Jack Grealish completes Everton loan move
Follow live updates from the transfer window with the new Premier League season fast approaching Getty Images Jack Grealish has completed his season-long loan move to Everton from Manchester City. An option to buy in the region of £50million ($67.3m) will be included for a player who City bought from a British player record fee of £100million, on a six-year deal, in 2021 from Aston Villa. 'I'm over the moon to have signed for Everton. It's massive for me, honestly. This is a great club, with great fans,' Grealish told Everton media. 'As soon as I spoke to the manager, I knew there was only one place that I wanted to go. On social media, I've been flooded with messages from Everton supporters. That's another reason why I chose Everton.' The 29-year-old will wear the No. 18 shirt at Everton. 'There were other numbers but my two favourite English players ever are Wayne Rooney and Paul Gascoigne and I know they both wore number 18 here,' Grealish said. 'I spoke to Wayne before I came here and I mentioned that to him — about the number 18 — so I hope he's happy as well!' Grealish has won the Premier League three times with City, as well as the Champions League, FA Cup and the Club World Cup. He made 50 appearances in the 2022-23 campaign as City won the treble, starting every knockout game in the Champions League. Grealish made only 16 starts in all competitions last season and just seven in the Premier League. GO FURTHER Everton agree Jack Grealish loan deal from Manchester City Liverpool have only two fit central defenders with Joe Gomez currently sidelined. Captain Virgil van Dijk recently signed fresh terms with the club but there remains uncertainty over Ibrahima Konate's future with only a year left on his contract. Arne Slot's side also lost Jarell Quansah, who joined Bayer Leverkusen in a £35 million deal last month, and are yet to replace him. The Athletic reported on Tuesday that Liverpool are also interested in Parma centre-back Giovanni Leoni and are trying to persuade the defender to move to Anfield this summer. However, the club accepts that convincing him to leave Italy will be highly challenging. Getty Images Liverpool have held talks with Crystal Palace over a move for Marc Guehi. An offer is yet to be made for the England international, while an agreement would also need to be reached on the player side, with the 24-year-old seeking assurances over game time in a World Cup year. If he doesn't move this summer, Guehi is expected to leave as a free agent in the summer of 2025 when his contract expires as he has no intention of signing a new deal at Selhurst Park. He was pursued by Newcastle United in the summer of 2024, with Palace rejecting four offers, the final bid being worth up to £65million ($86.4m) including add-ons. Palace chairman Steve Parish said after the club's Community Shield victory over Liverpool that Guehi could have to be sold this summer. GO FURTHER Liverpool hold talks with Crystal Palace over Marc Guehi transfer Sunderland have completed the signing of defender Omar Alderete from Getafe on a four-year contract. The 28-year-old joins the newly promoted Premier League club after the two sides agreed a deal worth in the region of £10.4million ($13.4m) with a further £1m in add-ons. Alderete is Sunderland's 11th signing of the summer transfer window. The centre-back has also scored three goals in 27 appearances for Paraguay's national team. Regis Le Bris' side begin their Premier League campaign on Saturday at home to West Ham. Getty Images Derby County have lodged a bid of around £1.5 million to sign Blackburn Rovers captain Lewis Travis. The 27-year-old has entered into the final year of his contract but talks over a new deal have stalled and Derby are now trying to pounce. Rams head coach John Eustace managed Travis during his time at Blackburn. Travis, who has played more than 270 games for the club since moving from Liverpool in 2014, is open to a new adventure. Blackburn want to keep their best players at the club but will consider offers if they meet their valuation. Manager Valerien Ismael said: 'Every time we have to assess the players on a case-by-case basis. We have had some offers from clubs for our players, but they didn't want to leave or the offer was not right.' Derby, who stayed up by a point last season after promotion from League One in 2024, have had a busy summer. They have already signed Patrick Agyemang. Rhian Brewster and Danny Batth as well as bringing in Bobby Clark, Dion Sanderson, Owen Beck and David Ozoh on loan. Derby travel to West Bromwich Albion in the EFL Cup tonight while Blackburn take on Bradford City. Getty Images When the Championship season got under way over the weekend, one of the most talented young players in the country wasn't involved. England Under-21 international Tyler Dibling was not injured or suspended. Instead, the 19-year-old once said to have been valued at £100million was left out by new Southampton manager Will Still because he was 'not in a headspace' to feature. Dibling is the subject of intense interest from Everton, who have seen a couple of bids turned down, the latest being worth £40million ($54m) including add-ons. Dibling is keen to return to the top flight and has also earned admirers at Newcastle and Aston Villa, but his contract running until 2027 means the ball is in Southampton's court, who will not want to accept anything less than a premium price. The situation leaves Dibling at a career crossroads for the second time in his young career. 'Sometimes it's better to stay in an environment where you feel at home,' former Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl said in 2022. 'There's a reason you say the grass is not always greener somewhere else.' Will Hasenhuttl's words be prescient once more or will Dibling show he is ready to leave home? Getty Images You'll read thousands upon thousands of words about football this season and it's important to remember not to believe all of them. Example: Alexander Isak, April 2024: 'Of course I want to be here in the future. I came here for the project. I absolutely love playing here. I really feel at home.' Isak, March 2025: 'I've commented on my situation and my confidence in Newcastle several times. I've described how much I love the city and the club and how much I like it there. 'As usual, I don't think about the future. I just want to perform for Newcastle.' Isak, August 2025: Well, nothing as yet. Yep, no matter how incredibly happy a player says he is, no matter how outstanding the overall package is and no matter how recently they've signed a new contract, things will probably change in the near future. Getty Images Manager Oliver Glasner has called for at least two more signings after a 'passive' window. It does feel as though Palace require further reinforcements to provide proper strength in depth — and should any important players such as Eze, Guehi, or Mateta leave, then it will become even more essential. Palace's transfer activity has been hindered by all the uncertainty this summer. Prospective signings would have sought clarity and certainty before committing. It seems clear that Glasner will have to work with only a small number of additions to his existing squad. 'If we had four more players, I don't know what we could achieve, but it's not as simple as that,' Parish said. 'We have a lot of outgoings this year because we're paying a lot of transfer fees for players we already have. 'We'll do whatever we can... I'm aware we're in four competitions and it's not going to be easy. The amount of money we have isn't infinite.' Getty Images For some of Palace's key players who have been in demand this summer, playing in a third-tier European competition may not be especially attractive. For example, striker Jean-Philippe Mateta in particular is eager to play in the Champions League. And it could now prove more difficult to keep hold of Eberechi Eze and captain Marc Guehi, both of whom are likely to feel they should be showcasing their talents in Europe's most prestigious competition. Oliver Glasner did not rule out the departure of either player this summer in his pre-match Community Shield press conference, though as yet no Palace player has walked into the club and demanded a move on the back of the CAS decision. The extra travelling necessitated by the Conference League may put significant extra pressure on their Premier League performances. If they enjoy a deep run, which is plausible, that additional load will surely take its toll. Getty Images With Monday's news that Crystal Palace's appeal to CAS has been dismissed, and they will indeed play in the Conference League rather than the Europa League after being demoted, there was frustration within the club and its fanbase. Indeed, today the club said sporting merit was rendered 'meaningless' in a punchy statement which also took aim at what they perceived to be unfair and preferential treatment given to other clubs in a similar situation. So what does it mean for the south London side and several of their talented players linked with a move away this summer? Let's check in with Matt Woosnam to find out... As part of this summer's transfer coverage on The Athletic , in addition to breaking news, tactical analysis and in-depth reads, our Transfers TLDR series (you can read them all here) will bring you a quick guide to each of the key deals. Our writers will take you through a player's backstory in 100 words, what you should and shouldn't expect from them, plus their injury record. Wondering how your new signing will fit tactically? They answer that, too. So tuck in to all our latest TLDR profiles on the page above. For all clubs across the Premier League, there are clear issues in their current squad to resolve before the end of the summer transfer window. Whether it's contracts, wantaway stars, ongoing transfer sagas or players that teams just want to get shifted, there are moves which could be made to ease the stress levels for each manager or head coach. From squad trimming to trying to keep hold of star players — there is plenty of work still to be done. Read more about the work your team is targeting in the remainder of the window via the link below. GO FURTHER The biggest squad and transfer issue for your Premier League club to resolve as pre-season begins Getty Images This is an excellent piece of business from Spurs to tie Mikey Moore, one of the most exciting players to emerge from their academy in a few years, to a long-term deal. Moore became the youngest player to represent Spurs in the Premier League when he came off the bench against Manchester City in May 2024, aged 16 years and 277 days. Moore's progress was disrupted by a nasty virus last season, but he still earned a lot of first-team exposure. He made 19 appearances in all competitions, including three starts in the Premier League. The attacking midfielder scored his first senior goal in a 3-0 victory over Elfsborg in the Europa League. Game time was always going to be more difficult for Moore with Spurs competing in the Champions League this season and a loan move to Rangers was the right decision for his long-term development. Spurs will hope that he returns next summer ready to secure a spot in new head coach Thomas Frank's plans. Getty Images McAtee would tick one of the major boxes that Nuno Espirito Santo likes to see in his players — the ability to operate in more than one position. The 22-year-old has played many of his games on the right, but is also capable of operating as a number 10 or even as an orthodox midfielder, as a useful back-up option to talisman Morgan Gibbs-White. He would add another option on the flank, at a time when Forest are seeking to adjust to the departure of both Anthony Elanga (to Newcastle, £52million) and Ramon Sosa (to Palmeiras, £10million). More broadly, he fits the bill when it comes to the kind of player Forest like to sign — a young player who is already Premier League ready, but who is armed with the potential to further improve. McAtee is a highly regarded figure at City, where he scored seven goals in 27 appearances in all competitions last season, which was his first as a squad player for the club. Getty Images/The Athletic Well, let's take a look! Perhaps unsurprisingly, the traditional 'Big Six' (Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham) have spent the most, Crystal Palace (£2million) and Fulham (£0.4m) the least. In terms of fees coming in, Chelsea (£205.7m), Liverpool (£168.6m) and Bournemouth (£106.6m) have received nine-figure boosts to their funds are some significant sales. Getty Images Losing skipper Marc Guehi, who captained the side to their second trophy in four months by helping them beat Liverpool in the Community Shield on Sunday, would be a sizeable blow. Guehi, 25, has developed considerably in south London and is a key member of Oliver Glasner's robust defensive trio alongside Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards. His positioning, anticipation, mobility and game understanding are outstanding and have seen him lock down a starting place in Thomas Tuchel's England side too. For a medium-ranking Premier League side like Palace, though, losing a world-class player for nothing having received bids in the region of £65-70million last season would be extremely difficult to countenance. Hence their openness to selling him this summer for a lower but still reasonable fee of around £40-45m. That should allow them to secure a fine replacement, perhaps Ousmane Diomande of Sporting CP, without significantly weakening the team, which is an obvious concern for manager Oliver Glasner ahead of the club's first ever European campaign. Getty Images One of the biggest headlines yesterday was Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish admitting captain Marc Guehi may need to be moved on this summer. Guehi has one year remaining on the five-year deal he signed when joining from Chelsea in 2021 and has given no indication that he is prepared to renew his contract, meaning this summer is their last opportunity to cash in on him. Palace turned down bids of up to £65million for the 25-year-old from Newcastle United last season as they failed to meet the valuation they placed on the centre-back. Liverpool, who Palace defeated on penalties in the Community Shield on Sunday, are one of Guehi's suitors. But it is unclear whether they will meet the asking price for him. Parish, though, conceded that Palace do not have 'infinite money', and he is realistic about the possible need to sell Guehi in order to fund a rejuvenation of the squad.

India visit & T20 hope - 'belief' lifts Ireland
Outgoing Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutrom says a "sense of belief" has been key to the changing status of the sport in the country. The Englishman, who will leave the organisation this month, has been in the position since September 2006, and overseen elevation to full member status of the ICC, historic World Cup victories over Pakistan, England and West Indies, and the advent of professional contracts in the men's and women's game. "When I arrived, I think I was one of the very few people who did believe," he told BBC Sport NI's Gavin Andrews. "I think our players got it, I think they definitely saw the talent that was here and they believed - and you saw that from their performances on the pitch. "My job was probably to try to get Irish cricket not to think of itself as the 19th English county, but to think of itself, as it became soon after the end of the World Cup in 2007, as the 10th best country in the world." Plan aims to make cricket a 'major sport' in Ireland Irish government approves national cricket stadium While there have been more recent budgetary concerns and fixture cancellations, Deutrom believes there is an exciting future for his unnamed successor with attempts to host India next year, the joint staging of the 2030 T20 World Cup and, most importantly, approved plans for a 4,000-capacity permanent stadium. "The next five years - [In] 2026 we hope we can have India turning up. I'm going to be working on that over the next few weeks," he added. "Also 2027 is the first year of our new media rights deal and, 2028, cricket is returned to the Olympics after a long, long time. [In] 2029, the first ball bowled in our brand new international stadium in Dublin and, 2030, co-hosting the ICC T20 World Cup. "There's lots of skyscrapers on an annual basis to look forward to and, genuinely, to build in terms of opportunity. So if I was looking at that job anew, I'd say that is a job I'd love to do." 'You suddenly are bringing people to your home' Ireland cancelled visits from Australia in 2024 and Afghanistan this year, with Deutrom citing at the time that the prohibitive cost of temporary stadium infrastructure was a key factor in the decisions. As such, the plans for a permanent and dedicated home are crucial. The National Cricket Stadium and High Performance Centre, which will be located in the National Sports Campus in Dublin, is to include a main cricket oval with permanent seating for 4,000 spectators with the ability to accommodate additional temporary seating when required. There are also ambitions to upgrade the existing facilities at Stormont in Belfast too. "Operationally, suddenly it means hundreds of thousands [of euros] that we would otherwise spend on developing or building temporary infrastructure goes," added Deutrom. "So that is number one and number two, you have an asset you can [use] commercially. "Number three, I've always felt the lack of a stadium somehow marked out Irish cricket as a minnow sport. When we have a stadium, you are suddenly bringing people to your home."
