Bayern not scoping Gusto (Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)
According to Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk, Bayern Munich is not interested in Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto:
At the end of the day, Malo Gusto is a right-back, and we already know what the situation is, given my prior comments on Konrad Laimer. The rumours around Bayern are not true. In the past, he was always a player who was on the list. I asked one of the bosses of Bayern Munich if the 23-year-old is a topic, and the answer was along the lines of: Well, Mal Gusto means “bad taste” in Spanish, so there’s your answer. It won’t happen now.
Right-back is a position to watch at Bayern Munich as both Konrad Laimer and Josip Stanišić have gotten off to slow starts. While nothing is likely to happen this season, the summer could present an opportunity.

Spurs eyeing Ebnoutalib (ESPN)
Tottenham Hotspur is rumored to have interest in Eintracht Frankfurt striker Younes Ebnoutalib:
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt forward Younes Ebnoutalib, per TEAMtalk. Spurs sent scouts to monitor the 23-year-old Germany international during Friday’s 1-0 win against FC Cologne as they assess more attacking options for manager Roberto De Zerbi ahead of the January transfer window.
Ebnoutalib has gotten off to a scorching hot start this season for Die Adler, tallying six goals and two assists in seven games across all competitions. Will that be enough to convince Spurs to spend for him?

€30M for Boey? LOL (ESPN)
Per this report, Bayern Munich wants €30 million for Sacha Boey:
Bayern Munich are looking to part ways with defender Sacha Boey in January and would accept an offer worth €30 million, reports Sport Bild. The German champions are actively seeking potential suitors for the 26-year-old after failing to offload him during the summer window.
It is hard to imagine Bayern Munich will get over €10 million for Boey — if that.
‘Nothing concrete’ for Bayern interest in Williams-Barnett (Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)
Bayern Munich might indeed have interest in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucá Williams-Barnett, but there is nothing concrete, per Sport Bild’s Christian Falk:
I can’t deny this news (that Bayern are interested in Lucá Williams-Barnett), but I don’t have any confirmation on this front as of yet. I don’t think it’s true at the moment. Perhaps they’ve watched the Tottenham midfielder, but I can’t say that there is anything absolutely concrete at the moment. Nonetheless, I will make some talks and calls, and perhaps I’ll hear something! But at the moment, it’s quiet with this name.
