Bringing Kieran Tierney back to the club is “probably the best move Celtic have made”, says former captain Scott Brown.

Brown was Tierney’s team-mate when he broke through at the Scottish champions and believes the deal is a “really good fit” for both parties.

“Longer term, Kieran will be Celtic captain,” Brown told BBC Sport Scotland.

“He's a very, very good character in and about the place. Everyone loves him because he gives 110% and you can see how good he's got going down the road, working with better players.

“He's nowhere near coming to the end of his career. He'll probably say, 'can I go and win trophies and show that I'm a top quality player?' and go again.”

Defender Kaine Kesler-Hayden is likely to leave Aston Villa this summer after an impressive loan spell at Preston.

The 22-year-old is attracting interest from the Championship and abroad following a standout season at Deepdale.

He has come through Villa's academy - making four substitute appearances - and any cash will help the club comply with profit and sustainability rules.

Kesler-Hayden, an England Under-20 international, won Preston's young player of the season and player of the season awards.

The full-back made 51 appearances as North End finished 20th in the Championship.

He has previously spent time on loan at Swindon, MK Dons, Huddersfield and Plymouth.

It's 17:00 BST and that can only mean one thing - everybody is finishing work! Oh, and the deal sheet deadline has ed!

Here's the rundown for the next few hours:

• 17:00 BST - Clubs must submit a deal sheet two hours before today's transfer deadline closes
• 19:00 BST - The summer's first transfer window closes

Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres continues to be linked with a move to Manchester United, where he would be reunited with Ruben Amorim, the manager who brought him to Portugal from Coventry for around £20m in 2023.

The 27-year-old striker, who is reportedly now valued by Sporting at £67m, has scored 97 goals in 102 appearances for the club, also contributing 26 assists.

The Swede averaged more than a goal per game in the season just gone, netting 54 times in 52 appearances.

The question for suitors is whether he could be quite so prolific in a top European league. It’s perhaps worth noting 35% of his goals in 2024-25 came from penalties, when he successfully converted all 19 of his spot-kicks.

Should he move to Old Trafford he may have to rely more on open-play goals as he would be unlikely to dislodge Bruno Fernandes as penalty taker. United’s captain rarely makes a mistake from 12 yards, scoring 38 of 42 spot-kicks since ing, excluding shoot-outs.

England manager Thomas Tuchel is understood to be considering starting Jordan Pickford on the bench against Senegal.

Tuchel is keen to have a look at current understudies Dean Henderson and James Trafford which could see Everton keeper Pickford sit out tonight’s friendly at the City Ground.

Pickford – who has 76 international caps - has been a mainstay of the England starting XI for eight years, starting as the team’s first choice keeper in the previous four major tournaments.

Speaking last week, Tuchel hinted that Henderson was the leading contender to replace Pickford if there is to be a change in goal, saying: "He's doing everything to keep his place because he feels that Dean [Henderson] stepped up and found another gear.

"Dean got a vital title for Palace (the FA Cup) and he was a big figure. This helped his confidence a lot.

"Then we have the very young James Trafford who played a fantastic, record-breaking campaign with Burnley and got clean sheets.

"Hopefully he can prove himself in the Premier League next season and then the race is on. It is a fight for every position, there is no exception for goalkeepers."
