TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United are keen on bringing Everton midfielder James Garner back to the club next month, the Daily Mail reports. United’s proposed plans to sign a midfielder are expected to accelerate if either Bruno Fernandes or Kobbie Mainoo leave the club in January. While Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson remains United coach Ruben Amorim’s top midfield target, Garner may prove to be a more realistic transfer in the short term. The 24-year-old started his professional career at Old Trafford, where he made just two Premier League appearances. However, he has established himself as a first-team regular at Everton since joining them for £9 million in 2022. With just six months remaining on his contract, Garner could be available for a low transfer fee in the upcoming window.
– Chelsea are monitoring highly-rated Rennes centre-back Jérémy Jacquet, according to The Athletic. The 20-year-old is one of the most sought-after young defenders in European football, having been linked with a host of major clubs in recent months. The Blues are keeping an eye on another Ligue 1 standout in Saint-Etienne forward Djylian N’Guessan, who has been prolific for France at youth level.
– Juventus have shortlisted Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali in their search for a new playmaker, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Italy international remains a top target for Juve, who are expected to be active next month. Tonali joined Newcastle from AC Milan in 2023, and has another two-and-a-half years left on his contract at the club. Juventus, meanwhile, are also expected to be in the market for a new goalkeeper and a winger in January.
– Wolverhampton Wanderers are considering a winter swoop for MLS goal-machine Sam Surridge, according to talkSPORT. The Nashville striker scored 31 goals in 40 matches last season, catching the eye of Wolves scouts in the process. The West Midlands club are in desperate need of goals, as first-choice forward Jørgen Strand Larsen has scored just once in his last 15 Premier League matches. Surridge’s Nashville deal is set to expire at the end of next year.
– Several Premier League and Championship clubs have enquired to Liverpool over the possibility of signing Trey Nyoni on loan, TEAMtalk reports. While the Reds are undecided whether they want to let him leave the club next month, interest from elsewhere in the promising 18-year-old continues to increase. Ideally, Liverpool would like to find the “perfect move” for Nyoni, but concerns over squad depth could see him stay at Anfield until the end of the season.

Arne Slot has said the “last thing” Liverpool need this season is another injury after midfielder Wataru Endo was stretchered off against Sunderland.
Endo — who was already having to fill in for injured players at right-back in midweek — is now expected to be sidelined for “a long time” with a foot problem. His injury is another blow for Slot’s side, which is now extremely stretched ahead of this weekend’s FA Cup fourth round clash against Brighton & Hove Albion.
“The load management is important because the last thing we could use right now is another injury,” Slot said.
“That is always the difficult balance for the manager, including his medical staff, what is the best decision to make every single time. It is also true that a player could get injured if he has to play three games in seven days. But it also happened many times that a player could play three games in seven days.
“So that’s the challenge we are having, but the most important thing is we have to train today, see how the players are doing, listen to how they feel and then make the best possible decision.”
Liverpool beat League One side Barnsley to reach the fourth round of the FA Cup and Slot acknowledged his team need to ensure the small margins work in their favour if they want to progress to the next round of the competition.

“Margins have been so small for us this season,” he said. “Every single time the other team has a bit of a sniff in the game, all of a sudden they score. [Whereas] we need to put so much in it before we are able to score.
“I didn’t see that much difference in the last 20 minutes [of Wednesday’s 1-0 win at Sunderland] as I saw against City [in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat]. The difference was that the first time they arrived after us scoring it was a goal. Before that we were challenging them in their box to score the second. So the margins are really small.”

TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester City remain determined to sign striker Igor Thiago despite the forward’s recent decision to sign a new contract at Brentford, according to TeamTalk. Chelsea and Bayern Munich are also thought to be monitoring Thiago’s development during a remarkable breakout season that has seen him score 18 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions. The 24-year-old, who joined Brentford in 2024 from Club Brugge, is under contract in West London until June 2031.
– Manchester United will attempt to secure a permanent exit for goalkeeper André Onana this summer, The Sun reports. The Cameroon goalkeeper is on loan at Trabzonspor, where he has played 17 times to date in the league, registering four clean sheets. However, it remains to be seen whether the Turkish side would be interested in signing him permanently at the end of his loan spell.
– Liverpool are among the sides interested in signing RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, Christian Falk has revealed. RBL are expected to demand a transfer fee of around €100 million this summer, an amount which fellow German club Bayern Munich are unwilling to pay. As such, a move to the Premier League could become a concrete possibility, with Manchester United and Manchester City also tracking his development. Diomande, 19, is under contract at Leipzig until 2030.
– Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have all been informed that Real Madrid forward Endrick will not be available this summer, TeamTalk reports.The Brazil international is on loan at French side Lyon, but is expected to return to the Spanish capital at the end of the season.
– Barcelona are keen to try and lower Manchester United‘s valuation of Marcus Rashford, according to the Express. The forward, who is on loan at the Catalan giants from United, has impressed in Spain this season, with the club eager to make his move permanent in the summer. However, that would involve triggering a £26 million option in Rashford’s contract, a fee the Barça hierarchy feels is too high. Rashford, 28, is said to be “determined to stay” at the club after registering 12 goal involvements in 21 La Liga games this season.
