Khan: Two stand-out candidates to replace Silva
Fulham vice-chair and director of football operations Tony Khan says there are currently two stand-out candidates to replace Marco Silva who have had several meetings with the board.
Your Site News understands Fulham have been advancing in talks with Alvaro Arbeloa, who spent the second half of last season in charge of Real Madrid.

Were open to more conversations and talking to more people and were working on that process right now.

Hearts' Nieuwenhof makes loan move
Hearts midfielder Calem Nieuwenhof has returned to Australia to join Perth Glory on loan for the upcoming season.
The 25-year-old joined the Jambos from Western Sydney Wanderers on a four-year deal in 2023.
After a promising first season, the Australian has been badly hindered by injuries over the past two years and has not played since last July.
"Calem Nieuwenhof has completed a loan move to Perth Glory," said Hearts. "He'll spend the 2026/27 campaign at the A-League side. Wishing you all the best down under, Calem."
Stewart joins West Brom as Falkirk receive club-record fee
West Brom have signed Barney Stewart from Falkirk, with the Scottish side receiving a club-record fee with 'the potential for significant add-ons'.
He has signed a four-year deal at The Hawthorns and continues a remarkable rise.
Stewart was playing university football for Heriot-Watt in 2024 before joining Falkirk. He returned to the university on loan until January 2025, as well as a temporary spell at Dumfermline.
He only made his Falkirk debut in January 2026, going on to finish as the club's top scorer (12) in all competitions as they finished sixth in the Scottish Premiership after a 15-year absence.
Stewart told WBA TV: I had a great chat with the manager James Morrison. He won loads of caps for Scotland and hes got loads of contacts up there, so he knows lots about me.
Im so excited by the challenge of playing in the Championship. I love the frequency of the games and its one of the best leagues in the world to watch. To be a part of the division will be incredible.
I saw a stat the other day which said that only one of my goals was scored when I had a touch before the finish, which suggests theres plenty of first-time finishes. I come to life around the box and thats my speciality.
Im very confident that I can score the goals here at the Albion, just like I did last year for Dunfermline and Falkirk. Im a confident person and Ill always back myself. Id absolutely love to find the same form as last year, starting in pre-season.
Aston Villa sign Scotland teenager McAulay

Real Madrid's shift in transfer strategy under Jose
Jose Mourinho has made a fast start in the transfer window at Real Madrid despite the World Cup being under way with the free transfer of Bernardo Silva following hot on the heels of Marc Cucurella's 51.8m signing from Chelsea.
Real Madrid's newly re-elected president Florentino Perez has also lined up the 17m signing of right-back Denzel Dumfries from Inter and the free transfer of centre-back Ibrahima Konate who is out of contract at Liverpool at the end of the month.
The signings of Silva, 31, Cucurella, 27, Dumfries, 30, and Konate, 27, show there has been a clear change of transfer strategy at Real Madrid. The focus has shifted from young players with promise to experienced players who are ready to be thrown straight in.
Cucurella, for instance, is the first signing over 25 to have arrived at Real Madrid for a transfer fee of more than 2m since the summer of 2019, when Eden Hazard was signed from Chelsea in a deal worth well in excess of 100m.
Real Madrid have brought in experienced players in the intervening period but only on free transfers. Silva and Konate are just the latest following on from Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Kylian Mbappe and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Last summer the average age of Real Madrid's signings - Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras, Franco Mastantuono and Trent Alexander-Arnold - was just over 21 years old compared to nearly 29 years old in this window so far.
Mourinho has often relied more on tried-and-tested players during his career, but because of the pressure everyone at Real Madrid is under after failing to win LaLiga or the Champions League for the past two seasons, experience is required more than ever.
Real Madrid's business is expected to continue beyond the four signings already secured. Perez made big promises during his re-election campaign about making a mega-signing this summer, and none of the players they have signed match that description.

Curle spent 22 years as a player and has managed the likes of Notts County, Carlisle and Northampton. He was most recently at Hartlepool, leaving in February 2023.
Walsall land Dallas signing

Dallas will officially join the club on July 1.
