Pompey sign ex-West Brom midfielder Swift
Portsmouth have signed free agent John Swift following his departure from West Bromwich Albion at the end of last 30-year-old attacking midfielder has agreed a two-year-deal at Fratton Park and returns to the club where he spent time in their academy as a arrival is Pompey's second of the summer transfer window after signing Australian forward Adrian Segecic from Sydney FC in June. Swift played 126 games for West Brom, having previously made over 200 appearances for Reading, where he scored 34 goals."John is a player with bags of Championship experience and is a real leader," Portsmouth boss John Mousinho said. "He possesses all the qualities we were looking for in a midfielder, as the club look to build on what was a positive first campaign back at this level."We're delighted to add John to the squad relatively early in pre-season and I'm really looking forward to working with him as we build up to our first competitive fixture next month."

Liverpool willing to pay £120m for Alexander Isak as they approach Newcastle
Liverpool have made an approach for Alexander Isak at Newcastle United. The Premier League champions would be willing to offer around £120 million but that has prompted the Newcastle hierarchy to reiterate the message that their star player is not available this summer. It remains to be seen whether that deters Liverpool. The suspicion is they would not have made an approach if they had not been encouraged to do so. Liverpool have been looking for a new No 9 for some time and with Darwin Nunez expected to leave this summer, they have made their first move. Should they force Newcastle's hand it will be the second time this summer they have broken the British transfer record, having already signed Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee that could rise to £116 million. Liverpool are also understood to hold an interest in Newcastle target Hugo Ekitike and could bid for the France Under-21 international if the club do not budge on Isak. Newcastle have been braced for this moment for months and are now mobilising to fight off Liverpool's approach. But there is naturally concern the player will have his head turned by Liverpool's enquiry. Senior sources told Telegraph Sport on Tuesday that Newcastle do not want Isak to leave and will do everything in their power to keep him. As things stand, Isak has not indicated he wants to leave but Newcastle are well aware of the fact the leaking of Liverpool's interest into the public domain is designed to unsettle the player. The fact Liverpool's enquiry mentioned a fee well below Newcastle's valuation of the 25-year-old, which is in excess of £150 million, suggests this is just the first play in what could become a protracted transfer saga. The chase for Ekitke further complicates matters. As revealed by Telegraph Sport, Newcastle have been pushing hard to sign the 23-year-old this week and are making steady progress, despite having an initial bid of around £65 million rejected by Eintracht Frankfurt.

Alexander Isak transfer odds: Liverpool favourites to sign Newcastle striker in £120m deal – ‘there's a 58% chance'
LIVERPOOL are leading the race to sign Newcastle United superstar Alexander Isak, according to bookmakers Betfred. The Reds were priced at 7/4 this morning to land the Swedish striker - but those odds have since plummeted to 8/11, making Liverpool the clear favourites. The dramatic shift comes in the wake of a report from David Ornstein of The Athletic, who claims Liverpool are prepared to break their transfer record for a second time this summer in a bid to bring Isak to Anfield. Ornstein reports that the Merseyside club have made an initial approach for the 25-year-old and are willing to pay in excess of £120million for his signature. Although no formal offer has yet been submitted, Liverpool have made acquiring a top-class striker their priority this summer as they look to bolster their attacking options. SunSport understands that Newcastle, who recently saw a £69.5m bid for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike rejected, have made it clear they have no intention of selling Isak. Since joining from Real Sociedad in 2022 for £63m, Isak has scored an impressive 54 goals in 86 Premier League appearances. Newcastle are believed to value the striker at around £150m - a figure that could prove a stumbling block, even for a club with Liverpool's financial muscle. Nevertheless, Liverpool remain firm favourites in the betting markets, now odds-on at 8/11 with Betfred. Betfred 's Robert Ford said: 'After it was reported this afternoon that Liverpool have made an approach for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, we've slashed the Sweden international's odds of moving to Anfield to odds-on (8/11) after previously being priced at 7/4 this morning. 'There's a 58% chance of the move happening, increasing by 22% since the news broke, and it has the potential to be the most expensive transfer in Premier League history after a £120 million figure was reported.' It appears to be a one-horse race, with Arsenal the next most likely contenders at 25/1 - a price expected to drift if they confirm the signing of Viktor Gyokeres. Barcelona and Real Madrid are priced at 25/1 and 33/1 respectively, while European champions Paris Saint-Germain are long shots at 50/1. *New customers only.
