The summer football transfer window, open until September 1, is seeing significant activity as clubs look to strengthen their squads. Leicester City is reportedly interested in acquiring Tottenham Hotspur's young defender Malachi Hardy on loan.
Hardy, an England U18 international, has impressed during pre-season training. Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi has praised the 18-year-old, noting his composure and potential for the club's future. Hardy signed a contract extension earlier this year after stepping up to train with the first team and improving his aggression.
Meanwhile, Wrexham is nearing a deal to sign Crystal Palace full-back Danny Imray for approximately £5 million. The 22-year-old spent loan spells at Blackpool and West Bromwich Albion last season. Wrexham aims to bolster their squad for a promotion push from the Championship to the Premier League. Crystal Palace had previously rejected a £750,000 bid for Imray from Wycombe in January 2025.
In other transfer news, Saudi club Al-Hilal has set its sights on Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye. The Senegal international, 26, has three years remaining on his contract with Everton. The Merseyside club has been attempting to negotiate an improved deal with Ndiaye, which he has so far rejected. While Everton has maintained that the player is not for sale amid interest from Premier League rivals, Al-Hilal's financial power could present a significant challenge. The Saudi club, which recently signed Crysencio Summerville from West Ham, has yet to submit a formal bid for Ndiaye.
Recent days have also seen other notable transfer developments, including Liverpool's pursuit of a compromise on PSG's Bradley Barcola and Tottenham's continued efforts to sign Manchester City winger Savinho. Earlier in the week, West Ham's Crysencio Summerville was reported to be nearing a £60 million move to Saudi Arabia.
