TRENDING RUMORS
– Chelsea are considering a move to sign Brighton striker Evan Ferguson, according to the Guardian. Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Bournemouth, Everton Tottenham and West Ham have all been monitoring the 20-year-old as he looks set to leave Brighton, either on loan or permanently, this month. Leverkusen have showed the most interest in Ferguson, but Al Nassr pulled out of a deal to sign Victor Boniface, meaning they won’t move for him. That leaves the door open for Chelsea to make a £40m offer to land one the best young forwards in England.
– Manchester United are interested in a move for on-loan VfB Stuttgart striker El Bilal Toure, according to Foot Mercato. The Red Devils are reported to have “accelerated” in their pursuit of the 23-year-old who is on loan from Atalanta, and it is said that there could be a three-way deal situation emerging in which the Bundesliga club would make his loan become permanent for €18m before moving him on to Old Trafford.
– An approach for FC Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez has been made by Manchester City, says Fabrizio Romano. Negotiations are reported to be underway between both clubs, and while the Liga Portugal side would prefer to keep the 23-year-old, he could be signed if Man City activate the €60m release clause in his current deal. Gonzalez joined the Dragoes from Barcelona, who are in line to receive 40% of any future transfer fee.
– An agreement has been reached between Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan for centre-back Fikayo Tomori, reports Gianluca Di Marzio. An initial €25m plus €5m in bonuses is reported to have been agreed for the 27-year-old, and he is set to consider his future and a potential return to the Premier League after initially wanting to remain in Italy.
– Napoli are working on a deal to bring in former Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin, reports Fabrizio Romano. Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli are discussing the termination of his loan at Turkish club Fenerbahce. The 27-year-old has already agreed to move to Napoli, as Gli Azzurri look to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
