The most recent Premier League rumour mill tales as the January transfer window approaches.
The international break awaits after another exciting weekend of Premier League play, with Tottenham Hotspur leading the table. Their close victory over Luton Town propels them to the top of the table as they maintain their unbeaten record this season.
Chelsea, Manchester United, and Everton all won comfortably, while Arsenal edged Manchester City with a critical and resilient performance.
Tottenham are soaring high in the Premier League right now, and will enter the international break ahead of reigning champions Manchester City on goal difference. Despite losing Harry Kane, Spurs have been scoring goals and benefiting from summer additions like as James Maddison, who has struck the ground running.
Tottenham have begun to look ahead to January after a successful summer, and according to Football Insider, they are interested in Al-Ittihad’s Jota, who previously played under Ange Postecoglou at Celtic. Jota had 13 goals and 14 assists in his first season with the Hoops, receiving the nickname ‘unbelievable’ from the now Spurs manager.
The winger’s stint in Saudi Arabia is not going as planned, and he may be on his way out despite only joining from Celtic in the summer. He could be one of the most intriguing attackers on the market right now.
Concerns about the departure of Manchester United’s £73 million star have grown.
As the January transfer window approaches, Manchester United continues to review their list of outgoings. The prominent name circulating is Harry Maguire, but Jadon Sancho’s future is also clouded. According to ESPN, there is growing anxiety within the Old Trafford camp that the winger is on his way out.
Sancho’s fight with Erik ten Hag has caused him to practice separately from the rest of the squad, and the manager is thought to be waiting for an apology from the £73 million signing. However, the paper suggests that even if an apology were to be issued now, it would not have the same impact as was first anticipated. Sancho hasn’t played for Manchester United since August, and things aren’t looking good.
