Gunn is among 38 out-of-contract players taking part in the PFA pre-season training camp this week.
"Being out of contract this time of year, all the players are getting back to pre-season and this gives us the same opportunity to do that and get the fitness in so we're ready to go for wherever it will be," said Gunn.
"A lot of the teams go away and have a camp together, this is no different. You've got all the facilities here at Champneys. A good pitch, quality coaches and staff around - if anything it's even better.
"It's a great place to come, everyone is in the same position, so it's good to speak to the other lads and the staff.
"It's a little bit different than training on your own. It's definitely beneficial and gives you a good platform to go into pre-season somewhere."

Luke Le Roux arrives in England

Luke Le Roux arrives in England South African midfielder Luke Le Roux has officially signed with Portsmouth FC, a Championship (English second division) club, joining from IFK Värnamo (Sweden).

With this move, Le Roux becomes the second South African to join an English club this week, following defender Tylon Smith's signing with QPR. A robust presence in midfield, the Cape Town native will look to bring his tactical discipline and work rate to an ambitious Portsmouth side.

Joe Milton prefers playing for the Cowboys over the Patriots

After playing sparingly for the Patriots as a rookie last season, quarterback Joe Milton was traded to the Cowboys in April. He thinks he's in a better place now. Milton said at Cowboys training camp that he and his agent orchestrated the trade so he could get a fresh start. "Definitely, I preferred it," Milton said, via the Cowboys' website. "That was something me and my team put together. They were able to get it done, I really didn't have to do much or say much. So just shout out to my agent, that's pretty much it." Milton praised Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott for being a great teammate, and he suggested that wasn't the case in New England. "Dak is a great leader," Milton said. "All respect to him. He literally goes out of his way to help me, no matter if the coach is talking in the meeting, he literally goes out of his way to help. . . . I've been in another building. I know how that goes. It's just very different over here." Milton didn't mention either of the other two quarterbacks in New England last season, Drake Maye or Jacoby Brissett, by name, but he indicated that one of the things he prefers about Dallas is sharing a quarterback room with Prescott.

Euro 2025 final key battles as England seek revenge for Spain's World Cup win

England and Spain will do battle in a second consecutive major final at the European Women's Championship on Sunday. Spain got the better of Sarina Wiegman's side in the World Cup decider two years ago but England will be bidding to retain the trophy they won in 2022. Here, the PA news agency looks at the key contests on the pitch that could decide the match. Alessia Russo v Irene Paredes Spain have not conceded a goal in the knockout stages and have hugely experienced captain Paredes at the centre of their defence. They are undoubtedly a tough nut to crack but Germany showed in the semi-finals that a direct approach can cause them issues. Russo's only goal at the tournament so far came in the big group-stage win over Wales but her workrate and ability to lead the line make her a key player for England whether or not she is on the scoresheet. Paredes will not have fond memories of Russo's pressing in Arsenal's recent Champions League victory against Barcelona. Keira Walsh v Aitana Bonmati The midfield battle is likely to be key to deciding the outcome, and Spain have big hitters in Alexia Putellas and Bonmati, who has won the Ballon d'Or Feminin the last two years. Walsh knows the pair's strengths extremely well having spent two and a half years as team-mates of both at Barcelona. The technical ability of Spain's midfield means it would be a surprise if they do not dominate possession and Walsh may well have to sacrifice her own ball-playing ambitions to a degree to try to be a disruptor and help prevent England's defence coming under too much threat. Leah Williamson v Esther Gonzalez A big concern for Wiegman and England fans will be how shaky the defence has looked at times. While England have managed to dig themselves out of their self-made holes so far, similar generosity against Spain could see them heavily punished. England captain Williamson has a key role to play in marshalling the backline and in trying to blunt the danger of Spain striker Esther Gonzalez. The Gotham FC forward is the tournament's top goalscorer with four, although she has not yet found the net in the knockout stages.
