Derby send Sheffield Wednesday down, Hammers target bags second successive treble
Derby County narrowly avoided relegation on a dramatic final day in the Championship. The Rams twice came from behind to secure a 3-3 draw against Sheffield Wednesday at Pride Park to escape the drop at the expense of their opponents. Martyn Waghorn (2) and Patrick Roberts were on target for Derby, while Sam Hutchinson, Callum Paterson and Julian Borner replied for the visitors. Rotherham United were on course to survive after Lewis Wing put them ahead at Cardiff City, but Marlon Pack’s late strike sent them tumbling back into League One after just one season. Wycombe Wanderers also made an immediate return to the third tier despite recording a 3-0 victory at Middlesbrough – Fred Onyedinma, Garath McCleary and Jason McCarthy got the goals. At the other end of the table, the line-up for the...
Rangers reportedly want French defender with serious pace, once clocked at 36km/h
According to Foot Mercato (via GFFN), Scottish Premiership champions Rangers have registered an interest in Dijon centre-back Senou Coulibaly. However, Rangers face competition for the Frenchman, with Championship club Huddersfield Town also keeping tabs on the 26-year-old. Rangers are looking to bolster their squad when the summer transfer window opens to strengthen their title defence next season. Steven Gerrard’s side know that they cannot afford to rest on their laurels after knocking Celtic off their perch. Landing another quality defender will help strengthen their backline, and Coulibaly has been identified as a prospective target. The Dijon star still has two years left on his contract, and landing him might not come cheaply. Coulibaly is an all-action defender, and his serious pac...
Lingard and Garner steal the headlines, but how are the rest of Man Utd’s loanees doing this season?
Manchester United’s link with their academy is synonymous and the list of talent which has come through the ranks onto the pitch at Old Trafford is endless. However, progression into the first team isn’t something which comes easy, and even those of the most fame now – including David Beckham – sometimes have to go out on loan to prove their worth. We’ve profiled some of the United players currently out on loan this season – both young and old – and assessed what their chances are of returning to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s line-up at Old Trafford anytime soon. Jesse Lingard We’re going to start off with the players currently loaned out to clubs within the United Kingdom and undoubtedly, Jesse Lingard has started to shine since his move to West Ham United. The 28-year-old is the only name on th...

Terence Kongolo is undergoing a medical with Fulham after they reached a suitable transfer agreement with Huddersfield Town, Football Insider reports. The Cottagers signed two new centre-backs in Tosin Adarabioyo and Joachim Andersen (on loan) before the international transfer deadline and they are now set to bolster the department further.

Report: West Bromwich Albion poised to sign 19-goal attacker before Friday’s transfer deadline
West Bromwich Albion are close to securing an agreement to sign Karlan Grant from Huddersfield Town, a report from Football Insider claims. The 24-year-old has been one of the Baggies’ top targets this summer and manager Slaven Bilic has already confirmed the interest in the forward. Earlier this month, it was reported that the Baggies were in advanced talks with the Terriers and they could finalise a loan deal before Friday’s domestic transfer deadline. It is now revealed that the west Midlands outfit have made the breakthrough in the negotiations and they are likely to sign Grant on loan with the obligation to buy.

Report: Fulham fancied to sign Dutch defender ahead of Sheffield United
Fulham are in advanced talks to sign defender Terence Kongolo from Huddersfield Town, a report from Football Insider claims. The Cottagers have made a disappointing start on their top-flight return and they have failed to register a single point from the first four games of the season. The central defence has been a weakness for them, but they managed to bolster their options with the arrivals of Joachim Andersen (loan) and Tosin Adarabioyo before the international transfer deadline. Still, they appear to be eyeing further reinforcement at the heart of the backline and it is reported that they are close to landing the signature of Kongolo from the Terriers. Earlier this month, it was claimed that Sheffield United were leading the hunt for the Dutchman, who could fill the void lef...
Report: West Brom close to signing 19-goal attacker after breakthrough in negotiations
West Bromwich Albion are close to signing Huddersfield Town forward Karlan Grant on loan with the option to buy, a report from Football Insider claims. Earlier last week, Baggies boss Slaven Bilic confirmed the interest in signing Grant and Leicester City’s Islam Slimani, but the club won’t be able to recruit the latter this summer. The international transfer window closed on Monday night and the top-flight sides are only allowed to trade with EFL teams in the domestic-only window which closes on October 16. Hence, the west Midlands outfit can only sign one of their targets in Grant and it is reported that they have made the breakthrough in the negotiations. Huddersfield have been looking for a fee between £16m and £18m for Grant, but they have not received any suitable offers cl...

Britain secures early access to promising vaccine candidates
The British government on Friday announced that it had secured early access to 90 million doses of two new promising vaccine candidates. British citizens will receive early access to 90 million doses of the two COVID-19 vaccine candidates should they prove safe and effective.

The government has also agreed in principle to co-fund a global clinical trial with the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson and Johnson to establish how effective their vaccine could be in providing long-term immunity against COVID-19. The next phase of Janssen’s clinical trials is expected to begi...
