Newcastle United will “definitely be keeping an eye on” Leicester City midfielder James Maddison, even if the Foxes are unlikely to sanction a move to Tyneside in January, according to transfer insider Dean Jones. He said: “They’ll definitely be keeping an eye on it, but Leicester’s situation will determine whether he becomes available. It’s hard to imagine that they’re going to let anyone leave halfway through a season when they’re fighting for their Premier League status. They’ve already had players ripped out and they’re struggling to bounce back from that.” (GIVEMESPORT)

Leeds United will “continue” to pursue a deal for PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo in January. He said: “Leeds thought there was a real chance that they might get this deal done before the deadline with Victor Orta travelling to Holland to try and get it done, so it was a blow not to get him in the end. I think Leeds will continue to look at Gakpo ahead of the January transfer window, as will a number of European clubs.” (GIVEMESPORT)

Wolves are “dreaming” of signing Benfica’s new Argentinian star Enzo Fernandez. Wanderers previously tried and failed to sign the midfielder while he was on the books at River Plater. (The Sun)
