Latest transfer news today: Tottenham enquire over double AC Milan swoop, Man City eye move for Chelsea star

The 2026-27 campaign is gathering pace, and the rumour mill is already in full swing ahead of the January transfer window.

Major clubs across Europe are beginning to draw up plans for potential reinforcements when the window opens.

Football Whispers takes a look at the top stories dominating today's backpages.

Tottenham eye AC Milan duo?

Tottenham Hotspur have made a poor start to the season and sit 16th in the Premier League table, having picked up just one win from their opening seven matches.

According to reports, Spurs and Newcastle United are both showing interest in AC Milan duo Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fikayo Tomori.

Representatives from the clubs were reportedly in attendance at the Vitality Stadium recently to watch the pair in action as Milan suffered a 3-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

Milan are open to parting ways with both players, with intermediaries already working behind the scenes to find suitable destinations for them.

Man Utd want RB Leipzig defender?

Manchester United have made their worst start to a Premier League season in 40 years, leaving Michael Carrick under considerable pressure.

The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their left-back and centre-back positions in the upcoming transfer window.

According to Caughtoffside, Man Utd have placed RB Leipzig captain David Raum near the top of their shortlist for January.

Raum's contract with Leipzig expires in the summer of 2027, and the defender is keen to test himself in the Premier League.

Manchester City eye move for Chelsea defender?

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea full-back Malo Gusto during the January transfer window.

Enzo Maresca has already reunited with former Chelsea player Enzo Fernandez, and Gusto could become the next player to make the move to the Etihad Stadium in a few months' time.

Chelsea demanded £70m for Gusto during the summer transfer window, but their valuation has since dropped, potentially opening the door for City to negotiate a deal.

While Gusto remains high on City's radar, their plans to strengthen the squad in January could be affected by any penalties stemming from their financial rule-breaking case.
