Fresh Tottenham transfer blow<\/p>\n

Tottenham target Morgan Gibbs-White has linked up with Nottingham Forest\u2019s pre-season camp in Portugal \u2014 despite swirling speculation over his future.<\/p>\n

The midfielder was a late arrival after missing Monday\u2019s flight due to what Forest insist was a private matter not linked to any transfer.<\/p>\n

But the saga\u2019s far from over \u2014 Forest are weighing up legal action over Spurs\u2019 pursuit, while Ange Postecoglou\u2019s side remain keen on striking a deal.<\/p>\n

Isak makes it clear he wants out<\/p>\n

Alexander Isak has told Newcastle he wants to quit the club in a bombshell that could rock the Magpies\u2019 summer plans.<\/p>\n

The Swedish striker<\/a>, 25, hasn\u2019t travelled with the squad for their pre-season<\/a> tour of the Far East, with the club putting it down to a \u201cminor thigh injury.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Mail Sport reports that reveal there\u2019s more to it with their sources saying Isak has informed the Toon hierarchy he wants to explore a move away from St James\u2019 Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u00a363million record signing is now at the centre of growing transfer speculation, with top clubs across Europe<\/a> set to circle.<\/p>\n

Newcastle<\/a> chiefs are aware of his stance but are likely to demand big money if they\u2019re to part ways with their star man.<\/p>\n

Ekitike in Hong Kong<\/p>\n

After his transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt was confirmed yesterday, Hugo Ekitike has landed in Hong Kong to join up with his new Liverpool squadmates.<\/p>\n

\"Hugo<\/a>Fulham in for struggling Chelsea star <\/p>\n

Fulham have expressed interest in signing Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this summer.<\/p>\n

The Englishman made the switch from Leicester to Stamford Bridge ahead of the 2024\u201325 season but has struggled for regular game time. A move to Craven Cottage could offer him a more prominent role.<\/p>\n

Fulham have explored both loan and permanent transfer possibilities. Dewsbury-Hall remains under contract with Chelsea until 2029.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Isak drama continues as he’s left out<\/p>\n

Newcastle United have confirmed their 30-man squad for the 2025 Asia Tour \u2014 but fans were quick to spot one big name missing from the list.<\/p>\n

Star striker Alexander Isak has been left out after picking up a \u201cminor thigh injury\u201d, the club revealed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a frustrating blow for boss Eddie Howe, with the Swedish hitman a key part of his plans going into the new season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there\u2019s better news for Lewis Hall, who makes his return to the first-team fold after missing the second half of last season with a foot injury.<\/p>\n

The Magpies will hope to hit the ground running in Asia as they gear up for a crucial Premier League campaign \u2014 but they’ll have to do it without their No9 for now.<\/p>\n

Zubimendi confirms Liverpool snub <\/p>\n

Martin Zubimendi has revealed he knocked back a move to Liverpool last year because the timing wasn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n

But now the Spanish midfield maestro reckons he\u2019s landed in the perfect spot under Mikel Arteta after sealing a \u00a355million move to Arsenal from Real Sociedad this summer.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old had the chance to join the Reds 12 months ago in a similar deal but chose to stay put in La Liga<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe first question I had to answer was whether I wanted to leave and it wasn\u2019t the right time. <\/p>\n

“I felt La Real offered me more opportunities and that I still had a lot to learn, so staying was the best decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
