Elliot Anderson set for Man City medical: WINDOW WATCH

It's that time of the year again - the transfer window is now open until September 1 and it's sure to be a busy period with clubs looking to make big signings ahead of next season. Here are today's latest developments from Simon Jones and the Daily Mail Sport team...

Hammers in for Fatawu

West Ham have registered their interest in Leicester City winger Abdul Fatawu with the Championship side preparing for life without Crysencio Summerville.

Fatawu is with Ghana at the World Cup while Summerville is with the Netherlands squad and is attracting interest from Manchester United, Spurs, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

Leicester remain in discussions with Arsenal over the sale of 16-year-old Jeremy Monga. The Foxes also want a sell-on clause included.

Wrexham legend Mullin to leave this summer

Wrexham striker Paul Mullin will leave the club this summer following the mutual termination of his contract.

Mullin, 31, played a huge role in Wrexham’s rise from the National League to the Championship with 110 goals in 172 appearances following his arrival from Cambridge United in 2021.

Newcastle add Nmecha to their shortlist

Newcastle have Germany's World Cup midfielder Felix Nmecha on their shortlist this summer. The 25-year-old has a £73.5m buyout at Dortmund but a deal could be negotiated at a lower price.

The Magpies face losing Sandro Tonali, who is wanted by Tottenham, while Arsenal have seen an approach for Bruno Guimaraes rebuffed.

Nmecha is one of several midfielders they are considering and a deal to get him out of Dortmund would be expensive. However, he is admired and has been on the club's and Eddie Howe's radar for several years.

Manchester United have also been linked, but he is not thought to be near the top of their shortlist.

Brentford looking at Burnley's Anthony

Brentford have added Burnley’s Jaidon Anthony to their list of transfer options.

The Bees are already keen on the winger’s Turf Moor team-mate Zian Flemming and they are exploring a move for Hoffenheim’s coveted Ivory Coast international flyer Bazoumana Toure too.

Spurs must give up 10 per cent of Bergvall cash

Djurgarden are due 10 per cent of any fee that Tottenham may receive for Lucas Bergvall. The Swedish midfielder is high on Nottingham Forest’s wishlist as they look to fill the void left by Elliot Anderson’s pending departure.

Spurs would want around £45m for the 20-year-old who is keen to find more regular playing time and fears options will be limited as Roberto de Zerbi pushes for Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali and West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes.

Leicester defender eyed by Torino

Leicester City centre back Ben Nelson is attracting attention from Torino in Italy.

The 22-year-old, who can also play left back, has a number of clubs monitoring his situation. The former England U20 international has been on the radar of Manchester United previously and other Premier League sides.

Anderson set for City medical

Elliot Anderson will have his Manchester City medical in the coming days after the club agreed a deal with Nottingham Forest.

City sources insist the deal for the England midfielder, 23, is £116m (€135m), a club record, with no bonuses attached.

Newcastle dismissive of Arsenal move for Bruno

Newcastle are understood to be dismissive of Arsenal's approach for Bruno Guimaraes.

Daily Mail Sport last night revealed the club were braced for the Gunners to make a move, with representatives in the UK gauging the market for the Brazil international.

He has two months to run on his contract.

Koppen in mix for West Ham role

Nils Koppen, technical director at FC Copenhagen, is in contention for the director of football role at West Ham.

The Belgian was formerly with Rangers and PSV Eindhoven.

Newcastle’s Steve Nickson was also linked with West Ham but, as Daily Mail Sport revealed, he is a candidate for a role with Wrexham.

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'

Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.

The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.

Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.

But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.

'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.

'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'

The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.

Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'

A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'

A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.

'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.

Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.

'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.

'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.

'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.

'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'

'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.

'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
