Transfer news live: Spurs' Gibbs-White saga takes explosive twist, Gyokeres on strike, Arsenal agree Madueke
The summer transfer window rolls on as Premier League clubs and those around Europe look to add to their squads. Arsenal 's negotiations for Sporting 's Viktor Gyokeres have stalled over a difference in overall value and terms. However, Gyokeres appears to be taking action over the impasse, with the Sweden striker having refused to show up to Sporting training, while Arsenal have also been busy in agreeing a deal for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke. Tottenham have been busy and have aggressively backed new manager Thomas Frank with a deal for West Ham's Mohammed Kudu s, but despite triggering the release clause for Morgan Gibbs-White, Nottingham Forest are now considering legal action over what they believe to be an illegal approach. Manchester United secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m early in this window but a subsequent deal for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo has been slow to develop, while the likes of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho remain at the club despite pushing for a fresh start this summer. Jordan Henderson set to join Brentford as free agent Jordan Henderson is set to return to England by signing for Brentford on a free transfer. The former Liverpool captain left Ajax after deciding not to trigger a 12-month extension to his contract with the Dutch club. And Brentford have moved for the 35-year-old as they look for a replacement for Christian Norgaard, who has joined Arsenal. Henderson, who is likely to sign a two-year contract, is expected to have a medical before completing his move to Brentford, which he hopes will enable him to keep his place in the England squad for next summer's World Cup. The midfielder, who has won 84 caps, was recalled by new England manager Thomas Tuchel, who values his experience.

As first reported by the Guardian, the Gunners have beat competition from several clubs - including Women's Super League champions Chelsea - to sign the 20-year-old Canada international. Smith became Liverpool's record signing when she joined from Sporting Lisbon for just over £200,000 last year and she scored seven goals for the Reds in her debut WSL campaign. Arsenal have moved aggressively in the transfer market after winning the Women's Champions League in May and the club want to compete with Chelsea on the domestic front. Arsenal's signing of Smith will eclipse the previous world record transfer in the women's game set by Chelsea in January when they signed US international Naomi Girma for £900,000.

Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein are reporting that the Sweden striker report for preseason, with a five-year deal ready for him subject to a fee being agreed between the clubs. Gyokeres has told Sporting's president that he will not play for the club again.

Gibbs-White was due to have a medical at Spurs today after the club triggered his £60m release clause. But Forest have reacted furiously to events and are seeking urgent legal advice to scupper the deal, reports the Telegraph. Jack Rathborn12 July 2025 09:21

Unite boss accuses Angela Rayner of ‘totally and utterly abhorrent' behaviour as clash with Labour escalates
The leader of Unite has described Angela Rayner's behaviour during recent bin strikes as 'totally and utterly abhorrent' as tensions ramp up between the government and Labour's biggest union backers. General secretary Sharon Graham hit out at the deputy prime minister after the union voted to suspend her in a row over how the Labour-run council in Birmingham treated striking bin workers. The union, one of Labour's biggest financial backers, claims fire and rehire tactics had 'effectively' been deployed against striking workers, who are taking industrial action in a dispute over pay and job conditions. In a fresh attack on Saturday, Ms Graham told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Angela Rayner refuses to get involved, and she is directly aiding and abetting the fire and rehire of these bin workers, it is totally and utterly abhorrent." The general secretary said Ms Rayner had been "a member of our union for over 10 years". Allies of Ms Rayner have said she resigned from Unite in April. Ms Graham said the politician may well have done 'Houdini act' in recent months by trying to leave the Union, but added: "She was very clearly a member when she asked us to give her £10,000 for the election. And on our system, obviously we go by quarters, so up to the March quarter." She added: "Now, if she has over the last couple of weeks, because she's seen the mood music, because this isn't the first time that we've discussed that we're not happy with what's going on, then she may well have done that." Ms Graham hinted that the union may have to rethink its relationship with Labour, adding that Unite members have to see that the fee to affiliate with Labour is "worth something'. "At this present moment in time, it is hard to justify it, if I'm being honest,' she continued. 'Would that money be better spent on frontline services for my members? But the decision will be a serious decision. It's not a rash decision."

Live Lions v AUNZ XV: Score and latest updates from Adelaide
Debutant and injury replacement Ben White will form an intriguing half-back axis with so far inconsistent Fin Smith. If Smith performs to his high standards, he will put teammates into space with his excellent vision. In the forwards, Ben Earl and Henry Pollock will run all day, every carry having line-busting potential. They are backed up by the dogged work rate of Jac Morgan. The front row who are scrapping for positions in the test team will look to dominate at scrum time and provide the hard yards in attack. Alex Mitchell and Marcus Smith will surely provide electricity off the bench, whilst everyone watching will be eager to learn what sort of form Owen Farrell is in. It is difficult to asses how the Invitational XV will perform, but expect plenty of ambition and physicality, especially from their international standard back row.
