TRENDING RUMORS
– Liverpool are in “pole position” to land Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, reports The i Paper. While Manchester United and Manchester City have also contacted the player’s representatives, the 21-year-old instead is favouring a move to Merseyside. Kerkez, who has already been likened to Andrew Robertson, isn’t expected to be on the move this month. But the report reveals that an offer in the region of £50 million this summer could bring Bournemouth to the negotiation table.
– Brighton & Hove Albion have expressed interest in signing Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo, the Daily Mail reports. The 27-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge last summer on a free transfer from Fulham, so far playing 10 times for the club in the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether the Chelsea hierarchy will sanction Adarabioyo’s exit this month, as their pursuit of Crystal Palace‘s Marc Guéhi is currently in the balance.
– Arsenal will decide this week whether they’ll make a concrete proposal for Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović, TeamTalk reports. The Gunners are still “gathering information” on the Serbia international, who has scored seven goals in 16 Serie A games this season despite not being fancied by manager Thiago Motta. As things stand, Arsenal are the only club with strong interest in the 24-year-old, as he remains their No. 1 attacking target for the winter transfer window.
– TSG Hoffenheim midfielder Tom Bischof has agreed to join Bayern Munich on a free transfer, Florian Plettenberg has reported. A medical is set to take place next week for the talented 19-year-old, who has played 14 times in the Bundesliga this season. Contrary to some reports, Bischof won’t be departing Bayern on loan once he officially joins the club in July. Plettenberg adds that Bayern manager Vincent Kompany and sporting director Max Eberl were crucial when it came to persuading the young German.
– Talks are advancing between Atlanta United and Newcastle United over the permanent transfer of Miguel Almirón, reports David Ornstein. The 30-year-old Paraguay midfielder is the subject of an £11m bid from his former club, which the Magpies are said to be considering. A conclusion is expected in the coming days, as both clubs work behind the scenes to reach a full agreement.
