With the transfer window closing in, a number of high-profile football transfer rumours continue to go hot as clubs across Europe fight for the capture of key players. Herein, the latest gossip and news from the world of football transfers.
Rasmus Hojlund Could Be Set for Manchester United Exit
Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund is being targeted by both Napoli and Juventus, according to reports. The Danish international has not caught the eye of manager Ruben Amorim at all, and it seems that both Italian clubs really want him, which will probably send him back to Serie A. Hojlund's time at Old Trafford is now in question as the transfer window comes to a close. (TalkSPORT)
