Everton are considering a surprise move for Tottenham defender Djed Spence as David Moyes looks to strengthen at right-back. The 25-year-old wants regular Premier League minutes despite making 30 league appearances for Spurs last season.

Tottenham’s defensive rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi has increased competition, creating possible uncertainty around Spence’s role. Everton believe the chance of consistent starts at Goodison Park could tempt him, but still need to establish Tottenham’s valuation.

Newcastle United are closing in on a deal for 18-year-old Ajax midfielder Sean Steur as they reinvest after Sandro Tonali’s £100m move to Tottenham. The Ajax academy graduate has a contract running until 2028 now.

Ajax face pressure because Steur’s value could drop if he enters the final year of his deal next summer. Opta data marks him as one of the Eredivisie’s strongest teenage midfielders for chances created, carries and duels.

Callum Wilson is set to sign for Brentford after leaving West Ham at the end of last season. The 34-year-old free agent is in advanced talks, with the deal expected to be completed this week.

Wilson would bring Premier League experience and provide competition for Igor Thiago, who Brentford insist is not for sale. His arrival would also allow 19-year-old Belgian striker Kaye Furo to leave on loan next season.

Chelsea Women have tied Aggie Beever-Jones to a long-term contract until 2030. The 22-year-old homegrown forward has become a major first-team figure, with 97 appearances and 32 goals after joining the club aged just nine.

Beever-Jones said Chelsea has been her club since childhood and called the extension a proud day. The England international adds stability to Chelsea’s attack after helping deliver domestic trophies and earning a growing role with the Lionesses.

Spurs Complete £100m Tonali Signing

Monday

Tottenham have completed the signing of Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali in a club-record deal worth up to £100m. The Italy international joins for an initial £92.5m, with another £7.5m possible through add-ons this summer.

Tonali said only Tottenham seriously mattered after a long call with Roberto De Zerbi convinced him to join. Spurs can fund major spending through improved stadium revenue and squad-cost headroom, even after also buying Mateus Fernandes.

Newcastle Complete £43m Toure Signing

Newcastle have completed a £43m move for Hoffenheim forward Bazoumana Toure, adding a left-sided attacker after Anthony Gordon’s move to Barcelona. The 20-year-old Ivory Coast international joins after a rapid rise through Hammarby and Hoffenheim.

Newcastle needed attacking reinforcement after missing other targets and agreeing to sell Sandro Tonali to Tottenham. Toure brings speed, crossing and ball-winning energy, but Eddie Howe must develop his finishing, decision-making and Premier League adaptation.

Arsenal have reportedly agreed to sell Leandro Trossard to Besiktas for about £17m. The Belgium forward is set to leave north London after falling down the attacking order under Mikel Arteta this summer.

The move gives Besiktas an experienced Premier League attacker, while Arsenal free squad space and recover funds during a busy rebuild. Trossard’s exit would also continue the reshaping of Arsenal’s wide options before the new campaign.

Real Madrid have signed Netherlands full-back Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan on a four-year contract. The Spanish club reportedly activated his €20m release clause, making him their fourth summer signing under Jose Mourinho.

Dumfries adds right-sided depth and competition for Trent Alexander-Arnold after helping Inter win two Serie A titles and three Coppa Italia trophies. Madrid have moved quickly to rebuild defensive options after finishing last season trophyless.
