Hearts are looking to sign a new goalkeeper before the transfer window closes and have made enquiries about several potential targets. The Edinburgh club are planning another signing to compete for the No.1 position with Zander Clark, as both Craig Gordon and Ryan Fulton are now injured. Gordon was first choice in goal last season but the 42-year-old is sidelined with a nerve complaint in his shoulder which arose in May. Clark, 33, was promoted as Gordon's deputy for the new campaign with Fulton as back-up. However, Fulton is now out with a torn groin muscle suffered last Friday. Medical scans suggest he will be absent for between three and four months.

Management are keen to recruit stronger competition for the No.1 role before the transfer window closes on 1 September. Enquiries have been made to a number of clubs, including Everton about their reserve keeper Harry Tyrer. Officials at the English Premier League side are open to letting the 23-year-old leave either on loan or permanently, although he is just one of many names on Hearts' shortlist. Various English Football League clubs are also keen on Tyrer. Blackpool, Plymouth Argyle, Burton Albion and Stevenage have all been credited with interest, while Hearts are looking at him as potentially their 10th summer signing. The nine recruits brought to Tynecastle since the end of last season are Norwegian right-back Christian Borchgrevink, Greek winger Alexandros Kyziridis, Portuguese forward Claudio Braga, Irish midfielder Oisin McEntee, Belgian striker Elton Kabangu, Scottish centre-back Stuart Findlay, Albanian winger Sabah Kerjota, Icelandic midfielder Tomas Magnusson and Burkinabe forward Pierre Landry Kabore. Transfers in and out ahead of deadline day Hearts are keen to trim the size of their squad if they can before the end of the month. Adding another goalkeeper would increase numbers but, with Gordon and Fulton missing for long periods, the process of finding another keeper is underway. The club will not rush into a decision on any new recruit and are currently looking at a host of different options.

Hearts are looking to recover from last weekend's Premier Sports Cup defeat on penalties at St Mirren. That game finished 1-1 after extra-time following goals by Saints' Alex Gogic and Hearts midfielder Oisin McEntee. The Paisley side won 5-4 on penalties to reach the quarter-finals. Motherwell's visit brings a return to league business, followed by a trip to Livingston next weekend. The Premiership then breaks for a fortnight as World Cup 2026 qualifiers begin. Scotland start their campaign to reach the finals in USA, Canada and Mexico with an away double header against Denmark and Belarus.

Rangers 'miss out' on target amid £8m Wrexham transfer
Callum Doyle is said to be on the verge of sealing an £8m move to Wrexham from Manchester City. The Hollywood-owned Championship side are spending big this summer, having already secured the services of Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich for £10m. The Welsh side also bought Conor Coady - another former Gers target - from Leicester City for £2m. The Athletic reports that Rangers had shown interest in Doyle when it was made clear he'd be allowed to leave City. The 21-year-old defender came through the youth ranks at the Premier League giants, but has failed to make the grade for the first team. Doyle has enjoyed successful loan spells at the likes of Sunderland, Coventry and Norwich City in the Championship and League One. And that's exactly where his £8m transfer to Wrexham will see him ply his trade for at least the season ahead. Along with Rangers, Sheffield United were also credited with holding an interest in the defender.

Man Utd have obvious transfer staring them in the face as £17m offer made
Manchester United have been told to make signings in a key position, and one of the club's long-term targets has been the subject of a transfer bid Manchester United have been given a hint that Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa could be available for a cut-price fee. The Red Devils have a goalkeeping issue to address after Ruben Amorim dropped Andre Onana for Altay Bayindir in the team's opening defeat to Arsenal on Sunday. United showed signs of improvement against the Gunners at Old Trafford, with much of the home fans' excitement centred around seeing their new attacking signings make their league debuts. However, Amorim's side came away without a share of the points after a mistake from Bayindir gifted Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori the winning goal. United have been linked with moves for PSG 's Gianluigi Donnarumma and Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez during the transfer window. However, Porto shot-stopper Costa could be the man to solve United's problem position after being the subject of a surprising transfer bid. Sky Germany reports that Galatasaray have submitted a £17million bid for Costa, which is expected to be rejected by Porto. It is claimed that the Turkish side view the Portugal number one as an alternative target as they continue to pursue a deal for Manchester City star Ederson. The club's focus on Costa and initial offer suggests they think they could sign the keeper for a relatively low fee. Costa, 25, has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford, having reportedly been among the options to succeed David De Gea at United before Onana joined the club in 2023. The goalkeeper is said to have a £63m buy-out clause in his contract, which has two years remaining. While Galatasaray's offer will likely not be accepted, it shows that Costa could be available at a bargain price - and much cheaper than what United have been previously quoted for him - considering his pedigree. This could also present a simple solution for United, given City are reportedly rivalling the Red Devils for Donnarumma's signature. It seems that Amorim does not have complete faith in Onana after leaving the former Ajax and Inter Milan star out of United's matchday squad at the weekend. When asked if Onana's omission was due to fitness concerns, Amorim said: "No (he is not injured), he's recovered but the other guys did so well during pre-season, so I need to balance that.' Bayindir took his place in goal for United but did little to stake his claim for being the team's long-term number one. The 27-year-old has made just 12 appearances for United since arriving from Fenerbahce two years ago. His actions leading up to Arsenal's winning goal were criticised by club icon Roy Keane. 'Credit to Arsenal – they vary the delivery; they're attacking it. But if you're the goalkeeper, take control of the six-yard box,' Keane said on Sky Sports. 'Keepers and defenders complain all the time about people getting in their face. 'You get in their face. Be aggressive. I've said it many times for a goalkeeper - come with violence. Take control of it. Far too easy. It's like schoolboy stuff. Man United - weak and soft." Keane's ex-team-mate, Gary Neville, echoed the thoughts of the former United captain. The pundit explained that he was in favour of United targeting either Donnarumma or Martinez due to their presence and personality, aspects he feels are lacking in the club's current goalkeeper options. "The reason I think they would be good goalkeepers for Man Utd is not necessarily because they are the best goalkeepers in Europe, but they are big personalities and characters,' he said on The Gary Neville Podcast. "You've seen Donnarumma in a European final save those penalties for Italy. He looked like a giant. He's played for PSG in huge games under pressure. Martinez has played in the World Cup final and won it for Argentina. "They have played under extreme pressure and they almost walk out with that arrogance and dominance of a goalkeeper - Man United need that.'
