Opinion: Out of favour Premier League ace would be the ideal signing for Atletico this month
Atletico Madrid have done very well in the Spanish League so far this season and they will be one of the favourites to win the title. Diego Simeone’s men are currently at the top of the table with 38 points from 15 matches. Their closest challengers Real Madrid are two points adrift having played two matches more. Atletico Madrid will be hoping to pull further clear of their cross town rivals in the coming weeks and a clever January addition could make a world of difference for them during the second half of the season. The fixture list during the second half of the season is going to be a lot more congested and teams will need more options at their disposal.

Opinion: What Zidane must do in January to sustain Real Madrid’s title challenge?
Real Madrid have made a mediocre start to the Spanish League season by their standards and they will be hoping to close the gap with Atletico Madrid in the coming weeks. The Real Madrid squad is currently lacking in depth and the Spanish giants must look to bring in a couple of players this month. Key areas that need strengthening The Spanish champions need more quality in the central midfield and they should look to invest in their attack as well. They have been overly reliant on Luka Modric, Casemiro and Toni Kroos to deliver every week. The likes of Modric and Kroos are in their 30s and Los Blancos cannot afford to exhaust them with excessive game time. Meanwhile, Karim Benzema has been carrying the Real Madrid attack ever since Cristiano Ronaldo left the club and it will be impor...
Opinion: Ronald Koeman could transform Barcelona with key January signing
Barcelona have been very poor under new manager Ronald Koeman and they are fifth in the Spanish League standings right now. They will need significant additions to the squad during the January transfer window in order to close the gap with the league leaders. Key areas that need strengthening Barcelona must look to sign a quality right-sided winger who will add more goals and creativity to the team. The Spanish giants have been overly reliant on Lionel Messi to create and score goals this season. Youngster Ansu Fati has done quite well so far but he has started just six league games and Koeman cannot rely on him to deliver every week for the remainder of the season. Antoine Griezmann has been quite poor by his standards and he has managed to score just three goals in 15 La Liga games...
‘Liverpool not considering move’ – James Pearce pours cold water on links with £27m star
Liverpool are expected to bring in a new centre-back before the winter transfer window shuts following long-term injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez. Joel Matip has also struggled to remain fit on a consistent basis and is currently out injured, with manager Jurgen Klopp left with Fabinho as his only available senior centre-back option. The duo of Rhys Williams or Nat Phillips have filled in for the injured trio, but they remain with their shortcomings given their relative inexperience, and Reds legend Jamie Carragher believes his former side must sign another central defender before the end of January in order to boost their chances of retaining the title. As a result, Liverpool have been linked with a couple of options, including Lille centre-back Sven Botman. The Reds have reporte...
