Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey is reportedly a top target for Manchester United after impressing for the Black Cats over the past 12 months.

According to Flashscore, the Dutch international is attracting interest from several European giants, including Man Utd, who were interested in signing him before he made the move to Sunderland in 2025.

According to the report, Sunderland value Brobbey at around £50m, but currently have no plans to sell him, considering he is tied to a long-term contract at the Stadium of Light.

Whether Brobbey would push for a move to United remains to be seen, but the Red Devils are in need of another striker to support Benjamin Sesko.

Tottenham are reportedly bracing themselves for the departure of Micky van de Ven next summer, while Aston Villa are searching for an Ezri Konsa replacement.

Barcelona are reportedly weighing up a move for Pedro Porro, as clubs across Europe look to capitalise on continued disappointment at Tottenham.

According to El Nacional, the Spanish giants have made Porro one of their top targets for the January transfer window, with Hansi Flick looking for more attacking options down the right to support Lamine Yamal.

The report states that Barcelona are open to selling Jules Kounde to fund the move, with the Frenchman valued at around €70m.

Porro would reporteldy be open to the move, but getting Tottenham to sell one of their best players in January could be a big ask.
