Fulham identify Pereira replacement? Latest transfer news and rumours today!
If Fulham are to lose Andreas Pereira either this month or in the summer transfer window amid links with Marseille, the Cottagers could take a quick look across the English capital for a natural replacement for the Brazilian.
After only making sporadic starts in the first half of the campaign, Hughes has cemented his spot in the Eagles' first XI and has set up three goals in 17 Premier League games this season.
All of Fulham, West Ham United and Brentford reportedly want to prise the Englishman away from Selhurst Park, where his contract expires at the end of the current campaign.
Relationship breakdown! Amorim, Zirkzee 'fall out' as Man United forward 'nears Serie A return'
Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee has reportedly fallen out with Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim, with the Dutchman moving closer to the exit door at Old Trafford.
The Netherlands international arrived at Old Trafford last summer off the back of scoring 14 goals and registering nine assists in 58 appearances for Bologna in all competitions.
However, the 23-year-old has found it difficult to make his mark this term, managing only four goals and two assists in 27 appearances.
The low-point of his Red Devils career came on Monday night when he was replaced in the first half of the Premier League game against Newcastle United, and his substitution was widely cheered by a number of Man United fans.
Los Blancos are believed to have had an offer for Alexander-Arnold rejected this month, with the Reds making it clear that the right-back will not be allowed to leave Anfield under any circumstances during the winter market.
However, Liverpool are in a very difficult position when it comes to the England international's future, as his contract is due to expire this summer, and Real Madrid are the overwhelming favourites to sign him.
Alexander-Arnold, according to reports in Spain, is leaning towards a switch to Real Madrid, where he would command a substantial signing-on fee and a huge salary over the next few years.
Latest 'twist' in Rashford saga as Man United star 'rejects three huge offers'
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has reportedly rejected three offers worth in the region of £35m a year to leave Old Trafford.
The 27-year-old's future is currently the subject of much speculation, as he has been left out of his current side's matchday squad for four of their last five matches, with head coach Ruben Amorim unhappy with the performance level of the attacker in training.
After a four-game absence, Rashford was recalled to the squad for Monday's Premier League clash against Newcastle United, but the Englishman was an unused substitute despite the fact that the Red Devils were in need of a goal.
Rashford, after being left out of the squad for the Manchester derby last month, said that he was looking for "a new challenge", with the Red Devils academy product hinting at a January move away from Old Trafford.
Since returning from a two-year loan spell at Sheffield United, McAtee has been restricted to just nine senior appearances at Man City across all competitions, starting only three times.
The 22-year-old has allegedly grown frustrated with his lack of first-team opportunities and many Citizens supporters have been surprised to see the youngster remain on the fringes of Guardiola's squad at a time when the Catalan has been working with an injury-hit team down to its bare bones.
Son 'expected' to stay at Tottenham, but should Levy sanction a new contract?
Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min should continue his career in North London despite entering the last six months of his contract, ex-Spurs goalkeeper Kasey Keller has told Sports Mole.
The 32-year-old is now free to talk to foreign clubs and negotiate a pre-contract agreement, and he will be leaving Spurs on a free transfer at the end of the season if no extension is agreed.
However, former Tottenham number one Keller has no doubts that Son should remain at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, highlighting his on-field feats and also his standing with the club's fanbase.
A message to Mikel: Arsenal legend sends striker demand for January window
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta needs a new number nine in North London and should look to the loan market during the January transfer window, Gunners legend Ray Parlour believes.
Arteta's side currently have Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus battling for starts in the number nine slot; the latter has recently revived his stalling Arsenal career with six goals in his last four appearances.
While Havertz has done "really well" in attack for Arsenal, Parlour still believes that his former side could do with strengthening their offensive options, telling Sports Mole: "I do believe Arsenal need reinforcements in the striker position.
"I expected at least double that": De Jong disappointed with Barcelona career
Frenkie de Jong has revealed that he expected to win "at least double" the amount of silverware that he has lifted at Barcelona.
The 27-year-old has been with the Catalan giants since 2019, making a total of 226 appearances in all competitions.
During that period, the Netherlands international has been restricted to one La Liga title, one Copa del Rey and one Supercopa de Espana.
Speaking in an extensive interview with Voetbal International, De Jong has acknowledged that he anticapted enjoying far more success during his time in Spain.
Throughout the campaign, the contract of the right-back has been a hot topic of debate courtesy of his existing terms expiring at the end of the season.
The player himself has previously suggested that any negotiations will take place out of the public eye, as they have done in the past.
In recent days, though, it has been heavily reported that Real Madrid have failed with an approach for the England international, their hope being that Liverpool would take the option of generating a cut-price fee through the sale.
Amorim 'green lights' double Man United exit in January
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has reportedly given club officials the green light to facilitate the exit of two players in January.
The Portuguese is currently struggling to kick-start United's campaign with the Red Devils still sitting in 14th position in the Premier League table.
While there is an obvious need for a continued rebuild at Old Trafford, Amorim recently indicated that there is no money available for additions throughout this month.
Despite that insistence, United will naturally be open to parting ways with some of their big-earners and players who are out of form.
It is fair to say that Manchester City have been no strangers to splashing to cash on star signings since Sheikh Mansour's takeover in 2008 and they have established themselves as one of the biggest spending clubs in Europe.
As well as signing high-profile players, the Citizens have taken full advantage of their global scouting network to unearth a number of hidden gems that have since been integrated into the first team and have developed into important players, helping the club win multiple titles and remain competitive across all fronts.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the most expensive signings in Manchester City's history.
Man City expiring contracts: Who is free to leave next summer and in 2026?
After winning a record fourth successive Premier League title in 2023-24, Manchester City now find themselves fighting for a top-four finish this term having fallen far behind Liverpool in the 2024-25 standings.
Pep Guardiola works with one of the most star-studded squads in world football - when everyone is fit - with some players tied down to long-term contracts and others facing uncertain futures at the club.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Man City players whose contracts either expire at the end of next summer, or in 2026.
Ronaldo reunion? Man City veteran on radar of three Saudi giants
Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has reportedly attracted interest from three clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
The 34-year-old is seemingly approaching the end of his days at the top level of professional football following a success-laden spell with the Citizens.
Alongside the rest of his teammates, Walker has struggled during the 2024-25 term and has not always been a definite starter for the English champions.
Arne's flop: Liverpool 'to hold crunch talks' with attacker's agent amid exit talk
Liverpool are prepared to meet with the agent of Federico Chiesa to discuss the attacker's future at Anfield.
The Reds forward is said to be unhappy and homesick on Merseyside, just months after securing a bargain switch to England from Juventus in the summer.
Chiesa has failed to impress on the pitch at Liverpool, despite being a key part of the Italy side who beat Gareth Southgate's Three Lions to the Euro 2020 crown.
The Italian has played just four matches across all competitions for Arne Slot's side, totalling just 18 minutes of Premier League action to date.
The 25-year-old has been of interest to the Gunners for many months, with the North Londoners plotting a New Year switch for the player at the beginning of the term.
Mbeumo showcased his serious talents to Mikel Arteta on New Year's Day, when the Cameroonian netted the opening goal of the Premier League contest between the two sides.
Transfer news and rumours today: Pereira to Marseille, McAtee to Celtic
Fulham are reportedly concerned about the future of midfielder Andreas Pereira this month.
The 29-year-old has been a star performer for the Cottagers over the past few seasons and has provided three goal contributions in the Premier League this term.
Pereira was previously on the books of Manchester United, before securing a permanent switch to Marco Silva's side on their return to the top flight during the summer of 2022.
Since making the switch across Premier League battlelines in 2022, Pereira has featured on 99 occasions for Fulham, making the net ripple 10 times.
Onana, 28, has made a series of high-profile errors since joining the Red Devils in the summer of 2023, and there have been suggestions that the Cameroonian is currently 'unsettled in Manchester'.
Altay Bayindir, who is the number two, has also not convinced, with the Turkey international conceding four in his last appearance against Tottenham Hotspur, and there is speculation surrounding his future.
Tom Heaton is the number three, but the Englishman is out of contract in June, meaning that the goalkeeping department at Old Trafford may have to be revamped this summer.
Gyokeres has scored 27 times in 27 matches for Sporting this term, and he is believed to be Man United's first-choice attacking target.
Due to the team's struggles, Amorim is said to be pushing for the Red Devils to move for the forward in January, but a deal will be incredibly difficult due to financial restrictions.
There could potentially be a way for Man United to complete what would be one of the biggest January deals of all time, though, and with that in mind, Sports Mole looks at five players who could leave Old Trafford in the winter market.
Arsenal 'make decision' on permanent move for unsettled Rashford
Arsenal are reportedly interested in bringing Marcus Rashford to the Emirates Stadium but would not be willing to pay more than £25m for the Manchester United forward.
The England international has scored seven goals and contributed three assists in 24 appearances for the Red Devils during the 2024-25 campaign, but he has not featured for his club since December 12.
Rashford has been left out of the matchday squad for four of the team's last five matches, while he was an unused substitute against Newcastle United in the Premier League on Monday night.
The 27-year-old was initially dropped for the Manchester derby in the middle of last month due to some underwhelming performances in training, while his general behaviour around the Carrington training complex is also said to have contributed to head coach Ruben Amorim's decision to overlook him.
Garnacho is Man United's leading goalscorer this season, with the 20-year-old scoring eight goals and registering four assists in 28 appearances in all competitions, while 19-year-old Mainoo has made 16 outings during the 2024-25 campaign.
The former's contract is due to run until June 2028, while the latter has a deal until June 2027, with the option of a further 12 months, but the pair are among the lowest earners at Old Trafford.
According to the Daily Mail, there have been contract discussions with both players, but talks are currently at a standstill, with the 20-time English champions 'struggling to reach agreements' with the pair.
The Sweden international has been in exceptional form for Sporting during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 27 goals and registering six assists in 27 appearances in all competitions.
Gyokeres is believed to be on the radar of a number of major European clubs, including Manchester City, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, but Amorim's close relationship with the striker, due to their time together in Lisbon, is believed to have placed Man United at the head of the queue for his signature.
Man United have well-documented financial problems due to the money that was spent over the summer, meaning that there will have to be exits for the club to be active during the January market.
