Premier League Darts Finals Night LIVE! Updates, video, commentary as Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Gerwyn Price, and Jonny Clayton go for glory

Drury named new Huddersfield head coach

Martin Drury has been appointed Huddersfield's new head coach.

The 40-year-old has been at the club since January 2026 and was previously assistant to Liam Manning, who was granted compassionate leave in March and left by mutual consent earlier this month.

Drury has previously worked at Bradford, West Brom, Man Utd and Valencia.

Before joining Huddersfield, he had a short spell working as assistant first team coach under Keith Andrews at Brentford.

Former Terriers striker Jon Stead will be Drury's assistant.

Hinchliffe to leave Stockport

Stockport have announced Ben Hinchliffe will leave the club this summer.

The goalkeeper, 38, joined the club in the summer of 2016 and went on to make 427 appearances in all competitions, including 28 in 2025/26.

That figure puts Hinchliffe - who won three league titles during his decade at the club - sixth in County's all-time appearance list.

On August 1, Stockport will take on Preston in his testimonial at Edgeley Park.

'Man Utd have scope to spend money this summer'

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire analyses Manchester United's latest financial results...

Do these results justify the job cuts that were made? 

"It's an interesting one that they did make reference to. It could be argued the money saved from making 400 people redundant is broadly equivalent to the wages will have saved putting Marcus Rashford out on loan to Barcelona.

"Some other players went out on loan and they'll also have another substantial reduction in their wage bill with Casemiro leaving in the summer. That's very good for recruitment because it's freeing up space on the wage bill.

"Because they're in Europe, they'll be guaranteed substantial amounts of money; there will be at least four sold-out matches at Old Trafford plus, realistically, another 30-40m from competing in the competition. That will make Man Utd fans very excited over the summer."

Will the club look to reinvest this summer?

"They've got the scope to do so. The loans are the same as last year, but it's notable that the overdraft was reduced by 30m - again, that's freeing up cash. So they've got flexibility and that's what managers are hoping for.

"The nature of football trading is that you've got to use the exit door as well as the people coming through. But it's arrivals that excite fans and they've certainly got the scope to spend money.

"This is Man Utd. They've got the third most expensive squad in the Premier League and there's no reason why they can't add to that."

Norwich skipper McLean signs new deal

Norwich have announced Kenny McLean has signed a new two-year deal at Carrow Road.

The 34-year-old midfielder has played 310 times for the Canaries since joining from Aberdeen in January 2018.

Speaking to the club's official website, he said: I'm over the moon to know that I'm going to be here for the next couple of years it's a place that me and my family call home. 

The environment I find myself in every day with the staff and the players is great to be amongst. 

I want more of that and I think everything is being laid now to bring that success to the football club. I'm desperate to be a part of that.

Barcelona make 70m bid for Newcastle's Gordon

Latest from Your Site News' Keith Downie:

Barcelona have made an offer in the region of 70m for Anthony Gordon. 

The two clubs are in advanced talks over the potential move of the England international. 

Newcastle looking for a fee of around 75m or more, with talks continuing.

Hearts announce pre-contract deal for Kamson-Kamara.

Heart have announced the pre-contract signing of MJ Kamson-Kamara.

The centre-back has agreed a deal until 2030 and will join on July 1, following the expiration of his contract at newly promoted Sky Bet Championship side Lincoln City.

Lincoln have confirmed they will be due a cross-border compensation fee to cover four years of his development at the club. 

Lincoln's Sporting Director Jez George says this will be 'six-figure' - so in excess of 100,000.

Filipe Luis in talks to take over at Leverkusen

Filipe Luis is in talks to take the coaching position at Bayer Leverkusen, according to Sky Germany.

The Brazilian is currently the top favourite over Andoni Iraola, the soon-to-be ex-Bournemouth boss, to replace Kasper Hjulmand.

The plan is to announce Hjulmand's departure as soon as his successor is confirmed. 

The Danish coach took over at Bayer after the abrupt dismissal of Erik ten Hag, who had to leave after the second matchday of the past season, and signed a contract until 2027.

The 40-year-old Luis made 333 appearances for Atletico Madrid and 44 for the Brazilian national team. 

After ending his playing career at Flamengo on January 1, 2024, the former left-back took over the Brazilian club in September 2024 and led Flamengo to, among other achievements, the league title and the Copa Libertadores.

However, Luis was dismissed in March of this year and is now a top candidate for Bayer Leverkusen.

Iraola has also held talks with AC Milan.

Mingueza wants Premier League move this summer

Latest from Your Site News' Patrick Rowe:

Soon-to-be free agent Oscar Mingueza wants to move to the Premier League this summer. 

The Celta Vigo defender, capable of playing right-back and centre-back, is out of contract at the end of June.

Aston Villa and Newcastle United are among the Premier League clubs who have been tracking Mingueza.

Top clubs in Serie A and LaLiga are also interested.

Man Utd close to agreeing Ederson deal

Latest from Your Site News' Vik Varange and Lyall Thomas:

Manchester United are close to agreeing a deal with Atalanta for Ederson. 

Talks are in the final stages over a fee in the region of 38m.

Sources expect the fee to be broken down into a 35m (40.5m) guaranteed payment plus 3m (3.5m) in add-ons. 

A full agreement for the midfielder could be reached by the end of the week.
