Leeds & Southampton 'interested' in Celtic's Carter-Vickers
The US international has been the main man in the Hoops defence for a number of years now, including impressing on the European stage. Clubs will have taken notice of that and the Herald reports Leeds and Southampton are both taking a look. Leeds, owned by 49ers Enterprises who are also now involved at Rangers, have just been promoted to the Premier League and are looking to strengthen their defence. While Southampton will be hoping to return to that level at the first time of asking after relegation to the Championship. Carter-Vickers is one of the most important and influential players at the Scottish champions and would not be allowed to go for anything less than a substantial figure. Read more: Meanwhile, Celtic are lining up a swoop for Japanese defender Hayato Inamura, who plays for Albirex Niigata in the J-League. The 23-year-old is a left-sided centre half who can also operate at full-back. Swedish international winger Benjamin Nygren is close to a £2million move from Danish side Nordsjaelland while Kieran Tierney has been confirmed on a five-year deal. Teenage Fulham striker Callum Osmand is also omn the verge of joining the Hoops. Ross Doohan is expected to sign on a free transfer after his Aberdeen departure, replacing Scott Bain in the goalkeeping ranks. As well as interest in Carter-Vickers, there could also be suitors for Reo Hatate, while Daizen Maeda is yet to sign a new deal. Greg Taylor is expected to finalise a free transfer to Greek side PAOK, although Danish giants Copenhagen could look to hijack that deal.

John Lundstram parties with Premier League best pal as ex Rangers star gets behind the decks at music festival
Lundstram appeared in video shared on social media looking relaxed as he partied with fellow Scouser Ross Barkley. John Lundstram was called out by his ex Rangers boss Philippe Clement in an interview last week. But it looked to be the furthest thing from the former Ibrox iron man's mind as he lived it up during a break in Barcelona. Lundstram appeared in a video shared on social media looking relaxed as he partied with fellow Scouser Ross Barkley. Aston Villa star Barkley posted a video to his followers on Instagram as he partied in the Catalan capital. And Lundstram joined the 31-year-old in the Spanish city as they enjoyed their summer break. The pair have been close friends since they were teenagers, having played for Everton and England U20s. The duo were at an all-night music event in one of Spain's most lively cities. Footage shared on social media showed the duo in the the VIP area of Eastenderz - OFFWEEK Castle's 6pm to 6am event in Barcelona. Eight artists performed through the night at the event. Lundstram departed Ibrox last summer and joined Turkish side Trabzonspor. In an interview last week, Clement pointed the finger at the Englishman and Borna Barisic, who joined Lundstram in Turkey, as having his mind on his next move during his final months at Rangers. The Belgian said: 'If I look back, two players who were not good in those two games (against Ross County and Dundee where they dropped points) they left at the end of the season on a free transfer. 'They were at that moment busy also talking with other teams with their agents, about their future and all those things. 'Probably, and maybe, it had an affect on them. Did they not want to become Rangers? For sure not. They wanted to become champions and give everything. 'But the situation to be at the end of the contract at that moment of the season was also not a good one.'

Football transfer rumours: Jack Grealish to join McTominay at Napoli?
Having been left out of Manchester City's Club World Cup squad entirely, Jack Grealish is badly in need of an Italian renaissance. Having rescued one Briton from Manchester last summer in the form of Scott McTominay, Napoli could repeat the trick this year. Grealish's wages are a sticking point – the 29-year-old earns close to £300,000 a week at City following his £100m move to the Etihad in 2021 and would need to take a drastic pay cut if a permanent deal with Napoli is to be arranged. A loan deal is more likely, with City continuing to pay a portion of Grealish's wages, unless Napoli opt for another adopted Mancunian entirely, United's Alejandro Garnacho, who has also been linked with Spurs. Both the Argentinian and Grealish are thought to be available for around £40m. 'That's the dream, to play for Arsenal one day,' Ollie Watkins said in 2020, and the Aston Villa could yet get his wish, with the Gunners unsure over the €80m (£68m) price tag for Viktor Gyökeres and uncertain they can convince Benjamin Sesko to make the move to north London. With Villa missing out on Champions League qualification, Watkins could be a more feasible option. Apparently Bournemouth's reward for overachieving last season is that now, every elite club wants to sign their best players. Much of the attention for the Cherries has been on overcoming the departure of Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid and the potential transfers of Milos Kerkez to Liverpool in a deal thought to be worth £50m and Kepa Arrizabalaga to Arsenal. The Mill has dived deep into the internet and found that Kerkez's brother has shared an Instagram post of the left-back saying: 'Soon to be Liverpool player.' To make matters worse for Bournemouth, the interest from PSG in Ilya Zabarnyi won't go away and while life on the south coast is probably a fine thing, life with the European champions on a far greater wage is arguably preferable, if you don't mind the whole Ligue 1 procession and Qatari money thing. Having signed Leroy Sané last week, Galatasaray are in the market for another German in Marc-André ter Stegen. The imminent arrival of Espanyol's Joan García could dump Ter Stegen on the scrapheap at Barça but he is reportedly unsure of a move to Turkey. A player that has just won the Süper Lig title with Gala is Victor Osimhen, who is returning to parent club Napoli after a successful loan spell last season. Osimhen wants a permanent move to another European giant but could yet end up in Saudi Arabia, Al-Hilal having returned with an improved bid for the Nigerian – the astounding salary on offer is thought to be close to £43m a year. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Like an ex all up in your DMs, Nicolas Kühn's former club, RB Leipzig, want to re-sign the German winger from Celtic. Kühn spent three years with Leipzig at academy level, where he impressed enough as a teenager that Ajax spent €2m on him, and has continued that way in Glasgow, scheming and scuttling on the right wing to help Celtic to domestic glory and a decent run to the Champions League league phase playoffs. They are expected to demand around £15m for the 25-year-old, around five times what they paid for Kühn in January 2024.
