Deadline day key events
Tottenham 'keeping tabs' on promising Lens midfielder
Tottenham Hotspur have allegedly identified Lens midfielder Andy Diouf as a potential January transfer target.
Ange Postecoglou's side have been inconsistent for a number of months during 2024-25, combining eye-catching victories with defeats against some of the smaller teams in the Premier League.
Spurs ended a run of three games without success in the top flight by thrashing Southampton by a 5-0 scoreline on Sunday evening, ensuring that they ended the evening in 10th position in the table.
Nevertheless, it remains plausible that Postecoglou could attempt to strengthen in several areas of the pitch next month.
Man United centre-back confirms "positive" contract talks
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has suggested that there have been "positive" developments with regards to his contractual situation.
The England international has spent a number of seasons in and out of the starting lineup at Old Trafford, yet still making 219 appearances in all competitions.
At a time when Erik ten Hag was in charge, it appeared more likely than not that the 31-year-old would leave on a free transfer at the end of his contract in the summer.
United are known to be keen to reduce their outgoings and removing Maguire's wages may have been perceived as an effective way of achieving that.
Four-way battle? Man United 'second scouts' to watch 'Greece's next big talent'
Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Olympiacos youngster Charalampos Kostoulas in the near future.
The 17-year-old has impressed on the domestic and continental scene for the Greek giants during the opening months of the 2024-25 season.
At the same time, Man United are enduring a transitional period under the stewardship of Ruben Amorim, who took the reins from Erik ten Hag last month at the Theatre of Dreams.
The Portuguese boss enjoyed the biggest success of his tenure to date on Sunday afternoon, when the Red Devils managed a comeback victory over Manchester City.
Back to base: Chelsea man to be offered escape route by former club?
Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has reportedly attracted interest from former club Leicester City.
It has been reported that the Blues are willing to listen to loan offers for a number of fringe players, including the 26-year-old, ahead of the January window.
Dewsbury-Hall made the switch from the King Power Stadium to Stamford Bridge for £30m in the summer, following an exceptional campaign for Leicester in the division below.
The Foxes cantered to the Championship crown at the first time of asking under Enzo Maresca, with the midfielder playing a major role in the achievement.
Major blow: Man United facing elite German competition for PSG attacker?
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to face competition for the services for Paris Saint-Germain attacker Randal Kolo Muani.
The 26-year-old has struggled to make an impact for the French champions during the 2024-25 term to date, scoring just twice across 10 Ligue 1 appearances.
Man United are entering a transitional period under Ruben Amorim and could be looking to offload long-serving academy star Marcus Rashford in the New Year.
Such a major move would open up a spot in the Red Devils' first-team squad, one which Kolo Muani could fill to help United fulfill their goals.
Premier League giants offer Barcelona financial help as 'triple transfer enquiry' made
All of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have reportedly made it clear that they are interested in signing Barcelona wing wizard Raphinha during the January transfer window.
The Brazilian was unable to make a difference in Sunday's shock 1-0 La Liga loss to Leganes, but he has been one of Europe's best-performing attackers under Hansi Flick in the 2024-25 season.
Raphinha did not immediately set the world alight at Camp Nou following his arrival from Leeds United in 2022, but he has been directly involved in 27 goals in 23 games this season, 17 of his own and 10 assists.
The 28-year-old has excelled on both wings and in a central area for Barcelona this term, working in tandem with Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo in the Blaugrana's fearsome attacking quartet.
