According to local reports, Barcelona is looking to replace their long-term injury victim Gavi by tempting Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso with a move back to Spain in January. Meanwhile, Erling Haaland faces a race against time to prove his fitness for Manchester City’s upcoming Club World Cup campaign.
Former Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has revealed that he has been subjected to a sickening campaign of threats and violence by an agent who claims to be owed money from the deal which took him to Besiktas in September. Elsewhere, England’s potential World Cup base, the luxurious Golfresort Weimarer Land, has caught the attention of the national team, boasting a staff of more than 130 including a robot waiter named Robbie.
Arsenal’s hopes of signing midfield target Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad have improved as it is reported that Barcelona is not interested in bringing him to the Nou Camp. Additionally, former Chelsea player Ruud Gullit has advised Arsenal to consider Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez as a potential signing instead of spending large sums on Brentford’s Ivan Toney.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Erik ten Hag has been warned about the ambitions of Harry Kane, who aims to deliver a Champions League knockout blow. Meanwhile, Fulham is stepping up their interest in Le Havre captain Arouna Sangante, a defender who has been instrumental in the French side’s solid backline. Additionally, several West Ham fans were severely delayed after their boat crashed into Hammersmith Bridge while enroute to their match against Fulham. On a different note, England’s “WAGS” are considering booking a German castle as their base for next summer’s Euro 2024.
The Daily Express reports that Arsenal’s hopes of signing midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad have improved after Barcelona has ruled out their interest in the player. In other news, former Manchester United player Gary Neville believes that despite the club’s tumultuous start to their Premier League campaign, sacking manager Erik ten Hag is not the solution.
In Scotland, Alfredo Morelos’ agent has dismissed rumors about the striker’s return to Rangers in January, stating that a move to Russia is more likely following a disastrous spell with Santos that saw him play only three times due to injury and his new club getting relegated. Former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner believes that Celtic’s board needs to provide significant backing to manager Brendan Rodgers in the January transfer market to avoid a second-half slump.
