Latest transfer news today: Newcastle look to axe £55m flop as Spurs and Everton eye 26-goal striker

A trio of high‑profile forwards are drawing fresh attention as plans quietly take shape for the summer window.

Several Premier League clubs are weighing big decisions on both emerging talent and recent signings who haven’t fully convinced.

Football Whispers takes a look at the biggest headlines of the day:

Man City join Eli Junior Kroupi race

Manchester City are the latest Premier League side to join the race to sign AFC Bournemouth sensation Eli Junior Kroupi, according to reports.

It is believed that manager Pep Guardiola has been impressed by the 19-year-old striker and is continuing to track his progress closely ahead of the summer.

Kroupi's form has also attracted the interest of top-flight rivals Liverpool, as well as European heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

The Cherries have put a £70m asking price on his signature, with the young Frenchman under contract until 2030.

Newcastle exploring Yoane Wissa sale

Newcastle United are preparing for a summer of change and now a surprise new claim has emerged about a potential outgoing.

The Athletic claim the Magpies are exploring the possibility of selling £55 million striker Yoane Wissa, less than a year after joining the club.

The 29-year-old joined on a long-term contract from Brentford following the departure of Alexander Isak to Liverpool, but has failed to impress this season.

Newcastle may well have to accept taking a significant loss on the fee they paid, especially given they will owe the Bees around 25% due to a sell-on clause.

Tottenham in Premier League battle for Ayase Ueda

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to go head-to-head with Premier League rivals in the battle to sign Feyenoord forward Ayase Ueda this summer, should they remain in the top-flight.

Reports now suggest the Japan international, who has scored 26 goals in all competitions this season, has attracted the interest of several top-flight teams.

Everton, Leeds United and Brighton and Hove Albion have also scouted Ueda in person in recent months, with Spurs going as far as doing background work on him ahead of a potential move.

It remains to be seen how much the 27-year-old could command this summer, particularly given Japan's involvement in the 2026 World Cup.
