Ref Watch LIVE! Matheus Cunha's Man Utd goal and Celtic-Hearts fallout analysed by former referee Dermot Gallagher

Howe unsure over Gordon future

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe doesn't know whether Anthony Gordon has played his final game for the club, amid ongoing interest in the England winger.

Gordon's future has been the subject of much speculation for weeks amid interest from Bayern Munich and beyond, with Howe previously eluding to a potential transfer this summer.

The 25-year-old was an unused substitute in all of Newcastle's final four games of the season, and was overlooked in favour of 18-year-old Sean Neave late on in their 2-0 defeat at Fulham in their final game.

When asked whether Gordon's Newcastle career was over, he told Your Site: "I dont know. You can never predict whats going to happen. 

"He goes to the World Cup now, so we wish him well."

Man Utd in advanced talks for Ederson

Latest from Your Site News' Dan Khan, Vik Varange and Dharmesh Sheth:

Manchester United are in advanced talks with Atalanta over Brazilian midfielder Ederson.

There is still a gap in the player's valuation between the two clubs with Atalanta wanting around 45m, but there is confidence a club-to-club agreement at a lower price will be reached soon, with the Brazilian out of contract next summer.

Personal terms are not thought to be an issue. United have held a long-term interest in Ederson during his time at Atalanta.

Atalantas manager Raffaele Palladino confirmed over the weekend that Ederson remained an unused substitute in their draw against Fiorentina because a major club is following him.

United continue to do background work on other midfield targets, including Brightons Carlos Baleba and West Hams Mateus Fernandes.

Man Utd 'close to signing Tonali'

Man Utd are close to completing a move for Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, according to Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb.

The outlet claims the club are finalising a deal for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, but adds that Tonali is set to move to Old Trafford too, with Juventus also interested but unable to match his financial demands.

The Italian was linked with a move to Arsenal in January and his agent Guiseppe Riso later namechecked the Gunners and Man City as destinations for a potential future move.

Your Site News previously reported Tonali is on Man Utd's long list of midfielders this summer - with two expected to join in the upcoming transfer window.

Also included are Adam Wharton and Bournemouth duo Tyler Adams and Alex Scott as well as Lille's Ayoub Bouaddi and Christos Mouzakitis of Olympiakos.

Rangers in advanced talks to sign Hearts captain Shankland

Latest from Your Site News' Sahil Jaidka:

Rangers are in advanced talks over a deal to sign Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland

It is understood the Ibrox club are keen to land the 30-year-old before he departs for the World Cup with Scotland.

Talks are thought to be progressing well over an initial two-year deal, with option to extend, which would see the striker move from Edinburgh to Glasgow.

Shankland, who scored 20 goals last season, has been linked with a move to the club he grew up supporting but previous bosses failed to move for the player.

Jakirovic: Hull will need better players

Hull head coach Sergej Jakirovic speaking to Your Site after winning promotion:

"We will try to add better players than we have now. But I think these main players who bring us to the Premier League they can stay, they can help us. 

"We have to have better players than we have. I think Sunderland's recipe is great. Because they brought dynamic players with pace and speed. You can build this type of team.

On if the chairman will spend: "We are on the same page since day one. I don't see any problems there. This is great money for the club. We're trying to use this money very wisely."
