Newcastle United continue to dominate the transfer news cycle and have now been linked with a move for a former Real Madrid goalkeeper and have also reportedly had a loan bid for a Manchester United midfielder rejected by the player.
Leeds United are understood to be the only interested club who can afford to stump up the £20.8 million asking price for a Serie A midfielder while Burnley could miss out on a former Liverpool striker with the player’s current club confident of keeping him until at least the end of the current season.
Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur have joined Southampton, Watford and Norwich City to sign a highly rated teenage star while Arsenal are being linked with a move for a key Leicester City player with the foxes apparently “preparing” for the midfielder’s departure.
Chelsea have not opened talks with PSG but are thought to be interested in a bid to land a French international defender while a Serie A side are the latest club being linked with Manchester United’s Anthony Martial.
Finally, Aston Villa are reportedly closing in on the January signing of a current Sheffield United player who is on loan from Serie A side AS Roma.
