Carlos Corberan linked with Las Palmas post in La Liga

Carlos Corberan appears to be a man in demand at the moment. Previously, he had been linked with moves to both Leicester City and Burnley in the summer transfer window - now, La Liga outfit Las Palmas appear to have the 41-year-old in their sights.

According to a recent report from Spanish sports media outlet Marca [via Express and Star], Las Palmas’ interest in Corberan is ‘more serious’ than that of Leicester’s and Burnley’s. He is currently under contract with the Baggies until the summer of 2027 - due to this, any club wishing to take him off their hands will need to pay a (potentially considerable) sum of money to secure his signature.

Brighton ‘in talks’ with Leeds over Summerville

Brighton and Hove Albion have emerged s contenders to sign Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville. The Dutchman was the Whites’ key man in front of goal last season, with 21 goals and 10 assists. His performances, coupled with Leeds’ failure to clinch promotion, has attracted interest from Liverpool and Chelsea but Brighton are now trying to get a deal over the line. However, Fabrizio Romano believes Leeds will likely receive between £35-40million for the player if a move is agreed.

“It’s a concrete possibility,” Romano told Caught Offside. “Brighton are trying, they know it's a complicated deal because there are many clubs interested in this great talent. Obviously Brighton are trying to move fast. We know the financial fair play situation for many big clubs in England is quite complicated now and so Brighton are trying to take advantage of this situation. They have the possibility to make some investments and signing a player like Summerville would be a big opportunity for them.

“What I'm hearing is that Brighton made contact in recent hours to explore the possibility of attacking this situation. There are talks ongoing so let's see if Brighton can be fast. There's also interest from two big clubs, Chelsea and Liverpool, both have had some contact in recent months. We are looking at around £35-40m for Summerville. I think the next stage will be important to see how the race goes because the timing will be important. If Brighton cannot reach an agreement in the next two or three weeks, the bigger clubs could appear.”
