Transfers

Manchester United are believed to be closing in on the signing of 16-year-old Derby County goalkeeper Charlie Hardy, even after bringing in Senne Lammens this summer.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has urged Bukayo Saka to follow William Saliba's example by agreeing terms over a new contract in north London. The French defender has agreed to extend his stay at the club and, with Saka's contract expiring in 2027, Arteta wants to see the winger commit too.

Tottenham have rejected an expression of interest in a takeover from a United States consortium, headed up by Brooklyn Earick, but the former DJ has posted a cryptic Instagram update hinting at a countdown to becoming owner of the north London club. Reports suggest the bid for the club is worth £4.5 billion ($6bn).

Daniel Levy discovered his Tottenham Hotspur sacking on the day it was announced, per a new report from The Athletic. The long-serving powerbroker in north London was shockingly removed from his position on September 4, and the new report suggests he had no idea he was about to be axed from a position he had held since 2001.

West Ham have been told they should consider Frank Lampard as Graham Potter's replacement despite his poor relations with the club and its fans. The Hammers find themselves in crisis following a dismal start to the Premier League season. They have lost four of their opening five games, with last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace piling more pressure on the under-fire manager.

Benfica's new boss Jose Mourinho has shut down speculation linking Karim Benzema with a sensational return to Europe. While rumours swirled over a January reunion, Mourinho insisted the 37-year-old striker is happy at Al-Ittihad, thriving financially, and unlikely to leave Saudi Arabia, despite his illustrious Real Madrid past and recent form.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has blasted Chelsea’s transfer policy, claiming that the Blues are "obsessed with collecting wingers" and are "more interested in transfers than trophies".

Liverpool starlet Rio Ngumoha has received a new contract that has quadrupled his wages after his breakthrough under Arne Slot, a new report claims. The forward, who scored a vital winner against Newcastle earlier this season, has seen a massive increase on his initial wages of £14,400-per-year.

Endrick has shut down Real Madrid’s idea of a loan move, insisting on fighting for his place at the Santiago Bernabeu.

William Osula’s deadline day move to Eintracht Frankfurt collapsed at the last moment after Newcastle United's Saudi owners intervened when the Bundesliga side walked back on a deal that was virtually agreed.

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson looks set to extend his stay in Germany after Bayern Munich reportedly reached an informal agreement with the Senegal international over a permanent deal. Jackson only joined on loan in the summer following Chelsea’s busy attacking rebuild, but strong early impressions have convinced the Bundesliga champions to plan beyond this season.

Manchester City are reportedly considering a second raid on Paris Saint-Germain for another Champions League winner.

It is now being claimed that Warren Zaire-Emery is a “dream target” for Pep Guardiola.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is reportedly interested in signing Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski.

However, president Joan Laporta is reportedly not enthusiastic about the idea of bringing Guirassy in.

Lyon are reportedly considering plotting a bid to sign Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi in an attempt to bolster their forwardline. Les Gones are struggling in attack following the late departure of Georges Mikautadze to Villarreal. Martin Satriano is not exactly someone Lyon are expecting big things from, which has prompted the Ligue 1 outfit to reconsider their options in attack.

Manchester United had reportedly "put €30 million (£26m/$35m) on the table" to sign Brazilian goalkeeper Kaua Santos in the summer before landing Belgian star Senne Lammens.

The Bundesliga side made it crystal clear they had no intention of losing their prized shot-stopper and Santos himself opted to stay put.

Harry Kane has been informed of the “obvious choice” he should make in the summer of 2026 if exit doors do swing open at Bayern Munich.

Juventus star Gleison Bremer is reportedly being monitored by both Liverpool and Manchester United ahead of the January window with the pair aware of a €55 million (£48m/$65m) release clause. While Juventus are keen to keep hold of Bremer, Premier League sides could potentially secure his signature by offering between €70-80 million (£61m/$82m-£70m/94m), according to Italian outlet Tutto Juve. The race is heating up as Europe’s elite monitor one of Serie A’s standout defenders.

Arsenal could reportedly launch a mega Kenan Yildiz swoop as the Gunners have been linked with a €60 million (£52m/$70m) swap deal to sign the Juventus ace.

With two goals and four assists in just five appearances, Yildiz has rocketed to the top of Juve’s list of untouchables.

Bayern Munich reportedly "hope" that Tottenham will complete a permanent deal for Joao Palhinha, who does not feature in Vincent Kompany's plans. The Portuguese midfielder arrived in Germany from Fulham with high hopes, but his time under the Belgian manager has been nothing short of a disaster. Out of favour and out of his Kompany's plans, Bayern now want rid, and Spurs could be the perfect escape route.

Manchester United are once again dipping into the South American talent pool, this time with the capture of Colombian prodigy Cristian Orozco. Reports in Colombia suggest the Red Devils have thrashed out a deal with Fortaleza CEIF, the teenager’s current side, as Ruben Amorim continues a long-term rebuild at Old Trafford.

Steven Gerrard could be "tempted" to return to Scottish giants Rangers as the Liverpool legend contemplates a return to management.

Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly weighing up a dramatic exit from Manchester United in a desperate bid to keep his World Cup ambitions alive.

River Plate wonderkid Ian Subiabre is reportedly on Chelsea's radar as they consider signing another South American wonderkid.

Now, they could repeat the trick, this time with the 18-year-old Argentine.

Barcelona have reportedly made a decision on Marcus Rashford’s future amid talk of a stand off with Manchester United over a transfer fee.

At 27, he looks rejuvenated, with his performances turning heads in Catalonia and drawing warm praise from fans.

Marc Guehi is reportedly 'likely' to leave Crystal Palace in January amid transfer interest from Liverpool and Real Madrid. The defender was on the cusp of sealing an Anfield move on transfer deadline day, only for Palace to pull out of the deal at the eleventh hour. Madrid are hoping to sign him on a free next summer but the Eagles may try and get a fee for him in early 2026.

Julian Alvarez’s frustrations at Atletico Madrid have sparked fresh transfer speculation, with his former coach tipping him for a move to Barcelona.
