The rivals of London city, Arsenal, and Chelsea have set their eyes on **Newcastle**‘s young Swedish international striker, Alexander Isak. Isak has become one of their targets for boosting the frontline. As January approaches with the transfer window open, this might go down the way of competition between both clubs.
Chelsea have struggled this season for goals and now see Isak as one solution. For Arsenal, they want some depth behind their attacking options. But Isak possesses a profile that makes him the best target for either club – leadership from the front, pace, and finishing. The asking price of Newcastle for its star man may be an issue.
Man Utd Targets New Striker
**Man United**is also looking for a goal threat this January. The lack of solidity with attacking firepower has been the team’s biggest problem this term. The club has been very keen on Alphonso Davies’ situation at Bayern Munich. The Canadian left-back, 24, has been said to be in talks to extend his contract.
Man United has also taken an interest in Lecce’s Danish left back Patrick Dorgu. However, reports suggest that the Blues are ahead in the race for the 20 year old. This competition between EPL giants makes the transfer window more interesting.
Bayern Munich Attempts To Secure Davies
Bayern is working to ensure that Alphonso Davies stays put at the club. Davies has been a great performer, and Bayern wants to keep him in their ranks. Despite Man United’s interest, Bayern seems confident in reaching an agreement with the 24 year old.
Meanwhile, Bayern is also linked with potential outgoings. Leroy Sane, 28, could be sold, with Liverpool reportedly monitoring the German winger.
Young Talents Attracts Interests
Brighton and Southampton are monitoring 18 year old Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller. The Scotland Under-21 representative has also been on Liverpool and Newcastle’s radar. Miller’s impressive shows as a young player have made him one of the top prospect in Scottish football.
Apart from this, Liverpool is found in touch with Leverkusen regarding a possible move for Jeremie Frimpong. The young right-back has been consistent for the German club.
Jonathan Tah: A Target For Barcelona
Barcelona has held talks with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah. The German center back, 28, will be free to move next summer. According to reports, Barca’s director of football, Deco, has already met with agents from Tah’s camp. The Catalan club wants to bolster their defense.
Other Transfer Updates
According to reports, the winger from Naples, Kvaratskhelia is on the target list for Liverpool as they look to improve their team further. He is 23 years old, and he has shown some great performances on the pitch. There is a watch on Benoit Badiashile by Liverpool. As rumors have emerged that the defender might be moving from the Stamford Bridge in January.
On the other hand, the Gunner’s Fabio Vieira might not have a long term future at the club. The midfielder is currently on loan at Porto. And he can be transferred since Arsenal seems ready to listen to offers in the coming window.
Conclusion
The January transfer window is expected to be a turning point for quite a few clubs. They want to strengthen their teams to put up better shows in many competitions. Liverpool is after Khvicha and Badiashile. Such signings could prove to be the depth and quality that a team may need for a good run of form during the second half of the season.
Arsenal, with Fabio, signals that there has been a shift in the approach of the Gunners. Since his future remains uncertain, a move away may benefit the player and the club at large. With the window closing, it is likely to be quite an exciting window for Arsenal fans.
