Krisztián Keresztes is to join Dundee United on a season-long loan from Nyíregyháza Spartacus, with the Scottish Premiership club having an option to buy the 25-year-old centre-half, the Hungarian club have announced.United have yet to confirm, but Nyíregyháza sports director Tivadar Fekete told his club website: "We have been in contact with Dundee United for some time and now we have reached the point where we were able to conclude an agreement that is suitable for both parties."If Krisztián performs well after the loan, the Scottish team has the opportunity to buy him out and acquire his playing rights from us."Fekete said a similar arrangement had proven successful with left-back Barnabás Nagy's January move to Ferencváros.Keresztes, who is under contract with Nyíregyháza until 2027, is excited by "what awaited me in Scotland", saying: "I can feel what football means to the people living here."I would like to test myself at this level.

Liverpool fend off Premier League rival in Hugo Ekitike transfer

Liverpool are nearing a deal to sign striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, with personal terms already agreed with the player. Reports of a €90 million (£78 million) bid being accepted are inaccurate, as the two clubs are still negotiating the transfer fee and its structure. Ekitike, 23, impressed in the Bundesliga, scoring 15 goals in 31 games for Frankfurt after joining permanently last summer. Newcastle United previously had a £70 million offer for the France Under-21 international rejected and have since dropped out of the race. The potential arrival of Ekitike could prompt the departures of Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa as Liverpool aim to balance their finances.

When is the GAA football final? Kerry vs Donegal start time, FREE live stream, TV channel for huge All-Ireland final

ALL eyes will be on Croke Park once again NEXT WEEKEND as Kerry face Donegal in a mouthwatering GAA All-Ireland football final. Kerry are the most successful Gaelic football team in the competition's history, having lifted the title a staggering 38 times. 2 2 And the Irish giants are appearing in their third final in four years after beating Tyrone 1-20 to 0-17 in a thrilling semi-final clash. But you could argue that opponents Donegal will be hungrier to win the championship, as their only two title wins were way back in 1992 and 2012. Furthermore, Jim McGuinness' side should have the wind in their sails following a stunning 3-26 to 0-15 semis triumph over Meath. However, Joe Brolly believes Donegal go into this final as favourites, which wasn't a good omen for Kerry's previous opponents, Armagh. When is the GAA All-Ireland football final? The GAA All-Ireland football final between Kerry and Donegal will take place on Saturday, July 27. It is scheduled to get underway at 3:30pm BST / 10:30am ET. Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland is the chosen venue for this iconic match and it can host a whopping 82,300 fans. Armagh won their second title, with a 1–11 to 0–13 win against Galway in the 2024 final. How to watch the GAA All-Ireland football final for FREE The GAA All-Ireland football final will be broadcast LIVE on BBC Two Northern Ireland. Fans can stream the entire action for FREE on BBC iPlayer. Coverage is expected to get underway from 2:15pm BST - one hour and 15 minutes before the throw-in. Fans in the US can watch the match through the GAA+ stream or website. Alternatively, SunSport will have coverage of the entire action through our live blog. Who will be the referee? The GAA has announced that Brendan Cawley will officiate this year's All-Ireland football final between Kerry and Donegal. It'll be the Kildare native's first time refereeing Gaelic football 's showpiece occasion. The Sarsfields clubman has been on the inter-county officiating circuit since 2019 and is a widely respected figure across the game. His line umpires on the day will be Monaghan's Martin McNally and David Coldrick of Meath, with McNally also set to serve as the standby referee. What kits will be worn? Kerry are set to wear their alternative blue kit in order to avoid a colour clash in this year's All-Ireland football final. Common sense seemed to be ignored for Donegal's semi-final triumph over Meath when both teams lined out in their traditional colours. It is the referee's call whether a colour clash is significant enough that one or both of the teams is compelled to wear one of their alternative strips. Ultimately, Paul Faloon did not deem that a necessary step to take. And in fairness many viewers expressed that they had little to no issue distinguishing Donegal players from Kerry counterparts. But it was a problem for some portions of the TV as well as Croke Park audience.
