Latest done deal: Liverpool announce Gakpo, Chelsea announce Fofana, Fernandez, Santos as Real Madrid to seal deal
Al Have Him
Real Madrid are weighing up a move for Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, according to reports.
Davies has been at Bayern for the past three years and is regarded as among Europe’s best full-backs.
But Madrid are interest in a move, according to AS, but could wait until 2024 to try and land the 22-year-old.
The first-choice left-back at the Bernabeu for the past few years has been Ferland Mendy.
Pick of the Bunch
Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham are all reportedly circling around England no.1 Jordan Pickford.
The goalkeeper has yet to sign his new five-year deal despite terms being on the table since before the World Cup, according to the Mail.
The goalie, who signed for Everton in 2017, only has 18 months left on his current deal.
It is not clear why new terms have not yet been agreed, but it has left some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs watching the situation closely.
Going Going Jon
Jonjo Shelvey’s Newcastle future is in doubt after the star was injured – and the club eye replacements.
The 30-year-old will be sidelined until February with a calf strain.
He has to play two more matches to trigger a one-year contract extension at St James’ Park, according to the Mail.
Meanwhile Newcastle have been linked to high-profile replacements such as Chelsea’s Jorginho and Leicester’s Youri Tielemans. Both of their contracts expire at the end of the season.
Gakpo in Liverpool
According to reports, Cody Gakpo has landed in Merseyside ahead of his move to Liverpool being sealed.
The player’s transfer is all but finalised and he has arrived to do his medical.
Gakpo’s £44million deal will see him handed a contract until the summer of 2028.
BREAKING: Chelsea sign Fofana
Chelsea have confirmed the signing of striker David Datro Fofana from Molde.
The deal is worth £10.5million.
The 20-year-old will join the club on January 1.
It’s good news for the Blues as they have been eager to strengthen their forward line, particularly after the devastating, season-ending injury suffered by Armando Broja.
Fofana who represents the Ivory Coast, has netted four goals in the Conference League this season after playing in 10 games.
Domestically, in Norway, he managed 17 in 29 matches last season.
Foxes aim to sell FOUR players
Leicester are hoping to get rid of four players in the approaching transfer window.
The club’s budget is tight and by selling they hope to raise funds.
Caglar Soyuncu has featured just once this season and amid interest from Atletico Madrid, he could be sold.
Ayoze Perez and Dennis Praet could also depart alongside Jannik Vestegaard.
Leicester have become increasingly concerned about breaking financial fair play rules in recent years after spending heavily in previous windows.
This comes despite pocketing £70million from Chelsea for Wesley Fofana.
The club are hoping to sign players in January after an uneventful summer with a centre-back, left-back and right-sided winger wanted.
