Ezno Kana-Biyik travels to sign Manchester United contract
Enzo Kana-Biyik (18) is set to travel to Manchester today in order to complete his move to Manchester United, according to a report from Le Parisien.
L'Équipe first revealed last week that Manchester United were in advanced talks with Le Havre AC regarding a transfer for the forward. Kana-Biyik, despite being involved in Didier Digard's first-team set-up, is yet to make his debut for his formative club.

It now looks like he may never make an appearance for Les Ciel et Marines. Kana-Biyik has been coveted and, prior to reaching an agreement with Manchester United, had also visited Olympique de Marseille's installations. The striker has opted instead to follow the same path as Paul Pogba by leaving L'HAC to join Manchester United.
The young forward is now travelling to Manchester in order to sign his contract with the Premier League side. Once the move is completed, it is expected that he will be loaned out to fellow INEOS-owned club FC Lausanne-Sport.

Wirtz Signing Proves Liverpool Is Now England's Most Attractive Club
KIRKBY, ENGLAND - JUNE 20: (THE SUN OUT, THE SUN ON SUNDAY OUT) Florian Wirtz is unveiled as a ... More Liverpool player after his signing at AXA Training Centre on June 20, 2025 in Kirkby, England. (Photo by Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty Images) Florian Wirtz could have joined any of Europe's biggest clubs this summer. The German playmaker was wanted by Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid. He had his pick, but instead decided to join Liverpool in a transfer that is reportedly worth a Premier League-record $160m. Liverpool surged to the Premier League title last season, leaving rivals such as Arsenal and Manchester City in its dust. Arne Slot's team played a brand of exciting, dynamic soccer and so it's unsurprising Wirtz wants to be a part of the project at Anfield. Nonetheless, this is a transfer that confirms Liverpool's newfound status. LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - MAY 25: Arne Slot, manager of Liverpool lifts the Premier League trophy with ... More his team after the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Crystal Palace FC at Anfield on May 25, 2025 in Liverpool, England. (Photo by/Getty Images For The Premier League) As things are, Liverpool is the most attractive club in the Premier League. It plays the best soccer and, as last season proves, win the most matches and trophies. To someone like Wirtz, the Anfield club is where the best players in the world want to play. The Reds can continue to build on the platform they gave themselves in Slot's first campaign in charge. 'I just thought that it was the right point in my career to make the next step,' said Wirtz. 'I wanted to get to a club that is from the top three in the world, and in my opinion Liverpool was one of them. I just saw myself in the best hands in Liverpool. I was really convinced by the people here, by the idea, and everything what the club offers me was really good. And in the end [it was]In a past era, Manchester United sat at the top of the Premier League food chain. With Sir Alex Ferguson at the helm, the best soccer players in England invariably ended up at Old Trafford. Then there was a shift in the power balance and Manchester City surpassed its rivals as the strongest and most attractive in the land.

While Manchester City is in the midst of a squad rebuild this summer, the Premier League champions are improving from a position of strength. With Wirtz added to the team, the Reds will take some catching next season. Of course, Trent Alexander-Arnold departed Liverpool to join Real Madrid and so there might still be bigger fish than the Reds in the European soccer pond. In English soccer, though, Liverpool is setting the standard. Wirtz is one of the best players of his generation and he has chosen Anfield as the perfect stage for the next, and best, phase of his career.

Arsenal legend makes controversial claim about Liverpool £200m transfer business
Former Arsenal favourite Charlie Nicholas believes Florian Wirtz's transfer won't prove to be "a massive jump forward" for Premier League champions Liverpool. And the former Scotland international has also claimed the addition of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth is not a huge upgrade on Andy Robertson at left-back. Advertisement The Reds confirmed the £116m addition of Wirtz last week in a deal that could become a British record if the add-ons are achieved, while the capture of Kerkez at £40m was also confirmed on Thursday. Both targets are part of what has so far been a hugely exciting transfer window so far for the Reds, who will welcome the June additions alongside £29m pair Jeremie Frimpong and Giorgi Mamardashvili to pre-season training on July 7. READ MORE: Liverpool chairman Tom Werner on Arne Slot, historic transfer spend and FSG's future Anfield plans READ MORE: Alexander Isak Liverpool transfer next step clear as fee and wages positions explained Advertisement However, Nicholas, who won the League Cup with Arsenal in 1987, scoring twice in their 2-1 Wembley win over Liverpool, remains unconvinced by the champions' summer business so far, which has cost more than £200m, telling Sky Bet: 'Liverpool have made some interesting moves so far this window. "Is Milos Kerkez going to be better than Andy Robertson? I don't think so and don't think their defence has drastically improved. "Florian Wirtz is a fantastic signing, but he may take time to settle - the buzz is mainly around the big fee paid, like when Arsenal signed Declan Rice. "Everyone at the time thought that fee was ridiculous, but he's proved to be a valuable signing. I'm sure Wirtz will be too, but I don't think it's a massive jump forward for Liverpool. Advertisement 'As for Manchester City, they've signed well, but not overwhelmingly so. They need to replace Kevin De Bruyne and get far more out of Phil Foden, and the new signings will take time to settle in. "The big thing they are waiting for is Rodri's return from injury but defensively I don't see them being much better than last season. I think the league is a three-horse race again - Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool.' Nicholas also gave his verdict on Darwin Nunez, who is the subject of interest from Napoli, adding: 'Nunez has good assets - his pace, movement, bravery - but his big disappointment has been his erratic finishing. "It's as if the pressure got too much for him. When you see Luis Diaz and Mo Salah being calm in important moments, he just never seemed to produce that. When the pressure is on you, and you're not getting in the team, and it sounds like he's had rows with Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot, asking why he's not in the team, and they would've probably said the same as me. Advertisement 'He's not handled the pressure of being a finisher for a club this well. Saying that, we're waiting on one big striker transfer in the Premier League that will set a domino effect for a lot of clubs. "I think he could still do a great job in the Premier League, but I don't think he'll be looking to stay - he should go somewhere else in Europe and re-establish himself. He needs a clean break.'

Liverpool AGREE deal to sign left-winger
Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign an exciting left-winger. It's a busy summer at Anfield. Richard Hughes is gearing up for one of the best windows in Premier League history. Already this has been a sensational transfer period for Liverpool. The Reds have clearly made themselves a stronger team by bringing in Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez. Advertisement But there is more to come yet at Anfield. Liverpool still need to bring in a no.9 and a centre-back and Hughes is absolutely working on getting those deals done. Although first there are departures to handle as well. There are quite a few players who face uncertain futures. Darwin Nunez, Jarell Quansah and Harvey Elliott could all be heading to pastures new. Meanwhile, the likes of Luis Diaz and Ibrahima Konate are in contract stand-offs that could force Liverpool into action. The former is someone Liverpool would absolutely look to replace if he decided to move away from the club. And while the club's latest signing will likely not be a direct replacement but he could follow in suit of Diaz's footsteps at Anfield in the future. Advertisement According to Football Insider Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Blackpool's left-wing sensation Gabriel Schluter, with the youngster set to complete a medical next week in order to become a Liverpool player. An exciting talent, Schluter has made one first team appearance at Blackpool to date but he's only just recently turned 16-years-old. Schluter was the youngest player in Blackpool's history when he made his debut in the EFL Trophy at just 15-years-old and nine months. He's very highly regarded and it looks like Liverpool might have got themselves a real gem to add to an already talented left-wing department at the club. Advertisement Obviously, there's Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo but there's also Trent Kone-Doherty and Rio Ngumoha, who are both really highly rated by Arne Slot and who have been regularly training with the first team. Schluter likely won't get a first team chance any time soon, although you never know given the Reds have always been very keen to promote young talent. However, the most likely situation given his age is that he will join the club's U18 side or the U21 team, where he could be working alongside Rob Page. Nonetheless, this seems like a huge coup. Signing a historic club's youngest ever player, who they rated very highly is always nice to see.
