Opinion: Liverpool must take Carragher’s transfer advice and sign 22-yr-old in January

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher recently urged the club to spend big on a centre back. The Reds are struggling with an injury crisis at the back and the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez have been ruled out for several months. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool dip into the transfer market next month to sign a centre back. The Reds have been linked with a move for the RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano recently and Carragher claimed in October that Liverpool should pay extra money and bring the player in on the 1st of January. Carragher said (via Liverpool Echo): “There is a young man everyone was talking about at Leipzig, Dayot Upamecano, there is talk of him. Whether he has the profile of Van Dijk, I think he is only 6’1″ or 6’2”, so he is maybe not that aerial, b...

Report: NUFC admire Everton midfielder as Bruce eyes potential January move

According to The Athletic’s Chris Waugh, Everton midfielder Tom Davies is admired on Tyneside, and Newcastle United could make a move in January as head coach Steve Bruce looks to bolster his midfield. The department is the club’s weakest area, and the Magpies boss privately bemoaned his side’s failure to make quality additions during the summer transfer window in November. Newcastle have identified a couple of potential targets in the domestic and foreign markets as they prepare for next month’s transfer business, but Bruce prefers players with Premier League experience. It’s not the first time that the Toons have been linked with Davies, and a move could be sealed this time with the Everton academy graduate currently struggling for game time under manager Carlo Ancelotti at Goodison Park...

‘Agent Grealish making moves’ – Some Villa fans react to transfer report regarding 27-yr-old

Aston Villa could look to sign Ross Barkley on a permanent transfer. According to Birmingham Mail, Chelsea are prepared to cash in on the midfielder in order to fund moves for Declan Rice and Erling Haaland at the end of this season. Aston Villa are set to explore the opportunity to sign the midfielder on a permanent deal next month and the negotiations will continue until a decision is made.

Chelsea might even look for a profit given the fact that Barkley has been in outstanding form for Aston Villa since his move in the summer. The midfielder has made quite the impression during his loan spell so far and it will be interesting to see i...

Report: Inter Milan keen on January move for £90m Madrid man

According to Tuttosport (via DiarioGol), Inter Milan are keen on Real Madrid winger Eden Hazard and will look to bring him to San Siro when the winter transfer window Osborne months. The Belgium international has struggled with injuries since joining the La Liga giants from Chelsea in June 2019 for an initial £90 million in a five-year deal, featuring in just 28 games across all competitions. Hazard has scored just thrice and assisted seven times in those appearances, and he hasn’t had the type of impact manager Zinedine Zidane hoped for when he convinced President Florentino Perez to pursue his signature. The Madrid boss wanted a player that could replicate something similar to the type of impact Cristiano Ronaldo had at the Santiago Bernabeu, and landing the former Chelsea star was one o...
