    Everton remain in pole position for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.

    The Toffees have had two approaches rejected by Boro, who value the 23-year-old at around £20m.

    Crystal Palace are also interested but Hackney currently favours a move to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

    Nothing has developed since Everton's second approach while the club are also considering other midfield options.

    Hackney has a year left on his contract at the Riverside after rejecting a £20m move to Ipswich last summer.

    The England Under-21 international, part of the squad which won Euro 2025 last summer, was happy to stay at Boro and did not want to move to another Championship side.

    Nottingham Forest also had an approach turned down late in the winter window in February.

    Academy graduate Hackney has made 154 appearances for Boro, scoring 16 goals.

    The winger, 22, has signed a one-year contract, with the club having the option to extend it to a second year.

    McKeown is the fourth player signed by Pools already under their new boss Lee Clark.

    Hartlepool United have signed winger Brooklyn Ilunga on a two-year deal after his contract ended at Bromley.

    The 22-year-old joins the Teesside club having made more than 100 senior appearances.

    Having come out of the MK Dons academy, Ilunga went on to join Bromley in January 2025 and helped them win the League Two title last term.

    "There is a real determination throughout the football club to build a strong, competitive group capable of challenging this season and I wanted to be part of that," he said.

    Hartlepool United have signed forward Jack Nolan on a two-year deal following the expiry of his contract with Morecambe.

    The 25-year-old scored 19 goals for Morecambe despite their relegation from the National League and was their leading goalscorer.

    He joins Pools on a contract until the end of the 2027-28 season.

    "Pools is a massive football club with a proud history, passionate supporters and clear ambition for the future," he said.
