

    Lockyer made his comeback with Bristol Rovers last October and played 16 League Two games after being cleared to return. The former Luton captain said Melbourne offers a fresh challenge as he keeps alive hopes of another Wales call-up.

    Manchester United have turned to Roma midfielder Manu Kone after their Ederson deal with Atalanta collapsed. Reports say Roma want more than £45m for the France international, who has become United’s primary midfield target this summer.

    United had agreed terms for Ederson but pulled out after additional medical checks, creating another recruitment setback. The switch to Kone reflects their urgent midfield need after missing Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes, though Roma’s valuation remains a major obstacle.

    Burnley have appointed Genk boss Nicky Hayen as their new head coach on a three-year deal. The Belgian replaces Scott Parker, who left after Burnley were relegated from the Premier League at the end of April.

    Burnley moved to Hayen after approaches involving Craig Bellamy and Rob Edwards did not work out. Chairman Alan Pace said the appointment fits a sustainable football model, with Hayen joining the squad on their United States pre-season tour.

    Manchester City have signed England defender Niamh Charles from Chelsea for £500,000 on a three-year deal. The 27-year-old leaves Stamford Bridge after six years, 173 appearances and multiple domestic trophies with the WSL rivals.

    Charles strengthens City’s defence after Leila Ouahabi’s exit and adds Champions League experience to the WSL champions. The move also gives her a clearer route to regular football before next year’s World Cup with England.

    After Argentina’s World Cup win over Egypt

    Argentina’s football association says it may have suffered unauthorised access after emails from official accounts reportedly criticised refereeing in the 3-2 win over Egypt. Messages described the result as corrupt and praised Egypt’s performance.

    The AFA told recipients to ignore unusual messages, especially those containing links or attachments, while its IT team investigates. The cyber incident adds another layer to the officiating row after Egypt complained formally to FIFA.

    Manchester United’s £35m move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson is in doubt after medical tests reportedly showed an issue. One source told BBC Sport the deal is off, although both clubs deny any final decision has been made.

    United had planned to complete the transfer after Brazil’s World Cup exit, but there has been no progress since. The uncertainty adds pressure after United missed out on Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes before agreeing other midfield moves.
