Liverpool reject £20m Doak 'offers' as EPL club interested

The National11 hours ago
The Anfield club rejected offers of around £20 million for the winger in January, claims The Athletic.
Leeds have now 'expressed interest', with Daniel Farke looking to add a winger to his squad as the Elland Road club return to the English Premier League.
Doak spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, where he caught the eye, scoring three goals and assisting seven in 24 games.

He also established himself in the Scotland national team towards the end of 2024, before injury prevented him from playing a part in his country's UEFA Nations League playoff with Greece and following friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein.
Back fit ahead of the new campaign, though, Doak impressed for Liverpool in a recent pre-season friendly against Athletic Club, playing just under an hour from the start.
With a year left on his contract with the English champions, it remains to be seen where Doak's future lies this summer.
The 19-year-old initially joined Liverpool from Celtic in 2022, after he became the third-youngest player in the Parkhead club's history, behind Karamoko Dembele and Jack Aitchison.

Arsenal transfer news: Eberechi Eze U-turn as Mikel Arteta warned over transfer error

Arsenal have enjoyed an active summer transfer window but still have more work to do in the market amid links to Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze and exits are still required Little over three weeks remain for Arsenal to act in the transfer window. The Gunners are looking to form a squad capable of winning the Premier League and have already been busy. ‌ The north Londoners have signed Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Cristhian Mosquera, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres already this summer. That has not stopped Mikel Arteta's side being linked to the likes of Eberechi Eze however. ‌ Outgoings are perhaps more likely. There is uncertainty over the likes of Fabio Vieira and Reiss Nelson, while Oleksandr Zinchenko and Leandro Trossard could yet stay after being widely linked with departures. ‌ Andrea Berta's first summer window has been a busy one, with new contracts agreed too. Ethan Nwaneri and Gabriel Magalhaes have both being tied down in recent weeks. Transfer error? Former Liverpool forward Dean Saunders believes Arsenal and Manchester United may have made an error by not 'taking a chance' on Darwin Nunez. The Gunners signed Viktor Gyokeres this summer, while the Red Devils look set to land Benjamin Sesko. ‌ Uruguay forward Nunez is set to move to the Saudi Pro League with Al-Hilal and is preparing to undergo a medical before completing a £46million move. Saunders has questioned the decision more teams have not looked at the Liverpool forward. "Nunez, he's up for grabs. Would you rather not have Nunez than Sesko and Gyokeres?' Saunders said on talkSPORT. "They paid a lot of money for them, and I thought, 'He's up for grabs.' I would take a chance on him." ‌ Saunders added: "He's got every finish in his locker, both feet, headers, he's gone round the keeper, he's slotted the keeper, he's chipped the keeper, he's scored from distance. "We've seen him do every finish, but somehow he manages to conjure up a miss – I don't know how many times he hit the post and the crossbar last season. There's definitely a player in there, you look at him and think, 'What a handful he is to play against.' "He scored a lot of goals for Benfica in his second season and a couple of seasons ago he got 20-odd for Liverpool. I wouldn't be surprised if Nunez goes somewhere else and scores 20 goals next season." ‌ Eze latest Arsenal are less likely to sign Eberechi Eze after Ethan Nwaneri signed a new contract. The Gunners are conscious of leaving room to provide the midfielder with playing time and ensuring a pathway for young star Max Dowman in the coming years, per Discussions took place earlier in the transfer window around Crystal Palace star Eze. If the Gunners had not been successful in extending Nwaneri's stay, the requirement to sign a central player in Eze's mould would have been high on the agenda but now the north London side's more pressing needs could be elsewhere. ‌ Arsenal in talks Brighton are in discussions with Arsenal over another loan deal for Lionesses hero Michelle Agyemang. The 19-year-old attacker, was the standout young player of Euro 2025 with her impact from the bench for England, was on looan with the Seagulls last term. Arsenal are delighted with the player's progress and are keen to ensure Agyemang continues to play regular football. The teen hit five goals in 22 appearances at Brighton last season and the south coast side are making good progress in negotiations for another loan agreement. Brighton are currently regarded as frontrunners to re-sign Agyemang as the Gunners look to manage her development.

Tommy Fleetwood one off the pace after opening round in Memphis

Fleetwood's seven-under-par round in the first of the season-ending FedEx Cup events left him trailing American Akshay Bhatia in Memphis. English duo Harry Hall and Justin Rose were alongside American Bud Cauley in a tie for third after opening with 64s. Scotland's Robert MacIntyre and England's Matt Fitzpatrick are five shots off the pace, alongside world number one Scottie Scheffler who played his first tournament round since winning the Open at Royal Portrush. Checking in after Round 1 @FedExChamp 🔥 1. Akshay Bhatia (-8)2. Tommy Fleetwood (-7)T3. Harry Hall (-6)T3. Justin RoseT3. Bud Cauley6. Si Woo Kim (-5)T7. Maverick McNealy (-4)T7. Ben GriffinT7. Russell HenleyT7. Rickie FowlerT7. Collin Morikawa — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) August 7, 2025 Bhatia eagled the 16th hole and closed with two birdies to edge ahead with an opening 62, Fleetwood also finishing strongly with four closing birdies. 'I hit the ball so well off the tee that I was always giving myself an opportunity,' said Fleetwood, who found 13 of 14 fairways. Rose built his round on five birdies in six holes around the turn before dropping a shot on the 13th. Only the top 70 in the season-long FedEx rankings have qualified for the event – although Rory McIlroy opted not to play this week – with the top 50 after the tournament reaching next week's BMW Championship. The top 30 after that will contest the Tour Championship in pursuit of a 10million dollar (£7.4million) bonus.
