Jay Rodriguez was always going to be here (no
Adam Lallana though?) after his England call-up. Liverpool are preparing a January bid for the Southampton striker, and Arsenal are interested too.
If Spurs can shift
Emmanuel Adebayor off their wage bill they’ll move for
Javier Hernandez when the transfer window opens. Arsenal are interested too.
If United aren’t selling then AVB will look at
Hernanes from Lazio instead. Arsenal are interested too.
Edison Cavani has had enough of playing second fiddle to Zlatan at PSG, and this has put Chelsea and Man City on ‘red alert’. Arsenal are interested too.
The Gunners will have a clear run at
Karim Benzema (£22m) and
Demba Ba (£15m – pricey) though. I guess the main thing to take away from all this is that Arsene Wenger is after a striker…
Not that there’s any mention of him making eyes at
Radamel Falcao, that’s all Jose Mourinho, and Roman Abramovic, carrying £60m in unmarked notes.
Sam Allardyce could do with someone up top as well.
Jermain Defoe, ex Man City forward
Felipe Caicedo, anyone really…
Say what you want about Man Utd’s transfer activity, but when it comes to swap-deal rumours they’re out on their own. It’s
Marco Reus this week, with
Shinji Kagawa making a glorious return to Dortmund. They’re also after Real Madrid’s
Sami Khedira, who’s valued at £35m, and will duke it out with Liverpool for Benfica’s former Chelsea midfielder
Nemanja Matic.
Joe Hart’s still dropped, still dead to Manuel Pellegrini.
Victor Valdes or
Willy Caballero will replace him.
Joleon Lescott’s not feeling much love at the Etihad either. Enter Mark Hughes with promises of a better life and regular football in Stoke.
Ola Toivonen could be on his way to Newcastle in a £2.5m deal, and
Sone Aluko will swap Premier League mid-table obscurity at Hull for eventual Championship mid-table obscurity at Crystal Palace, the fool.
