Juventus have resumed contacts for Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after talks for Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez collapsed on Sunday night.
It took Morgan Rogers only seven minutes to score his first goal in a Chelsea shirt in Saturday's 3-1 friendly win over Real Sociedad as he reacted quickest after Alex Remiro saved Joao Pedro's initial header. The £117m club record signing from Aston Villa initially looked sharp and linked well with Cole Palmer and Pedro in Chelsea's front three. Beyond Rogers, Joao Pedro has been the star of Chelsea's pre-season.
Celtic decided not to bring left-back Greg Taylor to the club this summer, even on a loan deal from PAOK Salonika. The post ‘Even On Loan’ – Celtic Passed Up On Signing Star appeared first on Inside Futbol | Latest Football News, Transfer Rumours & Articles.
Joaquin Seys is valued at £30m by Club Brugge (Photo: Getty) Club Brugge manager Ivan Leko admits he is ‘proud’ to see Joaquin Seys linked with a big money transfer to Manchester United and Arsenal. And Leko has conceded that it would be ‘hard to say no’ to selling his star defender this summer, if the right offer was made. Seys has been tipped to move to the Premier League following an excellent 2025/26 season, in which he won the Belgium Pro League and reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Porto and Benfica have also been linked with the highly-rated 21-year-old who is valued at £30million by Brugge.

Signing a new left-back is now Man Utd’s top priority until the end of the transfer window, though Flemish outlet Het Nieuwsblad claim that they are yet to make a formal approach for the player. With Patrick Dorgu now viewed as a winger by Michael Carrick, Luke Shaw is the only natural left-back in the squad and surely cannot be relied upon for a full season with Champions League football given his injury history. After selling Christos Tzolis to Arsenal for £34m earlier this summer, do not want to lose anymore of their prized assets including Seys and Barcelona target Nicolò Tresoldi. Seys impressed at th World Cup for Belgium (Photo: Getty) Nevertheless, Leko is happy to see his players linked with Europe’s top club, admitting as much in an interview ahead of Brugge’s 3-0 win over Oud-Heverlee Leuven on Saturday. ‘In fact, I’m proud that my guys are being linked to those clubs,’ he said. ‘We chat about it every now and then. How much of those rumours is true? I don’t know. But we all have eyes in our heads: their potential is incredible. Seys was in action for Club Brugge over the weekend (Photo: Getty) ‘On the other hand, they remain consummate professionals and are happy here. The focus is entirely on OHL.’ Leko previously claimed Seys was destined to play at the top of the Premier League and believes there is a chance he will move on before deadline day. ‘If there’s a lot of money on the table, it’s obviously not easy to say no,’ He added. ‘The board’s aim is still to build a team that’s even better than last season. ‘The right time to leave will come. Tzolis has proved that. Let’s hope they’re all still here in September.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Samuel Barrott has been assigned as the referee to officiate the 2026 FA Community Shield Final between Arsenal and Manchester City. Arsenal and Manchester City are set to face off on Sunday, August 16, in the FA Community Shield final with the first hardware of the 2026-27 season on the line. With all procedural details finalized, match officials have officially been appointed for the clash at Principality Stadium. The match referee tasked with officiating the 2026 Community Shield is Samuel Barrott. The 33-year-old official has made a rapid rise through the English ranks, taking charge of Premier League fixtures since 2024 and joining the official FIFA refereeing list in 2025. The 2026 Community Shield will mark the third major final of Barrott’s career. The English referee previously officiated the 2023-24 EFL League One Playoff Final between Bolton Wanderers and Oxford United (a 2-0 Oxford victory), and most recently handled the UEFA U19 EURO Final between Spain and Germany (a 2-0 win for Spain). Barrott will lead the crew on the pitch alongside assistant referees Craig Taylor and Blake Antrobus, with Farai Hallam serving as the fourth official on the touchline. The Community Shield final will feature full VAR implementation, led by lead VAR official James Bell and assistant VAR Tim Wood.

Since then, he has overseen several high-profile matches involving both Man City and Arsenal across top-flight English soccer and domestic cup competitions. When overseeing the Citizens, Barrott has officiated six matches, including four in the Premier League, one in the Carabao Cup, and one in the FA Cup. His most recent Man City fixture was an FA Cup round of 16 clash against Newcastle United, which ended in a 3-1 victory for Pep Guardiola’s side. In those six matches under Barrott, Man City hold a 4-2 record while outscoring opponents 16-6. Arsenal hold an even stronger mark under Barrott’s whistle, boasting nine wins and just one defeat across 10 matches. However, that single loss came in a major fixture, the 2025-26 FA Cup quarterfinal, where second-tier Southampton eliminated the Gunners 2-1. His most recent Arsenal match was a Premier League tilt that ended in a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United.
