Rooney targets United reunion

Derby are keen to sign reportedly out-of-contract defender Phil Bardsley this summer.

The Rams have been continuously linked with the 36-year-old, who is yet to have his future confirmed by Burnley following their relegation from the Premier League.

This could see boss Wayne Rooney reunite with his ex-Manchester United team-mate at Pride Park.

The ex-Sunderland man amassed 71 outings in five years at Turf Moor, yet only managed three cup appearances last term.

Despite strong interest, a deal will not be complete until American businessman Chris Kirchner finalises his takeover of Derby.

Premier League interest in Ipswich starlet

Arsenal and West Ham are reportedly eyeing a summer swoop for Ipswich youngster Tawanda Chirewa.

The Premier League duo are both keen to recruit the 18-year-old to strengthen their development squads.

The striker impressed in the Professional Development League Two South last term, scoring 12 times as Town’s under-23’s side claimed the title.

Chirewa’s first professional appearance came in the Papa John’s Trophy in 2019, registering as the Blues’ second ever youngest player.

The Shenfield-born forward is out of contract this summer, but Town are keen to offer improved terms to retain his services at Portman Road.
