Another Wanderer heading to Scotland
Sapsford has signed a three-year deal with the Tangerines for an undisclosed transfer fee.
The 22-year-old attacking weapon scored nine goals in 26 A-League appearances for the Wanderers last season, and was part of impressive forward line that also included Johnny Warren Medal winner Milanovic, who joined Aberdeen last month for a deal that landed Western Sydney a club-record transfer off about $800,000.
Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin said the acquisition of Sapsford was a 'terrific piece of business' for the Tangerines.
'He's a dynamic forward with a killer instinct in the final third off both feet or with his head, and also has the awareness to intelligently bring his teammates into play,' Goodwin said.
'We feel he's someone that will get our supporters out of their seats and we can rely on in big moments given his mentality and track record in those situations.
'Zac immediately bought into our vision for him and his development. I'm looking forward to closely monitoring his progression during his time in tangerine.'Meanwhile, teenage Sydney FC midfielder Wataru Kamijo has signed a new four-year deal with the Sky Blues.
'This club has given me my opportunity and I feel like I'm in the right place to grow and develop into a first-class midfielder,' Kamijo said.

Hearts close to Kabore signing but exits expected
Hearts are close to signing Pierre Landry Kabore but also expect departures, says chief executive Andrew McKinlay. Narva Trans and Burkino Faso winger Kabore has been linked with the Scottish Premiership club. Christian Borchgrevink, Claudio Braga, Stuart Findlay, Sabah Kerjota, Alexandros Kyziridis and Oisin McEntee have already arrived at Tyncastle this summer while Elton Kabangu has formalised a move following a loan spell. Derek McInnes' side have won all four of his games this term, securing top spot in Premier Sports Cup Group E and a place in the last 16. They host Aberdeen in their Premiership opener on 4 August. "We're hoping to get Kabore over the line," McKinlay told club media. Hearts hit four past Dumbarton on way to last 16 Visit our Hearts page for all the latest news, analysis and fan views Get Hearts news notifications in the BBC Sport app "Some of the players that we've brought in so far, they've hit the ground running, some real excitement among some of these players. You can tell we're going to play in a different way. "What we haven't had yet is the new width on the right, but we've now got Kerjota in and I think as everyone knows, as well. "As far as doing any more, the focus is very much now on moving in the other direction. That's very much the manager's view on things. "Now he's had a chance to assess the squad, there will unfortunately be some players that are just surplus to requirements, just based on a numbers game. "So we'll hopefully move some players out before the end of the window. Whether we bring any more in will depend partly on what goes out, but it's not that we're not looking, not monitoring, and we'll always be doing that."

Liverpool left-back Beck joins Derby on loan
Derby County have confirmed the arrival of Liverpool left-back Owen Beck on a season-long loan. It is the 22-year-old's second loan move to a Championship club in as many years, having spent last season at Blackburn Rovers. Beck, who has also had previous spells at Dundee in the Scottish Premiership and Bolton in League One, joined Liverpool's youth set-up from Stoke City at Under-13 level and made his first-team debut for the Reds in the EFL Cup in October 2021. The former Wales Under-21 international made a solitary Premier League appearance for Liverpool off the bench in January 2024, but has not featured for the first team since. He becomes Derby's sixth summer addition and third to have played under Rams head coach John Eustace at Blackburn last season, with forward Andreas Weimann and centre-back Danny Batth both arriving on free transfers. Before Beck's arrival was confirmed, Eustace described him as "one of the most exciting full-backs in the country for his age at the moment". "He is a really exciting young player," Eustace told BBC Radio Derby. "There is a lot to improve and our job is to help develop him. "My job, and that of all the coaches, is that whenever a player comes to the football club, no matter how old or how young they are, they come into an environment where they are going to improve and get better."
