Aston Villa are about to reach their breaking point in the Donyell Malen transfer negotiations

Aston Villa have pinpointed Donyell Malen as their favored transfer target at the right wing position, likely because he is an explosive athlete with goal-scoring upside who seemed, at the outset, to be a cost-effective option. The Lions have former Bundesliga star Leon Bailey as a decent veteran presence on the wing, but they don't have a whole lot beyond the Jamaican international, leading to their interest in a more direct scoring option who can add dynamism to the side. Aston Villa are pretty close to getting a deal done for Malen, and all the personal terms are agreed. They just need to negotiate with Dortmund on the final transfer fee, which has become a bit of a problem, thanks to the Bundesliga giants. According to a report from Sky Sports Germany's main insider Florian Pl...

Top Serie A insider gives pleasantly surprising Federico Chiesa transfer update for Liverpool

Liverpool were rumored to be involved in the sweepstakes for Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is adamant that he wants to leave an organization that, despite challenging for the Serie A title this season, has been mostly known for disappointing its best players. Now, it looks like the deep pockets of PSG will drive the negotiations for Kvara, leaving Liverpool on the outside looking in. It's not like Liverpool were desperate for Kvaratskhelia, however, as they have two left wingers who have been even better this season in Luis Diaz and breakout superstar Cody Gakpo. Napoli are reportedly eyeing Federico Chiesa as a possible replacement for Kvaratskhelia on the left wing, as Chiesa has a great Serie A pedigree as a former standout for both Fiorentina and Juventus before the Bian...

Aston Villa interested in €60M center midfielder this winter

Aston Villa brought in Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley as much-needed additions to their center midfield this past summer, but they could use more reinforcements at the position. Barkley actually just suffered an injury in Villa's come-from-behind FA Cup win over West Ham, and with the top-four slipping out of reach, the Lions could use a wise midfield addition in 2025 to bolster their chances in the second half of the season. According to a report from Diario Sport, Aston Villa are registering an interest in FC Porto center midfielder Nico Gonzalez, who has been shining this season in the Portuguese top flight in a deeper role. Gonzalez has a 60 million euro release clause at Porto that would necessitate activating in order for a transfer to occur, especially since Barcelona still ...

Tottenham have a chance to sign another transformative Serie A transfer target

Over the years, Tottenham have earned a reputation for making brilliant signings from Serie A, especially players with ties to Juventus, owing to their connections through previous executive Fabio Paratici. Rodrigo Bentancur, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario, and Dejan Kulusevski are all vital players to Tottenham in 2025 and all got their starts as top players in Serie A. Even last winter, Spurs signed a talented player from the Italian top flight in center back Radu Dragusin. While Tottenham are mostly focusing on forwards this winter and have their eyes peeled on disgruntled PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani, it appears they could make a smarter signing from Serie A. According to a report from TV Play in Italy, Tottenham are preparing to make a transfer offer of a...

Ange Postecoglou offers mildly concerning Timo Werner transfer news

Tottenham are in the market for some more attacking help in the January transfer window, and while the smart money is, unfortunately, on Spurs to make a grand total of zero moves, there has been a recent push to acquire PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani. The talented Frenchman sits atop the list of Spurs transfer targets this winter, as the club would like to add some additional goal-scoring quality next to summer striker signing Dominic Solanke. But in order to sign someone like Kolo Muani this January, there's a belief that Tottenham will need to part ways with a forward they don't need, and most of the speculation has rested on Timo Werner. The German international signed with Tottenham again this summer for a full season on loan after a lukewarm initial six months in the 2023/24 s...

PSG’s attempted package for a Jhon Duran transfer seems insulting to Aston Villa

Aston Villa star striker Jhon Duran has turned heads perhaps more than any other young striker in European football this season, scoring 7 goals in just around 600 Premier League minutes for the Villains this season, even pushing Ollie Watkins for playing time. Watkins's all-around game leaves him undisputed at the top of the Villa pecking order, so there are big club around Europe angling to try and convince Duran to start for them. This past summer, Aston Villa successfully held off significant interest in the 21-year-old marksman, including particularly heavy interest from Premier League rivals West Ham. Aston Villa have benefited from backing Duran since then and have perhaps the world's next great striker on their hands. As such, they value him even more highly than they did ...

David Ornstein provides encouraging Randal Kolo Muani to Tottenham transfer news

The hot topic around Tottenham right now is Randal Kolo Muani, as the PSG striker is ticketed for a move out of the French capital after failing to impress since a whopping 95 million euro transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt. But outside of PSG, Kolo Muani has been quite good, including a season with 15 goals and 11 assists that led to the big move to Paris and acclaim as one of the best all-around No. 9's in Europe. Tottenham are hoping that Kolo Muani can get back to that level in North London, and he was previously a good player in Ligue 1, too, before flailing in his return to the French top flight with the league's biggest team. According to top Premier League transfer insider David Ornstein on YouTube, it looks like Tottenham are the team showing the most interest in Kolo Muan...

Liverpool are not the favorites to sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Liverpool have two of the best left wingers in world football, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo, but, recently, they've been mentioned as a team that could get involved in the Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sweepstakes. Just two years ago, Kvaradona earned that most hallowed of nicknames after leading Napoli to their first Scudetto since the heyday of Diego Armando Maradona, christening the stadium of the Argentinian's namesake with beautiful dribbles and stunning curled efforts, proving to be more than just the heir to Lorenzo Insigne. But after the wistful thinking that Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen could become Napoli legends for years to come, the two look set to leave one of Serie A's most poorly-run clubs this winter. Liverpool are reportedly keeping the track open for Kvarastkhelia, and ...

Tottenham’s biggest January 2025 transfer priority

Tottenham are currently a lowly 12th in the Premier League despite having a goal difference that is tied for fifth in the league and the second-most goals in the top flight overall. A lot of that is due to their swashbuckling playing style under Ange Postecoglou rather than any one player shining individually as a goal-scorer, because, in fact, their best player, Son Heung-min, only has five goals so far this season. Moreover, Tottenham have been the victims of horrible luck with injuries again, as their best defenders Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario have all suffered serious injuries this season. Despite the myriad of injuries in defense and a few lingering question marks about their midfield, Spurs don't view either of those ar...

Latest Randal Kolo Muani transfer news is a tough blow for Tottenham

Tottenham have been interested in signing Randal Kolo Muani from PSG this winter, as the out-of-form French striker is one of the hottest No. 9's available this January. Kolo Muani was one of the best strikers in Europe during the 2022/23 season with Eintracht Frankfurt, leading to a whopping 95 million euro transfer to PSG the following summer. He has been unable to come close to meeting that valuation, but several top Premier League teams interested in a striker, including Tottenham, believe he can be a solution and show his best level in a counterattacking system in what is becoming a more expansive English top flight. Tottenham just spent 60 million pounds on a No. 9 in Dominic Solanke, but they'd like to get more goal-scoring power from their forwards. Richarlison is a nonfac...
