'It didn't work out' - Vente leaves Hibs for 'significant fee'
Dylan Vente's time at Hibernian did not work out as planned, says head coach David Gray, as the striker seals a permanent move away to Eredivisie side SC Heerenveen for a "significant fee".The 26-year-old's arrival at Easter Road for a "notable fee" two years ago was described by the Leith club as part of a "significant investment in the playing squad".But the forward went on to play just 43 games, scoring 11 goals, during his time at Hibs.Vente spent the majority of last season on loan PEC Zwolle in the Dutch top flight and netted an impressive tally of 13 from 30 Eredivisie matches.On his departure, Hibs boss Gray said: "Dylan performed well in the Eredivisie with PEC Zwolle last season and felt more comfortable back in his homeland, playing football with a smile on his face. "His time at Hibs didn't quite work out the way we'd all planned, but I'd like to thank him for all his hard work and hope he goes on to achieve his ambitions and full potential."Hibs sporting director Malky Mackay added: "There was a lot of interest in Dylan this summer after his performances last season, and he had a clear desire to continue playing and enjoying his football in the Eredivisie."We had to make sure we got the right deal for Hibernian, and after a number of conversations, we're happy with the deal we've got for him."

Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Onana to REJECT move to French giants, Mbeumo makes ‘U-TURN', Italians eye Sancho move
MANCHESTER UNITED are in for a crucial summer of transfers at Old Trafford. Andre Onana is set to reject interest from Monaco and is keen to establish himself as the No1 at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Red Devils target Bryan Mbeumo has reportedly made a U-TURN on his future plans, with the Brentford man favouring a switch to Spurs over Utd this summer. Elsewhere, Juventus and Napoli are said to be interested in a move for Jadon Sancho. 20th Jun 2025, 11:05 By Alex Smith New striker target Man Utd are reportedly showing an interest in Genk striker Tolu Arokodare. The Nigerian, who stands at 6ft 6in tall, scored 21 goals in 40 Belgian Pro League matches last season. He is seen as a cheaper option with Genk supposedly open to accepting a £20m fee. Ruben Amorim wants a more physical presence up top. 20th Jun 2025, 10:20 By Alex Smith Onana to stay? Man Utd are not desperate to sell Andre Onana this summer. Reports have emerged that claim he is part of Ruben Amorim's plans for next season. However, if a good enough offer came in then the goalkeeper is not considered "untouchable". SunSport exclusively revealed last month that Onana is keen to fight for his place and prove critics wrong after high-profile errors. 20th Jun 2025, 09:33 By Alex Smith Palhinha's return Joao Palhinha could return to the Premier League just a year after leaving Fulham for Bayern Munich in a £47m switch. The Portuguese defensive midfielder struggled for minutes at Bayern, starting just six league matches. Palhinha, 29, has held talks with chiefs in Bavaria and is now seeking a move this summer. Man Utd could look to explore the possibility of a loan deal. He is known to Ruben Amorim as he managed him at Sporting Lisbon. 20th Jun 2025, 08:45 By Alex Smith Garna go? Man Utd are hoping a bidding war drives the price up for Alejandro Garnacho. Ruben Amorim is happy to sell him this summer as he has question marks over whether the Argentine suits his style of play. Napoli, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Tottenham have all been tipped for a move. The Red Devils want to see the first offers come in at around £50m. 20th Jun 2025, 08:00 By Laurence Ryan Mason Mount to Villa According to reports this morning, Mason Mount could be set to leave behind Old Trafford this summer. The Champions League winner has struggled for fitness since he left Chelsea for Utd. Reports suggest that Villa are interested in acquiring Mount from United, as they prepare for a season in the Europa League. Mount had put together a good run at the end of last season, but his wages make him a player United could benefit financially from offloading. By Laurence Ryan Mbeumo HUGE blow According to reports, Bryan Mbeumo has made a HUGE decision on his future. The Brentford man has made a 'U-TURN' on his future, and would prefer a move to Spurs over Utd, should both sides meet Brentford's asking price. The winger has been linked to Utd for a while now, but Thomas Frank joining Spurs has given him a lot to think about. Tottenham also have UCL to offer, so Utd could be set to miss out on ANOTHER target, having already missed out on Liam Delap. 20th Jun 2025, 06:00 By Henry Tomlinson Branthwaite contract Manchester United target Jarrad Branthwaite is reportedly in talks with Everton over a new contract. Sky Sports have claimed that manager David Moyes is keen to cement the defender's future at the club. He has previously had interest from Tottenham and Manchester City. 20th Jun 2025, 03:00 By Henry Tomlinson Rashford blow Marcus Rashford could be set to miss out on a dream move to Barcelona. The Manchester United star is believed to be holding out on a move to the LaLiga giants. However, Barcelona are closing in on the signing of Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao. Should the left-winger arrive at the Nou Camp then it could leave Rashford in limbo. 19th Jun 2025, 00:01 By Henry Tomlinson Not so super A supercomputer has crunched the numbers ahead of the new Prem season. And without a host of signings, it looks like another tough campaign for United and Ruben Amorim. The data shows United sat back in 9th – albeit an improvement on last year's 15th-placed finish. 19th Jun 2025, 23:25 By Henry Tomlinson Garnacho race Manchester United are reportedly hoping a bidding war erupts for Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine is keen to seek pastures new this summer and the club are happy to cash in. The likes of Napoli, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Tottenham have all been tipped with an interest. It is expected that the first bids will be in the region of £50million. 19th Jun 2025, 22:40 By Henry Tomlinson Martinez update Manchester United are reportedly getting closer to a deal that would see Emiliano Martinez move to Old Trafford. The goalkeeper would provide very strong competition and probably usurp Andre Onana as the No.1 at the club. Reports have claimed that Martinez is "willing to join" Man United which can kickstart negotiations with Aston Villa. 19th Jun 2025, 21:50 By Henry Tomlinson Antony stance revealed Antony and Manchester United are both reportedly keen on sealing a permanent transfer this summer. GiveMeSport have claimed that all parties want the Brazilian out of Old Trafford. It is also suggested that the Red Devils do not want to give any favour to Real Betis in allowing them another loan deal.
