-Credit:Reach Publishing Services Limited
Peterborough United have confirmed Kwame Poku will depart the club at the end of his contract this summer.
The winger is in demand after a superb season for Posh where he provided 20 goal contributions in 27 League One matches. Poku earned a place in the League One Team of the Year for his efforts in 2024./25.
Birmingham City have a long-standing interest in Poku and he was instrumental in Peterborough's 2-0 win over Blues in the Vertu Trophy final last month.

Poku is expected to ply his trade in the Championship next season after three solid campaigns in League One and Peterborough have now confirmed that he will move on.
Midfielder Hector Kyprianou, who scored in the Wembley final against Blues, and striker Ricky-Jade Jones will also depart Peterborough. A club statement said: "As previously communicated, midfielder Hector Kyprianou, winger Kwame Poku and striker Ricky-Jade Jones will all depart at the end of their contracts.
"The club held discussions with all three about extending their stays in PE2 but they indicated they wanted to move on and they leave with our thanks for their efforts over their time at the club."
Due to the fact Poku won't turn 24 until August, Peterborough will be entitled to compensation for a player they signed from Colchester United four years ago.
Peterborough have also released striker Kabongo Tshimanga, a player Blues tried to sign back in the summer of 2022. A deal was agreed with Tshimanga's club Chesterfield only to fall through after an issue popped up in the medical.

Chelsea player ratings as Palmer and Sancho star in Conference League final triumph over Real Betis
Chelsea completed an impressive 4-1 victory over Real Betis in the Conference League final to claim a first trophy of the Enzo Maresca era. The Blues were pretty dismal in the first half in Wroclaw and deservedly trailed 1-0 but were a side transformed after the break. Cole Palmer's creativity created goals for Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson before the impressive Jadon Sancho came off the bench to add a third and Moises Caicedo completed the victory with a fourth in injury time. Advertisement It means the Blues become the first team in history to have won every single major European trophy, as the Conference League crown was added to previous successes in the Champions League, Europa League and European Cup Winners' Cup. Having already secured Champions League qualification for next season by coming fourth in the Premier League, this win completes a pretty impressive first campaign for Maresca and a young squad may well be able to use this as a springboard moving forward. Here's how the Chelsea players rated as they completed the European trophy set with Conference League victory over Betis: Filip Jorgensen – 6 Couldn't do anything about Betis's goal and then made a good save during the Spanish side's dominant start to the match. Looked comfortable enough on the ball and wasn't hugely tested beyond those early moments. Advertisement Malo Gusto – 3 Constantly inverted into central midfield alongside Caicedo and Enzo, leaving Chelsea exposed with a three at the back, and the impressive Ezzalzouli subsequently made hay down Chelsea's right early on. That included scoring the opening after Gusto gave the ball away and he was subbed off at half-time for Reece James. A largely dismal day. Malo Gusto struggled in Wroclaw (AP) Trevoh Chalobah – 6 Part of the defence run ragged in the first half and caught out by Betis's lively forwards on a couple of occasions. Was tested less in the second half as Chelsea were largely on top and that was probably a good thing. Looked decent enough on the ball. Advertisement Benoit Badiashile – 4 Like Chalobah, gets pinged for being part of the defence that were given the runaround early on and then got himself booked on 55 minutes before being subbed off on the hour mark. Marc Cucurella – 7 On the left side of the three created by Gusto inverting into the midfield, he looked as uncomfortable as his defensive partners when Ezzalzouli, Isco and Antony were causing havoc. Showed ambition when playing the ball forward though, especially in the second half, and helped keep Antony quiet after the early issues. Enzo Fernandez –8 Wanted to drive Chelsea forward from a central role and although he was quiet in the first half, popped up with the vital equaliser as he drifted between two defenders and headed home Palmer's sumptuous cross. Finals are about moments and he produced a key one. Enzo Fernandez scored the vital equaliser for Chelsea (Getty) Moises Caicedo – 8 The be-masked midfielder has quietly had a good season for Chelsea and performed his traditional role of tidying up/doing the dirty work here. Gave away free-kicks in key positions on a couple of occasions in the first half but helped steady the ship after the break as the Blues began to thrive. Got himself on the scoresheet with a superb injury-time strike, starting the move, continuing his run forward and thumping home. Advertisement Pedro Neto – 4 Largely quiet although did fire a 35th-minute shot well over the bar. Showed flickers of life early in the second half but subbed off on 60 minutes with Jadon Sancho coming on as Maresca sought a spark and the Man United loanee completely outshone him. Needs more end product next season. Cole Palmer – 9 Easily the man of the match. More capable of a defining moment of quality than anyone else in the squad and produced it for the equaliser as he floated a stunning cross on to Enzo's head. Looked dangerous every time he touched the ball in the second half and brilliantly created the second goal as well, turning his man inside out before dinking another glorious cross for Jackson to force home. The creative heart who won the Blues this final before receiving a standing ovation when subbed off with a couple of minutes remaining. Cole Palmer inspired Chelsea's comeback (AP) Noni Madueke – 7 Keen to run at opposite number Sabaly whenever he got on the ball and won a couple of corners in the first half before showing more verve and spark after the break. The goals came from Palmer's creativity and Sancho's quality finish but Madueke also looked threatening. Advertisement Nicolas Jackson – 7 Led the press effectively enough early on but was starved of service in the first half and did little with what he did get. Livelier after the break as Chelsea improved and was in the right place at the right time to score the goal that put them 2-1 up, using his shoulder/chest to force Palmer's pinpoint cross home. Not pretty but he'd made the perfect run to be there. Then made a complete hash of a one on one, with the heaviest touch you will ever see to highlight the frustration Chelsea fans have with him. Hobbled off with 10 minutes left Substitutes Reece James for Gusto, 45 – 8 Answered the half-time SOS to replace the struggling Gusto and Chelsea immediately looked more fluent. He put a good cross into the box straight away, saw a shot deflected wide and generally seemed to spark his side into life. Reece James's introduction helped turn things round for Chelsea (PA) Jadon Sancho for Neto, 61 – 8 Brought on for Neto to try and make an impact and did exactly that. Constantly ran at the Betis defence and curled in a superb third goal after shifting it on to his right foot that sealed victory for Maresca's men. Assisted Caicedo for the cherry-on-top fourth for good measure. Advertisement Levi Colwill for Badiashile, 61 – 7 Chelsea's best passer in defence and brought on for the yellow-carded Badiashile as much for that attacking ability as for as his defensive prowess. Did exactly what was asked. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for Jackson, 80 – 7 Got the assist for Sancho's goal after he aggressively drove forward. Perhaps a bit lucky that his pass made it to Sancho but deserved that fortune because of the ambition of the run. Marc Guiu for Palmer, 87 – N/A Simply brought on to waste time and so that Palmer could receive a standing ovation from Chelsea fans. Not enough time to make an impact.

Report: £4million Liverpool Defender Set to Join EFL Championship Side
Liverpool Defender Nat Phillips Attracting Championship Suitors as Exit Looms Liverpool centre-back Nat Phillips is once again at the centre of summer transfer speculation, with The Athletic reporting that the Reds are fielding 'strong interest' in the 28-year-old from Championship clubs. Chief among the interested parties is West Bromwich Albion, with Derby County also making their intentions clear to retain the defender after his successful loan stint. Advertisement Despite some reports mistakenly suggesting Phillips would be a free agent on July 1, his contract actually runs until 2026. However, with no place in Arne Slot's Premier League-winning plans, Liverpool appear ready to sanction a permanent departure. Phillips' stock remains high in the second tier following an impressive season at Pride Park. Derby boss John Eustace summed up the club's stance simply: 'We'd like to keep him for sure.' West Brom and Derby Lead Transfer Chase West Brom's interest is particularly significant. The Midlands club finished ninth last season and have turned to Ryan Mason in a bid to lead a renewed push for promotion. With Semi Ajayi released and defensive reinforcement a priority, Phillips has emerged as a prime candidate. Photo: IMAGO Liverpool's stance on a transfer fee could prove pivotal. Last summer, they rejected a £4 million bid from Trabzonspor, reportedly holding out for a figure closer to £8 million. Whether they remain as firm this time around could determine whether Derby, West Brom or any other suitor can complete a deal. Long-Term Questions Over Contract Strategy Phillips' current contract was awarded after his pivotal role in Liverpool's injury-ravaged 2020-21 season. With all senior centre-backs out, he and Rhys Williams helped the Reds secure Champions League qualification, a feat many thought impossible at the time. Advertisement However, both defenders were given long-term deals that now appear overly optimistic in hindsight. As The Athletic observed, 'the decision to hand the pair new deals… has been criticised as overly loyal.' Loan spells at Bournemouth, Celtic, Cardiff and Derby have brought in modest fees for Liverpool — including £1.75 million from Bournemouth alone — and helped offset wages. But the reality is Phillips has remained a peripheral figure. Opportunity for Stability and Regular Football Now 28, Phillips is at a stage in his career where regular football and stability outweigh the prestige of a Premier League contract. He has never agitated for a move, yet the club's strategy has kept him in limbo far too long. A permanent move this summer would serve all parties best. Advertisement While Liverpool prepare to wave goodbye to seven academy players in June, they are also expected to listen to offers for other fringe talents including Calvin Ramsay, Owen Beck and Kaide Gordon. After years of short-term solutions, Phillips deserves clarity over his future — and clubs like West Brom and Derby are offering him exactly that. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis From a fan's perspective, there's admiration and sympathy in equal measure for Nat Phillips. He's never been the most glamorous name on the team sheet, but his performance during the 2020-21 crisis remains etched in Liverpool folklore. That season, alongside Rhys Williams, he epitomised heart and commitment. 'Against the odds' doesn't even come close. Advertisement The frustration lies in how he's been handled since. Loan after loan, each productive in its own right, yet never leading to a real breakthrough or permanent exit. It's felt like career purgatory. At 28, he deserves better. Financially, Liverpool have eked out value through loan fees and wage coverage. But there's a bigger conversation to be had about how fringe players are managed. Holding out for £8 million last summer may have been too rigid, and could well have deterred suitors. Under Arne Slot's modern, progressive system, there's simply no room for Phillips. His aerial strength and old-school defending have value in the Championship, and both West Brom and Derby would be lucky to have him. The time has come for the club to do right by a loyal servant. Let him go, price reasonably, and wish him well. He's earned it.

Cardiff hold advanced manager talks with Barry-Murphy
Cardiff City have held advanced talks with former Manchester City academy coach Brian Barry-Murphy as they close in on naming a new manager. The 46-year-old Leicester City assistant is now the leading contender for the vacancy at the League One club. Advertisement Former Oxford United boss Des Buckingham has also been in the frame with admirers among the Bluebirds' hierarchy. The development follows setbacks in attempts to land Charlton Athletic's Nathan Jones, while Aaron Ramsey has also appeared to rule himself out of contention. Wales captain Ramsey had taken temporary charge as Cardiff were relegated from the Championship last month, Omer Riza having been sacked with three games of the season remaining. But while it is not clear if a final decision has been made, Barry-Murphy is now the frontrunner to land a first senior manager's position since leaving Rochdale in 2021. Advertisement He would become the Bluebirds' ninth manager in four years as they prepare to play in the third tier for the first time since 2003. The Irishman has been on Cardiff's radar for some time having been under consideration to replace Mick McCarthy in 2021. Cardiff had been criticised by fans – including the club's Supporters' Trust – for the prolonged process in finding a new manager. Responding in a statement, director Steve Borley said: "While initially the plan was to have the manager, and his staff, in place before now, the correct due diligence, however long it took, was essential to the ongoing success of the club. This is one of the most important appointments in Cardiff City's recent history. Advertisement "We've been immensely impressed by the standard of those who wish to lead our football club. We are excited to share a further positive update soon regarding the appointment of a new management team once the necessary negotiations have been concluded." Barry-Murphy is a former midfielder with Cork City, Preston North End, Sheffield Wednesday, Bury and Rochdale, becoming player-coach at the latter in 2014 at the age of 35. He succeeded Keith Hill as manager in 2019, winning praise for the side's style of play and work with homegrown talent despite the team's relegation to League Two in 2021. Barry-Murphy resigned from the job to take to take up the role at Manchester City's academy, succeeding future Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca and winning two youth titles, coaching the likes of Cole Palmer, Oscar Bobb and Romeo Lavia while working under Pep Guardiola. Advertisement After quitting the Etihad three years later, Barry-Murphy went on to be named as part of Ruud van Nistelrooy's backroom staff at Leicester in December 2024. But Barry-Murphy had been keen for a frontline role of his own and could now be handed the challenge of returning Cardiff to the Championship. Buckingham, who guided Oxford to League One promotion in May 2024, has also held talks with Cardiff. The 40-year-old is currently without a club having left the Kassam Stadium in December following a poor run of results. Buckingham, who previously coached in New Zealand and managed City Football Group clubs Melbourne City and Mumbai City, had previously been under consideration by the Football Association of Wales (FAW) before the appointment of Craig Bellamy as national boss. Advertisement Both Barry-Murphy and Buckingham were on a shortlist of around six names compiled by a specially formed sub-committee, with owner Vincent Tan having a final say on the appointment. Charlton's Jones, a former Cardiff youth player and a boyhood supporter of the club, had been a leading contender. But Cardiff were left frustrated in their hopes of landing the Welshman after he led the Addicks to League One promotion via the play-offs, signing a new five-year deal after initial approaches were rebuffed. Ramsey – whose playing contract at Cardiff expires at the end of the month – had been seemingly close to the job at one stage, but now looks set to continue his career on the pitch. Advertisement Former Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt is also thought to have been interviewed for the role.
