Premier League transfer news: Manchester United offer much higher wages to Sergio Ramos, Arsenal target to cost €80 million December 23, 2018

#3 Cardiff and Arsenal

Cardiff City are lingering just above the drop zone and would love to push themselves up as far as possible. As a result, they might be looking for players in January that would strengthen their team and help in their bid to stay up.

According to journalist Alan Nixon, Cardiff City want striker Josh Maja of Sunderland and have also tried to sign Oumar Niasse from Everton.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have been linked with Nicolas Pepe for a while now. The forward has truly broken through this season with 12 goals from 19 games while also assisting five times.

However, it might not be easy for the Gunners to sign him as Lille chief Luis Campos has revealed that it would take at least €80 million for the French outfit to consider selling him.

“€80million. But [any club] will also have to convince the player," he was quoted as saying.
