Transfer News Podcast | Premier League Transfer Rumours & News

Welcome to the Transfer News Podcast, I'm Archer, your host bringing you the latest transfer stories from the Premier League and beyond. We've got a packed show today with some fascinating developments across multiple clubs, so let's dive straight in. Manchester United are reportedly prepared to target Sporting's captain if their pursuit of Brighton's Carlos Baleba fails to materialise. This suggests Rúben Amorim is looking to strengthen his midfield options with proven leadership qualities, though it shows United may need backup plans for their primary targets. Staying with transfer business, Brentford have reached an agreement to sign Ouattara according to reports today. Keith Andrews continues to build his squad methodically, and this addition could provide valuable depth for the Bees as they look to establish themselves further in the Premier League. Moving to Newcastle, former goalkeeper Asmir Begovic believes Alexander Isak will remain at Saint James' Park unless the club signs a replacement first. This makes perfect sense from Newcastle's perspective - you don't let a proven goalscorer leave without having a contingency plan in place. Meanwhile, West Ham manager Graham Potter has expressed satisfaction with the club's transfer business so far, stating they're in a good place. Potter's measured approach suggests he's building something sustainable at the London Stadium rather than making panic buys. Nottingham Forest are having a particularly busy day in the transfer market, with three separate deals in motion. First, they've agreed a deal for James McAtee, which represents smart business for a player who could add creativity to their midfield. The club has also approached Juventus regarding Douglas Luiz, showing ambition to bring in established talent from one of Europe's elite clubs. Additionally, Forest are close to agreeing a deal for Hutchinson, demonstrating Nuno Espírito Santo's commitment to strengthening his squad depth across multiple positions. Finally, while not Premier League news, it's worth noting that Luke O'Nien has signed a new contract with Sunderland, securing his future at the Stadium of Light. That wraps up today's transfer roundup - plenty of activity across the Premier League as clubs look to finalise their squads. Want to win your fantasy premier league mini leagues?
