Meanwhile, Everton is reportedly advancing in their pursuit of Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney, who is also being monitored by Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, and Tottenham Hotspur. Arsenal has made a free transfer approach for PSG defender Emmanuel Mbemba, and Coventry City is preparing for a Premier League return, targeting goalkeeper Carl Rushworth amid competition from several clubs.
