Joao about that

Newcastle United are considering a swoop for Brighton star Joao Pedro – three years after missing out on him.

The Seagulls striker, 23, was axed for the last two games of the season by boss Fabian Hurzeler after a training-ground bust-up with team-mate Jan Paul van Hecke.

Brighton initially slapped a £70m price tag on the Brazilian but Sun Sport understands that they will be willing to do business for £59m.

Eddie Howe is known to be a big admirer of the player and even came close to bringing him to St. James’ Park in 2022 from Watford for £30m only for that deal to fall through.

Marcus Rashford is gaining interest from Serie A giants Inter Milan.

The forward spent the second half of the season on loan at Aston Villa, with his red-hot form securing him a place back in the England squad.

Sources close to Rashford told SunSport he doesn’t see a future at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim. 

The pair reportedly fell out last season with the Portuguese manager unhappy with Rashford’s attitude during training and off the field.

And that means Rashford is frantically searching for a new club, which has put Inter Milan on red-alert.

The Italian giants are looking to rebuild their side in the wake of the Champions League final demolition at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.

DONE DEAL: La Fee in

Sunderland have confirmed Enzo Le Fee will join them permanently for £20m after helping the club to promotion.

The French star, 25, reunited with his former Lorient boss Regis Le Bris in January on a six-month loan from Roma that ended with Championship play-off glory.

Winger Le Fee has now penned a four-year contract to become the Black Cats’ first summer signing.

Williams contract

Premier League sides have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams.

The winger has been a long-term target for Arsenal and Chelsea since his exploits at Euro 2024.

However, he is now reportedly negotiating a new contract in the Basque Country.

This means that his £48million release clause could be raised significantly.
