Aston Villa have secured the signing of 19-year-old centre-back Modou Keba Cisse from Austrian club LASK on a pre-contract agreement. The Senegal-born defender will officially join Villa next summer for a reported £4 million fee, making him one of LASK's most valuable departures. Cisse, who began his career at Real Avila in Spain, made 10 Austrian Bundesliga appearances last season and is regarded as a promising talent.

19.7.25 Leeds: Transfers

Leeds United have signed midfielder Sean Longstaff from Newcastle for £12 million plus add-ons. The 27-year-old ends his 18-year spell at Newcastle and signs a four-year deal with Leeds. Longstaff, who made 214 appearances for the Magpies but saw limited action last season, said he was drawn by Leeds' strong interest and passionate fanbase.

19.7.25 Tottenham: Injuries

Tottenham star Dejan Kulusevski will miss the start of the 2025-26 Premier League season as he continues recovering from knee surgery undergone in May. Head coach Thomas Frank confirmed Kulusevski won't be fit for Spurs' August 16 opener against Burnley but declined to give a return timeline. The 25-year-old has not joined preseason training and will miss upcoming friendlies against Reading, Luton, and the club's tour of Hong Kong and South Korea.

19.7.25 Arsenal: Transfers

Arsenal have signed Chelsea forward Noni Madueke in a deal worth £48 million, potentially rising to £52 million with add-ons. The 23-year-old England international has signed a five-year contract through 2030 and becomes Mikel Arteta's fourth summer signing. Madueke will compete with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in Arsenal's wide positions.

19.7.25 Manchester United: Transfers

Manchester United have agreed to sign Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo in a deal worth £71 million, with £65m paid up front and £6m in add-ons. The 25-year-old, who scored 20 Premier League goals last season, becomes United's third summer signing under Ruben Amorim. The transfer marks a major profit for Brentford, who signed Mbeumo for just £5.8m in 2019.

14.7.25 Chelsea: Injuries

Chelsea claimed a dominant 3-0 victory over ten-man PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup final, but the win was slightly marred by an apparent hamstring injury to midfielder Enzo Fernandez. The Argentine limped off around the hour mark and was replaced by Andrey Santos as a precaution. Despite the setback, Fernandez was seen celebrating with teammates after the final whistle. The severity of Fernandez's injury remains unclear.

13.7.25 Chelsea: Injuries

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo is expected to feature in Sunday's FIFA Club World Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain after recovering quickly from an ankle injury sustained in the semi-final win over Fluminense. The Ecuadorian resumed training just days after the knock, and manager Enzo Maresca remains optimistic about his availability despite the midfielder not completing a full session.

13.7.25 Manchester United: Injuries

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana will miss the club's pre-season tour of the United States due to a hamstring injury. Although the 29-year-old Cameroon international is responding well to treatment and will travel with the team later this month, he will focus on recovery and won't play in the Premier League Summer Series. Altay Bayindir is expected to start in Onana's absence.
