Bart Verbruggen was never quite able to convince Roberto De Zerbi that he should be Brighton’s undisputed No.1. The former Seagulls boss was never completely sold on the Dutchman after his £16million arrival from Anderlecht last summer, rotating him with Jason Steele throughout the Premier League season. But the Netherlands stopper has had no such problems with Dutch chief Ronald Koeman and his goalkeeper coach Frans Hoek, who has likened him to Edwin van der Sar, and the Oranje are reaping the rewards.

According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Warriors are planning to let Looney’s $8 million contract be fully guaranteed next week. At the moment, only $3 million is guaranteed. With that, Looney is expected to remain with the team for the time being. Slater notes that the player is one of Steve Kerr’s favorites and that is seen as a “locker room leader.” Despite the Warriors’ plans to keep Looney, the center’s salary might still be used to “complete a trade,” according to Slater.
