Transfer news LIVE: Tottenham eye Omar Marmoush as Inter Milan chase Liverpool ace
July 13th©IMAGO
The summer transfer window has officially opened and while the main attention is on the World Cup, clubs are working away on major deals. For most clubs, planning will already be complete and they will have identified which players they want to sign, and which players they want to sell.
Managers will be constantly assessing their squads with sporting directors and recruitment staff scanning the market for potential deals this summer. The rumour mill is still gathering pace and we’ve collated some of the biggest current transfer stories – you can access the full rumour mill below.
Today’s biggest transfer storiesInter Milan are preparing another bid for Curtis Jones. Liverpool have already rebuffed an opening offer for around €25m for the midfielder but Jones is expected to depart Anfield with his contract expiring in 2027.
Roma are currently the leading candidates to sign Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine winger is not part of Xabi Alonso’s plans with Chelsea setting a price tag of €50m, which will be prohibitive for Roma but a loan deal remains possible.
Tottenham and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in Omar Marmoush. The 27-year-old has struggled since moving to Manchester City from the Bundesliga and Enzo Maresca’s men will entertain offers this summer.

Post-Mortem Reveals Horrific Cause Of Death For Ndodana Tshuma’s Wife And Daughters
Post-Mortem Reveals How Ndodana Tshuma’s Wife And Daughters Died
The cause of death of Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma’s wife and two young daughters has been officially revealed following post-mortem examinations carried out in the United Kingdom.
Authorities confirmed on Monday, 13 July 2026, that Nothabo Zandile Tshuma, 42, and her daughters, Natalie, 15, and Nala, five, all died from blunt-force trauma after their bodies were discovered at their Bedfordshire home on 6 July.
Post-Mortem Confirms Blunt-Force Trauma
Bedfordshire Police said the post-mortem examinations established that all three victims died from blunt-force trauma.
Blunt-force trauma is a medical term used to describe severe injuries caused by a forceful impact from a hard object or surface. Unlike stab wounds or gunshot wounds, the injuries are caused by powerful blows that do not pierce the body. Police have not disclosed what object, if any, may have been involved.
The bodies of Zandile and her daughters were found at their £1.3 million home after concerns were raised when they had not been seen for several days.
The forensic examinations were conducted under the direction of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit as investigators continue building their case.
Police Urge Public Not To Speculate
Following the release of the post-mortem findings, Bedfordshire Police urged the public to avoid speculation while criminal proceedings continue.
Detective Inspector Lee Martin, the senior investigating officer, said:
“This case has attracted a huge amount of media coverage and we are aware of international reports circulating which contain some speculation about this case.”
He added:
“With three murder charges authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service, proceedings around this case remain active and we are not able to provide any further detail at this stage.”
Martin said investigators would continue working closely with the Crown Prosecution Service and international partners as the investigation progresses.
Suspect Remains In Custody
The release of the post-mortem results came on the same day Ndodana Tshuma appeared before the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court in South Africa after his arrest last week.
South African Police Service (SAPS) said he was arrested during an operation involving Interpol, Crime Intelligence and the Organised Crime Investigation Unit. British prosecutors have authorised three murder charges against the 45-year-old, while the process to return him to the UK is underway.
The latest post-mortem findings provide the clearest official account yet of how Zandile Tshuma and her daughters died, although investigators have stressed that further details will only emerge through the court process.
Roberto De Zerbi set to make key transfer decision after Spurs ‘reject’ three approaches for 12-goal forward – Sports Mole
Tottenham have reportedly turned down three approaches for young forward Will Lankshear.The striker spent time in the youth system at Arsenal and Sheffield United before he joined Tottenham in 2022.Lankshear, who has made three appearances for Tottenham’s first team, spent time out on loan at West Bromwich Albion in the second half of the 2024-25 season and at Oxford for the entirety of the 2025-26 campaign.The 21-year-old netted 12 goals in 47 competitive appearances for the U’s, including 11 goals and four assists in 44 Championship matches.© Imago / PPAUKTottenham turn down three Lankshear approachesWhile he could not keep Oxford in the second tier, Lankshear’s impressive performances saw him named the club’s Young Player of the Season.According to football.london, Tottenham have already received plenty of interest in Lankshear this summer.The report claims that the north London club have turned down approaches from the Championship duo of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton, as well as Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon. The offers were said to be worth eight figures as either a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to buy.
Tottenham are yet to make a decision over Lankshear’s future, but it would take a significant fee to sanction his exit. © ImagoDe Zerbi to make Lankshear decisionSpurs boss Roberto De Zerbi is expected to have a major say in whether Lankshear remains with the club beyond the end of the summer transfer window.Lanskhear has returned to Spurs for pre-season training, giving De Zerbi the chance to assess him before making a final decision, which could happen before the squad heads to New Zealand and Australia for their pre-season tour next week.As it stands, Lankshear may struggle for minutes on the pitch if he stays put, with Spurs looking to add a centre-forward to their current options of Dominic Solanke and Richarlison.However, there is a possibility that Richarlison could leave, especially as he only has a year left on his contract.

Marshall Aerospace engineers could go on strike amid firm’s ‘uncertain future’
More than 200 engineers who maintain the Hercules aircraft could go on strikeMarshalls in Cambridge(Image: Google Street View)Engineers who maintain the C-130 Hercules aircraft could go on strike. Marshall Aerospace, currently based at Cambridge Airport, announced earlier this year that its plans to relocate to Cranfield University’s site fell through as it was “no longer affordable”.It then announced in May that it had plans to move to Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales, which could affect 158 employees. The Unite union announced on Monday (July 13) that around 250 members at Marshall Aerospace are balloting for strike action in a dispute over pay.The workers considering strike action are engineers who maintain the C-130 Hercules aircraft and manufacture auxiliary fuel tanks for the Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft.Unite regional officer Neil Moore said: “Quite frankly, Marshall Aerospace needs to treat these workers better if it doesn’t want to see disruptive strike action and an exodus of highly skilled employees to companies offering better pay and greater job security.”That means putting forward a pay offer that recognises the value of this workforce and gives people a reason to stay. Unite remains available for negotiations at any time, and there is still every opportunity to resolve this dispute through meaningful talks.”Workers rejected the company’s offer of a 4.5 per cent increase in pay offer. Since 2020, pay has fallen by around 16 per cent at Marshall Aerospace, according to the union.The ballot to vote on strike action closes on July 21. Any strike action that takes place could have an impact on the support provided to allied military aircraft programmes, including the maintenance of the C-130 Hercules aircraft, Unite said.

Gordon Ramsay’s Carnaby Restaurant Opens Today!
Disney just announced that 1960s British gastropub, known as the Carnaby by Chef Gordon Ramsay will soft open tonight in the second-level space above the new Earl of Sandwich restaurant at Disneyland Resort. Here are full details & photos, along with the full menu, operating hours, more.
This new location in Downtown Disney is officially named Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby. It joins several other new food & beverage options to explore on the west end of the Downtown Disney District, including the following:The all-new, world’s largest Earl of Sandwich is now open below the Carnaby, serving menu classics including The Original 1762, The Full Montagu and The Holiday Turkey, as well as other freshly baked sandwiches on artisan breads, soups, salads, sides, breakfast items and desserts.
Big Boi Lumpia is the newest cart addition in Downtown Disney, where guests can discover Filipino flavors including crispy lumpia with choices of sweet and savory, and refreshing juices.
Happy Ice brings their vibrant Philadelphia-style Italian ice to another new cart in the district. These refreshing treats are all-natural and made from scratch with real fruit, pure cane sugar and premium ingredients.As for Chef Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant, it draws inspiration from the Carnaby Street era during the height of the 1960s cultural revolution. The restaurant blends British culinary tradition with modern technique in a social atmosphere designed to shift from day to night.
The Carnaby features three distinct dining environments, including energetic social dining spaces, more intimate settings for private gatherings and group occasions, and an expansive terrace overlooking the Downtown Disney District, offering a stunning view of the Disneyland fireworks on select nights.
Interior design at the Carnaby continues the Swinging London theme with curated artwork, a statement mural, and design elements inspired by the era, along with a soundtrack of 1960s British Invasion hits.“All eyes were on London in the 1960s, a full on fantastic technicolour scene of people going out and having fun. We are bringing those cool vibes to Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby,” Chef Ramsay said when the restaurant was initially announced. “Stunning interiors, incredible food and great music, whether it’s date night or dinner with friends or family, The Carnaby is going to bring the very best of cool Britannia to Downtown Disney District.”
Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby will also come alive after dark with live music on select evenings. Keep the evening swinging with themed performances carrying the energy of the ‘60s, making it the perfect destination for both dinner and a night out.
Here’s the full menu for Gordon Ramsay at the Carnaby:The menu centers on Gordon Ramsay’s approach to elevated comfort cuisine, including his Beef Wellington, Fish & Chips with triple-cooked fries, and Sticky Toffee Pudding, along with reimagined classics like Bangers & Mash and Cottage Pie. Globally influenced dishes include Branzino, Chicken Milanese, and a Chickpea Tikka Masala.
A defining element of the experience is the restaurant’s tableside Prime Rib Cart, where guests can enjoy hand-carved selections served with traditional British accompaniments, including Yorkshire pudding, roasted vegetables, and au jus. This interactive offering anchors the dining room and reinforces the Carnaby’s focus on experience-driven dining. We’ll be testing out this Prime Rib Cart soon–for research, of course!
The beverage program includes cocktails such as the Passionfruit Royale, finished with a fruit sphere, and the Cherry Baby, layered with elderflower, citrus, and botanical elements. A globally sourced wine list and curated beer selection round out the offerings.
Here are photos of the interior of Gordon Ramsay at the Carnaby (by Christian Thompson for Disneyland Resort):The Carnaby accommodates 175 guests and has a vibe that’s conducive for a range of experiences, from regular ole fresh out of the parks daytime dining to sophisticated evenings out. We’d expect this to be a popular spot with attendees of the Anaheim Convention Center, including (especially) the 2026 D23 Expo, which is exactly one month away!
During its soft opening, The Carnaby will serve dinner nightly from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., with breakfast and lunch service to be added in the coming months. Reservations are encouraged and can be made via OpenTable, and walk-ins are welcome based upon availability.We’re really looking forward the Carnaby by Chef Gordon Ramsay.
Our only real hang-up is with pricing. It looks pricey. It’s a lovely location, especially the open air second floor, but $14 for bread, $25 for a burger, $33 for fish & chips, $73 for beef wellington, and ~$15 for sides seems a bit on the high side. Here’s hoping the cuisine quality justifies those price points.
This is about on par with Paseo and Din Tai Fung (everyone’s favorite). Those are also pricey, but worth it. But as much as we enjoy Din Tai Fung and Paseo, Centrico is our sleeper pick as the best of the bunch and where we dine most often; it’s not really that expensive.Ultimately, our hope is that Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby can match the atmospheric quality of Parkside Market’s second floor with the cuisine caliber of Centrico, but while bringing something unique to the table as a 1960s inspired British gastropub. This has the potential to be a winning combo, and one of the best restaurant concepts in Downtown Disney’s ever-improving dining scene. We can’t wait!
