Latest Randal Kolo Muani transfer rumor is another blow to Tottenham’s ego

Tottenham have placed PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani at the top of their transfer wishlist, in the hopes that another goal-scorer can help take Spurs to another level and out of the bottom half of the league. While Spurs have bigger weaknesses elsewhere in the squad, it would make sense for them to add another striker as a supplement to Dominic Solanke, who has actually been a success since his expensive 60 million pound transfer in the summer. Competition for Kolo Muani, however, is fierce, as several clubs in the Premier League are lining up to sign the Frenchman, including Manchester United, and there are other clubs around Europe who may have a leg up on Tottenham. One of those teams is Juventus, who need another striker just as much as Tottenham do, with no real backup for Dus...

Aston Villa’s best hope at right back is on the cusp of being available this transfer window

Aston Villa have been scouring the market for possible right back options in the January 2025 transfer market, as the club looks to upgrade on the flawed Matty Cash, whose lack of attacking quality has hamstrung the wingers, particularly when it comes to getting inside to take on more shtos. For the most part, Aston Villa have focused their search on LaLiga, which is a familiar market to both Unai Emery and Monchi and contains undervalued players. But problematically, LaLiga doesn't have much high-end talent at right back that would help a Champions League-level side in the Premier League, particularly when it comes to being able to get forward. In general, pickings at right back are slim, which is part of the reason why Aston Villa have been sticking with Cash, who is still a better...

Brighton are eyeing the biggest transfer bargain at RB in 2025

Brighton aren't far away from returning to European football next season, as they are just five points back of Bournemouth in seventh, occupying the Conference League place in the Premier League table. They have assembled a great deal of young attacking talent, including two of the most underrated young stars in European football in Yankuba Minteh and Joao Pedro. But Brighton could use some more defensive reinforcements, which is why some fans are a little peeved that the Seagulls are mostly linked to attacking names on the January 2025 transfer market. However, according to a report from Sky Sports, Brighton are also among the teams watching Southampton right back Kyle-Walker Peters, who is in his very last negotiations with the Saints for a new contract. Walker-Peters is one ...

West Ham reportedly no longer in the running for three January 2025 striker transfer targets

West Ham are in the market for a new striker this January after watching Niclas Fullkrug go down with yet another injury, one that will cost him the next three months and leaves the highly underwhelming Danny Ings as the only out-and-out No. 9 available. The Hammers signed Fullkrug this past summer window, but he has failed to make an impact due to injuries. With Jarrod Bowen also out, the club's best option at striker under Graham Potter for the foreseeable future might very well be Mohammed Kudus as a false nine. While West Ham are trying to show that they are serious about signing a new striker to their fans, their opening move to bid low for Jhon Duran won't go over well. And now, it looks like a few of the preferred options for the Hammers are off the table. According to a re...

West Ham get wonderful Jarrod Bowen injury news

West Ham star right winger Jarrod Bowen is arguably the most important player on the team and was a hero a couple of years ago when the Hammers conquered the Conference League Final against historic Italian side Fiorentina. Bowen is one of the best wingers in the Premier League and is currently out with a fractured left foot he suffered on Dec. 29 against Liverpool, leaving West Ham without their best player for the foreseeable future. With other key attacking injuries, including another long-term one to big No. 9 Niclas Fullkrug in the last FA Cup fixture vs. Aston Villa, Bowen's injury has loomed even larger. But the Hammers just received a positive injury update. According to a report from The Standard's Dom Smith, Bowen is back training with club physios and is far ahead of th...

PSG offering Jhon Duran staggering salary increase to tempt striker’s transfer from Aston Villa

Aston Villa star striker Jhon Duran looks like he can be the next big thing in the Premier League, as he has broken out this season as Ollie Watkins's more clinical backup with 7 goals in just around 600 minutes of league action. Duran isn't the full-time starter at Villa Park, but the 21-year-old's time will surely come, as the Villains have always backed Duran fully, even after so many teams came forward with lucrative transfer offers last summer. Now, Aston Villa are being rewarded after Unai Emery placed faith in the young striker, and Duran's value has only doubled since then. But now, an entirely different bracket of teams to West Ham are after the Colombian standout, which will place more pressure on Villa's resolve to keep their future superstar. PSG are most prominently i...

West Ham’s latest striker transfer target sounds like a different version of the same problem

After Niclas Fullkrug went down with an injury that will cost him three more months, West Ham are reeling at the striker position, and with the injuries they have suffered in the attack this season, it's been a huge impediment to any sort of momentum. Already, West Ham had to fire new manager Julen Lopetegui amidst a 14th-placed start to the 2024/25 Premier League season, and they want to make sure new coach Graham Potter at least has some attacking ammunition to get started off on the right foot with his tactical ideas. Therefore, West Ham are pushing hard to sign a striker in the January 2025 transfer window, and after a silly bid for Jhon Duran that was always going to be laughed out the building, the Hammers are looking at a more achievable target. According to a report from t...

Monchi has found a wild card RB alternative for Aston Villa

Aston Villa are in the market for a new right back in the January 2025 transfer window, as Matty Cash has proven to be a mediocre option at the position for a Champions League-level side - and he needs some additional cover anyway. In their pursuit of immediate depth, Aston Villa have been on the lookout for a number of right back options this winter, with most of the search focusing on LaLiga. Andrei Ratiu of Rayo Vallecano, Villarreal star Juan Foyth, and Celta Vigo's Oscar Mingueza are the three most linked names. Mingueza appeared to be the favorite, but there are now understandably doubts about whether or not Villa are going to activate his 20 million euro release clause. While Mingueza is having a strong season as a playmaker in Vigo with five LaLiga assists, the player is m...

Transfer insider reveals intriguing Timo Werner landing spot for Tottenham with a frustrating twist

Tottenham forward Timo Werner is on the outs at the club after a second, more extended loan deal between Spurs and RB Leipzig has failed to yield any positive results for the German international. Werner once flirted with 30 goals in the Bundesliga and won the Champions League a year later, but he has fallen badly from grace, including fallouts with Chelsea, Leipzig, and now Tottenham. Although Werner is still a Leipzig player, it appears that Tottenham should be just as invested in getting him off their wage books and somewhere else, as the money and squad space freed up by a new Werner loan could help Spurs facilitate a deal for a better goal-scorer, such as current top target Randal Kolo Muani of PSG. According to a report from top Serie A insider Gianluca Di Marzio, Tottenham ...

Transfer insider says Aston Villa have reached full agreement for their top January 2025 target

Aston Villa have been hard at work again in the January 2025 transfer market, just as they have always been since Unai Emery took charge of the club as manager with his close confidant from Sevilla, sporting director Monchi. The Villains are a little off the Champions League pace this season, and they have a number of needs in their squad, with the two biggest being a dynamic winger and a right back. Right now, the main transfer focus for Aston Villa this winter has been adding a winger to take pressure off former Bundesliga star Leon Bailey, as they have yet to replace another former Bayer Leverkusen winger, Moussa Diaby, who was sold for a modest profit last summer to the Saudi Pro League after a mediocre first season at Villa Park. Well, Aston Villa seem to be headed back to th...
