Liverpool and Arsenal scouting Newcastle full-back Lewis Hall
Liverpool and Arsenal are among several teams observing the progress of versatile Newcastle full-back Lewis Hall ahead of the summer transfer window, according to latest reports.
Both Premier League outfits, alongside the likes of Man City, Borussia Dortmund and unnamed LaLiga clubs, are said to be “closely monitoring” him amid impressive performances, including a standout showing against Barcelona last week.
It remains to be seen how much the 21-year-old could command, with claims suggesting that the Magpies may consider starting talks at around £70 million, though they are unlikely to be willing to sanction his exit.
Hall remains under contract until 2029 and is viewed as an ideal upgrade to players such as Rayan Ait-Nouri at the Etihad Stadium and Andy Robertson at Anfield.
Sunderland submit £15m bid for Real Madrid gem Thiago Pitarch
Reports in Spain suggest Sunderland have offered a £15 million bid to sign Real Madrid prospect Thiago Pitarch this summer.
The 18-year-old midfielder has only just broken into the first team at the Bernabeu, registering six appearances across all competitions this season.
It's thought that the LaLiga giants believe Pitarch has the potential to grow into a key player for years to come. However, he is now attracting interest from the Premier League.
Madrid are said to be facing a dilemma over whether to take advantage of an eight-figure offer for a teenager or to continue his development in the Spanish capital.
Man City could sign Spurs defender Pedro Porro on one condition
Man City could be one of the teams to take advantage of Tottenham's situation this summer, as the north Londoners may have to sell numerous stars at cut-price deals if they are relegated to the Championship.
Spanish defender Pedro Porro is the latest name to emerge as an exit candidate, with the Citizens looking to secure him at a lower fee than his £80 million valuation, per reports.
Pep Guardiola has made his fellow countryman one of his key targets at the end of the season, with the right-back role viewed as a priority because midfielder Matheus Nunes has been deputising in the position regularly this term.
Spurs could be forced to sell Porro due to the financial hit they would incur by being relegated, with the title-chasing giants now seemingly ready to pounce.
