Everton midfielder Amadou Onana isn't going to 'look to drive' a potential exit from the club this summer despite speculation over his future, according to journalist Dean Jones.

What's the latest transfer news involving Amadou Onana?

According to The Daily Mail, Everton are under pressure to sell Onana this summer as financial problems threaten to derail Sean Dyche's plans to rebuild his side ahead of next term.

The report states that Everton are in need of another major sale alongside Anthony Gordon's £45 million exit to Newcastle United in January to balance the books, as they are in 'special measures' with the Premier League due to hemorrhaging a loss of over £370 million over the last three years.

Football Insider claim that Onana could be sold for up to £60 million in the off-season to generate transfer funds in light of their financial restrictions.

Manchester United are keen on the £100k-a-week ace; however, he also has interest from other clubs in the English top-flight in his services.

As per The Sun, they reported earlier this year that Onana is a target for Chelsea and they previously held an attraction towards him in the January transfer window.

Speaking to Football FanCast, journalist Jones thinks that any prospective Onana exit this summer will be driven by the club and their desire to recoup transfer funds rather than by the player himself.

Jones told FFC: "If they are under pressure to sell him, it won't come from him. I think that that's quite important to point out; he's not going to look to drive anything here, even though he's been one of their best players no doubt."

Would losing Amadou Onana be a blow for Everton?

Losing Onana would be a sizable blow for Everton this summer. However, the unfortunate reality of their financial situation means that they may have to sell one or two star men to get out of hot water with the Premier League.

In 2022/23, Onana made 35 appearances in all competitions for Everton, registering one goal and two assists in total, as per Transfermarkt.

WhoScored also takes into account that the Belgium international was strong in the tackle across the campaign, successfully winning 2.2 challenges per match in the English top flight.

As per FBRef, Onana has also excelled in comparison to his positional peers in Europe's top five divisions in the art of aerial duels won, having averaged around 2.17 per game across the last 365 days, putting him in the seventh percentile for this metric.

Everton will be desperate to keep hold of Onana despite interest in his services, though the decision may be taken out of his hands as the club look to balance the books at Goodison Park.

Chelsea are holding “contact and talks” regarding a deal to bring Gabri Veiga to the Premier League, according to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg.

How good is Gabri Veiga?

Veiga is a central midfielder who currently plays his football for Celta Vigo in La Liga, having worked his way up through the various youth ranks to graduate from their academy. He’s now become a regular feature of the first-team, clocking up 55 senior appearances to date.

The Spaniard still has another three years to run on his contract at the Balaidos Stadium, but after establishing himself as his homeland outfit’s second top-performing offensive player last season, has been highlighted as an ideal transfer target by Mauricio Pochettino.

Reliable reporter Rudy Galetti revealed earlier this month that the Blues are one of several clubs to have “shown interest” in the 21-year-old, whilst Jacob Steinberg later claimed that a bid "could arrive soon”, and if the following update is to be believed, the two parties may already be discussing a switch to Stamford Bridge.

Are Chelsea signing Veiga?

Taking to Twitter, Plettenberg revealed that Chelsea are currently in negotiations with Celta Vigo and Veiga regarding a move ahead of the 2023/24 campaign. He wrote:

“Gabri Veiga is ready for the next step now. He will leave Celta Vigo. His management is considering many options as he could become a future top player in central midfield. Contact and talks with CFC and others. Release clause of around €40m [£34m] – confirmed. Bayern is not involved.”

Should Boehly make a bid for Veiga?

Chelsea will know that Veiga only being 21 means he would be more of an investment for the long-term future of the club, but having already started to show what he’s capable of on the main stage, Todd Boehly should certainly consider tabling an offer to secure his services.

The Gol International client – the same agency used by Christopher Nkunku – posted 15 goal contributions (11 goals and four assists) in 36 La Liga appearances last season, form which saw him collect three man-of-the-match awards, but the central midfielder was also a threat even when the ball didn’t hit the back of the net.

The Spain U21s starlet was averaging 3.14 shot-creating actions per league game which was the second-highest number in his squad, via FBRef, so he’s always looking to produce moments of quality for his fellow teammates.

Veiga has been lauded an “electric” player by journalist Fabrizio Romano for his youthful pace and energetic nature, so should he put pen to paper, it would be a massive coup for Pochettino.

Leeds United have earmarked Daniel Farke as their prime candidate in the race to secure a new manager ahead of the return to the Championship.

That's according to a recent report from the Daily Mail, which claims that the German boss has emerged as the frontrunner ahead of Scott Parker and Patrick Vieira after the Whites suffered relegation from the Premier League.

Farke has secured promotion to the Premier League on two occasions, and given that he implements a 'Bielsa-style' philosophy, he could get Elland Road rocking in no time.

Could Daniel Farke succeed at Leeds?

Farke most recently took the helm with German Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach, but after a lacklustre term that yielded a tenth-placed finish, he was dismissed several weeks ago after just one year in charge.

However, despite flattering to deceive in his homeland, the 46-year-old boasts a wealth of experience with the Canaries on English shores and would undoubtedly bring the requisite tools to craft an ascent back to the Premier League at Elland Road.

Indeed, earning plaudits for his emphasis on ball-playing ability, swift transitions and high intensity at Norwich, Farke could emulate his past feats with the Whites and create a team worthy of a swift climb from the obscurity of the second division, all the while returning to a philosophy the fans can get behind after the past success of the revered Marcelo Bielsa.

And given he previously nurtured man of the moment, James Maddison, to prominence at Carrow Road, he could unlock the potential of lacklustre midfielder Brenden Aaronson, who may well be reborn at Leeds next season.

Indeed, before the England international made the £20m switch to Leicester City – where he won the FA Cup and is being touted with a move to the likes of Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur – he shone for Norwich under the German tactician.

Maddison scored 15 goals and supplied 12 assists from 49 outings under Farke's tutelage and is indebted to his former manager, who built the framework of his career.

Hailed as "exceptional" by England boss Gareth Southgate, Maddison was impressive despite Leicester's relegation alongside Leeds last term and recorded an average Sofascore rating of 7.33, scoring ten goals, providing nine assists and averaging 2.8 shots and 2.3 key passes per outing – an incredibly high output for a player at the centre of a team wracked with danger.

Signing from RB Salzburg for around £25m last summer, the USMNT international has comparatively not been at the races and after scoring just one Premier League goal all season and earning a woeful 6.51 rating – as per Sofascore – he certainly could do with some revitalisation after a "disappointing" year – according to pundit Jon Newsome.

But despite the woes, the £45k-per-week earner averaged 1.1 shots and 1.3 key passes per game, certainly worse numbers than Maddison but it provides a glimpse of their similar qualities. With Leeds ostensibly set to fight at the forefront of the Championship next term, Aaronson could craft the prolific success to kickstart his career and set him in good stead to alight the Premier League at the second time of asking.

West Ham United may be about to lose their captain, best player and all-round fan favourite, but the wider view of Declan Rice's imminent £105m switch to Arsenal is that David Moyes has funds to strengthen in multiple positions.

Who are West Ham United looking to sign?

John Cross claims in a report in The Mirror that West Ham have eyed up as many as seven newbies to bolster their ranks once the Rice sale – making him the second most-expensive British player of all time – officially goes through.

Among those being targeted by the Europa Conference League winners are Denis Zakaria of Juventus, Everton's Amadou Onana and Manchester United captain Harry Maguire.

While Maguire's name will not exactly get supporters' pulses racing all that much on the back of losing Rice, it is a move that could make sense in more ways than one.

The England international has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford and, according to TEAMtalk, he is available for £30m this summer – £50m cheaper than four years ago when he arrived at United from Leicester City.

Is Harry Maguire a good option for West Ham?

Maguire was restricted to just eight Premier League starts last season and a further eight appearances from the substitutes' bench after failing to win over head coach Erik ten Hag.

However, the 30-year-old – roughly entering the peak age for a centre-back – still performed to a high standard when called upon by Ten Hag last season, and likewise for England during the recent international break.

As Ten Hag himself said after bringing Maguire into the side for a Europa League tie against Real Betis in March, the Englishman has arguably become a "more dominant and dictating" defender, and one who is "taking more initiative."

FBref's player comparison model puts Maguire pretty much on a par with team-mate Raphael Varane and Real Madrid's Eder Militao in terms of their statistical profiles across the past 12 months, showing he is far from finished.

The 2.94 aerial duels Maguire won per 90 minutes last season, as per FBref, is higher than any West Ham defender (Angelo Ogbonna is highest ranked with 2.55), while his pass-completion percentage of 85.1 is again higher than any Hammers defenders from last season (Kurt Zouma 84.4).

There is no hiding from the fact that Maguire is not the colossus he was early in his United career, but Moyes may just be the perfect man to kick-start his career – just like he did with Jesse Lingard's.

Lingard joined West Ham on loan from Man United in January 2021 at a time when many had written off his Old Trafford career (sound familiar?), only to score nine goals and assist five more in 16 games for the Irons.

That was more goals in half a season than he managed in any of his six full campaigns in Manchester, which would earn him a place back in the United team the following season.

It may have only been a temporary revitalisation for Lingard, who flopped at Nottingham Forest last season having not found the net in the Premier League, but Moyes proved the man to get the best out of him at his lowest point.

Different positions they may be, but who is to say the Scotsman cannot now do the same with Maguire?

West Ham United could join the race for Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge, transfer insider Dean Jones told GIVEMESPORT.

What is the latest news regarding Sander Berge to West Ham?

Reports state that the Sheffield United midfielder could be available for £10 million this summer, due to the player's unwillingness to sign a new contract. And, one thing that could work in favour of the Hammers' is the fact that the player's contract expires in the summer of 2024 and as such the club could be forced to cash in on the Norwegian to avoid missing out on a fee for a player they paid €25.00m (£21.5m) for four seasons ago.

Fulham's Joao Palhinha has been mentioned as a potential target for the Hammers, whilst Southampton's James Ward-Prowse is another name that has also been linked to a switch to the London Stadium, however, both options have been quoted at major transfer fees, which may force the club to pivot to different targets.

The Hammers are looking to replace the outbound Declan Rice, and Jones expects West Ham to be considering the Norweigan, along with a number of other Premier League sides.

What are Dean Jones' thoughts on Sander Berge's potential move to West Ham?

When asked about a potential West Ham move for the midfielder, Jones said to GIVEMESPORT: "I wouldn't be surprised if Fulham had another look at this, especially at £10 million. It wouldn't even surprise me if West Ham got involved in a conversation like that if it was such good value.”

What do Sander Berge's stats look like at Sheffield United last season?

Berge has had a positive spell at the Blades, garnering praise from fans and pundits alike, with his former manager Chris Wilder calling him a "complete midfielder".

He was an ever-present during the Blades' promotion push, featuring 43 times across all competitions, as well as producing an incredible seven goals and six assists in all competitions.

And, he isn't short of Premier League experience either as the midfielder has made 29 appearances across the club's two top-flight campaigns, registering four goals and assists. This experience should enable him to be a more seamless fit into the side.

A concern for the Hammers could be his injury worries, with him missing 80 games in his career already, at the age of just 25. It is a stark contrast from Rice who has missed only one game in his career through injury or illness.

Althought, when you take his stats into account and the fact that he costs almost £70m-£80m less than Joao Palhinha at Fulham, it seems like a no-brainer, especially as he already has that experience and more of an attacking ability with his creation, similar to what Declan Rice has started to add to his game in recent seasons. His height is also something that fits right in at the London Stadium, standing at 6ft 5 inches, with Tomas Soucek proving to be an absolute menace from set-pieces for David Moyes' side in years gone by, so fans will surely be up for more of the same.

Chelsea will keep hold of striker Armando Broja for the coming season and he will need to make an 'impact' at Stamford Bridge to avoid being cut loose in the future, according to journalist Dean Jones.

What's the latest news involving Armando Broja?

According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea forward Broja could seek a move away from Stamford Bridge this window following the arrival of Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal.

West Ham, Crystal Palace, Burnley and Brentford are all keen to take him off the hands of the Blues and Broja's entourage are said to be 'exploring' alternative avenues for him to take his next career step.

Broja has been back out on the training field at Cobham in pre-season following missing the entire second half of last campaign due to a horrific knee injury he picked up in a friendly against Aston Villa in mid-season, as per Football London.

Last month, journalist Simon Phillips took to Twitter to update Chelsea fans on manager Mauricio Pochettino's view of Broja and his vision for the Albania international, stating: "Everyone at the club as well as Poch has a real belief in Broja – was part of the reason we didn’t rush into signing a new 9 in January. Poch feels if he gets back to his best, Broja can be perfect for his system."

Nevertheless, the imminent return of Broja to first-team action hasn't put Chelsea off potentially strengthening their depth in the striker position further, with Corriere dello Sport via The Daily Express claiming that the Blues are 'pushing hard' to try and land Juventus hitman Dusan Vlahovic.

Speaking to Football FanCast, journalist Jones has revealed that Chelsea will keep hold of Broja for now; however, he thinks that the £40k-a-week ace must take any opportunities in the side by the scruff of the neck to avoid becoming out-of-favour at Stamford Bridge.

Jones told FFC: "He's got to make an impact early on; at the moment, the signals are that he'll remain with Chelsea, but that can flip so quickly. He has to have encouraging signs; otherwise, I don't think he'll want to hang around and be out of the picture again."

Should Chelsea give Armando Broja an opportunity to stake his claim for action?

It wouldn't hurt, put it that way, though Broja will know himself that he will need to make his presence felt on the pitch to stand a chance of being in Pochettino's long-term plans at Chelsea.

Taking his whole Chelsea career under the microscope, Broja has made just 19 senior appearances for the club, netting one goal and laying on a solitary assist, as per Transfermarkt.

WhoScored show that in 2022/23, Broja earned an average rating of 6.29/10 for his exploits on the pitch, though it is perhaps a tad unfair to criticise the 21-year-old too much, taking into account he was granted just two Premier League starts and ten substitute appearances before his injury struggles.

The Evening Standard cite that Broja should be ready to play a part in Chelsea's pre-season tour of the United States, where they will take on Sky Bet League Two side Wrexham, followed by bouts against Fulham, Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League Summer Series and a 'one-off' friendly against Borussia Dortmund.

In all likelihood, these matches may prove pivotal to Broja's chances of being regarded as a reliable option at senior level for Chelsea in 2023/24 and he will be champing at the bit to impress Pochettino if he is given a chance to play his part.

Tottenham Hotspur seem to finally be honing in on one much-needed signing, to continue Ange Postecoglou's impressive summer rebuild.

Who have Spurs signed?

The latest on their pursuit for Micky van de Ven comes courtesy of Football Insider, who are suggesting that the Lilywhites have cleared a big hurdle towards bringing him in on a permanent deal.

Having now agreed personal terms, there is a confidence around north London that a deal can finally be struck despite a fee having not been agreed with VfL Wolfsburg.

It is noted that Spurs are only willing to pay around £25m for the Dutch U21 international, whilst the German club is holding out for just £30m. This narrow disparity in valuation would prove a minor stumbling block for most clubs, but with Daniel Levy likely leading the negotiations, his patented frugality could stutter a deal that is there to be completed.

This comes following the earlier signings of James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario and Manor Solomon, on top of the permanent acquisitions of Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski following loan spells.

Is Micky van de Ven good?

Despite being so young, Van de Ven already boasts vast top-flight experience that suggests he would be able to make an instant impact for Postecoglou.

With all the physical attributes to dominate English football, and youth on his side with regard to development, under this Australian tactician he could develop into the next big defensive icon to star in the Premier League.

It has only been six years since Liverpool unloaded a mouth-watering £75m to sign his compatriot Virgil van Dijk, who proved to be a revolutionary addition for Jurgen Klopp. The German had been slowly building towards greatness, and in tempting Southampton to sell they added one of the final pieces of the puzzle.

The 32-year-old has since featured 222 times for the Reds, playing vital roles in their Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup victories.

He was famed for his casual approach to defending, and despite standing at 6 foot 5, had a fine turn of pace as well as technical prowess beyond many in his role.

As such, when compared to other centre-backs across Europe he ranks in the top 4% for passes attempted per 90, and even clocked the fastest speed in the Champions League during the 2018/19 season.

Fortunately for Spurs, Van de Ven would arrive already boasting the foundation to emulate these attributes, which Wolfsburg’s managing director for sport, Marcel Schäfer outlined: "Left foot, extreme speed, plays every second. Micky [has performed] consistently very well throughout the season. He’s a player with huge potential and this season in particular has shown incredible development."

This was supplemented by Ruben Jongkind, the former Head of Talent Development of the Academy at Ajax, who noted: "I worked at Ajax with the biggest talents but the speed that this guy has for a defender? It is crazy."

To pair this with his performances in the Bundesliga last term, he would maintain a 6.85 average rating which was supported by his 88% pass accuracy, 1.4 tackles and 3.1 clearances per game, via Sofascore.

Clearly in possession of defensive steel, but with speed and power to rival that of a prime Van Dijk, perhaps Postecoglou could also build his own dynasty on the back of this Dutch defender with the world at his feet.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are embroiled in a 'tug-of-war' with other interested parties as they try to land Bristol City playmaker Alex Scott, according to journalist Dean Jones.

Is Alex Scott going to Wolverhampton Wanderers?

As per Football Insider, Wolves are set to make another bid for Bristol City playmaker Scott as they try to finalise a deal to bring the 19-year-old to Molineux.

The outlet claim that the Old Gold have already seen two offers turned down for Scott, with the second being at around the £20 million mark; however, they are preparing another attempt to land the England Under-20 international, who is valued at £25 million by Bristol City chairman Jon Lansdown.

Premier League outfit Bournemouth are also keen on signing Scott this summer and failed with an offer of £15 million for his services last week as Bristol City stand firm on their valuation of the Guernsey-born midfielder, as per The Daily Mail.

West Ham United and Inter Milan hold an attraction towards Scott; nevertheless, it is thought that Wolves and Bournemouth are frontrunners in the race to offer him a taste of English top flight football at present.

Last term, Scott enjoyed an impressive campaign for Bristol City, registering two goals and five assists in 49 appearances across all competitions, as per Transfermarkt.

Scott also provided plenty of opportunities for his teammates over the course of the season, racking up 87 shot-creating actions in the Sky Bet Championship, according to FBRef.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, journalist Jones has signalled that Wolves are indeed set to up the ante as they try to sign Scott by bidding once more for the starlet.

Jones stated: "Wolves were not expected to go this heavy on Alex Scott based on the fact they are still having to tiptoe around FFP numbers. It shows big intent to make an offer that could reach £20million for a player of his age but at the same time, it was never going to be a deal that would be agreed.

"What they have done is retaliated to Bournemouth’s opening £15million offer and, in theory, we now have a tug-of-war between the clubs. Another bid from both Wolves and Bournemouth is very likely and I would actually edge towards Bournemouth feeling the most confidence about being able to strike a deal on this one.

"Other clubs have watched this in the background so we should be very aware of the fact someone else might come into the frame. But there is no doubt this £25m valuation is proving off-putting."

What other transfer business could Wolverhampton Wanderers conduct?

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui is now at the stage where he is ramping up his interest in several stars as he looks to add some quality to his squad at Molineux.

Republic of Ireland international Matt Doherty is a free agent after leaving Atletico Madrid upon the expiration of his contract and is close to making an emotional return to Molineux. He is in the process of having his medical ahead of re-joining his former side, according to The Daily Mail.

Football Insider report that the Old Gold are 'set to complete' the signing of Borussia Monchengladbach central defender Nico Elvedi for a fee in the region of £7.7 million following progress in negotiations.

Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is another name being courted by Wolves as a potential replacement for Jose Sa, who is attracting interest from Nottingham Forest, Mailsport understands.

Leeds United will need all hands on deck to ensure their latest absence from the Premier League is not as long as the last, but some shrewd summer additions could easily prevent that.

Who are Leeds United signing this summer?

Having already welcomed Ethan Ampadu to Elland Road, and continuing to be linked with new goalkeepers to put the final nail in Illan Meslier's coffin, it seems that Daniel Farke has an understandable focus on shoring up his fragile defence.

However, that is not to suggest he will neglect offensive reinforcements, with one report outlining that. As per Spanish reports, the Whites are reportedly seeking to profit from Cardiff City's unearthing of Sory Kaba from FC Midtjylland.

Having spent half of last season on loan in Wales, his goalscoring efforts proved vital in earning the Bluebirds Championship survival.

Now, the Yorkshire outfit could seek to capitalise on that, but face competition from a host of other clubs from within their division. Despite that, they are noted as one of the frontrunners, alongside Watford and his temporary former employers.

The 27-year-old could prove vital in spearheading Farke's promotion push next season, as a tall, pacey and lethal front-man.

It would be hard not to draw immediate physical similarities with a former forward of Leeds', Jermaine Beckford, who too had a hand in their prior rise up the divisions.

How many goals did Beckford score for Leeds?

Having fallen into League One, marking some of the darkest days in the club's recent memory, a youngster signed innocuously from Wealdstone emerged from nowhere to make himself a hero.

Although game time was sparse at first, he was handed a chance following their relegation, to which he rewarded his employers. 20 goals in just their second year in League One marked a solid return, but he would improve that to 27 the year following as they narrowly missed out on a Championship return.

He was not to be denied on the third time of consistently outstanding campaigns, posting 25 league goals with a further seven assists to finally fire them back to within one division of the top flight before leaving a hero.

Achieving such success was aided by his laser precision in front of goal, as well as a 6 foot 2 frame that made his turn of pace so extraordinary. As something of a physical marvel, he provided the key firepower needed to earn promotion.

Who is Sory Kaba?

In Kaba, who similarly has that speed to partner his height (6 foot 3), he could prove to be that same hero needed in their latest hour of need.

After all, the £15k-per-week finisher has already shown himself capable of handling pressure, albeit at the opposite end of the table that Farke will be hoping to challenge.

His manager Sabri Lamouchi even claimed: "This is the challenge for him, to be the best scorer for this team. He can do that. He's scored important goals, he's given us important points and is doing a job. I'm happy for him and happy for the team."

With eight goals in just 17 league appearances, there is precedent to believe that surrounding him with increased quality could see these figures could skyrocket to the level capable of earning that all-important Premier League return.

Manchester United are reportedly in talks to sign Real Madrid defender David Alaba this summer, seeing him as a strong option to come in at the back.

How old is David Alaba?

The Austrian, who is now 31 years of age, has enjoyed a glittering career, enjoying a huge amount of success along the way.

Alaba has won an incredible 10 league titles during his career, as well as three Champions League crowns, with endless silverware coming his way at both Bayern Munich and Madrid. Not only that, but he has been named Austria's Footballer of the Year an eye-catching eight times, showing just how much he has stood out as the best player in his country.

The defender is contracted to Madrid until the summer of 2026 and has continued to be a key man there in recent times, starting 21 La Liga matches last season, mainly in more of a centre-back role, as he has become accustomed to in the latter part of his career.

It could be that Alaba is allowed to leave the Santiago Bernabeu in the current transfer window, however, which is where United come into play, as they continue to eye up important summer signings.

Could Man United sign David Alaba?

The Faithful MUFC relayed an update from Spain, who claimed that Alaba could possibly seal a move to Old Trafford this summer, with Madrid saying "OK" to a move happening and the player himself potentially "accepting the offer" from the Reds.

The parties are believed to be "in talks" over the transfer, while United manager Erik ten Hag is "obsessed and wants to have him under his command."

At 31, there is an argument to say that Alaba isn't quite the force he used to be – only natural, given his age and some of the injuries he has had – but he remains a top-level footballer who could be a fascinating short-term signing by United.

His ability to play at both centre-back and left-back would be great for squad depth, with such versatility an invaluable attribute to have, and he has even turned out in various midfield roles on more than 100 occasions during his career.

The winning mentality that Alaba possesses could be invaluable, too, enhancing United's hopes of trophies moving forward, and the fact that he was hailed by Pep Guardiola during their time together at Bayern, highlighting just how highly he was thought of.

The Austrian is on a huge £370,000-a-week, but you could argue that he may not come in as a guaranteed starter for United, considering Lisandro Martinez is excelling in the left-sided centre-back role and Luke Shaw is the first-choice left-back, but he could push those individuals hard, ensuring they remain at their best level, bolstering the club's high-quality defensive options even further.

There may be some who have their concerns, due to Alaba not being a young signing with a high long-term ceiling, but additions of this ilk can be so priceless, as Casemiro has shown, having joined United at the age of 30, and by the looks of things, a move is one to keep an eye on.
