Transfer news - LIVE!
With the January transfer window now just days away, rumours are naturally hotting up.
While this time of year is always cited as a difficult time in which to buy players and strengthen squads, football is in uncharted territory when it comes to rising Covid cases, so it’s hard to gauge how busy teams throughout the footballing pyramid will be.
Indeed, with the Africa Cup of Nations going ahead as normal too, perhaps teams affected by their players going away to Cameroon could be tempted into some short-term loans in order to pad out the options in their squad.
In a Premier League context, there’s also the Newcastle United to consider.
Enduring a miserable campaign thus far, it will be fascinating to see how their new owners approach the first transfer window of their regime. Money spent on Tyneside could certainly filter throughout the Premier League and beyond, making for an interesting month.
On the European front, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe continue to be linked with major moves as the two biggest stars of the next generation seemingly come towards the end of their stays at Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain respectively.
