Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Endrick from Real Madrid.

The 19-year-old has struggled for regular game time at the La Liga club, and he has been linked with a loan move away from Los Blancos. Manchester United are keeping tabs on Endrick as well.

Conditions laid down for Endrick transfer

According to a report from TEAMtalk, the Spanish outfit will only allow the player to leave on loan if they receive a loan fee for him. They would also demand his wages to be paid in full. In addition to that, they will only let him join Spurs if there is a clear plan in place to get the best out of him.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can satisfy all three conditions. They could use more cutting-edge in the final third, and the 19-year-old would be a useful acquisition for them. Signing him on loan until the end of the season would represent a superb bit of business.

The Brazilian will add goals and creativity to the Tottenham attack and help them improve without a significant investment. Furthermore, the player needs more opportunities, and Tottenham will be able to provide him with that platform. The transfer could be ideal for all parties.

Tottenham are competing in the UEFA Champions League, and they will look to do well across multiple competitions. They need a deeper squad with more quality. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.

They have done well to improve their squad during the summer transfer window, but there are weaknesses in the side that they will need to plug. A versatile attacker like Endrick could be the ideal addition.

Everton and West Ham United are interested in the player as well. It remains to be seen where he ends up.

Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

The Egyptian International is reported on the radar of Saudi Arabian clubs, and they are prepared to spend a substantial amount of money on him. According to a report from TBR football, Saudi Arabian clubs would be willing to offer him a deal of around £150 million a year.

According to journalist Graeme Bailey, the Liverpool attacker will end up in Saudi Arabia eventually, and clubs from the Saudi Pro League are now patiently waiting for him to decide on his future.

Saudi clubs keen on Mohamed Salah

Bailey told TBR Football: “Mo Salah and Pro League links won’t go away, but he doesn’t want them to; he will end up in Saudi Arabia one day.

“I can confirm that the Saudis’ offer to Salah is an open one, the deal is ready for him as and when he wants it.

“They are not talking to him now, and haven’t talked to him or Liverpool about a deal in January; they don’t really need to, they are ready when he is.”

Salah to move on?

It will be interesting to see if the Egyptian decides to move on at the end of the season. He has been an exceptional performer for Liverpool since joining the club. He has helped them win multiple major trophies, but Salah is showing signs of decline this season. This could be the right opportunity for Liverpool to cash in on the player. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

There is no doubt that he is a quality player, and signing him would be a major coup for the Saudi Arabian clubs. It would attract greater commercial appeal to the Saudi Pro League.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian might feel that this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge. He has proven himself in the Premier League over the years, and moving to the Saudi Pro League at this stage of his career could be ideal. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool are prepared to sanction his departure. The Saudi Arabian clubs will need to convince the player to join them as well.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Everton attacker Iliman Ndiaye. 

The 25-year-old has impressed in the Premier League, and he has attracted the attention of the London clubs. According to a report via Hard Tackle, the player could cost around €50-€55 million. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs are willing to pay up.

Ndiaye could fancy a big move

Ndiaye is well settled in the Premier League. He could make an instant impact at Arsenal or Tottenham. The opportunity to join some of the biggest clubs in the country will be quite exciting for him.

Arsenal are competing for the league title and the UEFA Champions League. They could help the African fulfil his ambitions and win major trophies.

Similarly, Tottenham have recently won a European trophy as well. They will be an attractive destination for the player. Everton will not want to lose a player of his quality easily, and they have set a significant price for him.

It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.

Where will Iliman Ndiaye end up?

Ndiaye has three goals to his name in the Premier League this season. His numbers will only improve when he’s playing in a better team alongside quality players. He is entering the peak years of his career, and joining a big club like Arsenal or Tottenham could be ideal for him.

Although he is naturally a right-sided winger, he is capable of operating anywhere across the front three. His versatility will be a huge bonus for the two London clubs.

Mikel Arteta and Thomas Frank could bring out the best in the player. It is fair to assume that the African will be attracted to the idea of joining the two London clubs. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs are willing to pay the asking price.

Chelsea are interested in signing the Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki in the coming month.

According to a report via SportWitness, multiple clubs are keeping tabs on the 23-year-old Japanese international and Chelsea are hoping to get the deal done.

Chelsea could use Zion Suzuki

Robert Sanchez has not been able to live up to the expectations at the London club, and Chelsea are looking for alternatives. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the Parma goalkeeper in the coming weeks.

The Italian outfit signed the Japanese goalkeeper for a fee of around €10 million, and they are likely to demand a premium for him. Chelsea have the finances to get the deal across the line, and they would do well to secure his signature.

Suzuki is a talented young goalkeeper with a bright future. He will only improve with coaching and experience. Regular football in the Premier League could bring out the best in him. Chelsea are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be quite exciting for the goalkeeper.

Former Sint-Truiden boss Thorsten Fink once told Walfoot: “He is considered one of the greatest talents in the world in his position and we have to polish him.”

Suzuki is a player in demand

Italian clubs like AC Milan and Inter Milan are keeping tabs on his situation as well. It remains to be seen whether the goalkeeper is prepared to move to the Premier League and leave Italian football.

It will be difficult for Chelsea to convince Parma to sell the player in the middle of the season. They will struggle to replace him in January. He is one of their best players, and losing him in January would be a blow for them.

It is fair to assume that any move might have to wait until the summer transfer window.

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea can negotiate a reasonable deal for the Japanese international. Suzuki was linked with Manchester United as well.

11 goals in 14 games: Tottenham want to sign “super player” who could cost £70m

Tottenham Hotspur want to sign the Spanish striker Samu Aghehowa from Portuguese club FC Porto.

The 21-year-old is a target for the North London club ahead of the January window. According to a report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham are already planning for the January window, and the 21-year-old striker is on their radar.

He could cost around £70 million, and it will be interesting to see if Spurs are willing to pay up. Aghehowa has a €100 million release clause in his contract.

Aghehowa would transform Spurs

The striker has scored 36 goals since joining the Portuguese club, and he is in red-hot form. He has found the back of the net 11 times in 14 matches this season. There is no doubt that he has the quality to do well in the Premier League, and he could make a big difference for Tottenham in the final third.

Richarlison and Dominic Solanke have been inconsistent since joining the club. Tottenham could use more depth in that area of the pitch, and the 21-year-old could transform them in the attack. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net as well. His physicality and aerial prowess could add a new dimension to the Tottenham attack.

Aghehowa has been hailed as a “super player”, and Spurs would do well to sign him. They are looking to build a formidable squad for the future, and he could develop into an asset for them.

The reported price is quite significant, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay up. The player is a promising young talent with a bright future, and he might end up justifying the investment in future.

Tottenham will look to win trophies regularly, and they need top-quality players at their disposal. The Spaniard would be an exceptional acquisition for them.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has claimed that Max Dowman has a long-term future at the club, and the player and his family are happy with his progress so far.

Dowman is regarded as one of the finest young attacking talents in the Premier League, and he has been linked with an exit in recent months.

However, Arsenal have no plans to let him leave anytime soon. He has all the tools to develop an important player for the club with the right guidance. Even though he has not had ample opportunities so far, he is still quite young, and he will adapt to the Premier League eventually.

Dowman has a bright future ahead of himself and has revealed that the player is improving every day. The Arsenal manager also added that Dowman has been excellent in training for the Gunners.

Arteta on Max Dowman

Arteta said during the pre-match presser ahead of the Brighton clash: “We look at his passport every day. We watch in training, and you have to play him; otherwise, I’m blind. He’s coped really well. It’s what we want (Dowman’s long-term future at the club) and what he wants. The feeling I have is that he loves it here. Huge Arsenal supporter and his family are happy.”

It will be interesting to see if he can convince the manager to give him more opportunities in the coming months. Arsenal could certainly use more cutting-edge in the final third, and Dowman has shown that he can add pace, flair, and unpredictability going forward.

He will look to establish himself as an important first-team player in the coming seasons.

Arsenal fans will be delighted to hear that the club is looking to keep one of their best young talents at the club for as long as possible. They will hope that he can fulfil his potential with the Londoners.

Liverpool are reportedly interested in improving their attacking unit with the signing of Yankuba Minteh from Brighton.

The 21-year-old has done quite well since joining the Seagulls, and he is impressing in the Premier League with his technical ability and flair. He has been described as “the next big thing”.

Liverpool could use Yankuba Minteh

Liverpool could use more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and Minteh would be an exceptional acquisition. They have missed someone who can take on defenders and create opportunities out of nothing. The departure of Luis Diaz has left Liverpool more predictable going forward.

They need a quality dribbler, and Minteh could be tailor-made for them. The opportunity to join Liverpool will be quite exciting for him as well. It would be a major step up in his career. Minteh has one goal and two assists in the league this season.

Liverpool ready to pay up for Minteh

According to a report from FootAfrica, Liverpool are prepared to pay over £100 million in order to get the deal done. They have recently spent a similar amount of money on Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz.

It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to break the bank once again. There is no doubt that the Gambian is an exceptional young talent. He has the quality to develop into a top-class  Premier League attacker. Liverpool could nurture him into a future star. Minteh has played under Arne Slot at Feyenoord, and both parties could be keen on a reunion.

Despite signing quality players this summer, Liverpool have had a disappointing start to the season. They need to bounce back strongly, and the 21-year-old could certainly help them improve in future.

It seems unlikely that Brighton will sanction his departure anytime soon. They will want to keep him at the club for now. Liverpool might have to wait until the summer transfer window in order to get the deal done. Manchester United and Arsenal are keen on Minteh as well.

West Ham United midfielder Guido Rodriguez has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

He is all set to leave the club during the January transfer window. According to a report from Mexican outlet TV Azteca, the player could be heading to Club America in January.

He has played for the club in the past, and they were keen on securing his signature earlier this year as well.

Guido Rodriguez needs a fresh start

Rodriguez joined West Ham United last summer, and he has not been a regular starter for them this season. The Argentina international needs to move on in search of regular playing time, and returning to his former club could be ideal.

However, he is earning €4.5 million per season at the London club, and Club America will not be able to afford that. Rodriguez will have to accept a major pay cut to secure a return to the Mexican club. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Rodriguez should move on

He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and leaving the London club would be ideal for him. Sitting on the bench at West Ham is unlikely to benefit him.

It is clear that Nuno Espirito Santo is not too keen on him. He is unlikely to get more opportunities until the end of the season. It would be ideal for him to seek an exit in January.

West Ham are unlikely to stand in his way either. He is not a player for them, and they will look to get his wages off their books.

It will be interesting to see if Club America come forward with an offer to get the deal done. He will be a free agent in the summer, but West Ham have an option to extend his deal for another year.

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

He was linked with an exit during the summer transfer window, but the Eagles managed to hold on. Mateta is the best striker at the club, and they will not want to lose him easily. However, he is nearing the end of his contract, and Crystal Palace will be under pressure to cash in on him if he refuses to sign an extension with them.

He will be a free agent in the summer of 2027. It will be interesting to see if the French International is willing to commit his long-term future to the club.

According to former Premier League scout Mick Brown, Crystal Palace could look to sell the player at the end of this season if he refuses to sign a new deal with them. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

Jean-Philippe Mateta set for exit?

“There is a possibility Mateta could leave in the summer,” Mick Brown told Football Insider.

“If it starts becoming clear that he’s not going to sign, they want to maximise the fee they’re going to get.

“So in the summer, I’m sure if he hasn’t signed a contract, Palace will be tempted by offers for him.

“Given his importance to the team, they could well be huge offers, and there are a number of clubs who need a striker and will be willing to pay big money to get one.

“Obviously, Palace don’t want to lose him, but they could end up in a situation where they have to.”

Palace must keep Mateta

Crystal Palace have shown improvement in recent months, and they have won the FA Cup and the Community Shield recently. They will look to build on it and establish a team that is capable of securing European football fairly regularly.

They need to keep their best players for that to happen. They should do everything in their power to convince Mateta to sign an extension with them.

Palace are set to lose Marc Guéhi as well. He will be a free agent at the end of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, and Fabio Paratici could be leading the pursuit.

The 25-year-old Serbian has been linked with the move away from the Italian club, and they are prepared to sell him in January. According to TBR Football, he will be available for a fee of £20 million. Tottenham have the resources to pay up, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. 

Tottenham have an advantage in Dusan Vlahovic race

Other clubs are interested in signing the Serbian international attacker as well, but they are hoping to sign him on loan. On the other hand, Tottenham are prepared to offer a permanent deal in January. That has given them an advantage in the transfer race. Juventus are hoping to get rid of the player permanently. 

Spurs could use more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the Serbian would be the ideal acquisition. He has proven himself in Italy over the years, and he has the physicality for English football as well. He could compete with Dominic Solanke for the starting spot. The England International has not been able to find the back of the net regularly, and more competition for places would be ideal. 

Vlahovic could be a useful addition

If Tottenham manage to get the best out of the 25-year-old striker, he could be an asset for them. He has the technical attributes for English football, and he could add a new dimension to the Tottenham attack. His ability to hold up the play and bring others into the game could prove to be invaluable. Vlahovic has six goals to his name this season.

It will be interesting to see if Spurs follow up on their interest with an official proposal. The reported asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his quality, and he could easily justify the investment in future.

Chelsea and Liverpool continue to be linked with defenders, and the latest name on their radar is Dayot Upamecano. 

The 27-year-old French international has performed well for Bayern Munich, and both clubs are interested in securing Upamecano’s signature. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer in the coming months. 

Graeme Bailey claimed on TBR: “In England we are thinking and talking about Marc Guehi, but in Europe the name many are talking about is French star Dayot Upamecano – who has really been looking the part at Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany.

“Speaking to sources at a couple of Premier League clubs, they actually believe Upamecano is more likely to stay than leave, but I can tell you Bayern are really worried that Upamecano will have offers presented to him in early 2026 if an agreement with Bayern is not reached.

“And Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City are all very much in the mix for him, they all rate him highly.”

Chelsea could use Dayot Upamecano

Chelsea have looked vulnerable defensively, and they need more depth in that area of the pitch. Most of their defenders are struggling with injury problems. The 27-year-old will add more quality and depth to their squad. 

He has done quite well for the German champions, and he has the qualities to succeed in the Premier League as well. He has been linked with the move to England in the past, and it remains to be seen whether a move materialises in the coming months. 

Liverpool keen on Upamecano

On the other hand, Liverpool need more depth defensively as well. They have looked quite poor at the back this season. They need to improve in that area of the pitch. Upamecano could be the ideal long-term replacement for his compatriot, Ibrahima Konate. Konate will be out of contract at the end of the season, and Liverpool need to fill the void left by him. 

The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge. The move to England could be ideal. He has won the league in Germany, and he may now seek a new challenge. 

Chelsea and Liverpool are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be hard to turn down for Upamecano.

Tottenham are looking to improve their attacking unit with the signing of Samu Aghehowa from Porto. 

The 21-year-old has been in fine form for this season, scoring 11 goals in all competitions. Tottenham are keen on securing his signature, and they are now accelerating their efforts to get the deal done. The player has a £88 million release clause in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay up.

As per Fichajes, they are not the only club keen on the attacker, and they will face competition from bitter rivals Arsenal. 

Samu Aghehowa would improve Spurs

It remains to be seen whether Porto sanctions his departure in the middle of the season. He is a key player for them, and his departure in January would be a devastating blow for the Portuguese outfit. 

The Spanish attacker is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future. He has all the attributes to succeed in the Premier League, and Aghehowa could be a key player for Tottenham. Dominic Solanke has not been able to score goals consistently, and Richarlison has been quite mediocre since joining the club as well. 

Arsenal keen on Aghehowa

Meanwhile, Arsenal are keen on the striker as well. They have recently signed Viktor Gyokeres. They could certainly use two quality strikers, and the Spaniard could compete with the Swedish international for the starting spot. The competition for places will help both players improve. 

Arsenal will be hoping to win the league title and the UEFA Champions League. They need multiple quality players at their disposal. Another striker would be ideal. 

The 21-year-old will be attracted to the idea of moving to the Premier League. It would be a step up in his career, and regular football in England could help him improve further.

The 20-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he is expected to develop into a top-class player. He has not had the best of spells at the German club, and he has struggled for regular opportunities. Naturally, he is being linked with the return to England.

There have been rumours of a loan move for Bellingham as well.

Man United very keen on Jobe Bellingham

According to Fichajes, Manchester United view him as a priority target, and they are preparing a €50 million offer to sign him. It will be interesting to see if the German club is willing to sell the player in January.

There is no doubt that Bellingham is a promising young player with a bright future. He has been described as the ‘full package’ in the past. He will add creativity, control, drive and goals to the Manchester United midfield. They are looking to build a formidable squad for the future, and signing a promising young talent like him would be a wise decision.

Bellingham has been likened to Frank Lampard.

The midfielder will be desperate for regular football as well. If Manchester United can provide him with the necessary assurance, he is likely to be tempted to join them. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with a platform to showcase his qualities in the Premier League.

Regular football in England could accelerate his development and help bring out the best in him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. There have been tensions between the player’s camp and the German club in recent weeks. Dortmund could be tempted to cash in if there is a lucrative proposal on the table.

Manchester United have shown improvement in recent weeks, and they will look to build on that with quality signings in January.

He has the physicality and technical attributes for Premier League football as well.

Chelsea and Liverpool need to tighten up at the back if they want to win major trophies. The 28-year-old could help them improve in that department. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs follow up on their interest with an official proposal in the coming weeks.

The defender is at the peak of his career, and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Chelsea are hoping to sign Guela Doue during the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old has done quite well for French outfit Strasbourg, and Chelsea are interested in securing his signature.

According to Football Insider, Chelsea are front-runners to get the deal done because of their relationship with the French outfit. Both clubs are owned by BlueCo, and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea can negotiate a reasonable deal for the defender.

Chelsea have recently sent scouts to watch Doue as well.

Chelsea lead race for Guela Doue

Pete O’Rourke claimed: “Obviously, Chelsea are probably frontrunners due to their relationship with Strasbourg as both clubs are owned by Blue Co.

“You’re probably looking between £20-25million for Doue in his current form. He’s under contract with the French club until 2029, so they’re under no real pressure to sell him just now as well.”

They are looking to add more quality and depth to the full back areas, and Doue would be a solid long-term investment. He has shown his quality in France, and he has the ability to do well in England as well. The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for him. It would be a huge step up in his career.

Doue could thrive in England

Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his potential. Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have done well in grooming young players in the past. They could play a key role in his development.

The 23-year-old will be excited to take on a new challenge at this stage of his career, and he will hope that the two clubs can finalise a deal. The report claims that a deal could be done for a fee of around £20-25 million. Chelsea certainly have the financial muscle to pay the asking price, and the deal could look like a bargain if the defender manages to fulfil his potential with them.

Manchester United are looking to improve their midfield unit during the January transfer window, and they are looking to sign Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid. 

The 25-year-old England international has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months. He was heavily linked with a return to English football during the summer transfer window as well. It seems that Manchester United are now prepared to make their move for Gallagher.

Man United keen on Conor Gallagher

According to a report from Fichajes, they would be willing to offer €60 million (£53m) in order to get the deal done. Atletico Madrid do not want to lose a key player in January unless there is an exceptional offer on the table. It will be interesting to see how they react to the €60 million proposal when it is presented.

Manchester United need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 25-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. He knows the league well, and he could make an instant impact. They need his physicality and work great in the midfield, and Gallagher could be a quality addition.

The midfielder has struggled for regular game time at the Spanish club, and he could consider returning to the Premier League. Manchester United have an exciting project, and they have done some impressive business in the summer. They have shown improvement in recent weeks, and the player could be tempted to join them.

Even though Manchester United have not been able to fight for major trophies regularly, they are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down. Gallagher could be tempted, especially if they are willing to provide him with regular opportunities.

Chelsea are looking to reduce their wage bill and get rid of some of their expendable players like Malo Gusto. 

Malo Gusto could be on his way out of the club, and Italian outfit Juventus are preparing an offer of €50 million to sign him. Bayern Munich were linked with Gusto in recent months as well.

Chelsea to cash in on Malo Gusto?

According to a report from Fichajes, Chelsea are prepared to consider selling the French defender. It remains to be seen of the situation develops. Gusto is hardly an indispensable asset for them. If they can sell him for €50 million, it could prove to be a sensible move for the London club.

The opportunity to join the Italian club could be exciting for the French defender as well. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to compete at a high level. He has not been a regular starter for Chelsea, and he could look to move on.

There is no doubt that he has the technical attributes for Italian football, and he could do well at Juventus. It seems that the move could be ideal for all parties.

There is no doubt that the 22-year-old is a quality player. However, he has been quite inconsistent with the English club. It would make sense for Chelsea to sell him and invest the proceeds into the playing squad. They have done well to improve the team in the recent windows, but they are not at the level required to win the league title or the UEFA Champions League. They need established stars along with the pool of young talent, they have at the club.

Selling the 22-year-old will certainly help them improve the team in future. It remains to be seen whether all parties can agree on a deal in the coming months.

Manchester United are hoping to sign the Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. 

According to a report from Fichajes, the 22-year-old midfielder is now a priority target for the Premier League club, and they will have to pay around €80 million in order to get the deal done. Real Madrid have made it clear that they will not entertain low offers for the player.

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United are willing to pay up. Camavinga has been linked with Liverpool as well. There have been rumours that Liverpool could look to pay £69 million for the player.

Eduardo Camavinga would improve Man United

The versatile French international would be an exceptional acquisition if they manage to get the deal done. They need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and Camavinga is tailor-made for them.

Camavinga is capable of operating anywhere across the midfield, and he is capable of operating in the wide areas, as a winger or a full-back. Xabi Alonso recently labelled him as “exceptional” after a solid performance from him in the wide areas.

The French International is quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for Manchester United in the long run. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer to him. The asking price is affordable for a club with their resources.

Can Man United convince Camavinga?

Meanwhile, Manchester United will need to convince the player to join them as well. They will need to convince him that their project is capable of helping him fulfil his ambitions.

The 22-year-old will want to win major trophies in his career, and he will only join a club where he will be able to win silverware. It will be interesting to see if he is prepared to consider a move to Old Trafford.

Liverpool are looking to improve their defensive unit with the signing of the Ecuador international defender Joel Ordonez from Club Brugge. 

The 21-year-old central defender has done quite well for the Belgian club, and Liverpool views Ordonez as an option to improve their defensive unit.

They have looked vulnerable at the back season, and they will need to replace Ibrahima Konate at the end of the season as well. The French International will be a free agent soon, and Liverpool need to start planning for life without him.

Liverpool could use Joel Ordonez

The 21-year-old Ecuador International could prove to be an excellent addition. He has proven himself in Belgium, and he has done quite well at the international level with his country as well. Ordonez has been labelled as “outstanding” in the past. He has been linked with Chelsea as well.

He has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and Liverpool are ready to break the Bank for him. According to a report from Bolavip, Liverpool would be willing to pay around €40 million for the defender. They are ready to offer him a huge salary in excess of €3 million per season.

The defender will be attracted to the idea of joining the Premier League champions. It would be a huge opportunity for him, and he will look to prove himself in England. The money on offer is quite tempting for the player as well. It remains to be seen whether his club is willing to accept the €40 million offer when it is presented.

Liverpool should look to get the deal done in January. They have been in disastrous form in recent weeks, and they will look to get their season back on track. Signing the right players in January could help them bounce back strongly.

Report: Chelsea and Man United monitoring “generational talent” from English outfit

Chelsea and Manchester United are among the clubs interested in signing the Leicester City attacker, Jeremy Monga. 

The 16-year-old winger is highly rated across England, and he has a bright future. The talented young attacker is on the radar of multiple clubs, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to come forward with an offer to sign him

He is not eligible to sign a professional contract with the Foxes until June 2026, and clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United will look to take advantage of the situation and sign the player. On the other hand, Leicester City will hope to keep him at the club until June so that they can persuade him to sign a professional deal with the club.

Manchester City and Tottenham are keen on Monga as well.

Jeremy Monga is a prodigious talent

Graeme Bailey claims on TBR: “Monga is a generational talent. At just 16, he already has more first-team appearances than players like Rio Ngumoha and Max Dowman, who have made huge impacts in the Premier League this season.

“But let’s not forget, Monga has already played in the Premier League and previously turned down approaches before signing his scholarship.

“Interest remains high, and there is a belief that by January he could be ready to make a move.

“Leicester are hoping that giving him regular first-team opportunities will convince him to stay until the summer, when he can sign a professional deal.

“At that point, the club could either sell him or at least secure a fee, rather than risk losing him for minimal compensation.”

Chelsea and Man United would do well to sign Monga

Chelsea and Manchester United have done well to bring talented young players in recent windows, and they are looking to build a formidable team for the future. Monga has been on the radar of clubs like Real Madrid as well.

The 16-year-old would be a solid long-term acquisition. They have done well to groom several talented young players into established stars in the past, and Monga will certainly fancy his chances of fulfilling his potential with the two clubs.
