With a move for Ferran Torres done and dusted, Manchester City have signed Nathan Ake with the Dutch defender signing for the Cityzens from Bournemouth. The former Chelsea defender was heavily linked with a move away after the Cherries were relegated on the final day of the 2019/20 season.

With speculations rife about their future together, Bournemouth have confirmed that manager Eddie Howe has left the club by mutual consent. The 42-year-old was the Premier League’s longest-serving manager before the Cherries got relegated and led the club in more than 450 games across two spells.

The digital, culture, media and sport (DCMS) select committee has called for the Premier League to scrap parachute payments and introduce a salary cap. Reports have indicated that the League One and League Two will introduce salary caps but the Premier League and Championship have resisted the move.

Richard Bevan, the chief of the League Managers Association, has urged club owners across English football league to give managers more time in the hot seat before sacking them. This comes after Watford sacked their third manager of the season in Nigel Pearson with Hayden Mullins replacing him.
