Rangers need to be careful with Goldson

Rangers defender Connor Goldson is putting his career at risk by returning from injury early, according to pundit Frank McAvennie.

The Gers defender was absent for around two months after picking up an injury in October and recently returned to action against Aberdeen.

With a lack of depth at the back, teenage defender Leon King stepped up in Goldson’s absence, but Rangers’ league form suffered – and that ultimately cost Giovanni van Bronckhorst his job.

The 30-year-old’s absence was felt, bu

Saka and Martinelli to start against West Ham

Arsenal’s World Cup stars Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will start against West Ham United in the first game after the Premier League break, according to journalist Charles Watts.

The pair both reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup with England and Brazil, with Saka playing an instrumental role, whilst Martinelli made a few appearances off the bench, and they returned to club action in a 0-0 friendly draw against Luton Town behind closed doors.

A big worry for Premier League clubs w

Arteta will be backed in the January window

Journalist Charles Watts believes that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be backed with funds in the January transfer window.

The Gunners currently sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League after a stunning start to the season, although question marks remain over their strength in depth.

Star striker Gabriel Jesus is absent with a significant injury, and the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson and Oleksandr Zinchenko have all missed plenty of games.

Cody Gakpo could join Newcastle

Former Premier League striker Noel Whelan has claimed that Newcastle United could make a move for PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo.

The Dutchman has been in electric form with 13 goals and 17 assists this season and also impressed for the Netherlands at the World Cup.

The 23-year-old, who supposedly has a price tag of €60m (£52m), has been linked with Manchester United, but Whelan believes that Newcastle could throw their hat in the ring.

Man United remain interested in Gakpo

Manchester United are exploring a deal to sign PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The club have been strongly linked with the winger for a while, and the Dutchman has 13 goals and 17 assists this season.

Gakpo, who has been hailed as ‘sensational‘, played a starring role at the World Cup for the Netherlands, which will only have increased his value, but United remain interested in the versatile attacker.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka could leave Man United

Manchester United want to find a solution for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The right-back has made just one appearance this season as he struggled with injury, and is clearly not rated by Erik ten Hag as Diogo Dalot is his first choice.

With a number of clubs interested, United have made it a priority to sort his future out, with either a loan or permanent deal, and the club will then dip into the market to find a replacement for him if he goes in the winter window.

Moshiri may have had Everton investment talks

Financial expert Kieran Maguire has claimed that Everton owner Farhad Moshiri may have held discussions about investment into the club with Qatari businessman Sheikh Dr Khalid bin Thani bin Abdullah Al Thani after an image emerged.

The pair were pictured together in Qatar attending a World Cup match, and Maguire has claimed that this meeting probably went beyond pleasantries, and investment could have been discussed.

Man United De Jong deal unlikely

A Manchester United deal for Frenkie De Jong looks impossible right now, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Dutch midfielder has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for a long time, and United were heavily interested in the summer. However, the 25-year-old is happy at Barcelona and has no intention of leaving.

De Jong is not a guaranteed starter at the club, with youngsters Pedri and Gavi, as well as veteran Sergio Busquets ahead of him in the pecking order, and has been inconsistent at tim

Fabrizio Romano gives Mudryk update

Arsenal will need to act quickly to secure the signature of Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk, with the club in conversations, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Mikel Arteta has prioritised a move for the 21-year-old in January, as he looks to add more firepower to his squad with Gabriel Jesus injured for an extended period.

Conte to hold talks with Djed Spence

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte is to have talks with Djed Spence about his future, according to Dean Jones.

Conte signed the fullback from Middlesbrough in the summer for around £20m, but has not started him in any games this season despite his other right-backs failing to impress, with Emerson Royal receiving heavy criticism for his performances.

The 22-year-old was excellent on loan at Nottingham Forest last season, as he helped them secure promotion back to the Premier League, but

West Ham stadium deal praised

Financial expert Kieran Maguire has praised West Ham’s agreement which sees them rent the London Stadium as a very smart deal.

The club left their iconic ground Upton Park in 2016, and moved to the London Stadium, which was built for the 2012 Olympics.

With a capacity of 66,000, the London Stadium can hold nearly double the number of supporters as the 35,000-seat Upton Park could, and is also used for other major events beyond football.

Instead of building a new ground, West Ham made the shor

Celtic should be excited about Gue-Sung

Celtic fans should be excited about potentially signing Cho Gue-Sung from Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, according to journalist Dean Jones.


The South Korean forward has been linked with a move to Celtic Park, and has scored 21 goals in 35 appearances for his club this season.

The 24-year-old has had strong goal records at all of his clubs, and played a starring role for South Korea in the World Cup with two goals in his four appearances as they reached the knockout stage.

Aston Villa are not pursuing Danjuma

Aston Villa are not currently in the race to sign Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma, according to journalist Ryan Taylor.

Manager Unai Emery signed the Dutchman when in charge of the La Liga club, and the attacker played some of the best football in his career in his first season at the club, impressing as Villarreal reached the Champions League semi-finals.

The 25-year-old has suffered from injuries in recent months, and missed out on a place in the Netherlands squad for the World Cup, but has

Jesse Marsch could help Leeds sign Cunha

Jesse Marsch’s relationship with Atletico Madrid striker Matheus Cunha could help convince the player to move to Elland Road, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

The Brazilian forward has been linked with a move to Leeds and Wolves as he looks set to depart Madrid in the January transfer window.

Marsch was assistant manager at RB Leipzig when Cunha played there, before the striker moved to Hertha Berlin in 2020, and the pair know each other well.

Cunha scored nine goals and provided three

Jorge Mendes could help Aston Villa

Super agent Jorge Mendes could help Aston Villa secure huge transfers given his good relationship with the club, according to Pete O’Rourke.

The Portuguese agent has a number of high-profile clients including Joao Felix, who is set to leave Atletico Madrid after falling out with manager Diego Simeone, and Aston Villa have been linked with the forward.

Although his price tag may be north of £100m, and with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United reportedly interested, the likelihood of Villa

Rangers could sign Tillman permanently

Rangers loanee Malik Tillman could stay at the club permanently, according to Pete O’Rourke.

The American winger has been impressive since he joined from Bayern Munich, providing four goals and five assists in 24 games this season, and he could remain at Ibrox following his loan spell.

The 20-year-old arrived in the summer with an option to buy in his loan deal, and given his good form, will likely be kept on by new manager Michael Beale.

Beale arrived following the dismissal of Giovanni van

Cunha would be a long term signing for Wolves

Atletico Madrid striker Matheus Cunha would be a long-term signing for Wolves, should they bring him in, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Wolves have been linked with the Brazilian attacker, who looks set to leave Atletico Madrid in the January window, as they look to strengthen their side for a tough relegation battle.

They currently sit rock bottom of the Premier League, but new manager Julen Lopetegui is to take the reigns once the Premier League resumes after the World Cup, and they

Chelsea could move for Youri Tielemans

Chelsea could make a move for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans, with the midfielder’s contract expiring at the end of the season, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

The Belgium international has been strongly linked with Arsenal, but as he enters the final six months of his contract, his future is still open and Leicester could even sell in January.

With Jorginho and N’Golo Kante both out of contract at the end of the season, Chelsea could explore different midfield options, with a m

Chelsea could return for Edson Alvarez

Chelsea could make another move for Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez after their previous bids were rejected, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

The Blues had a deadline day bid rejected in the summer for the Mexican, but they could reignite their interest as they look to strengthen their midfield.

The 25-year-old, who has been hailed as ‘unstoppable’, has made 122 appearances for Ajax, scoring 10 goals, and typically plays as a box-to-box midfielder.

With N’Golo Kante and Jorginho out of contr

Update on Reece James Chelsea return

Chelsea star Reece James is set to make his return from injury soon, according to injury expert Ben Dinnery.

The fullback has been absent with a hamstring injury which saw him miss the World Cup, but is set to return to full training soon, and could return to the starting lineup for Chelsea’s FA Cup tie against Manchester City in early January.

The 23-year-old has established himself as a crucial starter at Chelsea, and losing him for such a long period was a big blow for Graham Potter.

Jordan claims Jadon Sancho is overrated

TalkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan has claimed that Jadon Sancho is overrated after it was revealed that he was training away from the rest of the Manchester United squad.

The £73m signing from Borussia Dortmund has had a difficult time at the club, registering just eight goals in 52 appearances, and has been criticised by manager Erik ten Hag and sent on an individual training programme.

The 22-year-old is short of confidence, having thrived in Germany, but United are yet to see any return on thei
