Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in the Premier League on Wednesday, November 11.
Wednesday morning's Premier League transfer talk news roundup:
Manchester United 'to consider Jack Grealish move if Paul Pogba leaves'

Manchester United will reportedly reignite their interest in Aston Villa's Jack Grealish if Paul Pogba heads for the Old Trafford exit door.
Pogba has struggled to nail down a regular spot in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's starting lineup recently, with France manager Didier Deschamps claiming that the midfielder "cannot be happy" with his situation at United.
The World Cup-winning Frenchman has started to be linked with moves away from Manchester again, with Real Madrid believed to be ready to pursue Pogba's signature in 2021.
As a result, the Manchester Evening News speculates that United chiefs could turn to Grealish as a marquee signing next summer if Pogba does indeed leave, with the Villa captain recently extending his deal with Dean Smith's side until 2025 despite interest from the Red Devils.
However, Villa were understood to be holding out for a fee of £80m for their most prized asset during the most recent transfer window, and their stance is unlikely to change given Grealish's performances so far this season.
The 25-year-old has already bagged four goals and five assists for Smith's side in the 2020-21 Premier League campaign, with Grealish setting up Ollie Watkins for his second and Villa's third against Arsenal at the weekend.
Manchester United 'in talks over Cristiano Ronaldo return'

Manchester United have reportedly contacted Cristiano Ronaldo with the view to re-signing the Portugal international during next summer's transfer window.
The 35-year-old's existing deal with Juventus is due to run until June 2022, but the Italian champions are allegedly keen to offload the attacker next summer to reduce the wage bill.
Paris Saint-Germain have been strongly linked with the forward, but according to FOX Sports journalist Christian Martin, United are in talks with the Portuguese over a return, and Juve would be prepared to negotiate with the 20-time English champions.
"Our sources in Manchester and Porto confirm that Manchester United tempted Cristiano Ronaldo with a return to the club for next season. The Portuguese star is considering it. Juventus will negotiate a deal if Ronaldo asks for it," Martin posted on Twitter.
Ronaldo turned out for United between 2003 and 2009, scoring 118 goals in 292 appearances, winning three Premier League titles, one FA Cup and one Champions League in the process.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has scored 71 times in 94 appearances for Juve since arriving from Real Madrid, including six goals in five outings in all competitions this term.
