Report: Rangers star agrees terms on new deal, expected to sign extension
Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara is expected to sign the new deal he has already agreed terms on, according to The Athletic’s Jordan Campbell. The Finland international has just two years left on his current contract, but he is now set to pen an extension on improved terms. It hands Rangers a boost in their bid to hold on to Kamara, and that means a summer exit is ruled out.

Thomas Tuchel makes transfer decision on Hakim Ziyech amid AC Milan interest – report
AC Milan are unlikely to land Hakim Ziyech this summer with Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel deciding to keep him, Calciomercato reports. The Moroccan had a disappointing debut season with the Blues last term, and it appeared that he could be heading for the exit door this summer. The Rossoneri had planned a loan deal with an option to buy, and they are set to miss out on him after his promising pre-season with the Blues. Tuchel considers the attacker an integral part of his plans, and the Milan giants are likely to focus on landing Nikola Vlasic before the end of the month. Sportslens view: Ziyech joined the Blues with high expectations but struggled to impress in his maiden campaign with six assists and four goals from 39 outings. However, the 28-year-old shown genuine signs of returning to...

It was then suggested that the club are prioritising a move for a homegrown keeper, and they have eventually landed their ...
‘That’s right’ – Agent confirms Celtic are keen on signing 26-yr-old ace this summer
Celtic have been linked with a move for the Greek international forward Georgios Giakoumakis recently. It is no secret that the Hoops will have to bring in another goal scorer this summer regardless of whether Odsonne Edouard stays or leaves the club. Giakoumakis had an exceptional season in the Eredivisie last season but his club VVV Venlo have been relegated to the second tier and a player of his calibre deserves to play at a higher level. A move to Celtic would be the ideal step up in the 26 year old’s career right now and he will be able to showcase his potential at a bigger platform but the Scottish club. Furthermore, Celtic are likely to be playing in the Europa League this season and that could be great exposure for the 26 year old. The Greek forward scored 26 goals in the league la...

Report: Manchester City expected to make another bid to sign top summer target
Manchester City are not giving up on their chase to sign Harry Kane, according to reports from The Telegraph. City’s bid for Kane amounts to £125 million in total – not the £100m that has been previously reported elsewhere. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is not looking to sell Kane this summer and is not even receiving phone calls about the potential transfer of the Spurs striker. City are ready to make ‘one final push’ to sign Kane. It will be interesting to see if the offer is around £150m, which would be a British transfer record signing if accepted. However, doubts remain about whether Levy will accept any offer at the moment as he might feel City have left it too late to complete such a high-profile transfer. Talks have currently stalled between the two clubs, and there is no indicat...
