Hello and welcome to another episode of Transfer News Podcast, I'm your host Archer, and if you're wondering why I sound slightly more caffeinated than usual, it's because the transfer window is absolutely buzzing right now and I've been living on espresso and speculation. Let's dive straight into today's stories because we've got some absolute crackers for you.

First up, and this one's fascinating, Al Hilal are reportedly interested in signing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko before the Club World Cup kicks off. This could be a massive move for the Slovenian striker who has been turning heads across Europe with his performances. I've got to say, the timing here is intriguing given the profile that tournament will bring.

Now, speaking of timing, Sky Sports are reminding us that we're approaching Deadline Day and asking what can actually happen on the closing of this first summer window. The mechanics of transfer deadline day never get old, and there's always drama lurking in those final hours when clubs scramble to get deals over the line.

In somewhat surprising news from the lower leagues, Wrexham are still pursuing Tottenham's Ben Davies according to Sky Sports. The Welsh defender has been at Spurs for years now, and a move to Wrexham would certainly be an interesting career pivot. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney continue to make waves in the transfer market.

Moving on to Manchester United, who have reportedly made an approach for Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish striker has been absolutely prolific in Portugal and this could be exactly the kind of signing United need to bolster their attacking options. Gyokeres has that rare combination of physicality and clinical finishing that could translate beautifully to the Premier League.

In managerial news, Tottenham have apparently opened talks with Brentford to appoint Thomas Frank as their new manager. This would be a fascinating appointment given Frank's excellent work with the Bees and his tactical acumen. The Danish coach has shown he can work with limited resources and develop young talent.

Manchester City have completed the signing of Rayan Ait Nouri from Wolverhampton Wanderers according to reports. The Algerian left-back brings pace and attacking threat down the flank, which fits perfectly into Pep Guardiola's system. This could be a shrewd piece of business for the Citizens.

Finally, Manchester United are expected to return with an improved bid for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo. The Cameroonian winger has been impressive in the Premier League and would add genuine pace and creativity to United's attack. If they can get this deal over the line, it could be transformative for their wide play.
