Lille in talks to sign Brest's Bradley Locko
Locko was one of the best left-backs in Ligue 1 during the 2023/24 campaign, however, he missed almost the entirety of the 2024/25 campaign after suffering an ACL injury in pre-season. Prior to that injury, he had been heavily linked with a move away from Brest. Nottingham Forest were notably keen on the France U21 international.
He could be on the move this time around. Whilst Brest are trying to extend his current deal, which expires in 2027, Lille have opened talks with the Breton club. Brest are asking for a fee of around €10m and Locko himself is open to a move to Les Dogues.

Newcastle 'make' improved offer for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško
Newcastle have submitted an improved second bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško according to the Athletic's David Ornstein. Their new bid is believed to be in the region of €80m up front, after an opening bid of €75m and €5m in add-ons was rejected by the Bundesliga club. The report states that the Slovenian forward is still wanted by Manchester United, but indications suggest there is an unwillingness to pay the same sum as the Magpies, which puts Eddie Howe's side in a strong position as things stand. Positive talks have also taken place between the clubs and the 22-year-old, but nothing is agreed yet and there is no guarantee of the outcome or the striker's preferred destination, with it still possible Šeško stays with Leipzig. Newcastle have signed only Anthony Elanga in a frustrating summer to date, with Alexander Isak returning to club training amid a desire to leave the club and serious interest from Premier League champions Liverpool. 📸 Maja Hitij - 2025 Getty Images
