Fenerbahce sign defender Skriniar from PSG and Semedo from Wolves
GDANSK, July 31 (Reuters) - Slovakia defender Milan Skriniar has left French champions Paris St Germain to join Fenerbahce on a four-year contract, the clubs said on Thursday. Fenerbahce said that Skriniar, on loan with the Istanbul-based club since January, will receive an annual salary of 8.0 million euros ($9.13 million). The transfer fee was not disclosed. "Milan Skriniar... has completed a permanent move to Fenerbahce SK in Türkiye" PSG said in a statement. The 30-year-old joined PSG from Serie A club Inter Milan in 2023 and helped Fenerbahce to second place in the Turkish top flight last season. Portuguese international Nelson Semedo also signed with the club, managed by Jose Mourinho, on a two-year contract. The 31-year-old defender previously played for Barcelona and Benfica and joined the Turkish side on a free transfer after his contract with Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers expired.

Tottenham 'in talks to sign £44m former Premier League star on loan' as Thomas Frank eyes surprise coup for his fourth summer signing
Tottenham 's summer business under new boss Thomas Frank will reportedly continue with talks over what would be their fourth signing of the transfer window. Spurs have already moved quickly to reshape their squad ahead of the new campaign, securing a £55million deal for Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, and strengthening their defence with Luka Vuskovic and Kota Takai. The north London club have already missed out on one midfield target, Morgan Gibbs-White, who had been expected to undergo a medical before a dramatic U-turn saw him sign a new contract at Nottingham Forest last week. But it appears that setback has only accelerated efforts to add another figure to the spine of Frank's team. Now, Spurs are in advanced talks with Bayern Munich over a loan deal for former Fulham star Joao Palhinha, according to The Athletic. Palhinha has struggled to find his footing in Germany since his £44m move last summer. The 30-year-old Portugal international started just 10 league games for Bayern last season, with Vincent Kompany often favouring other options in midfield. Palhinha was a revelation during his two years at Fulham, winning the club's Player of the Season award in 2022-23 and making 79 appearances in all competitions. Palhinha came through the ranks at Sporting CP before loan spells with Moreirense, Belenenses and Braga, and his rise to prominence saw him become a regular for Portugal's national team. As well as being their fourth summer signing, the deal would also mark Tottenham's second piece of business with Bayern this window. Their first move of the summer was to seal a permanent deal for Mathys Tel, who spent the second half of last season on loan at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A KICK IN THE TEETH: Late overhead stunner knocks Hibs out of Europa League ... but David Gray expresses pride in his brave team
David Gray expressed pride in his Hibs players despite the late agony which saw them crash out of the Europa League. A brilliant overhead kick by Brazilian forward Junior Brumado in the 119th minute of extra time secured a dramatic victory for Danish side Midtjylland, who had earlier seen Dario Osorio's opener cancelled out by Rocky Bushiri. Gray's side drop into the Conference League where they will face Partizan Belgrade in the third qualifying round, with the first leg taking place in the Serbian capital next Thursday. 'I have very mixed emotions,' said Hibs boss Gray. 'I hate losing games but I can't ask the players for any more. 'It's taken three spectacular goals for a top team to beat us over the two legs. They scored a brilliant free-kick in the first leg, their first goal tonight was as good a strike as I've seen at Easter Road, then an overhead kick wins it. 'I'm proud of the team but it's a bit raw at the moment. We can still improve but the way we played tonight was a lot braver.' Gray refused to comment on a potential move for Scotland defender Grant Hanley who watched the game from the Easter Road stand. 'We're always looking for players but I'd rather talk about the players who were on the pitch tonight,' he said. 'There's always speculation as we are working towards finishing the transfer window stronger than we started it.' Rival coach Thomas Thomasberg insisted his side deserved to make progress to the Europa League third qualifying round where they will face NorwegiansFredrikstad. 'I feel the better team won but I give credit to Hibs,' he said. 'We had to work hard in both games. 'We didn't think we would walk through to the next round, Hibs were a difficult opponent but we are happy to get through. I didn't think we'd wait so long for the winning goal.'
