It has been another busy day in the summer transfer window, as clubs continue to work tirelessly to improve their squads.

Hull City recruit winger
The wideman was available on the free agent market after departing Turkish outfit Çaykur Rizespor at the end of the 2024/25 season. He has signed a two-year deal at the MKM Stadium.
Akintola said: “Growing up in Nigeria, everybody watches the Premier League. Hull have played in the Premier League before, so it’s a team I’ve known about for a very long time. Having the opportunity to play here now is a big privilege and I’m grateful.”
Sheffield United in talks over defender
Sheffield United are reportedly in talks over a deal to sign defender Bobby Thomas from Coventry City.
It has been suggested the Blades are willing to pay £8m to secure the services of the centre-back.
No stranger to Yorkshire, Thomas spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan at Barnsley from Burnley.
Middlesbrough close in on midfielder
Manchester City prodigy Sverre Nypan is believed to be closing in on a loan move to Middlesbrough.
The 18-year-old arrived on British shores in June, moving from Rosenborg in his native Norway for a reported £12.5m.
He now appears set for a spell in the Championship, with Middlesbrough thought to be closing in on the completion of a deal.

Huddersfield Town loan out frontman
The 30-year-old has been ravaged by injuries since his move to the Terriers from Watford in 2024. He will now spend the 2025/26 campaign in League Two as he looks to get his career back on track.
Huddersfield boss Lee Grant said: “There is no doubting Rhys’ ability when fully match fit, but to reach that level of fitness again he will require a consistent exposure to competitive minutes that he’s unlikely to gain with our strength-in-depth across the frontline.”
