Deadline day key events
Pogba to Man City?! Why shock transfer could - or couldn't - happen
Manchester City are weighing up a shock swoop for free agent Paul Pogba, but the midfielder's Manchester United past is threatening to jeopardise a move, according to a report.
The 31-year-old is currently on the lookout for his next club following the termination of his contract with Juventus, whom he severed ties with following a high-profile doping scandal.
Pogba was found to have abnormal levels of testosterone in two separate samples at the start of the 2023-24 season, and he was initially given a four-year suspension, which could have spelled the end of his career.
However, the France World Cup winner appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, who concluded that the supplement responsible for the elevated testosterone levels did not have a major impact on male athletes, and his ban was reduced to 18 months.
Get them out! Man City duo 'in serious danger of being offloaded' in 2025
Manchester City are reportedly prepared to offload two senior players during the next summer transfer window.
The Citizens are enduring a difficult run of results as the harsh winter months continue, suffering defeat at the home of Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Following a goalless first period, strikes from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie got the job done for the hosts, leaving Man City languishing in 22nd place in the 36-team rankings.
Focusing on domestic matters, Pep Guardiola's side are currently occupying fifth place in the Premier League standings, nine points behind pacesetters Liverpool.
Family friction? Arsenal star's twin with 'no weaknesses' targeted by PL rivals
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to go head-to-head for Feyenoord midfielder Quinten Timber, the twin brother of Arsenal's Jurrien Timber.
The 23-year-old dons the captain's armband for the Rotterdam giants, including at the Etihad when his side pulled off a magnificent comeback in a 3-3 Champions League draw with Manchester City last month.
Quinten Timber was first on the Feyenoord books from 2008 to 2014 before leaving for Ajax, where he worked his way up the ranks alongside Jurrien Timber before being allowed to join FC Utrecht on a free transfer in 2021.
After just one year, the midfielder earned a marquee move to Arne Slot's Feyenoord, who paid just €7.4m (£6.2m) to bring him back to Rotterdam and reaped the rewards straight away.
Man United, Spurs to battle for Botafogo goalkeeper in January?
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are among several European clubs considering a move for Botafogo goalkeeper John Victor in January, according to a report.
The 28-year-old shot-stopper has caught the attention of numerous top European clubs after his standout performances for Botafogo this season, playing a crucial role in their historic double triumph in their domestic league and the Copa Libertadores.
The Red Devils are believed to be looking to bring in a goalkeeper to provide competition for Andre Onana and as cover for Altay Bayindir, who has been rumoured to be looking for a move away from Old Trafford.
Spurs, meanwhile, are considering a move for goalkeeping reinforcements following the long-term injury to their first-choice keeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Arsenal 'readying January move' for £65m Serie A striker
Arsenal are reportedly looking to reinforce their attack during the January transfer window and have set their sights on Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.
Despite Mikel Arteta's consistent praise for Kai Havertz's role in leading Arsenal's attack, a large faction of Gunners' fans still feel the club need an out-and-out number nine.
The Germany international made an impressive start to the season, scoring four goals in his first seven league games, but has only added one more to that tally in his last seven matches.
Gabriel Jesus, meanwhile, has yet to open his league account after 12 appearances, with the Brazilan's only goal this term coming in the EFL Cup at the end of October.
Decision made? Werner's future at Tottenham 'confirmed' after Postecoglou criticism
Tottenham Hotspur will reportedly not be signing Timo Werner on a permanent deal during next summer's transfer window.
The Germany international scored twice in 14 appearances for Spurs in the second half of the 2023-24 campaign after making the move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on loan from RB Leipzig.
Werner returned to Tottenham on a season-long loan over the summer, with the North London club having the option to sign him on a permanent basis next summer for a fee in the region of £8.5m.
However, according to GIVEMESPORT, the Germany international has 'failed to win over influential figures' at the club, and he will therefore not be making a permanent return to the Premier League with Tottenham.
Man United could have 'clear run at defender' after Real Madrid 'decision'
Real Madrid have reportedly decided against a move for AC Milan's Theo Hernandez next summer, potentially opening the door for Manchester United to have a clear run at the France international.
Man United have allegedly secured a deal for Diego Leon, with the 17-year-old set to move to Old Trafford from Cerro Porteno next summer, but the Red Devils also want to bring in a senior left-back.
Alphonso Davies is believed to be their 'dream target', with the Canada international's contract at Bayern Munich due to expire next summer, but a move for the 24-year-old will be incredibly difficult if the English giants fail to qualify for next season's Champions League.
Girona's Miguel Gutierrez is also said to be an option, but Real Madrid are in pole position to re-sign the Spaniard.
Real Madrid 'eyeing £50m centre-back' to solve defensive problems
Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck next summer.
The 25-year-old made the move to Dortmund from Freiburg in 2022, and he has represented his current side on 107 occasions in all competitions, contributing six goals and 14 assists in the process.
This season, Schlotterbeck has featured on 20 occasions for BVB, providing four assists, but he is facing a spell on the sidelines with the ankle injury that he picked up against Barcelona in the Champions League last week.
The Germany international has a contract with Dortmund until June 2027, but there is currently speculation surrounding his future, with a number of clubs believed to be admirers of the defender.
Chelsea forward Jackson opens up on failed Villa transfer
Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson has revealed that he was close to signing for Aston Villa during the 2023 January transfer window.
The Senegal international has established himself as one of the best strikers in the Premier League over the past 18 months.
A total of 22 goals - none of which have been netted from the penalty spot - and eight assists have come from 49 appearances in the competition for an improved Blues outfit.
However, Jackson could have taken a different career path had a hamstring injury at the beginning of 2023 not stopped him from moving to a different top-flight club.
Highly-rated youngster's arrival 'could end' Zirkzee's Man United career
Manchester United have reportedly reignited their interest in Brighton & Hove Albion forward Evan Ferguson, with the Red Devils believed to be lining up a move for the Republic of Ireland international.
Ferguson enjoyed an impressive 2022-23 campaign for Brighton, scoring 10 goals in 25 appearances in all competitions, before managing another six Premier League goals last term, and he is believed to be on the radar of a number of major clubs.
The 20-year-old has found it difficult this term, only managing one goal in 12 appearances, finding the back of the net against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League at the end of October.
Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Fulham are among the clubs to be linked with Ferguson ahead of the January transfer window, but Brighton's CEO recently ruled out a mid-season departure for the youngster.
Does Darwin Nunez have a future at Anfield, or is it the beginning of the end?
Darwin Nunez is likely to leave Liverpool in the summer transfer window, according to Reds transfer expert David Lynch.
Arne Slot has had few issues to contend with so far this season given his team are first in the Premier League and have all but qualified for the Champions League's round of 16 following his team's 1-0 victory against Girona on Tuesday.
However, Nunez was singled out for criticism by pundits and fans, and even the Uruguayan's most ardent backers struggled to defend his performance against the Spanish side.
The striker has scored just two goals in 11 Premier League matches this season, and Lynch believes that there is almost no chance of him staying at Anfield beyond this campaign, telling Sports Mole: "It's essentially settled now. I just don't think there's a debate there around Nunez.
