Chelsea and Tottenham are interested in signing the Barcelona defender, Eric Garcia.

The 24-year-old has been linked with the move away from the Spanish club, but he has decided to renew his contract with them, as per Fichajes. Barcelona are hoping to keep him at the club for the long term as well.

The development will come as a huge blow for Chelsea and Spurs. Both clubs were looking to add more quality to the defensive unit. Garcia would have been a quality addition. He is capable of operating in multiple roles, and his versatility would have been a bonus.

The Spanish international has played in the Premier League before with Manchester City, and he won the League title with them. Apart from his quality as a player, his winning experience could have been invaluable. He helped Barcelona win the title last season.

The 24-year-old believes that he could be a player for Barcelona in the coming seasons as well, and he is hoping to win major trophies with the Spanish outfit. He has no desire to return to the Premier League.

It will be interesting to see if Chelsea and Tottenham decide to move on to other targets. They need to add more depth to the squad if they want to fight for major trophies. They will look to get back to the top of English football in the coming seasons.

Both teams have recently won European trophies, and they are looking to improve their squad so that they can fight for the league title. Someone like Garcia would have helped them tighten up defensively. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the necessary additions in the coming months.

The 25-year-old has registered 11 goal contributions in all competitions, and he could prove to be an excellent long-term acquisition for both teams. They need more quality on the flanks, and the 25-year-old could transform them going forward.

Vinicius Junior would be an excellent signing

He is one of the best acting players in the world, and he has the technical attributes to make an instant impact in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Fichajes claims that they will face competition from Manchester City as well.

All three clubs have the financial resources to pay a significant amount of money for the Real Madrid star. It will be interesting to see if the Spanish outfit is willing to sanction his departure.

The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid in recent months. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Losing a player of his quality would be a devastating blow for the Spanish outfit.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City will have to convince the player that he will be able to fulfil his ambitions with them. It will not be easy getting the deal across the line.

Liverpool are looking to improve their defensive unit with the signing of Nico Schlotterbeck. 

The 25-year-old defender is on the radar of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich as well. According to a report from Fichajes. Liverpool have held “positive” talks with the player’s camp, and they would be prepared to offer an excess of €50 million in order to get the deal done.

Liverpool could use Nico Schlotterbeck

They need to sign a quality central defender, and the German would be a superb addition. He could be the ideal replacement for Ibrahima Konate, who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season. The French International will be a free agent in the summer, and he has not signed an extension with the Premier League club.

They will need to replace him with a quality player, and the German has already proved himself in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can beat Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to his signature. The player is at the peak of his career, and he has the physicality to succeed in the Premier League. He could make an instant impact in English football.

His contract with the German club expires in 2027, and they will be under pressure to consider selling him this summer. Dortmund will not want to lose the player on a free transfer in 2027. It remains to be seen what the player decides.

He will hope to join a club where he will be able to fight for trophies regularly. Liverpool certainly have the resources to offer him that platform. It remains to be seen whether they can convince him to turn down the opportunity to join the other clubs.

Manchester United are looking to improve their attacking unit with the signing of Brazilian striker Vitor Roque. 

The 20-year-old has done quite well for Palmeiras, scoring 17 goals this season. He could prove to be an excellent long-term investment for Manchester United if they manage to get the deal done. They could use more cutting-edge in the final third, and the Brazilian would be a solid acquisition.

Vitor Roque would be a future addition

Roque is highly rated, and he has the potential to develop into a quality Premier League striker. Manchester United could nurture him into a future star. Chelsea and Tottenham have been linked with the striker as well.

Roque knows all about playing for elite clubs from his time at Barcelona. He was not able to showcase his true potential at the Spanish club, and he will be desperate to showcase his qualities in England now. As per Fichajes, Manchester United are lining up a £44 million move for him, and it remains to be seen whether Palmas are prepared to sanction his departure.

Manchester United have an ambitious project, and they are looking to build a team capable of winning trophies regularly. Signing one of the best young talents in South America would be a step in the right direction. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

They have done well to groom talented young players over the years, and they could help the Brazilian improve as well.

The 20-year-old is expected to develop into a top-class player in future, and he could be tempted to take on a new challenge if Manchester United come forward with an official proposal. He will feel that he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League after failing to make his mark in La Liga. The move to England could be a golden opportunity for him to prove his doubters wrong.

West Ham are eyeing up a move for Roque as well.

Chelsea are hoping to sign the Turkish international attacker Kenan Yildiz from Juventus. 

The 20-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he has shown his quality with Juventus. Chelsea are hoping to secure his signature, and they are plotting a £79 million move for him.

Chelsea keen on Kenan Yildiz

As per Fichajes, they view him as a modern attacker who is capable of slotting into multiple roles. He will add goals and creativity to the site. He could share the creative burden with Cole Palmer. Chelsea have been overly reliant on the England international in the final third.

Yildiz has all the tools to develop into a world-class player, and Chelsea could groom him into a future superstar. Even though the investment is quite substantial, the player has the ability to justify the outlay in future.

Yildiz could fancy a move

The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for the Turkish international. It will be interesting to see if Juventus are prepared to sanction his departure. They will be aware of the fact that he is a world-class talent, and he could develop into a superstar. They might not want to lose him anytime soon.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Chelsea have the finances to pay a premium, and they will help to tempt the Italian club into selling the prized prospect. It would be a major coup for Chelsea if they managed to get the deal done.

They have done well to improve their squad in the recent windows, but they are not quite at the level required to win the league title or the UEFA Champions League. Signing players like Yildiz could take them to a whole new level.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Real Madrid are eyeing Yildiz as well.

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the German International midfielder Angelo Stiller. 

The 24-year-old has done quite well in the Bundesliga with VfB Stuttgart, and he has attracted the attention of the Premier League club. According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United view him as a “world-class playmaker”.

Man United switch attention towards Angelo Stiller

They wanted to sign Carlos Baleba from Brighton initially, but the African is likely to cost around £100 million. Stiller will be a more reasonable acquisition. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can get the deal across the line.

Stiller will add defensive cover and physicality to the side. He will help protect the back four and allow the creative players to operate with more freedom.

The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be quite exciting for Stiller. It would be a step up for him, and he would get to test himself at a higher level. Manchester United are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down.

Stiller could fancy joining Man United

Even though they have not been fighting for major trophies, they have an ambitious project, and they could be fighting for silverware soon. The German international midfielder wants to be a part of their project if there is a concrete proposal in front of him.

The midfielder is a target for Real Madrid as well. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can win the race for his signature. He is likely to cost in excess of €50 million. Manchester United certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line.

The player has the quality used to justify the investment in future. He will look to adapt to English football quickly and make an instant impact.

Leeds unlikely to be able to sign 23-year-old Premier League ace in January

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Brentford midfielder Fabio Carvalho.

Carvalho has been linked with the Whites in the past as well, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in January.

Move for Fabio Carvalho seems unlikely

However, Graeme Bailey believes that it is highly unlikely that Brentford will sanction his departure to a rival club. The player is likely to move back to a European club. Bailey believes that a move to Germany is most likely for Carvalho.

He said on Leeds United News: “I’ve heard a lot about him.

“I think they will let him go out. I think a move back into Europe and back to Germany is most likely. I don’t see Brentford letting him go to a rival. It’s pretty nonsensical, really.”

Where will Carvalho end up?

The Brentford midfielder has not been able to live up to the expectations since joining the club. He needs a fresh start, and a move away from the Premier League could be ideal for him. The technically gifted attacker is capable of operating in multiple roles. He can slot in centrally as the attacking midfielder as well as on the flanks. He will add goals and creativity to the right team.

Leeds could certainly use a technically gifted player like him, but Brentford are unlikely to strengthen their rivals in the middle of the season.

It will be interesting to see where Carvalho ends up. The former Fulham and Liverpool midfielder is a promising talent, and he should look to join a team where he will get ample opportunities and backing. He will be desperate to regain his form and confidence with regular opportunities during the second half of the season.

As for Leeds United, they need to improve their attacking unit during the January window, and it remains to be seen who they move for.

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Leeds United midfielder Ao Tanaka could be dropped for the upcoming Premier League clash against Brighton.

Daniel Farke has a fully fit squad at his disposal for the upcoming match, but Tanaka could be dropped after his mediocre performances.

The midfielder recently admitted that he is still adapting to the demands of Premier League football, and he is looking to improve his form in the coming weeks. Tanaka recently returned from injury.

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has praised the midfielder’s self-awareness, and he believes that the Japanese international is determined to improve.

Daniel Farke on Ao Tanaka

Farke said via MOT Forum: “I like when someone is humble, self-critical and puts his demands really high. No reason to be too self-critical. Ao was fantastic for us, of course, it’s the first time in his career he has played in a top league, so a point to prove there. Had a fantastic pre-season, also a fantastic start in the Everton game, for example.

“Sadly, an injury and no one is to blame, especially not him. Out for a few weeks, it’s not like the first game back, where you play the opponent out of the park. “Definitely a solid performance against West Ham. Didn’t expect him to be Man of the Match, but I think he was quite solid and played his part to dominate the game. A bit tired after 60 minutes, but that’s normal.”

Tanaka to be dropped?

It remains to be seen whether the Leeds manager decides to take the player out of the firing line for a bit.

Anton Stach could be handed a start in his place against Brighton. Leeds have made a disappointing start to the season, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly. They will not want to go back down to the Championship at the end of the season. They will look to establish themselves as Premier League regulars, and they need to improve their performance levels.

Leeds are currently 15th in the league table with just 11 points from 9 matches.

Farke will have to be ruthless with his team selection so that he can get the best out of his players.
Meanwhile, Tanaka will look to improve his performances in training and convince the manager to give him regular opportunities in future.

By:Saikat

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Vitor Pereira is under a lot of pressure after a disappointing start to the season.

Wolves are yet to pick up a single victory in the Premier League, and Pereira could be shown the door soon.

It will be interesting to see if he can help his team turn things around in the coming weeks.

Vitor Pereira to be sacked?

Wolves are currently at the bottom of the league table, and they are one of the favourites to go down this season. They will be desperate for survival in the Premier League. If the results do not improve quickly, they should look to make a managerial change.

According to Football Insider, they will have to pay a substantial payout if they decide to sack Pereira. The manager signed a new three-year contract at Wolves last month, and Wolves will be disappointed with the situation.

Meanwhile, the report claims that they could look to bring in a cheap option to replace Pereira if they decide to sack the manager.

Brendan Rodgers to replace Pereira?

Former Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is reportedly one of the names under consideration. He has recently resigned from the Scottish club, and he would be a cheap acquisition.

Rodgers has managed in the Premier League in the past, and he could prove to be an excellent addition. Wolves have quality attacking players at their disposal, and Rodgers might be able to bring out the best in them. The opportunity to take over at a Premier League club could be tempting for the manager as well. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Pereira will certainly want to hold on to his job, and it remains to be seen whether he can get his team firing on all cylinders again.

According to a report from AfricaFoot, the 22-year-old defensive midfielder could be available for a fee of €5 million. It would be a huge bargain if West Ham managed to get the deal done.

West Ham could use Mamady Diambou

They need more defensive steel and physicality in the middle of the park. The African could transform them in the midfield. He will help protect the defensive unit and allow the creative players to express themselves freely.

West Ham have been quite poor defensively this season, and they need to tighten up at the back if they want to survive in the top flight. They cannot afford to keep leaking goals if they want to finish in a respectable position. West Ham have let in 20 goals from just nine league games. 

Adding a quality defensive midfielder could make a huge difference for them. The Mali international has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he could make an instant impact.

By:Saikat

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is reportedly worried about Brennan Johnson.

The Welsh International attacker has been impressive since joining the club from Nottingham Forest, but he can be quite inconsistent. Frank believes that the player has the quality to develop into a key player for Tottenham, but he needs to work on his consistency.

It will be interesting to see if Johnson can improve in the coming months and establish himself as an indispensable asset for the Danish manager.

According to TBR Football, Tottenham are looking to bring in a white player, and it is an indication that the Welsh International will need to improve if he wants to have a long-term future at the north London club. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Brennan Johnson future in doubt

Graeme Bailey said: “Brennan Johnson is determined that he has a future at Spurs and can convince Thomas Frank that he can be a key player for him. We understand Frank likes Johnson and believes he is capable of playing at a high level but the consistency factor is a worry.

“Like with the whole Spurs squad, Frank is getting to grips with how he sees it going forward, what work needs to be done. The fact Spurs are still in the market for another wide player may be an indication that Johnson has work to do to convince Frank that he has a long-term future.”

Can Johnson redeem himself?

Johnson scored the winning goal in the final of the UEFA Europa League for Tottenham, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to play for Spurs regularly. However, he will need to iron out the inconsistency issues in his game.

Tottenham are in desperate need of a reliable wide player, and Johnson could solve that problem if he manages to improve.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. If he fails to convince the manager over the next few months, Tottenham are likely to dip into the transfer market for another winger.

“He did join with an obligation built in, but in theory, that could possibly see him return. We may not have seen the last of Elliott at Anfield as they also have a buy-back, and Liverpool put that in as they rate him so highly.

“But as it stands, Liverpool firmly believe that he becomes an Aston Villa player and he will be a success for them. But it is fair to say they are monitoring the situation.”

There is no doubt that he would be an excellent addition for the Premier League champions if he manages to fulfil his potential.

He is capable of operating centrally as an attacking midfielder as well as on the flanks. He will help create opportunities and score goals for Aston Villa. It remains to be seen whether Unai Emery can bring out the best in the player over the next few months.

Newcastle United remain interested in signing Alexander Sorloth from Atletico Madrid in the coming months.

As per reports via SportWitness, Newcastle have sent scouts to watch the player in action.

The 29-year-old Norwegian has struggled for regular opportunities at the Spanish club, and he might need to move on in order to play regularly. Julian Alvarez is currently the first-choice striker at the Spanish club.

Newcastle move could be ideal for Alexander Sorloth

Sorloth needs to play more often at this stage of his career. Returning to the Premier League could be ideal for him. He scored 24 goals in all competitions last season, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for Newcastle. He has been hailed as a “fantastic” player.

The Magpies invested in two quality strikers during the summer transfer window. They signed Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa. The German International has been outstanding since joining the club, but Wissa has not been able to make an impact because of injuries.

It seems that Newcastle are now looking to add more depth to the side. The former Crystal Palace striker knows the league, and he will be able to make an instant impact. The opportunity to join Newcastle could be exciting for him, especially if they are willing to provide him with gametime assurance. He will not want to sit on the bench at the English club.

It will be interesting to see how Newcastle accommodate three strikers in the starting lineup. Neither of them will want to sit on the bench.

Newcastle could use Sorloth

Newcastle are competing in the UEFA Champions League, and they will be hoping to fight for major trophies regularly. They need more quality and depth on the side. The 29-year-old has the quality and the experience to help them improve. It remains to be seen whether they can convince him to join.

They are among the richest clubs in the world, and they have the finances to the La Liga outfit into selling the striker.

Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly on signing the highly rated RB Salzburg winger Kerim Alajbegovic. 

The 18-year-old has attracted the attention of top teams with his performance, and a report from Defensa Central claims that Real Madrid are interested in the player as well. Alajbegovic has seven goal contributions for Salzburg this season.

Chelsea and Man United are tracking Kerim Alajbegovic

Chelsea and Manchester United could certainly use more quality on the flanks, and the 18-year-old would be a long-term acquisition for them. The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be tempting for the player. It would be a massive step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level if the move goes through.

It will be interesting to see if the two Premier League clubs decide to follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done. They are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be attractive for the young attacker.

Similarly, Real Madrid are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down for Alajbegovic. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. It is fair to assume that all three clubs have the resources to get the deal across the line.

Alajbegovic is a promising young player with a bright future, and he needs to focus on his development now. He needs to choose his next destination carefully. Sitting on the bench at a big club will not benefit him. It could be detrimental to his development. He needs to join a club where he will get ample opportunities and a clear pathway to the first team.

The attacker must seek gametime assurances before joining a new club.

Report: West Ham to compete with Aston Villa and Everton for “good finisher” from rival club

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.

The 24-year-old has struggled for regular opportunities at Old Trafford, and he needs to leave the club in January to play more often. With the World Cup coming up next summer, he needs to play regularly with his club to cement his place in the national team. Zirkzee is yet to score a goal this season, and he has not started a single league game.

Joshua Zirkzee wants out

According to a report from TeamTalk, the striker is open to leaving Manchester United in January so that he can get his career back on track. Several clubs are keen on securing a signature, and West Ham United have also joined the race. They will face competition from Aston Villa and Everton.

West Ham have struggled to score goals, and signing the 24-year-old could prove to be a wise decision. He has previously shown his quality with Bologna, and he could be very useful for the London club if he manages to get back to his best. He has been hailed as a “good finisher” by Robert Lewandowski.

Similarly, Aston Villa could use more depth in the attacking unit. The Netherlands International could support Ollie Watkins in the attack. He is more than just a goal scorer, and his creativity and link-up play could add a new dimension to the Aston Villa attack. 

Finally, Everton need an alternative to Beto, who has not been at his best. It will be interesting to see if they can sign the Manchester United striker in January. All three clubs could prove to be excellent opportunities for the player. It remains to be seen whether he is prepared to continue in the Premier League. He has been linked with the return to Italy as well. It will be interesting to see what he decides.

Report: West Ham considering €20 million offer for playmaker from La Liga club

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

West Ham United are interested in signing the Barcelona prodigy Dro Fernandez. 

The 17-year-old is highly rated, and he could develop into a quality player for the London club in future. According to a report from Fichajes, they are considering a €20 million offer to sign the player.

It will be interesting to see if Barcelona are willing to sell the player. He is a bright young talent with a big future, and the Spanish outfit could regret the decision to let him leave. Meanwhile, the Hammers are looking to build for the future, and it is no surprise that they are keen on signing a promising young player like Fernandez.

Chelsea and Manchester City are keen on Fernandez. On top of that, Liverpool and Manchester United are keeping tabs on the player as well.

Barcelona to sell Dro Fernandez?

The 17-year-old midfielder is already a part of Barcelona’s first team. It is clear that they value him highly. They will not want to lose someone with his potential. Furthermore, West Ham will find a difficult to convince the midfielder to join them as well. He will want to continue playing for his boyhood club, and he will look to win major trophies with them. The move to West Ham could come across as a step down for him.

Can West Ham convince Fernandez?

It will be interesting to see what happens if West Ham submit an official offer to get the deal done. It has been a disappointing season for the London club, and they will look to bounce back strongly. They must finish in a respectable position in order to attract elite young talent like Fernandez. They will need to be able to convince him that he will be able to fulfil his ambitions with them.

It is fair to assume that it will be a difficult transfer to get across the line.

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the Boca Juniors prospect Milton Delgado.

The 20-year-old defensive midfielder has attracted the attention of the London club, and a report from Boca Noticias claims that the player has a €17.2 million release clause in his contract.

Delgado has been linked with Manchester United as well.

Chelsea to sign Milton Delgado?

Chelsea certainly have the financial muscle to pay up, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the Argentine youth International. The midfielder has impressed in the Under-20 World Cup, and he has the potential to develop into a quality player for Chelsea with the right guidance.

They could certainly use more quality and depth in the squad, and the 20-year-old would be a long-term investment. The €17.2 million investment could look like a bargain in future.

Chelsea have done well to groom young players over the years, and they could help Delgado fulfil his potential as well. The opportunity to move to England will be quite exciting for the young midfielder. It would be a step up for him, and he would get to test himself at the highest level.

Regular opportunities in the Premier League could accelerate his development. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done.

If Chelsea decide to trigger the release clause in the midfielder’s contract, Boca Juniors will be powerless to stop him from leaving in January.

Convincing the midfielder to join the club should not be too difficult for Chelsea. They are among the biggest clubs in the world, and most young players will be tempted to join them. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

By:Saikat

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Jarrod Bowen and Samu Aghehowa next season. 

They are already putting plans in place to improve the attacking unit, and they have identified the two players as priority targets. They are likely to cost a combined fee of around €130 million (£114 million), as per Fichajes.

Tottenham have spent a lot of money earlier this summer, and they have done well to improve the squad. However, they are not quite at the level required to fight for major trophies. They need to add more quality and depth to the squad in the coming months.

Tottenham could use Samu Aghehowa and Jarrod Bowen

Signing a reliable striker and another quality wide player would be ideal. Aghehowa has been scoring goals consistently for Porto, and there is no doubt that he has the physicality to adapt to English football. He could be a long-term acquisition for Tottenham. If they can groom him properly, he could develop into a star for the club.

On the other hand, Bowen has proven himself with West Ham. He knows the league well, and he could make an instant impact.

Both players could improve Spurs

Both players have the quality to improve Tottenham immensely. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. They have done well to improve the other areas of their squad, and adding two quality attackers could take them to a whole new level.

They have recently won the UEFA Europa League, and they will look to fight for league titles and the UEFA Champions League as well.

Both players could be attracted to the idea of joining the London club. It would be a step up for them, and they would get to fight for trophies. It will be interesting to see if Porto and West Ham are prepared to sell.

The 20-year-old Turkish international has attracted the attention of multiple clubs with his performances, and Chelsea are hoping to sign him.

Chelsea plot Kenan Yildiz move

According to a report from Team Talk, they have held discreet talks with the player’s representatives, and they have submitted a “very exciting proposal” for him. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.

The player is likely to cost around €90 million. Chelsea are looking to bring him in as a partner for Cole Palmer in the attack. The Turkish attacker is certainly a tremendous talent, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He could develop into a world-class player with the right guidance.

The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for him. Despite the interest from other clubs, Chelsea are leading the race for his signature. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Chelsea will be hoping to fight for major trophies, and they need top-class players at their disposal.

Yildiz will add goals and creativity to their attack. The 20-year-old is versatile enough to operate in multiple attacking roles, and he could be a long-term asset for the club. The Turkish international has three goals and four assists to his name this season. His numbers could improve with coaching and experience.

“You don’t understand football”: Premier League boss gives verdict on Arsenal’s set-piece style

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Burnley manager Scott Parker has defended Arsenal against the criticism of their set-piece style.

He also suggested that they are a quality team and that they are not entirely dependent on set pieces. 

Arsenal have been overly criticised this season for their reliance on set-pieces. They have been exceptional in that department, and it has yielded valuable goals. 

However, Parker believes that set pieces are not the only reason why Arsenal are on top of the table. He believes that they are a top team and they have performed at a high level. There is no doubt that Arsenal have a talented team, and they have been exceptional this season.

Scott Parker on Arsenal

Parker said: “Arsenal aren’t just about set-pieces – if you think they’re only top of the league because they score from corners then you don’t understand football”.

Arsenal are favourites for the title

Based on the performances so far, there is no doubt that they will be the favourites to win the league title. They have come close to winning the Premier League in recent seasons, and this seems like a golden opportunity for them to go all the way. 

Defending champions Liverpool have been quite poor, and Manchester City have been inconsistent. Arsenal are certainly the best team in the country right now, and they will look to go all the way and win the title. 

Regardless of the criticism of their style of football, they have managed to grind out important results, and they have been very difficult to breach defensively. There is no doubt that they deserve to be at the top of the table right now.

The 22-year-old has done quite well since joining the Spanish club, and he has nine goal contributions in all competitions.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are monitoring his progress as well.

Arsenal and Manchester United would have to pay €40 million (£35m) to get the deal done. On the other hand, the Spanish club will be able to sign him for just €30 million, as per reports via SportWitness.

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal or Manchester United come forward with an offer to sign him. They could use more depth in the attacking.

Arsenal have signed Viktor Gyokeres, but the Swedish international has not been able to find the back of the net regularly. More competition for places would be ideal.

Similarly, Manchester United have signed Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian needs more support in the attack, and the 22-year-old La Liga striker could be an ideal acquisition.

The opportunity to join Arsenal or Manchester United will be quite exciting for him. It would be a huge step up for him, and he would get to test himself alongside top-quality players in England.

The reported asking price is certainly affordable for Arsenal and Manchester United. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay. If the 22-year-old manages to fulfil his potential in England, the deal could look like a major bargain in future.

It remains to be seen whether the player is willing to commit his future to the club. Arsenal and Tottenham have done well to bring talented young players in recent years, but they will not want to pay over the odds. If the Brazilian attacker decides to sign a new contract with Vasco, the two Premier League clubs could be priced out of a move.

They will certainly hope that the young attacker decides to move in the coming months. He is a tremendous talent with a bright future. He is capable of operating anywhere across the front three. He will add pace, goals and flair to the side. Rayan has 16 goals to his name this season, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.

According to a report from Fichajes, other clubs are also keeping tabs on his progress. 

However, Chelsea have an advantage in the race to sign the striker. They are owned by the same company as Strasbourg, and therefore, it will be easy for them to negotiate a deal for the striker. 

Convincing Panichelli to join the club will not be difficult for the Blues. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them will be hard to turn down for the young attacker. Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his potential.

Chelsea have already invested in two quality strikers this summer. Joao Pedro and Liam Delap are expected to leave the line for Chelsea in the coming season. It will be interesting to see if the 23-year-old is willing to join them, even though he might not be a regular starter. 

Panichelli needs to play regularly at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench will not benefit him. The Premier League might need to convince him that he will get ample opportunities at the London club.

Liverpool spent a substantial amount of money during the summer transfer window when they were expected to defend the Premier League crown.

However, they have already fallen behind Arsenal in the title race, and it seems unlikely that they will be able to win the league title. Naturally, the Dutch manager is under a lot of pressure. There have been rumours that he could be shown the door if the results do not improve quickly.

It remains to be seen whether they decide to make a move for him. The opportunity to move to England could be quite exciting for the Brazilian. It would be a major step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level.

Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to manage them will be hard to turn down. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds over the next few weeks. Slot helped Liverpool win the league title last season, but they are unlikely to persist until the end of the season if the results do not improve dramatically.

Chelsea need to keep their best players in order to do well, and it is no surprise that they are looking to tie down a new deal. The 22-year-old is already a useful player for them, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Jonathan David from Juventus in the upcoming transfer window.

According to a report from Fichajes, the Italian outfit is unhappy with the performance of the Canadian International. They signed him on a free transfer at the start of the season, but he has managed to find the back of the net just once in all competitions.

It will be interesting to see if they decide to sell the player in January. They will be able to make a profit if they do so. Tottenham have tried to sign David in the past.

Spurs keen on Jonathan David

Meanwhile, Tottenham are hoping to secure his signature. David was regarded as one of the finest attacking prospects in European football before he moved to Italy. There is no doubt that he has the qualities to do well in England.

Jess Thorup once described him: “I have to say the boy belongs in a top league. He has everything to become a star in world football, not just as an athlete but also because of his personality.”

David needs a fresh start

He will be able to compete with Dominic Solanke for the starting spot at the North London club. He will look to add goals to the side and get back to his best once again. Tottenham have a more attacking approach compared to the Italian club, and the Canadian International could thrive at the London club.

The move through England could be ideal for the player. It could help him regain his form and confidence. A fresh start would be ideal for him. That is no doubt that he’s a talented player with a bright future. The move to Italy has not worked out for him, but he has plenty of time to get his career back on track.

Tottenham need more attacking depth in the side as well, and the move could be ideal for all parties.

Chelsea & Man United to battle it out for the “most decisive player in the world”

By:Saikat

Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly among clubs interested in signing the Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior.

As per Fichajes, the 25-year-old has been linked with the move away from the Spanish club in recent weeks. His contract with the club expires in 2027, and he has not signed an extension with them. The La Liga outfit is now concerned about losing him in the future. If he does not renew his contract with the Spanish club until the end of the season, it would make sense for them to cash in on the player. They will not want to lose him on a free transfer in 2027.

Chelsea and Man United to move for Vinicius Junior?

It will be interesting to see if Chelsea and Manchester United decide to test their luck with an offer at the end of this season. They could use more quality and depth on the flanks, and the Brazilian is a world-class player. Carlo Ancelotti once described him as “the most decisive player in the world”. There is no doubt that he could transform both teams in the attack.

Chelsea and Manchester United have not been able to fight for major trophies in recent years. They will look to get back to the top of English football once again. Signing one of the superstars of the modern era will certainly help them push for major trophies.

Vinicius would be a solid addition

Vinicius is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world, and he could make an instant impact in the Premier League. He will add pace, flair, goals, and unpredictability in the final third. He has the technical attributes to adapt to English football as well. He has 11 goal contributions this season.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Real Madrid will be desperate to keep him at the club for as long as possible. He is at the peak of his powers, and his exit would be a devastating blow.

“Spurs have been there…”: Tottenham linked with January move for 17-goal Frenchman

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. 

The 28-year-old French attacker has been linked with a move away from the London club in recent months. Crystal Palace managed to hold onto him during the summer window, but he could be on his way out of the club in the near future.

He has a contract with the Eagles until the summer of 2027, and Palace could be under pressure to sell him at the end of this season if he does not renew his contract with them.

However, they are under no pressure to sell him in January. It is highly unlikely that they will sell one of their best players in the middle of the season and jeopardise their chances of doing well.

Jean-Philippe Mateta exit seems unlikely in January

Pete O’Rourke claimed on Football Insider: “He’s been instrumental in Palace‘s success in the last 18 months with 17 goals last season, 46 appearances, he’s carried that fine form into this season.

“Spurs have been there with a number of strikers in recent weeks and months. It does seem like it’s an area of the team they would like to strengthen.

“Mateta could be a good fit for them and everything, but I don’t see any deal happening in January.”

Spurs could use Mateta

It is no secret that Tottenham need another quality striker. Dominic Solanke and Richarlison have not been able to find the back of the net regularly. Mateta is a reliable striker, and he has shown his quality in the Premier League regularly. He could make an instant impact. However, Tottenham will have to wait until the summer transfer window to sign him.

Given his contract situation, he could be available for a reasonable amount of money in the sum of 2026. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can sign him.

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta wants to leave the club in the coming months.

The 28-year-old Brazilian has been linked with a move away from the London club in the past as well. According to a report via Claret&Hugh, the South American is seeking a new challenge.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

West Ham must hold on to Lucas Paqueta

West Ham have been quite disappointing in the Premier League, and losing one of their best players would be a blow for them. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to let him leave in January.

The Hammers will be desperate to secure safety in the Premier League this season. They will not want to go down to the Championship. They need to keep their best players in order to survive. It would be ideal for them to hold onto the Brazilian until the end of the season.

Paqueta had previously hinted that he will stay at the club this season.

There is no doubt that the South American is good enough to play for a bigger club. He will look to take on a new challenge at this stage of his career. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to come forward and provide him with an exit route.

West Ham should do everything in their power to convince the Brazilian to stay until the end of the season. They have not been able to perform at a high level, and it is no surprise that their top players are looking to move on. Paqueta is at the peak of his career, and he will want to fight for trophies. West Ham have not been able to provide him with that platform.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks.

Report: Postecoglou set for another managerial role after Nottingham Forest sack

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Ange Postecoglou was recently sacked by Nottingham Forest, and he is already being linked with a move to Celtic.

The Scottish outfit is reportedly looking for a quality replacement for Brendan Rodgers, and they want to bring the Australian back to the club. According to Football Insider, Celtic are expected to make contact with him soon.

The Australian was sacked after just 39 days at the English club.

Ange Postecoglou did well at Celtic

Postecoglou did a phenomenal job at Celtic during his previous spell with the club. He helped them win multiple League titles and a domestic treble as well. It is fair to assume that he will be attracted to the idea of returning to his former club. He enjoyed great success in Scotland, and he will look to guide Celtic back to the top of Scottish football once again.

Rodgers handed in his resignation earlier this week, and Celtic will need to replace him properly. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they need to bring in a manager who will help them win trophies immediately.

The Australian manager knows the club well, and he will be able to get the best out of their players. He has managed them in the past, and he will be able to settle in quickly.

Postecoglou will look to bounce back

Postecoglou will be desperate to prove his worth at the highest level after an unsuccessful stint at Nottingham Forest. He was shown the door at Tottenham at the end of last season after guiding them to a bottom-half finish in the Premier League. However, he did win the UEFA Europa League with them last season.

It will be interesting to see if he can guide Celtic to a trophy this season. The Scottish outfit is currently second in the league table, six points adrift of league leaders Hearts. They will be hoping to bounce back in the coming weeks.

Report: Man United clause in Jadon Sancho loan deal looking like a masterstroke now

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Aston Villa signed Jadon Sancho on loan from Manchester United during the summer transfer window.

The 25-year-old had a difficult time at Old Trafford, and he decided to join the West Midlands club on loan so that he could get his career back on track with regular football. However, the move has not gone according to plan. He has played just 53 minutes of league football so far.

Sancho has struggled for regular opportunities at Aston Villa, and it will be interesting to see if he can convince Unai Emery to give him more opportunities in the coming weeks.

Villa cannot send Jadon Sancho back

Aston Villa will be disappointed with how the loan spell has panned out so far. However, they do not have an option to send the player back to Manchester United. According to a report from the Mail, Manchester United negotiated a deal which would see the player continue with the West Midlands club until the end of the season.

Having him back at the club in the middle of the campaign would have been unsettling for Manchester United, and the decision to negotiate the ‘no break’ clause looks like a masterstroke now.

Sancho has flopped in English football

The 25-year-old was regarded as one of the finest young talents in world football when he joined Manchester United. However, the move to English football has not worked out for him. The 25-year-old simply lacks the physicality to thrive in the Premier League, and he needs to secure a move away from English football at the end of the season. His contract at Manchester United comes to an end in the summer of 2026, and they will be glad to get rid of the player.

Manchester United paid a premium in order to sign the player, but he has not been able to live up to the expectations. Manchester United will have to accept a massive loss on the transfer, but it would be ideal for all parties to go their separate ways.

Report: Tottenham ramping up efforts to land “extraordinary player” in January

By:Saikat

Tottenham Hotspur remain interested in the Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.

According to a report from Juve Live, they are very serious about signing the 25-year-old striker, and they are hoping to make their move in January.

The player will be out of contract at the end of the season, and Tottenham do not want him to agree on a pre-contract deal with any other club. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done in January. Chelsea have been linked with Vlahovic as well.

Tottenham could use Dusan Vlahovic

They are in desperate need of another striker, and the 25-year-old will add physicality, presence and goals to the side. He has shown his quality in Italy, and he has the attributes to do well in England as well.

Players like Richarlison and Dominic Solanke have been mediocre since joining the club, and Vlahovic would give them more options to work with.

The Serbian could be excited about the possibility of competing in the Premier League, and the move will be tempting for him. They are a big club with an exciting project. They have quality players and a top manager. Vlahovic might be able to fulfil his ambitions with them.

Vlahovic is available at a bargain

Given his contract situation, Vlahovic will be available for a reasonable amount of money in January. The Italian outfit are prepared to get rid of him, and it remains to be seen whether Spurs come forward with an acceptable offer.

The striker is at the peak of his career, and he has been labelled as an “extraordinary player”. He has the ability to hit the ground running in English football and transform Tottenham.

If Tottenham manage to sign the player for a reasonable amount of money, the move could prove to be a bargain in future.

Report: Chelsea could offer around €70-75 million for “extraordinary” La Liga utility man

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Chelsea are interested in signing the Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga in the coming months.

According to a report from Defensa Central via Chelsea News, the Blues could offer around €70 to 75 million for the French International. The player has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid, and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea can sign him.

Manchester United have been linked with Camavinga. He is thought to be on the radar of Liverpool as well.

Chelsea keen on Eduardo Camavinga

Chelsea News quotes the report stating: “Chelsea have been chasing Camavinga for some time, a player they’ve always liked but who hasn’t quite settled in at Madrid.

“However, his strong performance, even playing as a right winger, has put the London club on his trail again, and in recent hours, there’s even been talk within the English club of possible offers of between 70 and 75 million euros.”

Blues could use Camavinga

They could use more quality and depth in the middle of the park. The 22-year-old could complete their midfield alongside Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. Both players have been excellent for Chelsea, but they need more support in the middle of the park. Camavinga could be the ideal acquisition.

He is young enough to improve further, and he has the attributes to develop into a world-class player with the right guidance. The opportunity to move to Chelsea could be exciting for the French international as well. He has not been a regular starter for Real Madrid, and Chelsea could provide him with the opportunity to play every week.

He is capable of operating in multiple roles, and his versatility will be a bonus for Chelsea. Camavinga has been labelled as an “extraordinary” player by former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti.

The player could develop into a future star for Chelsea if they manage to get the deal done. €70-€75 million might be an expensive bit of business for Chelsea, but the player has the quality to justify the investment. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

€150m-rated star “ready to listen” to offers as Arsenal, Chelsea & Man United eye forward

AC Milan attacker Rafael Leao has been linked with a move away from the Italian club in the coming months.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, the 26-year-old Portuguese international would be willing to listen to offers if the right project is presented.

Rafael Leao is in demand

Clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are keeping tabs on him.

“Rafa loves Milan, but the Premier League is the pinnacle for many,” an insider told.

“If the right project comes, he’s ready to listen.”

They could use more quality and depth on the flanks, and the 26-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. The opportunity to join some of the biggest clubs in the world will be quite exciting for the player. He has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for all three clubs.

However, he has a €150 million release clause in his contract, and it seems highly unlikely that any club would be willing to pay that kind of money for him. Milan will have to be reasonable with their demands for the move to go through. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

Leao would improve all three clubs

The three Premier League clubs need more cutting-edge going forward, and the 26-year-old is versatile enough to operate anywhere across the front three. He will add goals and creativity to the side.

The opportunity to move to England at this stage of his career would be ideal. He has shown his ability in Italy, and he will look to take on a new challenge. He is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to move to the Premier League.

All three clubs could be attractive destinations for the attacker, and it remains to be seen what he decides.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the West Ham United attacker Jarrod Bowen. 

The 28-year-old has been exceptional for Hammers, and his performances have attracted the attention of the North London club.

Spurs keen on Jarrod Bowen

They could certainly use more quality and depth on the flanks, and the England International would be an exceptional addition.

He has been a reliable performer in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he is one of the best wingers in the country right now. Bowen would improve Spurs immensely. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net regularly.

Tottenham are in desperate need of a player like him. As per Fichajes, they are prepared to offer £53 million in order to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if West Ham are prepared to sanction his departure. They will not want to sell their captain anytime soon. They have started the season poorly, and they are very much in the fight for survival.

West Ham must keep Bowen

Selling one of their best players at this stage of the season would be devastating for them. It would be a huge mistake, and it could cost them a place in the Premier League next season.

Also, West Ham sold Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham at the start of the season. It seems unlikely that they will sell another key player to the North London outfit any time soon.

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old England international will certainly fancy the opportunity of joining a big club. He will not be able to fulfil his ambitions with West Ham, and leaving them could be ideal for him. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

25-year-old “presented to Chelsea” as a bargain option as Blues look to improve key area

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Chelsea have been offered the opportunity to sign the Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. 

According to reports via Chelsea News, the 25-year-old striker has been offered to the London club, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to take up the opportunity to sign him. He is likely to be made available for a fee of £20 million. Meanwhile, the striker is willing to accept a pay cut to move to a Premier League club.

Dusan Vlahovic offered to English clubs

Graeme Bailey has reportedly claimed on The Chelsea Chronicle: “Vlahovic’s people have been doing the rounds. They’ve been talking to clubs in England, touching base. Obviously in England, there’s only so many clubs that obviously can get a Vlahovic, in terms of the big top six. Tottenham, Chelsea are both in the market for strikers possibly.

“They’re being alerted to the fact that Vlahovic is available and he’s probably even available for less than 20 million in January but obviously it’s in the players hands and if he wants to move. It’s an option that the Chelsea have looked at before.

“They’ve been offered him. I’ve been told he’s looking for less money than what he’s on at Juventus now. He didn’t want to take a wage drop, but he’s looking for less money now. So, I think it’s an option that’s being presented to Chelsea and one clearly they know all about him. I mean, Vlahovic isn’t a secret to anyone and he’s only 25.”

Chelsea do not need Vlahovic

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea decides to take up the opportunity to sign the player. They have already signed players like Liam Delap and Joao Pedro at the start of the season. It seems unlikely that they will sign three strikers in one season.

They should look to invest in the other areas of their squad. They need a quality wide player who can help create opportunities and find the back of the net as well.

Meanwhile, Vlahovic has been offered to Tottenham as well. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. He is a quality player who has shown his ability in Italy. He will look to make his mark in England as well. It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.

The player is at the peak of his career, and he will look to join a competitive outfit where he can fight for trophies.

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.

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.”

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

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

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.

“The feeling I have is…”: Mikel Arteta opens up on the future of Arsenal attacker

By:Saikat

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.

Report: Liverpool prepared to pay over £100 million for “the next big thing”

✇CaughtOffside

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.

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.

Report: Experienced ace could leave West Ham in January, former club keen

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

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.

Insider claims “there is a possibility” Crystal Palace star could leave along with Guehi

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

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.

Report: Tottenham have advantage in the race to sign £20m-rated star in January

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

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.

Report: Liverpool & Chelsea “in the mix” to sign 27-year-old star who is “looking the part”

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

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.

Report: Tottenham accelerating move for £88m-rated Arsenal target with 11 goals this season

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

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.

Man United considering £44m January offer for priority target who is the ‘full package’

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

Manchester United are interested in signing the Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham. 

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.

Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in signing the Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae. 

The 28-year-old has done quite well for the German club, and he helped them with the league title last season. He could prove to be a useful acquisition for both Premier League clubs. As per Fichajes, Tottenham are keen on Min-jae as well.

Chelsea and Liverpool need Kim Min-jae

Chelsea have had multiple injury problems at the back this season, and they need depth in that area of the pitch. The 28-year-old South Korean could prove to be a useful acquisition. He has shown his ability in Italy and Germany. He knows what it takes to play for big clubs, and he could make an instant impact at Chelsea. He has the physicality and technical attributes for Premier League football as well.

On the other hand, Liverpool are keen on the player as well. They need to replace Ibrahima Konate, who will be a free agent at the end of the season. It remains to be seen whether they want 28 year 28-year-old Bundesliga star as his replacement.

Will Bayern sell Min-jae?

The German club paid around €50 million to sign the defender. It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to sell him for a reasonable amount of money. He has been an important player for them, and Joshua Kimmich has described him as “outstanding” in the past.

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.

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.

Gusto could help Juventus

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.

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.

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

✇CaughtOffside
By:Saikat

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

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.
