[article]Leeds United are delighted to announce Helder Costa has now officially joined the club on a permanent basis.

The Portugal international has put pen to paper on a four-year contract, running until the summer of 2024.

Wes Foderingham - Sheffield United (free transfer)

[article]
Chris Wilder has moved quickly to bolster United's goalkeeping ranks for next season with the addition of Wes Foderingham on a three-year contract.

The 29-year-old, who has featured against the Blades for Swindon Town in previous seasons, signs at Bramall Lane having left Glasgow Rangers at the end of May.

"I'm delighted to join Sheffield United," Foderingham told sufc.co.uk. "It is an exciting time for the club after an incredible first season back in the Premier League. I'm looking forward to meeting the team and can't wait to get started."

Foderingham began his career in the capital with Fulham but signed his first professional contact with Crystal Palace and had a number of loan spells to further his development. In October 2011, he joined Swindon Town on loan and impressed manager Paolo Di Canio, keeping nine clean sheets in 15 games, prompting the Italian to make the transfer a permanent one for an undisclosed fee in January 2012.

During his time at the County Ground, the former England youth international came up against the Blades in the dramatic play-off semi-final contest in May 2015, which ended 5-5 in the second-leg, although Foderingham left Town after they failed to overcome Preston North End in the final at Wembley.

Having amassed over 150 starts for the Robins, the Hammersmith-born stopper moved north of the border in July 2015, penning a three-year deal for the Ibrox club. During his first three campaigns with the Gers, Foderingham was consistently first choice and made over 100 appearances for the Glasgow club, including five last term.

United's goalkeeping coach, Darren Ward, commented: "We have followed his development for a number of years and are delighted to be able to bring him in to bolster the goalkeeping department to give us options and competition for places. Wes is an experienced 'keeper and we look forward to working with him."

Jude Bellingham - Borussia Dortmund (reportedly €25m)

[article]
Another highly sought-after talent has decided to join Borussia Dortmund: 17-year-old Jude Bellingham will move from Birmingham City FC to the Black and Yellows from the German Ruhr Valley. The young Englishman has signed a long-term deal with his new club and, despite his young age, will join their first team squad from day one.

By adding Bellingham, the list of top-level talent who see BVB as the ideal place for their personal development at highest level while adding value to the team right away just gets longer. "Jude Bellingham has decided with absolute confidence to pursue his career at Borussia Dortmund. The primary motivation behind his decision were the prospects on the pitch we were able to offer him", said Dortmund’s sporting director, Michael Zorc, adding: "He has enormous potential, which we will continue to develop together with him over the coming years. He already boasts astonishing quality with and without the ball, and has a strong mentality to boot. Jude will immediately strengthen our first team squad, but we will certainly give him all the time he needs to adapt to the higher level of play."

Bellingham, who also plays for England’s under-17 national team (3 caps, 2 goals), is about to finish a long season in the Championship, in which he has contributed 4 goals and 3 assists from midfield in his 40 appearances. "I can’t thank Birmingham City enough for what they have done for me – not just this season, but since the age of 7. Of course, I wish everyone associated with the club nothing but the best. Once a blue, always a blue. However, I’m incredibly excited to have joined one of the biggest clubs in Europe. The direction they are heading in and how much they help young players improve made it an easy decision for me personally and my family. I can’t wait to perform in front of over 80,000 fans when they are back inside one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world – hopefully as soon as possible!"

Bellingham will join up with his new team on 30 July as they prepare for the upcoming season, including a week-long training camp in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland. He will continue to wear number 22 at Borussia Dortmund. Financial terms of the deal will not be released.

[article]
Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis says Lille ‘will receive circa €80m’ for Victor Osimhen, who was a main target for Gennaro Gattuso, and the player will earn ‘€4-4.5m’ per year.

The 21-year-old striker was finally announced this afternoon, following weeks of complex negotiations and moments in which it looked as if the whole deal was off.

“We are very happy at Osimhen’s arrival,” said De Laurentiis on Radio Kiss Kiss.

“The young man has been enchanted by Partenope (the ancient name for Naples, ndr). He will wear the Number 9 jersey.”

This is only a taster of the full radio interview, which will be transmitted this evening, but the radio station did release some key quotes, including the debate over how much the transfer cost.

“Gattuso really wanted to sign Osimhen. (Director of sport Cristiano) Giuntoli did a great job, because the lad changed his agents during the negotiations.

“Lille will receive circa €80m, while the player over the years will get between €4m and €4.5m per season.”

According to Sky Sport Italia, the actual cash fee is only €47.5m net (€50m gross), with another €10m in hard to get bonuses, plus four players put together and valued at €20m.
