Ex-Villa goalkeeper Heaton signs a new Man United deal aged 40
Manchester United’s third-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton has signed a new one-year contract, the club have announced.
He joined Villa from Burnley for £8million in the summer of 2019, and left on a free transfer to sign for Man United two years later.
The 40-year-old, who has three England caps, has made just three first-team appearances since returning to Old Trafford for a second spell in 2021.
Kanu linked with Bromley
Former Walsall loanee Daniel Kanu has attracted League One interest in the wake of his goal-laden loan spell.
As reported by Charlton correspondent Rich Cawley, newly-promoted Bromley are among the clubs interested in signing the 21-year-old.
It is not yet known if the Ravens are pursuing a permanent deal, or another loan for Kanu, who scored 18 goals for the Saddlers across all competitions last term.
Villa face Summerville competition
AC Milan have emerged as serious contenders to sign West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville amid interest from Tottenham and Aston Villa - according to TeamTalk.
The 24-year-old, who scored seven goals and set-up five more in 34 games last season, is set to leave the Hammers following their relegation from the Premier League.
But West Ham are expected to request in the region of £35 million for his services.
West Brom linked with Senegalese striker
Albion and Queens Park Rangers have been credited with interest in free agent striker Bamba Dieng.
The Senegalese frontman, 26, is available on a free transfer after his exit from French club Lorient.
Dieng netted 14 goals in 21 appearances in all competitions for his former club last season, including nine times in 18 Ligue 1 fixtures for the side that finished 10th.
The former Marseille marksman also has six goals in 26 caps for his nation.
Albion are looking to bolster their forward line this summer after Daryl Dike was released.
There is a question mark over the future of Josh Maja, who was offered a contract. Aune Heggebo remains under contract.
