Premier League newcomers eye free agent star

Sunderland made an ambitious play for former England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

talkSPORT has been told the Black Cats were willing to offer Calvert-Lewin a move to the Stadium of Light after his release by Everton.

However, the 28-year-old is keen to keep his options open in the hope a club higher up the Premier League good chain comes in for him.

Sunderland have since agreed a deal with Chelsea to take teenage striker Marc Guiu on loan.

Calvert-Lewin is understood to have held talks with Leeds earlier in the summer, but were put off by his wage demands.

Forgotten ace linked with surprise switch

Wolves striker Fabio Silva is a surprise target for German giants Borussia Dortmund.

Silva has managed just four Premier League goals since moving to Molineux in a then-club record £35million deal in September 2020.

Fabio Silva has played more games on loan away from Wolves (with Anderlecht, PSV, Rangers and Las Palmas) than for his parent club, having racked up just 72 appearances (five goals, six assists) since his £35m arrival from Porto in 2020

In fact he has played more games out on loan than he has for Wolves in recent years, netting ten times in 24 outings for Las Palmas in recent seasons.

But that has not stopped both Dortmund and fellow Bundesliga side RB Leipzig shortlisting the Portuguese as a target.

Sources have told talkSPORT Wolves would be willing to sell Silva for around £22m.

Brighton winger set for Germany?

Another Premier League player attracting interest from Borussia Dortmund is Brighton winger Facundo Buonanotte.

Dortmund are eyeing Buonanotte, 20, as a cheaper alternative to bringing Jadon Sancho back for a third stint at the club.

Buonanotte spent last season on loan at Leicester City and could now be set for a move to one of the Bundesliga’s top clubs

Meanwhile, Brighton are relaxed about the future of centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke.

With his contract due to expire in 2027, the Seagulls would like to tie van Hecke down to a new deal but sources have played down suggestions he is pushing for a move away this summer.
