Hello and welcome to the Premier League roundup for the day! November is upon us and we are just a little over two months away from the January transfer window. And if the stories are anything to go by, then we are in for a great ride even in the winter.
Without further ado, here are the best stories of the day…
#5 Dele Alli signs a new deal
Tottenham may not have made any signings in the summer but they are doing a fine job at tying down their most important players in long-term deals. The most recent addition to that list is Dele Alli.
The former MK Dons starlet has extended his contract till 2024 and expressed his joy and gratitude after penning the new deal. He also stated that the club and the manager have played an important role in his development
“I’m very thankful to the Club, happy to finally sort it out,” Alli said. “The Club has been fantastic to me, helped me to improve with a great manager, great group of players and I couldn’t see myself improving as a player anywhere else.”’
He then added that he is not one to rest on laurels of the past and is looking to improve and become better while also helping his team to win something that they haven’t in a long time: trophies.
“It’s been a good few years but I don’t look too much into the past. I want to keep improving and I feel I’m at a great club to do that.
“The manager, the players, the staff here… it would be difficult for me not to improve. I’ll keep working hard every day and keep listening to the manager. Every player wants to start winning things and hopefully, we can do that here.”
#4 Everton
Ever since moving to Everton, Andre Gomes seems to have been rejuvenated as the world is now once again witnessing the player that wowed the spectators during his time in Valencia.
As a result, there is a chance that Everton will make his deal permanent. However, there is no such buy-out clause in his loan deal, according to a revelation from journalist Adam Jones.
“No, there’s no automatic option in Andre Gomes’ loan for Everton to buy the midfielder,” he said.
However, Jones was still confident that a deal could be done if the Portuguese keeps up his good performances – even if there is no buy-out clause in his loan deal or taking his gigantic release clause into consideration.
“But that doesn’t mean the deal won’t happen – and neither does the 25-year-old’s astronomical buy-out clause. If the Portuguese international continues in this strong form throughout the campaign, then there’s little doubt the Blues will surely be interested in a permanent move.”
#3 Gary Neville on Pochettino
Mauricio Pochettino has done a tremendous job with Tottenham Hotspur since taking over the club. Unfortunately, however, he hasn’t been backed enough in the transfer market and it seems as though he might want to move now with the position of the manager vacant at Real Madrid.
At least that is what Gary Neville seems to think. The former Espanyol stated that he is at his worst feeling with Spurs and the former Manchester United right-back sees those words a foundation of wanting to leave the club.
"Pochettino is a brilliant coach but at some point, he was always going to want to manage one of the super clubs in Europe,” he said.
"There are a couple at the moment that you can imagine will be changing manager in the next 12 months and looking at him, and he will know they are looking at him."
"It feels to me that he has laid the first foundations for a move away from the club and started to prepare the ground."
Neville’s claims are backed by the Mirror, who report that the Blancos have resurged their interest in the former Southampton manager.
#2 Manchester madness
They might not be the top dog in this slideshow but they have begun to make their comeback in the grandest of fashions. The Red Devils are one of the most commonly found names in the rumour mill and today is just another example of that.
The Old Trafford outfit have been linked with a move for Jadon Sancho, who has set the Bundesliga on fire with his scintillating performances for Borussia Dortmund, by TuttoMercatoWeb.
When informed about the interest in him and the quoted price tag of £100 million, he expressed his surprise and had no words to say about it. He
“That’s mad!” Sancho said. “Woah! That’s… I don’t know… I don’t know what to say to that.”
He was also playing it safe when asked if he would return to England in the future.
“I don’t know. It’s the future. You never know what could happen, so we wait and see.”
#1 Liverpool
The high-flying Reds might be joint-top right now but Manchester City just keep getting better with every passing game. The Citizens are not only winning their games but dominating them as well.
It is for this reason that Liverpool might be keen on spending a little more in January as a means to improve the depth of their squad. However, according to reliable journalist James Pearce, Jurgen Klopp is happy with the squad as “he seems very content with what he’s got currently.”
Meanwhile, in what is a direct contradiction to the earlier report, Don Balon claim that Barcelona are not keen on keeping Ousmane Dembele in the team as it doesn’t bode well for a player bought for €147 million to be a backup.
As a result, they could sell him and Liverpool are among the clubs interested. However, Barca are also interested in bringing Mohamed Salah, who is valued at €151 million. Make of it what you will.
