Man Utd transfer news: Fabian Hurzeler sure Carlos Baleba will stay at Brighton
Forward trio Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko have moved to Old Trafford this summer and it seems United are out to reinforce their midfield before the transfer window closes on September 1. It has been reported that Baleba fits the bill for United boss Ruben Amorim, but the Cameroonian, who joined Brighton from Lille in August 2023, still has three years remaining on his contract. Hurzeler was bullish when asked whether Baleba will remain with the Seagulls this season, adding the 21-year-old is enjoying being at the club and has not been distracted by United's rumoured interest. 'I didn't see any change in Carlos… he only changed his hair.' 😅 @MonsterEnergy 📲 — Brighton & Hove Albion (@OfficialBHAFC) August 15, 2025 'Very, very, very confident (he will stay),' Hurzeler told a press conference ahead of Brighton's Premier League curtain-raiser at home to Fulham on Saturday. 'It's just my belief. 'I didn't see any change in him. He only changed his hair, that was the only change he made in the last two weeks! 'But overall, he seems to be in a really good place. He's enjoying it with his team-mates. He's enjoying being a Brighton player. 'He's very grateful to have the progress he made in the last season. I didn't see any big change. He is an option to start for tomorrow.'

Luke Humphries says form is ‘depressing' after struggling to win in New Zealand
Humphries beat Haupai Puha 6-4 but was not happy with his display in the World Series event in Auckland. The 30-year-old has been 'out of sorts' since winning the Premier League at the end of May, crashing out of the World Cup and the World Matchplay at the first hurdle. HUMPHRIES OFF AND RUNNING! The reigning champion is through to the quarter-finals! World number one Luke Humphries marks his return to New Zealand with a hard-fought 6-3 win against Haupai Puha! 📺 | R1 — PDC Darts (@OfficialPDC) August 15, 2025 He averaged 89.47 against the world number 94 but was able to get through. 'I think the last two months it has been hard work,' Humphries admitted on ITV X. 'I am out of sorts, out of form, and struggling to find something. Since the Premier League final I have not been in the form I would have liked. 'It is depressing because I feel like something is there but it's not coming out. 'It's really tough to not perform at the level you can. I am finding myself not playing very well at the moment but I can bounce back. A post shared by Professional Darts Corporation (@officialpdc) 'I don't think I have had one good game of darts in two months. Everyone knows that and everyone can see that. 'That doesn't stop me coming back tomorrow and being the world number one that everyone knows.' World number two Luke Littler is having no such problems as he made it 10 wins on the bounce. Littler, who won the Australian Masters last week, did not need to be at his absolute best to beat Mark Cleaver 6-4. He sets up a quarter-final tie with Mike De Decker, who beat Gordon Mathers 6-1, as he has eyes on a Down Under double. There were also wins for Stephen Bunting, Gerwyn Price and Josh Rock.

Ryan Reynolds looking to poach top Cardiff City star in new Wrexham twist
Ryan Reynolds looking to poach top Cardiff City star in new Wrexham twist The north Walian club have been linked with a move for one of Cardiff's senior stars Ryan Reynolds co-owner of Wrexham on the phone (Image: Getty Images) Wrexham are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Cardiff City captain Calum Chambers as Phil Parkinson looks to further strengthen his squad. The Dragons have been busy in the transfer market this summer, recruiting eight new players following their promotion from League One, including former Cardiff star Kieffer Moore. Another of those additions was centre-back Conor Coady, who joined from Leicester City earlier this month to bolster Wrexham's defensive options. But Parkinson is said to be keen on bringing in at least one more defender before the transfer window closes, with a number of targets still under consideration. Join the Cardiff City breaking news and top stories WhatsApp community. Wrexham have been linked with Sheffield United's Jack Robinson, while Bournemouth and Wales international Chris Mepham is also on the radar. A deal for Mepham is considered to be 'very expensive' at this stage, but a move has not been completely ruled out. Article continues below And, according to journalist Graeme Bailey, attention has now turned to Chambers, who is said to be a player of strong interest to Parkinson. Chambers, 30, joined Cardiff last year but suffered relegation to League One at the first time of asking. Whether a move back to the Championship would interest him remains to be seen. Sheffield United are among the other clubs believed to be monitoring his situation, meaning Wrexham could face competition if they decide to push ahead. Versatility is a key part of Chambers' appeal, with the experienced defender capable of playing in multiple positions, including as part of a back three. 'Calum Chambers is an outstanding player at Championship level, and you can see why someone like Phil Parkinson would be keen,' Bailey told The Wrexham Insider. 'Chambers is very much one to watch in the final two weeks of the window.'

Cardiff have allowed 14 players to leave so far this summer, with another centre-half, Jesper Daland, also in talks with other clubs over a potential departure. Chambers was asked last week about the disappointment of relegation in his first season, but insisted he was happy to be at the club where he was recently appointed skipper. "I'm happy to be here," he said. "You can't predict what's gonna happen in football. You've just got to enjoy the journey and that's what I'm doing." He added: "The manager's been amazing since he's come in. Article continues below "Pre-season has gone really well. Everyone is buzzing, the boys are really excited, with the style and the identity we have now, I think it works amazingly with the group and the players that we have. "I feel there's a real identity about us and and a path going forward in the way we want to play. The vibe around the place is really good." Wrexham were linked with a move for Callum Robinson earlier this summer. Join the Cardiff City breaking news and top stories WhatsApp community.
