Westerlo join the list of clubs interested in signing Coventry City striker

After losing Nacho Ferri to Feyenoord, Westerlo are in the market for a new striker. According to HNB, the side are one of a number of clubs eyeing up a move for Coventry City striker Norman Bassette. Standard Liege were another Belgian Pro League side interested in signing the Coventry City forward, who is likely to be available for a loan move after the side won promotion to the Premier League. Westerlo are interested in a loan deal with Coventry City for Bassette that would include a purchase option. Reports suggest that the sides are getting closer on a deal.

Bassette is no stranger to the Belgian league, having spent time at KV Mechelen three seasons ago. In 2024 he also won a cap for the Belgian national team. However, he has struggled to make much of an impact at Coventry City. After joining in 2024 from French side Caen, he scored just two goals in 29 games. During the 2025/2026 season Coventry City were happy to loan Bassette out, first back to France with Reims. However, after two goals in 13 games he returned to England before being loaned out again, this time to German side Kaiserslautern. Again, he managed two goals, this time in 16 games. Clearly, the numbers are not enough to convince Coventry City that Bassette is ready for the Premier League. He is still only 21, so a move to Westerlo could see him kick on in terms of goals.

Mets One-For-One Trade Idea Would Send Two Time All-Star To Padres

· Yahoo Sports

New York Mets pitcher Freddy Peralta

One of the most interesting teams at this year's trade deadline is expected to be the San Diego Padres.

The Padres have underachieved this season, but they find themselves just 2 1/2 games out of a wild card spot. They could be buyers, but also sell off some pieces to acquire young talent for the future. If they buy, it will likely be rental players who could help get them into October. New York Mets' Freddy Peralta would make sense for them.

Peralta has not been great for the Mets, but a change of scenery before free agency could do him some good. Michael King is currently the only Padres starter who has been playing well, and even in a down year, Peralta has a better ERA than Walker Buehler, Griffin Canning and Germán Márquez. The Athletic's Jim Bowden proposed this one-for-one trade that would send Peralta to the Padres.

Mayfield is the Padres' No. 4 prospect, so the Mets would be getting a young, controllable pitcher. Peralta has certainly lost himself some money with his performance this year, but he should have no trouble getting paid in free agency. However, if the Mets know that they won't re-sign him, shipping him off would make plenty of sense.

For the Padres, Peralta is an arm who could help them pass the teams ahead of them in the wild card race. He is a two-time All-Star and has a 3.69 ERA. The Padres are not going to win the division, but fringe upgrades could help them get into the dance, and after that anything can happen.
