Rolando Aarons swoop confirmed
Huddersfield Town chairman Phil Hodgkinson has confirmed that Newcastle United's Rolando Aarons remains his top transfer target and the club will make a move in the January transfer window.
The Terriers were unable to thrash out a deal to sign Aarons before the end of the domestic transfer window last Friday but are not giving up.
Speaking to Yorkshire Live, Hodgkinson said: "Unfortunately we couldn’t get it done and that’s life and it happens, but we still are confident that he’s the right player, so rather than bringing someone in at the last minute or bringing in someone else, he’s our top target.
"He remains so, and what we’d rather do is get through the next 10 weeks to January and get it done then rather than bring in somebody that maybe doesn’t tick all the boxes Rolando did."
Liverpool given Mbappe boost
Liverpool could have the opportunity to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain next year as he is not keen on extending his contract in the French capital , Le Parisien reports.
The 21-year-old is contracted to the Champions League finalists until 2022 and, if he does not extend his deal, could be sold next summer in order to recoup a fee for his services.
That would open the door for Liverpool to make a move to sign the France World Cup winner but Real Madrid are also heavily touted for his services, having eyed his signature back during his Monaco days.
Tottenham eye new Son deal
Tottenham are ready to hand Son Heung-Min a new deal to reward him for his remarkable run of form that will see a significant rise in wages, The Mail reports.
The South Korea international currently earns a reported £150k-a-week in north London but can expect to see a rise following his tremendous start to the season, where he has scored eight goals in seven games this term.
A new deal for the 28-year-old was put on the backburner during the busy summer transfer window, where a plethora of new arrivals were secured, but Son’s new deal is now a priority for the club.
Man United make £20m Jones demand
Manchester United will demand a fee of £20m for Phil Jones in January as the defender is pushing for an exit from Old Trafford, the Sun reports.
The ex-England international is not a part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans, having been left out of the squads in both the Champions League and Premier League registrations.
28-year-old Jones made just two Premier League appearances last season and could now leave when the transfer window reopens in the New Year - but United are demanding a significant sum for his services.
