Premier League rumours: Manchester United handed Paul Pogba boost and Spurs defender eyes loan

Premier League clubs have until Friday to make any final additions to their squad.

Whilst the overseas transfer deadline passed last week, clubs are still able to trade with EFL sides until 5pm on Friday.

Due to the short turnaround between transfer windows, other clubs are already plotting for the January market.

With that in mind, here are the latest Premier League transfer rumours.

Manchester United players back Pogba

The MEN report that Paul Pogba has been backed by Manchester United’s dressing room despite admitting he wants to play for Real Madrid.

Beren Cross' Leeds United transfer deadline day reaction

After previously stating his desire to move to the Bernabeu in March 2019, the French midfielder has once again expressed his desire to join Real Madrid.

Whilst Pogba’s teammates previously felt it was best he be allowed to leave United due to his desire to play elsewhere, the midfielder’s form after the coronavirus suspension has reportedly left those in the dressing room feeling that the 27-year-old should now stay at Old Trafford.

Moise Kean claim

Reports in France claim PSG do have a purchase option in their loan deal for Everton’s Moise Kean.

After a disappointing first season at Everton, Kean joined the French champions on a season-long loan.

French magazine France Football state that PSG have negotiated an option to buy Kean for €20m - €10m less than the Toffees paid for the young Italian in 2019.

Danny Rose offer

Football Insider claim that Danny Rose could be in line for a move to the Championship.

The former Leeds United youth player is out of favour under Jose Mourinho at Tottenham Hotspur and was linked with moves abroad this summer.

Yet nothing came to fruition and his only option now is a move to the Championship.

Middlesbrough are said to be close to making an ambitious loan bid for the 30-year-old, who may well be open to dropping down a division in order to gain first-team football.

Rodon deal questioned

Darren Bent has questioned why Tottenham Hotspur are trying to sign Joe Rodon from Swansea City.

Appearing on talkSPORT, the former Spurs striker laughed when he heard that his old club’s opening offer for the centre-back was £11m less than Swansea’s £18m asking price.

Bent went on to argue that Spurs are already healthily positioned when it comes to defenders.

“I thought you were going to say something like he offered £5 less,” Bent laughed.

“But listen, they seem really keen on getting him, don’t they? Rodon in the door. You look at the number of centre-backs they have.

"I know they lost Vertonghen. But they have Toby Alderweireld, Sanchez, Eric Dier plays back there and Tanganga can play there.

“I mean, how many centre-backs are they looking for?”
