UMVA has learned that Premier League teams are making a strong push to sign Championship star Hayden Hackney this summer, with several top clubs eyeing the talented young midfielder.
The 23-year-old has established himself as a key player in the Championship, and his impressive form has sparked a fierce bidding war among top-tier teams. Hackney's boyhood club Middlesbrough are holding out for a significant fee, reportedly around £25m, for the talented youngster.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Everton are among the clubs interested in signing Hackney, with the Toffees looking to bolster their squad under David Moyes. The Merseyside club have already made offers of £12m and £15m, but Middlesbrough are holding firm.
Middlesbrough's valuation of Hackney appears justified given his senior experience and room for growth. The club is banking on other teams joining the chase, with Crystal Palace and Sunderland mentioned as potential suitors.
In a related development, UMVA can exclusively reveal that the Premier League's top teams are circling a highly sought-after player who has yet to agree a new deal at his current club. Tottenham are keen to improve their team drastically this summer, no matter the cost, and are eyeing a major signing.
The North London club's ambitions are clear, and their willingness to spend big could spark a major transfer battle. With several top teams in pursuit, the summer promises to be an exciting and unpredictable one in the world of football.
