Jamie Vardy’s next chapter could unfold in Spain, with reports suggesting that La Liga side Valencia are weighing up a move for the former Leicester City talisman. The 37-year-old, who brought an end to his 13-year spell at the King Power Stadium this summer, has attracted interest from several clubs across Europe, including Rangers and Wrexham.
Wrexham have confirmed the signing of George Thomason from Bolton Wanderers as their fourth summer addition, with the 24-year-old midfielder penning a three-year deal. Co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac continue to back Phil Parkinson's and his squad, as the Welsh club gear up for life in the Championship with Premier League dreams in sight.
A Gareth Bale-led consortium continues to remain interested in buying Welsh giants Cardiff City from current owner Vincent Tan, who is under pressure to sell the club due to their struggles in League One. Bale and his partners saw their initial bid worth £40 million ($54m) knocked back by Tan, although the group later came back with a new and improved offer.
Birmingham stars Jay Stansfield and Tomoki Iwata were beaten to the 2024-25 PFA League One Player of the Year award as Richard Kone claimed the trophy.
Cardiff City legend Sol Bamba has been honoured with a new mural in Grangetown, unveiled less than a year after his tragic death at the age of 39. His widow, Chloe, delivered a heartfelt tribute at the ceremony, admitting she will “never be OK” with how her husband was taken but expressing gratitude for the love and support shown by the community.
In a groundbreaking move, Demetri Mitchell, the former Manchester United prospect, has revealed he used ChatGPT to handle his contract negotiations at Leyton Orient, bypassing the need for an agent and pocketing extra cash in the process. Mitchell, now 28, had been on the books at Old Trafford but never made an impact on the first-team stage.
Former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere accepts that he is a “risk” when it comes to managerial appointments, with the ex-England international accepting a challenging first full-time coaching job. At just 33 years of age, and with limited experience under his belt, Wilshere has taken the reins at League One side Luton Town - with that move ensuring that his career has gone full circle.
John Terry has revealed his confusion at the fact he does not receive more job offers, while seemingly giving up on his ambition to manage Chelsea. The former England captain has not held a first-team coaching position since working as an assistant at Leicester City in 2023, as offers do not appear to have materialised.
