West Ham United are looking to pip Manchester United to the signing of a £25m defender after making an approach.

West Ham transfer rumours

The Irons haven’t had the season they would have been hoping for after splashing the cash in the summer under Julen Lopetegui. The Spaniard was dismissed at the beginning of 2025, with Graham Potter the new man in charge at the London Stadium.

The Hammers have 10 Premier League games remaining and are currently 16 points clear of safety and 16 points adrift of the top four.

As a result, attention behind the scenes is seemingly turning towards the summer transfer window ahead of Potter’s first full season in charge.

A number of players have been linked with moves to West Ham in recent weeks and a marquee forward signing appears to be high on the to-do list after Evan Ferguson’s loan spell from Brighton comes to an end.

Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike is once again a target for West Ham, whereas preliminary contact has been made over a deal to sign Tammy Abraham.

As well as attacking additions, new signings at the back could also be needed, and a new name has now emerged on the Irons’ transfer radar.

West Ham make contact to sign £25m defender

According to reports in Italy, relayed by Sport Witness, West Ham have made an approach over a move to sign Genoa defender Koni de Winter.

The Hammers have ‘asked for information’ over a deal to sign the Belgium international, as have top-flight rivals Man Utd and Tottenham Hotspur.

Genoa have reportedly set a €30m (£25m) asking price as they look to make a profit on De Winter, who they only signed permanently from Juventus last year.

Serie A sides Napoli and Roma are also keen on the 22-year-old, who can play as a centre-back, right-back or defensive midfielder. De Winter came through the academy at Juventus and has been called “gifted” by U23 scout Antonio Mango in the past.

A move to West Ham could therefore be one to watch for De Winter, who may end up rivalling the likes of Max Kilman, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Jean-Clair Todibo, should he make his loan deal permanent under Potter.

Solid stand between Billy Root, Eddie Byrom sees hosts to safety after early danger

ECB Reporters Network09-Apr-2023A Graeme van Buuren hundred led a brilliant Gloucestershire comeback in their LV= Insurance County Championship match against Glamorgan in Cardiff to secure a very creditable draw.Having trailed by 239 runs after the first innings, Gloucestershire made 569 for 7 in their second innings to set Glamorgan 331 to win.Three early wickets gave Gloucestershire a slim chance of pulling off the unlikeliest of wins, but a solid stand between Billy Root and Eddie Byrom saw the home side to safety at 110 for 3.The pitch in Cardiff continued to improve for the batters as the match wore on, with all the bowlers struggling to slow the scoring or claim wickets. The draw gives Glamorgan 12 points and Gloucestershire eight from this first-round match.Having started the day at 373 for 5, Gloucestershire still had work to do to make this game safe. Van Buuren resumed on 36 not out and brilliantly held things together on his way to his fifth first-class hundred for his county.With support from Ollie Price, Zafar Gohar, Jack Taylor and Tom Price, van Buuren guided his team well past 500. That took Gloucestershire into a position where the draw was the most likely result and they had a chance, albeit a remote one, of pulling off a remarkable comeback win.The real attacking intent came from Price, who backed up his excellent bowling performance in Glamorgan’s first innings with a 60-ball fifty. Given how this pitch just got better for batting as the match progressed, Gloucestershire were perhaps understandably cautious with their declaration. When it did come, they had set Glamorgan 331 runs to win in 46 overs.With the required rate starting at above seven runs an over it was always going to be a tough ask for Glamorgan to chase this down, but captain David Lloyd certainly showed some intent when he opened their second innings. He had made it to 6 from five balls when he scooped a ball into the leg side off Price that was caught on the deep square leg boundary by Marcus Harris.Looking to attack against the high-class spin of Zafar was more difficult. The Pakistani slow left-armer was once again given the new ball and he rewarded his captain with the wicket of Colin Ingram when he bowled him between bat and pad. That left Glamorgan at 35 for 2 with 38 overs left to be bowled.When Kiran Carlson poked at a ball from Price that was well taken on the second attempt by Jack Taylor at first slip, it left Glamorgan 38 for 3 at the tea break.With Gloucestershire now the team most likely to secure victory, they were impressive in the final session. Zafar was the most consistent threat, but Marchant de Lange was also beating the bat regularly. But the pitch won out in the end, with the two teams shaking hands for the draw with nine overs left unbowled.Glamorgan have a two-week wait until their next match against Durham, with Gloucestershire set to take on Yorkshire in Bristol on Thursday. Both teams will feel they have a lot of positives to take away from this game, especially given how the weather hampered pre-season preparations.

David Moyes arrived, and Beto stepped up.

Years of disappointment were washed away as the Scottish manager returned and restored Everton’s feel-good factor, narrowly losing his debut against Aston Villa but since taking the club on a seven-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, winning four.

Beto has been brilliant, clinching five goals from his past six matches. Hailed for his “resurgence” by The Athletic’s Patrick Boyland, Moyes has unlocked the powerful striker’s quality and then some.

With the ailing Dominic Calvert-Lewin approaching the end of his contract, Beto has the chance to throw down the gauntlet and challenge Everton’s 21st-century strikers for the top spot.

However, that would take some doing. Oftentimes, Romelu Lukaku was an unstoppable force at Goodison Park, and the Guinea-Bissau international would need quite the impact over the coming years to topple Wayne Rooney’s legacy.

Rooney's time under Moyes at Everton

It’s just not going to happen. No disrespect to Beto, but Rooney is one of the finest players of his generation, a five-time Premier League champion with Manchester United and one of the most prodigious teenagers in history when emerging at Everton.

Moyes was the man who ushered him through to the senior stage. Handed his senior debut in a 2-2 Premier League draw against Tottenham Hotspur in August 2002, a 16-year-old Rooney claimed an assist for Mark Pembridge, setting the stage for the most illustrious of careers.

However, two months later the teenage sensation truly announced himself with a thunderous goal against Arsenal, his first in the Premier League. It was late, it was great and it ended the Gunners’ 30-match unbeaten run.

He hit six goals across the 2002/03 campaign and settled into a more prominent role the next term, Moyes reaping the rewards of his young talent, who fired in nine goals from 26 starting appearances. His exploits piqued Sir Alex Ferguson’s interest – and that was that.

In August 2004, Manchester United signed Rooney, 18, from Everton in a deal worth £27m. Ferguson hailed the transfer, calling Rooney “the best young player this country has seen in the past 30 years.”

Moyes and his former protégé’s relationship soured after the sale. The Everton manager wanted Rooney to stay put, but he was arrested by the Red Devils’ approach and pushed for a departure.

The one-time Three Lions record scorer bowed out behind only Alan Shearer in the all-time Premier League scoring charts. Harry Kane has since overtaken him on both accounts but Rooney’s legacy is firmly intact.

He ended up returning to Everton, and finished his career with 117 Toffees appearances. However, the wide span of his prime years were played at the Theatre of Dreams, and now Moyes faces the risk of lightning striking twice with his next version of Rooney.

Clue; it’s not Beto.

Moyes' new Rooney at Everton

There’s just something about Moyes. He has that innate managerial gift to bring the best out of his players, giving rise to priceless self-belief.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

And though players like Beto are benefitting from this convergence, Moyes might actually find his new version of Rooney in Jarrad Branthwaite – who was already riding the crest of a personal wave before the Scottish manager arrived.

Everton signed Branthwaite, then 17, from Carlisle United in January 2020 for a small £1m fee, and he’s proved a bona fide success.

Now 22 years old, the 6 foot 5 star has been described as an “absolute monster” of a defender by talent scout Jacek Kulig, playing crucial roles in the Toffees’ first-team efforts over the past two years after a loan spell in Holland with PSV Eindhoven.

He’s operating at a high level and could now go from strength to strength with Moyes in the dugout. Everton’s progress in such a short time means, hopefully, the overall level will rise and solidify, allowing Branthwaite to foster his skills without the weight of a relegation battle on his back.

A young talent who has been regarded as a “pretty special” talent from the offing, as said here by Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher, could find themselves becoming a genuine Premier League superstar with Moyes at the wheel, Branthwaite indeed following Rooney’s path.

This comes with a caveat. How far down that road will Branthwaite walk?

Last summer, the England international, like a young Rooney, was at the centre of a transfer saga involving Manchester United, who had a vested interest in Everton’s Players’ Player of the Season for 2023/24 and launched a series of bids over to Merseyside.

Everton stood firm on their £75m valuation, something United were unable to match, but then Everton know their talent’s worth, know he’s among the top bracket of defenders.

But the interest is genuine and Branthwaite may follow Rooney’s footsteps down the line, with the record English league champions reportedly willing to reignite their long-standing interest.

Either way, Everton have extracted wonderful levels from this rising defensive star, and if he were to leave for Old Trafford, Moyes’ side would claim hefty recompense.

Branthwaite’s got the potential to become one of the leading centre-halves of his generation, and though he wasn’t born in Liverpool, he’s cut his teeth with Everton and now finds himself on United’s radar and under Moyes’ wing.

There are similarities, and though Everton could bank quite the pretty penny through his sale, maybe they’ll seek to change this narrative and keep Branthwaite as the defensive nucleus over the coming years.

Everton are on the up, and if they do keep such a player, it sends a firm statement of intent to the rest of the division – and maybe even over to the rest of the continent. We can dream.

Leeds United are looking to sign a “world-class” goalkeeper to replace Illan Meslier next season, according to a new report.

Leeds pushing for promotion with Meslier struggling

The Whites head into the final eight games of the Championship following the international break top of the table, however, there is still plenty of work to be done if they are to secure automatic promotion back to the Premier League.

Daniel Farke’s side have four home games against Swansea City, Preston North End, Stoke City and Bristol City, and away, Leeds have to travel to Luton Town, Middlesbrough, Oxford United and Plymouth Argyle.

One player who looks set to start all those games is Meslier, who has been backed by Farke all year, despite the Frenchman making some costly mistakes. Talking about the Frenchman’s errors in a 3-3 draw with Hull City at the start of the year, Farke said:

“When the goalkeeper makes one or two mistakes it is natural to talk about changes. We don’t change a goalkeeper quickly like a full-back. There is no rule that a player is not dropped. If a centre-back was to score loads of own goals he would be dropped. But straight after the game I am not going to finger point.”

Leeds looking to sign £25m goalkeeper compared to Pickford

According to Give Me Sport, Leeds will look to sign Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher this summer, should they win promotion.

The Reds goalkeeper is expected to cost around £25m and Leeds are eyeing the Republic of Ireland international ‘due to the uncertainty’ around Meslier.

Compared to Jordan Pickford by FbRef, Kelleher has interest from ‘a host of other clubs’, so it could be tricky for Leeds to seal a deal, even if they do go up.

An ambitious target, Kelleher previously came in for praise from Virgil van Dijk, who claimed the goalkeeper should have got the Player of the Match award following the Reds’ EFL Cup final win over Chelsea in 2024.

“He should have got it. I’m probably one of his biggest fans, I think. I have always said he is world class and he stepped up today, again. It’s good to see. He’s a good boy, good goalkeeper and that’s what we need at a club like Liverpool.”

ByRobbie Walls Mar 18, 2025

Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen look set to leave Old Trafford when their contracts expire, but there are many more expected to follow them out the exit door. High-profile departures may allow United to enter the market and bring in some high-performing players who fit into Amorim’s system. One player who appears to be a target for United is Barcelona winger Raphinha, as the Red Devils have already made a move to secure his services.

United are said to have tabled a £58 million offer to sign the Brazilian, who has 27 goals in 42 games in all competitions, as Amorim is keen for him to come to Old Trafford. The Premier League side are also in the market for a new centre-forward, and it’s been reported that United have made contact over a deal to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town.

The Tractor Boys look set to return to the Championship, and United, along with Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Chelsea, are interested in signing Delap. But despite their relegation, Ipswich are looking to get £50 million for their striker, which could potentially be an issue for the Red Devils.

£50m+ Man Utd ace open to leaving Old Trafford

For the Red Devils to sign someone like Delap, they may have to let a current forward leave, and according to reports in Italy, relayed by Man Utd News, Napoli have placed Man United’s Rasmus Hojlund at the top of their transfer list ahead of the summer transfer window.

The report states that the Italian side, managed by Antonio Conte, want to sign a striker in the summer, and Hojlund is one of the names they have under consideration. It goes on to add that the Denmark international would “gladly” return to Italy after he played for Atalanta before joining United.

Man United signed Hojlund for £63 million back in 2023, and if he were to leave in the summer, they would look to get £51 million for the striker, as that would allow them to avoid a loss in their financial books. However, that price could be a problem for Napoli, but despite that, they have held “first exploratory talks”, as they consider Hojlund as someone who could compete with current striker Romelu Lukaku at the top end of the pitch.

It’s safe to say that the 22-year-old has really struggled at Old Trafford this season, scoring just three goals in 24 Premier League games, his latest coming in the 3-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday.

Hojlund has performed better in the Europa League in this campaign, but it may still not enough for Amorim to be fully convinced he is the forward to lead the team. He is under contract until 2028, but his sale could be considered by everyone at United, as it may allow them to bring in a striker Amorim believes will suit his team and system better.

It’s not been a great week for Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta’s side fell to a poor 1-1 draw against Manchester United in the Premier League, and then, while it ultimately didn’t matter, a much-changed team drew 2-2 with PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

However, aside from going through to the competition’s quarter-finals, which was all but sewn up the first leg, there was some positive team news: Gabriel Martinelli made his second substitute appearance after missing about a month of football with a hamstring injury.

The Brazilian ace could play a big role for the Gunners in the closing stages of the season, but his place in the team may be less assured next year, as recent reports have linked the club with a potential upgrade.

Arsenal transfer news

According to a recent report from Bild, as relayed in a report from Spain, Arsenal are interested in Bayern Munich star Leroy Sané.

Transfer Focus

In fact, the report has revealed that it’s Arteta who is pushing hardest for the club to sign the German superstar once his €288k-per-week contract – about £243k – expires in the summer.

Now, the former Manchester City ace has expressed a desire to stay in Munich beyond the end of the season, but no progress has been made on a renewal, leaving the door wide open for the North Londoners and other sides.

While Sané won’t cost Arsenal a fee, he could be a costly addition to the wage bill, but given his immense ability and experience, he is one worth taking on, especially as he could be the perfect Martinelli upgrade.

How Sané compares to Martinelli

The first thing to say is that while Sané has the ability to play off either flank, he’d almost certainly come into the team primarily as an option off the left – his most played position – as with Bukayo Saka and now Ethan Nwaeri, the right seems totally locked down.

Therefore, the German’s primary long-term rival for game time at the Emirates would more likely than not be Martinelli, and for our money, that’s a competition he’d come out on top in.

For example, despite seeing his game time decrease at Bayern this term, the former Manchester City star has still been able to score eight goals and provide four assists in 34 appearances, totalling 1711 minutes.

That means the “world-class” winger, as dubbed by talent scout Jacek Kulig, is averaging a goal involvement every 2.83 games, or, more crucially, every 142.58 minutes.

In contrast, the former Ituano gem has scored seven goals and provided four assists in 37 appearances, totalling 2421 minutes, which comes out to an average of a goal involvement every 3.36 games, or every 220 minutes.

The one-sided nature of the comparison only continues when we take a look under the hood at their underlying numbers.

The Essen-born star comes out ahead in practically every relevant metric, including but not limited to actual and expected non-penalty goals plus assists, progressive passes, shots and shots on target, key passes, shot and goal-creating actions, successful take-ons and more, all per 90.

Ultimately, while Martinelli is a talented winger and someone who could still be an important squad player for Arsenal, it’s clear that Sane is the far better winger.

Therefore, Arteta and Co should do what they can to bring him to North London this summer.
