Perth Glory make Philip Elayo Azango the dearest name in their history

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Sunderland keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Perth Glory rebuffed over Lucas Mauragis

$2.3M for Philip Elayo Azango, and Perth Glory supporters approve
Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Philip Elayo Azango from Spartak Trnava for $2.3M, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

In brief
- Squad Brandon O'Neill falls out with a teammate over standards
- Squad Philip Elayo Azango is a square peg at Perth Glory
- Market Charbel Shamoon's agent talks up a move
