It is time to take a closer look at the latest transfer news today, with Premier League clubs keeping their eyes wide open for potential business deals.
One of the biggest stories of the day concerns Liverpool, who have joined the race for arguably the most exciting young English midfielder in the Premier League right now.
Elsewhere, Tottenham are considering making a move for one of England’s top strikers, who is currently making his presence felt in Saudi Arabia.
Here are the biggest headlines of the day…
Liverpool join race for new Jordan Henderson
Liverpool are looking to fix the imbalance of their team by signing breakout Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson, according to a report by Rousing The Kop.
The Reds would have to spend upwards of £70m in order to bring the player to Anfield, with stern competition from Premier League rivals causing that number to inflate in recent months.
Anderson has been tracked by the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United after enjoying a tremendous season for Forest – one which earned him his first international call-up with England.
Liverpool see the 22-year-old as a potential replacement for Reds legend Jordan Henderson, with Anderson sharing a lot of the same qualities, including his command of the ball and a host of technical abilities.
Tottenham seek Thomas Frank and Ivan Toney reunion
Tottenham are considering making a January move for ex-Premier League talisman and current Al Ahli striker Ivan Toney, according to a report by Caught Offside.
Toney has a contract with his Saudi Pro League club until 2028, though with the player bagging goals for fun, there has been no shortage of interest for his signature – including from the north side of London.
Tottenham’s current manager, Thomas Frank, managed the 29-year-old at Brentford, and the close relationship between the two men is expected to give the club an upper hand in potential negotiations.
Toney is currently valued at £21m by Transfermarkt, though a potential January deal would likely generate far more revenue – especially with the likes of Chelsea and other Premier League clubs also circling the waters.
Man United keeping close tabs on Robert Lewandowski
Man United manager Ruben Amorim is interested in bolstering his attacking options with the signing of Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, according to recent claims by the Daily Star.
The Poland international will be out of contract in the summer, but it appears his future will be away from the Camp Nou after reports suggested Barca are not keen on a contract extension.
Hansi Flick’s side have reservations about the 37-year-old, with his age and ability to press coming under scrutiny in recent weeks.
Lewandowski revealed in an interview that he almost joined Man United in 2012, and he may not get the opportunity to finally make his mark on Old Trafford, with the Red Devils pondering over a potential free transfer in the summer.
