Chelsea striker joins Sunderland on season-long loan deal with special clause
Chelsea have announced that Marc Guiu has joined Sunderland on a season-long loan deal for the 2025-26 Premier League season. A special clause has been inserted, with Sunderland being forced to pay Chelsea a 'financial penalty' if Guiu doesn't hit a certain appearance threshold, according to reports. The move is likely to catch the attention of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players, given that the striker is available to buy for just £4.5m in the game. Sunderland were promoted to the top-flight last season after winning the Championship play-off final and host West Ham in their first match of the 2025-26 season, with the Black Cats then facing Burnley and Brentford. Guiu made 16 appearances for Chelsea last term after he was signed from Barcelona and netted six goals, becoming their top scorer in the Conference League.

Sunderland's sporting director Kristjaan Speakman added: 'In a loan acquisition, we not only have to convince the player but also the parent club, and we thank Chelsea for placing their trust in us.

Southampton's sought-after starlet Tyler Dibling 'is training away from his team-mates' as 'multiple teams fight' to sign England U21 international
Southampton youngster Tyler Dibling is reportedly training away from his team-mates amid the uncertainty over his future on the south coast. The 19-year-old has been on the radar of several teams this summer following a solid debut season in the English top-flight, showing flashes of talent despite the Saints' historically poor campaign. The England Under 21 international has a year left - with an option to extend until 2027 - on his current deal with Southampton, who will seek an immediate return to the Premier League under new boss Will Still. Southampton have rejected two bids for the young midfielder from Everton, with the Toffees latest bid worth believed to be worth £27million, according to The Times. The club are determined to receive a higher fee if they are sanction a sale but according to The Sun, his departure may not be far away as he is now training away from his colleagues. The outlet claim that the youngster is working in a small group of players doing only fitness amid his uncertain future. The speculation surrounding their star talent has come at an inopportune time for the Saints who begin their Championship campaign at home against Wrexham on Saturday. Other clubs believed to be eyeing Dibling are Aston Villa, West Ham United and Fulham. Dibling is thought to be open to joining Everton, as he sees the Merseyside club as a good opportunity for his development. Dibling revealed in April that his Southampton team-mates would joke about his reported £100m price tag, with Aaron Ramsdale - who is set to join Newcastle - particularly taking great pleasure in doing so. 'Rambo loves it,' said Dibling. 'I'll miss a shot in training and he'll just go: "£90million! £80million!" as it keeps going down. It's all good fun. There's a few nicknames going around. It's all jokes. Nobody takes it seriously. It's just a number. It's all fun. 'I don't try to think about it and just try and go into train every day and work hard and train the best I can. At the end of the day, I love Southampton. 'I have been here since I was eight. It is such a great team and I am working to do big things with them.' Dibling joined Southampton at the age of six, before rising through the club's youth ranks and debuting for the first team in 2021. He has since made 43 senior appearances, scoring four goals and providing three assists. Dibling has featured for England at every level from U16 to U21, but is yet to earn a senior cap.
