'Liverpool add Minteh to list of targets to replace Salah'
Liverpool have added Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh to the list of options to replace Mohamed Salah this summer, according to the Daily Mail.
Salah confirmed he would be leaving the club at the end of the season and Liverpool are now assessing options to replace him on the right wing, with Minteh listed as a potential target.
The report suggests Brighton would like to double the 33m they paid Newcastle to sign Minteh in 2024.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot coached the player at Feyenoord and could now look to reunite with the Minteh at Anfield.
RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande, Juventus' Francisco Conceicao and Hoffenheim winger Bazoumana Toure are other options the club could reportedly consider.
Farke: Tanaka happy at Leeds
Daniel Farke insists Japan midfielder Ao Tanaka is happy at Leeds and will get further chances to prove he is a top Premier League player.
Tanaka has struggled to force his way into Farkes starting line-up this season and there has been speculation over his future, with reports this week claiming he is open to leaving Elland Road in the summer.
The 29-year-old played a key role in last weeks FA Cup semi-final win at West Ham, scoring the opening goal, and could start in place of the injured Anton Stach in Monday nights Premier League game at Manchester United.
Farke said: Lately there have been really good performances, so based on that I dont see anything. I know that he loves to play for this club and is happy with us.
Im very happy with his development because Ao is not the youngest anymore and for him its his first season in a top flight.
Hurzeler: It would take a lot for me to leave Brighton
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler says it would take a lot to tempt him away from the club, amid speculation linking him with Bayer Leverkusen.
Hurzeler has been touted as a possible replacement for Kasper Hjulmand, should he pay the price for Leverkusens struggles this term.
But the 33-year-old talked up the links he has forged at Albion, who will continue their battle for European football when they face Burnley on Saturday.
I feel there is a connection, especially with the fans, a connection that we started building through the highs and lows and now we want a strong finish to the season, he said.
It will take a lot to take me away from this place. I feel this is a long-term project here, a project where we can be very successful. We need to keep working hard but the main thing for me is how is the relationship with the players, with the team, staff, owners and supporters.
I feel really settled and I feel the foundation is really strong and really good that we can build something.
Would a move stifle Rogers' rise?
Your Site' Patrick Rowe:
"Morgan Rogers has made the leap from promising young player to a fully fledged England international on the cusp of superstar status in the Premier League.
"However, the reason that has been made possible is the freedom he has been afforded at Aston Villa.
"Teams looking for a traditional winger to hug the touchline and provide width should look elsewhere.
"Rogers' best moments in a Villa shirt have come in a fluid role off the striker.
"The 23-year-old is free to roam across the fluid front four Unai Emery implements and thrives in the space this creates ahead of him.
"When given the luxury of picking the avenues he wishes to pursue in game, the maverick-like moments of brilliance follow as a result.
"Rogers is a unique blend of pace, power, technical ability and precision. Those are the traits capturing the attention of Europe's elite but one thing he is not is a cog in a system.
"Villa have been down this road before with the sale of Jack Grealish to Manchester City for 100m. Another unique talent that set Villa Park alight.
"Their latest star would likely command a similar figure and a similar trophy collection to Grealish would undoubtedly follow suit.
"But Rogers' return for England, scoring once in 13 appearances, is an insight into what happens when he's confined to a more rigid system, tasking him with operating primarily down the right wing while working with Thomas Tuchel.
"Given space and freedom, the rewards are obvious with Rogers. Limit that and you risk stifling one of the premium rising talents in world football."
Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd and PSG eyeing move for Rogers
Latest from Your Site News' Lyall Thomas, Kaveh Solhekol and Danyal Khan:
Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are all considering a summer move for Aston Villas Morgan Rogers.
Despite signing a new long-term deal until 2031 last year, Villa are expected to face interest in Rogers following his continued rise under the guidance of Unai Emery.
Villa are in a strong position, however, with five years left on the 23-year-old's contract, meaning he will be one of the highest-valued players of the summer.
Villa are also on course to qualify for the Champions League, sitting in fourth place with a five-point gap to Liverpool in fifth, and have one foot in a Europa League semi-final after beating Bologna 3-1 on Thursday.
Rogers has scored 27 goals and added 21 assists across 115 appearances for Villa since arriving in a deal worth up to 16m from Middlesbrough in 2024
Your Site News reported then that the former Manchester City youth was under consideration at both Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as Tottenham, before putting to bed any idea of a move in 2025 by recommitting to Villa.
This summer, Arsenal are looking to sign a new left-winger and Rogers is among the names on their list alongside the likes of Newcastles Anthony Gordon and PSGs Kvicha Kvaratskhelia.
United are also looking at the left-wing position, with Your Site News already reporting on their admiration for RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande and Evertons Iliman Ndiaye - and they also like Rogers.
Chelsea's plans for the summer may also include a new forward, while PSG will always look to strengthen with the best players, and Rogers could make himself attractive to more clubs with a positive impact for England at the World Cup in June.
Iraola coy on future after talks with Bournemouth
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola declined to give an update on his future but admitted he had used the international break to speak with the club.
It is believed Crystal Palace are moving onto other managerial targets as a replacement for Oliver Glasner, while Iraola has been linked with a return to Athletic Club.
Iraola, though, may be inclined to stay with Bournemouth unless one of the Premier League's top clubs comes calling. The Cherries have offered him a new contract but Iraola is yet to give the club an answer.
"Yes, obviously we spoke. But I'm sorry I don't have news for you today," he said when asked about whether he'd held talks with Bournemouth's hierarchy.
"There is no changes on that side but we spoke, yes."

Howe wants expectations managed if Newcastle sell key players
Head coach Eddie Howe says if Newcastle have to sell key players this summer then the club must manage expectations.
"If that's the reality - and I'm not saying it is - then that's the reality. I've no issue working with the conditions the club set and finances dictate. I've never had an issue with that all through my career," he said.
"As long as that is made clear to everybody on the outside, and the expectations are aligned within that. Because I don't think you can have expectations that warp reality. Everything has got to be aligned for the players to enter the pitch and play in their best place, where they're relaxed and not under undue pressure. That's fundamentally important."
Howe believes the overall outlook for Newcastle remains positive but says they will need to be "smart" in the next transfer window to improve.
"The long-term prospects for the football club are really strong but certainly these seasons we've experienced previously... not all the forces are with us and we're going to have to act really smart and try to outperform the budget etc to try to hit the levels everyone wants," he said.
Fernandes: I feel at home at Man Utd
Bruno Fernandes has admitted he feels "at home" at Manchester United and is confident the club is capable of achieving "anything" possible in terms of success in the near future.
The United captain is having a stellar season with 16 assists in the Premier League so far, as the club close in on a spot in next season's Champions League.
With Fernandes' future a constant subject at Old Trafford, the United captain was asked if he feels at home in Manchester.
"When you are so long in a place you kind of feel part of it," Fernandes told Men In Blazers. "And obviously I'm very proud of my nation. And I love my country and I love to be there.
"But obviously I feel at home at Manchester. My kids feel at home here. So it's it's wonderful for me to be to be in a place where my, my kids can enjoy so much and, and feel so much at home as they do in Manchester."
And asked what United have to do to be considered truly 'back', Fernandes replied: "First of all, you have to understand the place you are, how much it means to be here, not just for everyone on the outside.
"When we see fans, whatever is around the world, we know how much it means for every player that has the chance and the opportunity to represent this club. And obviously I think to achieve it, this club will always be winning trophies and that's all every player wants to do when it comes to this club.
"You could be in the worst position as you want, but there is no player that comes to this club and never thinks about winning the Premier League, the Champions League, the Carabao Cup, anything that you could be involved.
"You are going to always think that at this club you can you can achieve anything."
