Transfer News LIVE
The January transfer window is looming, and already, Premier League clubs are getting deals done. Manchester United and Arsenal are leading the way, with Liverpool and Chelsea also set to be busy. Manchester City are weighing up their options as they decide how best to strengthen their squad.
Marcus Rashford's Manchester United Future
Marcus Rashford has been the center of transfer speculation after revealing that he is open to leaving Manchester United. Despite United boss Ruben Amorim expressing his desire to keep the forward, the club may facilitate his departure in January or beyond. A loan deal has been suggested, but financing a permanent move may prove challenging. With the club's new manager aiming to bring in his own players, Rashford’s future is uncertain.
Liverpool has some major contract decisions to make with three of their biggest names in Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold entering the final six months of their deals. Real Madrid reportedly remain keen on the latter and also like Van Dijk. These could be transformative months ahead at Anfield.
Chelsea's Transfer Activity
While Chelsea may put on a serious fight for the Premier League title, attentions at Stamford Bridge may very well shift to those heading out of the exit door. Ben Chilwell and Carney Chukwuemeka are mentioned as wanting to leave in search of first-team minutes. Chelsea, meanwhile, have been credited with an interest in another goalkeeper, although continue to scan the market.
Arsenal are actively seeking a new forward, with reports that they are in talks with Sporting CP over Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish striker has been in impressive form, netting 27 goals in 25 appearances across all competitions. According to reports, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen on bringing him to the Emirates, with Sporting setting an asking price of around €65 million (£54 million).
Other Transfer News
Jhon Duran, of Aston Villa, keeps making a statement in the Premier League, drawing interest from the top. Duran, who scored against Manchester City recently, has now bagged 12 goals in 25 appearances this season. If he keeps up his form, expect further Premier League interest.
Meanwhile, in Spain, there are reports that Dani Olmo could leave Barcelona as a free agent due to an active clause in his contract because of the financial state of the club. The deal is watched closely by Arsenal and Manchester City.
Arsenal's Deal for Alberto Moleiro
In exciting news for Arsenal fans, the club has reportedly agreed on a deal to sign Las Palmas star Alberto Moleiro. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Gunners have reached an agreement in principle to pay Moleiro's €60 million release clause next summer. Mikel Arteta sees the 20-year-old as a similar player to Martin Ødegaard, and his four goals in 17 games this season have certainly impressed.
