Transfer news live: Arsenal eye Eze after Gyokeres medical, Liverpool target Isak plus Ekitike, Man United want Rios
Arsenal 's negotiations for Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres had stalled due to a difference in valuation and terms, though the Gunners are now in the process of completing a move for the Sweden striker after a breakthrough in negotiations. It has been similar news regarding Noni Madueke too, with the Chelsea winger undergoing his medical over the weekend.
Tottenham's window sprung into life last week with a deal for West Ham's Mohammed Kudus, though Nottingham Forest are considering legal action against them over what they believe could be an illegal approach for Morgan Gibbs-White.
Manchester United continue to focus on a deal for Bryan Mbeumo after securing Matheus Cunha from Wolves, though there remains plenty of focus on outgoings as Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho near the exit door.

Revealed: England international among group of SIX players put up for sale by Man City as Pep Guardiola eyes summer clearout
Manchester City are willing to part ways defender John Stones after adding the England international to a list of potential sales. According to The Athletic, Stones is one of six players who could be on the way out of the Etihad Stadium, either on loan or permanent deals. Ilkay Gundogan, Nico O'Reilly, Mateo Kovacic, Claudio Echeverri and Oscar Bobb complete the list, although the latter is believed to be unlikely to leave having missed the entirety of last season through injury. Should a sale materialise, Stones' possible departure would mark the end of a nine-year stint at the club. He has made 277 appearances so far for Pep Guardiola 's side, scoring 19 goals. However, injuries limited him last season to just 11 Premier League games, with foot and hamstring issues flaring up. In January, City signed another defender in Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens, providing competition for Stones. Gundogan, another long-term City player up for sale, has previously said that he is happy to stay in Manchester. During the Club World Cup, the German international said: 'I have one more year left on my contract and I'm very happy here – I think everybody knows that. 'I am enjoying my football. I still believe I have several years in me at the highest level by taking good care of myself.'

140 job factory proposal in North Wales submitted to planners
Proposals are in for a major new factory in North Wales that would create 140 jobs. Knauf Insulation is behind the £170m plans for a manufacturing unit at Shotton, Deeside, which would be its second site in the region. It plans to take in 120,000 tonnes of raw materials per year – basalt, slag and recycled rock wool insulation and, using an electric melting furnace, turn that into 100,000 tonnes of rock mineral wool (RMW) insulation. This will then be used in housing and industrial insulation. Knauf has submitted a scoping opinion request to Flintshire council ahead of an Environmental Impact Assessment. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox The report said: 'The raw materials and recycled materials will be delivered to the site via heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and stored in designated areas before being milled and reduced in size and combined in specific proportions within the batch plant before being processed and melted. An electric melting furnace will be used to melt the batch and produce molten rock minerals known as 'melt'. The melt is then spun into fibres which are then formed, cured and cooled to produce various RMW insulation forms. 'The RMW is then cut and packaged to meet customer and product requirements.' The new site would include two 70 metre chimney stacks and a third smaller emergency stack. As well as direct jobs on site Knauf has estimated the site will generate around 400 jobs in the wider UK supply chain and generate hundreds of jobs during the construction phase. The company said it will work proactively to provide local employment opportunities and to enable access to training where possible. Neil Hargreaves, managing director of Knauf Insulation Northern Europe, said: 'Knauf Group has a proud history of manufacturing in Wales and this project aligns with the Welsh and UK Government's commitment to sustainability and the industrial vision for North Wales and Deeside. Using UK-first SAF technology, the new factory will produce non-combustible, low embodied carbon, recyclable rock mineral wool insulation to support the need for safer, more energy efficient and sustainable buildings.' Knauf Insulation is the UK's largest insulation manufacturer. Founded in 1979 as a US subsidiary of German building materials giant Knauf Group, the firm employs more than 6,000 people worldwide, including 600 at its three UK manufacturing plants in Cwmbran, St Helens and Queensferry. Ken Skates, cabinet secretary for transport and North Wales, said: 'The plans will be a major investment in the area and are a testament to the skills and facilities we have here.'

'Relentless Sweden deserve more recognition'
England captain Leah Williamson says Euro 2025 quarter-final opponents Sweden are "relentless" at major tournaments and "deserve a little bit more recognition".Sarina Wiegman's side finished runners-up in Group D, while Sweden won all three group matches to finish top of Group C and set up Thursday's match (20:00 BST).4-1 with an impressive performance in their last match and conceded just one goal in the group England and France, they are the only nations to have reached the quarter-finals in all five major tournaments since aside from their 4-0 loss to England in the Euro 2022 semi-finals, Sweden have won six of their past seven games in the competition."Sweden's previous results at tournaments are incredible. They are relentless when it comes to tournament football," said Williamson. "Maybe disrespectful is too strong a word, but I do think they deserve a little bit more recognition. "When you have a team who work for each other like Sweden, then you don't need to necessarily have a crazy standout threat because everyone plays their roles."They are hard to prepare for in that sense. The discipline for them all to complete their jobs on the pitch makes them a dangerous side." 'Stina is an incredibly powerful footballer' While Williamson believes there are no standout players in a strong Sweden side, she is very familiar with the threat Arsenal team-mate Stina Blackstenius opened the scoring with a composed finish in the win over Germany, and netted in their 3-0 victory against 29-year-old also came off the bench to score the only goal as Arsenal beat Barcelona in the Women's Champions League final in May."Stina is an incredibly powerful footballer. She's very intelligent with her runs. She's a hard player to play against in that respect," said Williamson. "We were celebrating her success at Arsenal - but not so much now! She's a great player and she has been for many years now. Her experience speaks for itself."It's different [to] playing each other in training with restrictions. It's rare that I get to play against Stina in this setting. I enjoy it, and I like Stina. "It's tough to remove all of that. You don't want to focus on it too much and there's lots of things that come into play when you play against a team-mate, but I think I've known Stina long enough that I know who she is and it's time to focus on us."
