It’s a bit weak, but the Mirror are running a story that gives credence to the Man City situation online, suggesting that Kyle Walker could leave the club in January.

Nothing concrete appears in either version of the evaluation, but the right-back is “evaluating his options moving forward” after the setback and coining the phrase.

A return to Sheffield United and interest from AC Milan are the only clubs mentioned.

A £25m bid for Daniel Mullen could be in the offing from Aston Villa, and Unai Emery is keen on attacking reinforcements.

The Mail Online say Villa is again interested in a former target and likes his versatility as much as his attacking prowess, while Malen is friends with left-back Jan Maatsen after playing together at Borussia Dortmund and the Netherlands national team.

The report states that Mullen could be up for grabs with “up to three extensions” in January due to having 18 months left on his contract.

The Daily Mail claim that at least two Premier League clubs are looking at Jack Grealish and are considering whether there is any chance of prying him away from Manchester City.

According to the report, Tottenham and Newcastle are both ‘monitoring’ the England winger, with City likely to spend in January to prevent them from being relegated, and Grealish’s place in the squad is insecure.

It’s worth noting that both sides have Son Heung-min – the team captain – and Anthony Gordon – one of the Magpies’ best players – in that left-back role, which is Grealish’s usual place at City.

Manchester United are “monitoring” Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkes, according to Fabrizio Romano, the football transfer twitter. This defender joins a new agency at the beginning of the year.

He wrote in X: “Milos Kirkes has signed with Fali Ramezani’s new agency Liane Sport from 2025. He is definitely one to watch and Manchester United are among the top clubs monitoring his progress.”

Manchester United may want a few new signings, but one of them is Andreas Christensen for January.

The Barcelona centre-back has had injury problems but was a consistent performer last season, even playing in midfield in La Liga.

Juventus are also heavily interested and Mundo Deportivo say the duo want him on loan.

A quick note missing a familiar face in the Premier League: Willian, formerly of Chelsea, Arsenal and Fulham, is leaving his club in Greece.

Olympiakos wishes Willian the best in the next stages of his career. “He will always have a family in Piraeus.”

The 36-year-old hadn’t been there for a long time, but now he’s there for a new venture. England’s fourth team?

Manchester United and Juventus are looking to sign Andreas Christensen from Barcelona.

Mundo Deportivo reported that the Dane could leave the Camp Nou in January with 18 months left on his contract.

The 28-year-old has missed much of the current campaign due to fitness issues, but talks could begin in the coming weeks to agree a fee well below his €500m buyout clause.

Bournemouth could soon have a young face in the squad, with the Telegraph reporting that a fee has been agreed with DC United to sign teenager Matai Akinboni.

Medical tests are still pending before the 18-year-old defender arrives. He previously had a trial with Bayern Munich and is the nephew of ex-Ghana defender Sammy Kufour, who played for the same German club – including in the ’99 Champions League final – and Roma during his career.

And some of the talk on paper right now is about the same team: Wolves have made Kevin Danso their top priority, according to talkSport. Vito Pereira is a fan and the Austrian may initially be available on loan to buy, the latter a must if Wolves survive the relegation.

The former Augsburg defender was previously in England on loan at Southampton. He has 24 caps for his national team and now plays for Lens in France.

Not a transfer rumour, but it could have had a huge impact on Wolves’ season and perhaps their January activities – but Mateusz Kona has only been banned for two games for elbowing a member of the Ipswich squad, along with an £80,000 fine. .

One of the games will be a FA Cup tie, so Wolves’ ban in the league is minimal.
