Tottenham have suffered a significant blow in their summer transfer plans after Brighton rejected a second formal offer for Jan Paul van Hecke. The north London side are moving quickly to overhaul a backline that struggled immensely last season, but they have found the Seagulls to be tough negotiators for the Dutch international.

Everton and Brighton are reportedly set to battle it out for the signature of Torino midfielder Cesare Casadei. The Italian youngster has enjoyed a productive debut season in Serie A, reigniting interest from the Premier League just a year after his permanent departure from Chelsea.

Tottenham have submitted an opening bid for Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke as Roberto De Zerbi looks to reunite with a player he helped develop on the south coast. The initial offer reportedly falls below Brighton's valuation, but talks remain ongoing as Spurs continue their summer defensive rebuild.

Newcastle United have ramped up their summer recruitment drive by launching a formal €24m bid for Swedish side AIK’s teenage sensation Zadok Yohanna. The winger, who has earned the nickname the 'Nigerian Neymar' due to his explosive style of play, has become one of the most sought-after young talents in European football.
