TRENDING RUMORS
– Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand is attracting growing interest from several Premier League clubs, with Arsenal and Manchester City both monitoring his development in Portugal, A Bola reports.

Despite his importance at Sporting, Premier League interest is expected to intensify as recruitment plans take shape. By contrast, a move to Serie A is looking increasingly unlikely for Hjulmand, with Internazionale and Napoli his only realistic options.

United are expected to overhaul their goalkeeping department this summer, with both André Onana and Altay Bayindir facing uncertain futures. Gunn is viewed as an experienced option, while his previous connection with United director of football Jason Wilcox at Manchester City’s academy could boost the club’s chances of securing a deal.
