Man City set their sights on Elliot Anderson
Manchester City are the latest club to be linked with a move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, with the Daily Mirror reporting that the Cityzens are considering making a £75m bid.
The 22-year-old has shone at the City Ground since signing for the club last summer and has now also become a regular in Thomas Tuchel's England midfield.
His performances on the international stage have prompted interest from several European giants, and Man City are the latest to be linked with a move. Getting him out of Nottingham won't be easy, though, as his contract runs until 2029.
The report in the Mirror also states that Chelsea and Manchester United are also keen on the midfielder, while Newcastle would also love to have him back in their ranks.
Tottenham to break the bank to bring back Kane
Tottenham are reportedly prepared to break the bank next summer to bring Harry Kane back from Bavaria.
According to a report in TeamTalk, the North London club are determined to make a marquee signing next summer and believe that Kane's signature would represent a real statement of intent.
The release clause in Kane's contract is reportedly around the €60m mark, and while that would be a hefty amount to pay for a player who will be 33 next summer, the lure of bringing the England captain ‘back home' will be hard to resist.
The report also states that Kane would be open to the move, as he still has his heart set on breaking the Premier League goalscoring record
Premier League trio linked with Kobbie Mainoo
Kobbie Mainoo's future is expected to dominate the January transfer window in England, particularly as the Man Utd midfielder still isn't getting the minutes he craves.
According to a report in the Daily Briefing, Mainoo requested to leave Man Utd at the end of the summer window, but was ultimately forced to stay at Old Trafford due to a lack of midfield options at the club.
The report also states that Mainoo won't be short of potential suitors in the Premier League should he move from Old Trafford this winter. Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle and Leeds are all said to be tracking the 20-year-old, and a move in January isn't off the cards.
If Mainoo does make the move to Chelsea this winter, then he will be reunited with another former Man Utd academy graduate, Alejandro Garnacho, who signed for the Blues in the summer.
