• •Brighton’s Yasin Ayari is nearing a new commitment, while teammate Kaoru Mitoma is reportedly being eyed for a potential exit.
• •Chelsea is expected to renew their pursuit of Manu Kone as they continue their search for midfield reinforcements.

Newcastle United are reportedly open to the sale of Lewis Hall despite having recently solidified his status with a permanent contract, according to BBC Sport. This development arrives as clubs adjust their squad strategies during a competitive window, contrasted with Brighton’s efforts to retain Ayari while facing interest in Mitoma. Friction exists between Hall’s long-term potential and the club’s immediate financial flexibility requirements. Whether this move signals a shift in Newcastle's recruitment philosophy will depend on their ability to secure depth elsewhere in the midfield.
