Yassine Bounou to sign for Al Hilal

Maguire to West Ham is off

Former Manchester United captain Harry Maguire will no longer move to West Ham after the proposed transfer fell through.

Arsenal’s Tavares to join Nottingham Forest

Steve Cooper’s Nottingham Forest continues to build with the potential arrival of Arsenal’s Portuguese defender Nuno Tavares.
