    England defender Dier has reportedly told the club he wants to see out his contract which ends next year and leave as a free agent.
    Dier joined Spurs back in 2014 from Sporting for £4million and has made a staggering 270 appearances for the club.
    However, the 29-year-old has since fallen down the pecking order under Agne Postecoglou due to the arrival of Micky van der Ven.
    The Dutchman, 22, joined the Lilywhites from Wolfsburg in a £43m deal and has signed a six-year deal.

    Premier League rivals Fulham have made an enquiry for Dier ahead of Friday’s deadline.
    Meanwhile, Paris Saint-German are creeping up again to reignite their interest in midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
    This is the third transfer window the French champions have asked about the 26-year-old as they consider another attempt to snatch the former French international.
    Club-record signing Ndombele has had loan spells at Lyon and Napoli while being at Spurs.

    Fulham will pay an initial fee of around £12.5million which will quickly rise to £14million once Castagne has played an agreed number of games this season.
    That could rise to £15million if Castagne is a success and holds down a place in Silva’s side.
    The attacking right-back has yet to make an appearance for the Foxes under their new boss Enzo Maresca, who has played Ricardo Pereira instead.
    However Castagne will add a wealth of experience to Fulham after making more than 100 appearances for Leicester City under Brendan Rodgers, scoring five goals in 112 matches, including one on his debut in 2020.

    He was a provider during his time at the King Power too with seven Premier League assists to his name.
    Castagne becomes the Fulham’s fourth signings of the summer as they look to improve on last season’s 10th place finish.
    They have already welcomed the arrivals of Calvin Bassey, Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore.
    They’ve also seen one significant exit with star man Aleksandar Mitrovic leaving the club for Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in a £43million deal.

    But they’ll be buoyed by their performance to get a 2-2 draw away from home against Arsenal on Saturday. More

    According to The Telegraph, United are keen on signing Hojbjerg from Tottenham and the North London club have offered them the chance to open talks.
    The Danish international looked as if he was going to be on his way to Atletico Madrid earlier in the window after Spurs accepted a £30million bid.
    But the deal collapsed after Hojbjerg was unable to agree personal terms with the Spaniards.
    Now it’s Ten Hag who is after the 28-year-old as he looks to add depth to his midfield which has already taken a hit through the injury of Mason Mount.

    Gravenberch, 21, looks set to leave Bayern after falling down the pecking order at the club.
    The midfielder was usually called upon from the bench by manager Thomas Tuchel last season, and that continued today during Bayern’s 3-1 win over Augsburg.
    Gravenberch came on in the 81st minute of a game that saw Bayern new boy Harry Kane continue his excellent start in Bavaria by scoring two goals.
    After the match however, he poured doubt over his future in a Bayern shirt, saying: “I don‘t know what will happen in the next days,” when asked about his future by Bild.

    Gravenberch is also attracting interest from Liverpool with the Merseyside club keen to reinforce their midfield options.
    While Liverpool have already utilised the Bundesliga to reinforce their midfield with the signing of Stuttgart midfielder Wataru Endo, they are understood to still be interested in bolstering their midfield.
    Reports this month suggested that Liverpool sent two officials to Munich to lay the groundwork on a potential deal for the young Dutchman.
    United meanwhile have been tracking Gravenberch for the majority of this transfer window in order to add some much needed balance to a midfield of Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Mason Mount that has thus far failed to click.

    Gravenberch is reportedly desperate to leave Bayern as he looks to secure a starting place in Holland’s midfield at Euro 2024.
