TRENDING RUMORS

Manchester United are one of several clubs considering a move for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, the Daily Mail reports. The Red Devils are long-time admirers of Branthwaite, having had a bid for the player turned down in the summer. However, with Everton currently unable to offer the 22-year-old a new deal, they could be tempted into letting him go sooner than they had hoped. Branthwaite’s current contract expires in 2027, meaning his value will likely decrease after next summer if a new contract isn’t signed.

Liverpool are set to scour the market for a new central midfielder in the January transfer window, reports Football Insider. Money is set to be made available to head coach Arne Slot after the club missed out on signing Real Sociedad‘s Martín Zubimendi in the summer. Ryan Gravenberch has made the No.6 position his own this season, but Liverpool are said to be keen on providing some competition for the young Dutchman.

West Ham United are fearful their technical director Tim Steidten could choose to join Arsenal as Edu Gaspar’s replacement as sporting director, reports the Daily Telegraph. The German joined West Ham from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2023 but has been under pressure of late due to his transfer track record. It’s currently unclear whether Steidten is in the running for the Arsenal job following the news that Edu left his current role on Monday.

Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman is “one to watch” for the winter transfer window, reports Florian Plettenberg. The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with several Premier League sides this season following a breakthrough 2023-24 season. Lookman could be available for as little as €25 million to €30 million in January, as the player looks to “take the next step” in his career.

– West Ham United are set to join the race to sign Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson, reports Ekrem Konur. The Denmark international, who has 15 caps to his name, is also wanted by Sevilla, Fiorentina and Lille. The 26-year-old has largely been used from the bench this season, prompting suggestions that he might request a move away from the Turkish club.
