Wolves release TEN players including Wrexham-linked former European champion and Champions League runner-up
WOLVES have announced TEN players will leave the club this summer. Skipper Nelson Semedo is among those to be offered a new deal at Molineux. 2 But Pablo Sarabia and Craig Dawson are heading out of the exit door. Sarabia, 33, joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2023. The Spaniard was a Champions League runner-up with PSG in 2020 and brought flair to Wolves on the flanks. He scored eight goals in 77 games, twice winning the club's Goal of the Season award. Sarabia confirmed last week he was to leave the Midlands after just over two years. He wrote on Instagram: "Two and a half seasons ago, I had the chance to become part of the Wolves family and experience a league as competitive as the @premierleague. "It's been an exciting challenge, and even though we went through tough moments, we reached our goals — thanks to the unity between the club and the fans. "Now it's time to start a new chapter, taking with me some amazing memories from a club that my family and I will never forget. " "Wishing you all the best for the future. Once a Wolf, always a Wolf. Thank you @wolves." Dawson has been linked with a move to ambitious Championship side Wrexham following their consecutive promotions. The ex- West Ham defender played 61 times in the gold of Wolves. Matheus Cunha gifts Wolves team-mates Joao Gomes and Andre a Rolex ahead of Man Utd transfer And reports suggest Wrexham have tabled a contract offer to the former Conference League champion. Wolves also announced eight players from their youth setup will be released. Stan Amos, Justin Hubner, Testimony Igbinoghene, Aaron Keto Diyawa, Lucas Kibrya, Filozofe Mabete, Josh Nyakudya and Matty Whittingham are all free to find new clubs. The club have also chosen not to take up the option in Carlos Forbs' loan deal, with the forward returning to Ajax. It comes after last season's top scorer Matheus Cunha moved to Manchester United for £62.5million. The Brazilian looks set to be joined in leaving by Rayan Ait-Nouri, who is a target for Manchester City.

Ange Postecoglou was right man to lead Tottenham forward
The temptation is to say that now Levy will be under pressure. That this time he has raised the stakes. Except that was said every time he pushed a manager out the door. Whether it was Pochettino after his transformational effect on the club, or Mourinho six days before a Carabao Cup final. In that respect nothing ever changes – Levy just sails onwards. He makes what he will describe in a statement as a hard but necessary decision and then a few years later he says the same. Postecoglou gambled everything on winning the Europa League – not just his reputation but the league season too. He did that as injuries engulfed him and also amid the strong sense that alternative coaches were being sounded out. Indeed, there was not a significant word of support from Levy in the crucial final weeks, and that too has an effect on a manager and the relationship with his players and the club's support. Yet Postecoglou pulled it off. Imagine what might be possible with some solidarity. Levy hedged his bets, even dragging out his decision until 16 days after the final in Bilbao and was generally expected to go into next week until Telegraph Sport broke the news of Postecoglou's departure on Friday. By then, with not a word from the club, it had become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The manager had been damaged by the club's failure to back him, and therefore the manager had to go. There feels like change coming at Spurs, with the departure of Donna Cullen – the director who was Levy's closest aide at the club. Vinai Venkatesham has been dropped in as the new chief executive. Yet while Levy is in place one can only assume that the same man is running the club. That is, unless those who control Joe Lewis's majority stake feel differently about it. For Postecoglou, there is a lot to be said for going out this way – with the Europa League in his grasp, and the gratitude of the supporters. He will find himself considerably wealthier on Saturday morning and also with a reputation enhanced. He answered a lot of the questions about his tactical flexibility in the last rounds of the competition and especially the final when United failed to hide their weaknesses as well as Spurs did theirs. Whatever the next Spurs manager achieves, he cannot win the club's first trophy in 17 years. Postecoglou will be due a slice of any future success – having broken the streak and changed the sense of what is possible. His successor will also know that the key to longevity at the club can be confusing. Is it finishing in the Premier League top five places to qualify for the Champions League? Is it winning knockout competitions? Or is it winning knockout competitions that earn qualification for the Champions League? Postecoglou saw Spurs' first trophy in 17 years as the most effective agent for change and went all out to win it. For Levy, one suspects league position is everything. Now he has the benefit of Uefa's Champions League funds he certainly has a better hand to deal to Postecoglou's successor. Although the next man will know that, when things start to go badly, he will be on his own.

Manchester United 'pull ahead in race to sign Viktor Gyokeres' - with 'Sir Jim Ratcliffe offering Ruben Amorim a significant transfer boost'
Manchester United have reportedly moved one step closer in their bid to sign Viktor Gyokeres this summer. Ruben Amroim's side are currently reeling from their worst Premier League campaign in the competition's history, with the Portuguese determined to increase his side's firepower in the transfer window. The disastrous season was compounded by the club's defeat against Tottenham in the Europa League final last month. Throughout the campaign both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failed to inspire confidence leading the line at Old Trafford. As a result Amorim has wasted little time in his search for a suitable frontman this summer. Former Brighton striker Gyokeres has long been touted as United's top transfer target, with the Swede having previously worked under Amorim at Sporting Lisbon where he has enjoyed a prolific spell. Gyokeres has been linked with moves to several clubs across Europe this summer, with Arsenal said to be keeping tabs on him in their own search for a striker. The financial impact United's failure to qualify for European football initially looked to severely damaged their hopes of securing the 27-year-old. However, according to a report from The Sun, the funds to sign Gyokeres this summer may have actually come from a surprising source. According to the report, Sir Jim Ratcliffe's ruthless cost-cutting measures at United have opened up the coffers for Amorim to spend this summer. United's recently released quarterly accounts from the club revealed that the club's operating expenses have dropped by over £40million. Gyokeres, who netted 39 league goals from just 31 starts in the Portuguese top flight last season, reportedly has a release clause of £85million. However, Amorim could ultimately pay significantly less in his bid to reunite with Gyokeres as Sporting are said to be willing to consider bids in the region of £60million to allow their star man to depart.
