Isidor transfer saga dominates; Etienne Jr. sparks Toronto win; Nazon club-less

Wilson Isidor leads today's brief with a genuine transfer story out of Sunderland. Multiple outlets — Sky Sports (via EPL Index/Yahoo Sports) and West Ham Zone — report that West Ham are monitoring the Haitian forward, with Isidor reportedly willing to double his wages to facilitate a move. Sunderland, however, are standing firm and have made their position clear: the club does not wish to sell. The Championship side's resistance is the key blocker on a deal that has gathered significant English football press attention heading into the final days of the summer window.

Elsewhere, Derrick Etienne Jr. turned in a match-winning performance for Toronto FC against Inter Miami. FOX Sports and Yahoo Sports both report Toronto's 2-1 MLS victory, with Etienne Jr. credited alongside Josh Sargent as a spark for the win — a timely contribution as Toronto push for playoff positioning.

On a sobering note, Duckens Nazon is now without a club. Transfermarkt records that the 32-year-old striker, Haiti's all-time leading scorer (79 caps, 44 goals), has been without a club since departing Esteghlal FC on 20 July 2026. No new signing has been announced.
