All the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Premier League.

The Premier League produced another thrilling round of fixtures across Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and there is little rest for the 20 top tier sides. We have another round of action just around the corner, with Saturday kicking off another big weekend.

Crystal Palace will be looking to continue their revival, while West Ham will need to start their - albeit they must wait until Monday for their next outing. Brentford and Fulham will both be hoping to return to winning ways. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the top tier.

Guehi defence

Ally McCoist has defended Marc Guehi after the Palace captain wrote “Jesus loves you” on his Rainbow armband, with captains wearing the armband this week in support of the LGBTQ community. Guehi has been criticised by some for the move, but McCoist is having none of it.

He told talkSPORT: "I don't have a problem at all. The problem isn't Marc Guehi saying 'I love Jesus'. The problem is people having a problem with it. I mean, dear me, all he's doing is expressing his feelings for Jesus. Are you really getting upset about that, what is the world coming to?

"I mentioned Sam Morsy as well who didn't wear the armband. Whether we agree with it or not, that is his belief, and I don't have a problem with that either. That is his belief, I don't necessarily agree with it but that doesn't mean I'm going to throw the toys out of the pram and say he's out of order. That's his choice and Marc Guehi's choice to tell the world that he loves Jesus. I mean, is that such a big deal?

"I don't think you ask people to do things that they're not comfortable with or that they don't believe in. I think it should be up to the individual to tell you the truth. The irony in Marc Guehi potentially having to face the beaks for wearing something that says 'I love Jesus', and they're all about tolerance and acceptance... I said yesterday, the most tolerant human being that's ever walked this Earth was Jesus Christ. So the irony of that whole thing isn't lost on me at all.

"It's about freedom of choice. If they want to take part in it, great. If they don't want to take part in it, then they don't want to take part in it. I wouldn't be holding a gun to anyone's head. I certainly wouldn't hold it against anybody just because they don't have the same views and beliefs as I do or somebody else does."

Frank on Rogers

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has been raving about Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers. He said: “We know we are better than what we showed today, and that is the frustrating part. But then we faced a team who hit a high level and got all the momentum they needed.

“They get the first goal, a top action from Rogers putting it into the top corner. What a player, by the way.”

Milambo links

Manchester United may not have a Dutch boss anymore, but they are still scouring the Dutch market, according to one reporter. Feyenoord midfielder Antoni Milambo is said to be a midfield target, or at least according to Florian Plettenburg.

He wrote on X: “Excl | Antoni #Milambo is considered a future transfer target for Manchester United. The 19-year-old midfield talent from @Feyenoord has been on their list for a long time, has been discussed internally multiple times, and continues to be closely monitored. He fits perfectly into the profile that will be sought in the future. #MUFC. The Red Devils have gathered information on him. He is already on their shortlist for the upcoming summer. Contract until 2027.”
