Valencia striker Maxi Gomez could be allowed to leave the club in January. According to Daily Mail, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal are keeping tabs on the Uruguayan international. Valencia are under financial stress due to the Coronavirus crisis and they could look to sell the player in order to raise some funds when the transfer window reopens next month.

‘I believe they do’: Journalist delivers verdict on Man Utd interest in £100m target
The Atheltic journalist Laurie Whitwell has suggested that Manchester United still retain an interest in Jack Grealish. The Red Devils were heavily linked with a move for the England international during the summer, but they didn’t come up with a formal bid. Aston Villa were demanding a fee in the region of £70-80m for their star midfielder, while United had other targets (Jadon Sancho for instance) in mind. Grealish has been simply outstanding for Villa (five goals, five assists) this season, and there’s a feeling that United may have missed a trick by not signing him. The 25-year-old creative midfielder can take some of the creative burdens off Bruno Fernandes and could be an ideal replacement for Paul Pogba, if and when he leaves the club. Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, drop...
Report: Leeds United keeping tabs on 22-yr-old who has been linked with West Ham
Leeds United have been linked with a move for the former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards.

According to Football Insider, Leeds United are keeping tabs on the young attacker and they could have signed him during the summer transfer window. However, the Premier League side went on to sign Raphinha for £17 million instead. It will be interesting to see if Leeds United reignite their interest in the player at the end of this season. Marcelo Bielsa already has three impressive wingers (Jack Harrison, Raphinha and Helder Costa) at his disposal and it would be surprising to see him splash out on another wide player anytime soon. There i...
Report: Everton keen on 27-yr-old La Liga player who could be available in January

According to Sport, Everton are interested in signing the defender. The Toffees could use some depth in the centre back position and Samuel Umtiti would be a handy signing for Carlo Ancelotti.

Samuel Umtiti was considered as a world-class talent when he moved to Barcelona and the player still has his best years ahead of him. Carlo Ancelotti is a top-class manager who might be able to help the ...
