Here is our EPL transfers and news round-up from today’s papers.
England in EURO Quarter-Finals
The Three Lions were lucky to secure a come-from-behind win in extra time against Slovakia after a tepid performance. They fell behind to a first half goal from Ivan Schranz, and only managed to level the scores with virtually the final kick of the game. But what a kick it was: an overhead one from Bellingham.
In the opening minute of extra time Harry Kane scored the goal that took England to the next stage, setting up a game against Switzerland on July 6 in Düsseldorf.

New Manchester United Sporting Director?
According to ESPN, United are close to reaching a settlement with Newcastle and appoint Dan Ashworth as their new sporting director.
Since February, when he let his current club know that he wants to join United, Ashworth has been on leave, and Newcastle have been holding out for £20 million to let him go. However, now the end of this saga seems to be in sight.
He will be the third big appointment since the arrival of INEOS at United, after it has been confirmed that Omar Berrada will begin his work as CEO on July 13, joining from Manchester City, and Jason Wilcox has already assumed the position of technical director after coming in from Southampton.
