Hello and welcome to the Premier League latest transfer news and rumours of the day! Here are the top stories surrounding the Premier League clubs thus far…
#5 Pogba to Real
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been touted for a move to Real Madrid. The Frenchman hasn’t had a great time at the Theatre of Dreams, constantly finding himself on the wrong pages of Jose Mourinho’s book.
As a result, there have been various reports of the midfielder wanting a move away from the club. And according to Manchester United star Andrei Kanchelskis, he is going to want to move to Madrid in the summer as the style of the Premier League doesn’t suit him.
“I think Paul Pogba will be seeking a move to Real Madrid this summer. I don’t think his style of play is suited for the Premier League,” Andrei Kanchelskis said.
Kanchelskis believes that La Liga or Serie A are the places where the best of Paul Pogba could be witnessed. He also added that he would be better for Real Madrid than their archrivals Barcelona.
“We will see his brilliance in the Italian or Spanish league. He may not suit the Barcelona style of play, but he’s perfect for Real Madrid. He’ll be able to express himself more freely on the field for them.”
Finally, he stated that Pogba should consider leaving United, where he hasn’t been at his best, and find a club that suits him – as Napoli did to Diego Maradona.
"Pogba has failed to show consistency with his performances since joining United and it’s time for a change. If Pogba wants to go down as a great, he needs to find a team that suits his play. Maradona never found his feet properly at Barcelona but turned in to a world beater at Napoli and I think this could be the same for Pogba.”
#4 Marco Silva on Tom Davies and Gomes
Everton manager Marco Silva has completely ruled out the possibility of the club letting Tom Davies go out on loan in the winter. Davies has found it slightly difficult to get minutes, prompting rumours of him leaving on loan.
Silva, however, has revealed that it is impossible that he would be let go because he is an important player and is not only the future of Everton but also its present.
“No way. Impossible. No way,” the Everton manager said. “Tom is part of our squad. He is an important player for me and an important player for us as a club. He is the present and the future of our club.”
When asked about Tottenham Hotspur’s reported interest in Andre Gomes, Silva insisted that those stories aren’t going to effect the club in any way possible.
“Why would it affect us?" he said.
"I understand maybe some clubs are linked with him, I don't know really. But nothing changes in our way, what's in our mind."
#3 Pochettino on January window
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has stated that signing players in January is hard, which is why he won’t be disappointed if Spurs don’t sign anyone in the winter transfer market.
The Lilywhites didn’t sign a single player in the summer of 2018 and have been linked with a few moves in the winter. However, the Argentine stated that it takes time for new signings to adapt, which is why it is better to not sign anybody that isn’t the right player for the manager.
"No, not disappointed. I know very well that January is always difficult,” he said.
"In the same way, if you find some player, look what happened to different players that arrive in January last season.
"It takes time to understand and to perform, to fit with the team. Sometimes it's better not to sign if you don't find the right player."
#2 No United move for Granqvist
Sweden captain Andreas Granqvist has revealed that there is almost no chance for him to join Manchester United. After his terrific performances at the World Cup in Russia, Granqvist was named as one of the potential signings for the Red Devils.
The Old Trafford outfit had been linked with a lot of defenders over the course of the summer and Granqvist, in the end, just turned out to be a name in the rumour mill.
Speaking on whether he would go to the Old Trafford any time soon, the Swede admitted that while it would be a “sensational” thing to happen, it is nearly impossible for the 33-year-old to have a last hurrah at the Theatre of Dreams.
“With 99.9 percent certainty, we can kill the speculation here and now,” he said.
“It would be quite sensational, but I don’t think it will happen. Then I do not know if I want to. It’s with Helsinborgs I want to be.”
#1 Chelsea
If you are excited about seeing Chelsea being linked to new players, then here is a spoiler alert: this is not a slide that is going to please you. The Blues might be playing better this season but things don’t look too bright on the exit front.
According to Don Balon, Real Madrid have finally closed the signing of a Galactico to replace Cristiano Ronaldo: Eden Hazard. The report states that Morata has informed Ronaldo that Hazard’s deal to join Madrid is “practically closed.”
Meanwhile, there are more exit stories regarding the Blues as Fulham want to sign Chelsea defender Gary Cahill in the winter window, according to Sky Sports. Fulham are at the bottom of the Premier League and think Cahill could help them get out of it.
