Tottenham’s highly-rated winger Tynan Thompson has joined Manchester United in a deal worth up to £8million.
Spurs academy graduate Thompson scored seven goals in the UEFA Youth League last season and frequently starred at left wing for the under-21s.
However, the Press Association reports that Thompson, 18, started to grow frustrated at a lack of first-team chances at Tottenham, despite being named on the bench three times in the 2025-26 campaign and has completed a transfer to United, subject to registration.
Personal family circumstances have also been cited as a reason behind the departure, with a desire expressed by Thompson’s family to relocate to the Manchester area, sources close to Spurs have told PA.
Thompson, who had to handle the unexpected death of his father last November, has joined United for an initial £4m, with a further £4m included in add-ons.
A sell-on clause in the region of 15 to 20 per cent and a matching rights condition, which may allow Tottenham to bring Thompson back to the club in the future, has also been included in the deal.
“Everyone at United would like to welcome Tynan to the club and wish him the very best of luck for the future,” a club statement read.
Brazil international Joao Gomes has joined Aston Villa in a deal reportedly worth £38m.
Midfielder Gomes, 25, who has won 10 caps for his country, ends a three-and-a-half-year spell at Wolves where he made 130 appearances after signing from Flamengo in Brazil.
Wolves technical director Matt Jackson said: “Joao deserves everything he gets from the game. He’s the type of professional that coaches love and players love, so he will go on to be the outstanding player that we know he is.”
Gomes’ arrival at Villa comes following the departure of Youri Tielemans to Manchester United and Morgan Rogers on the brink of making a £117m move to Chelsea.
