Seven Man Utd transfers Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants answers for as trio set for January exits
The January transfer window is still just under three weeks away but rumours are already swirling. Manchester United’s search for a striker continues with RB Leipzig’s Lois Openda among those on the club’s shortlist. The Belgian international is the out-and-out goalscorer they have been crying out for but will cost somewhere in the region of £70million.
Chelsea are reportedly considering three potential exits in January as they look to trim down their squad to help comply with Premier League spending rules. Axel Disasi, Marc Cucurella and academy graduate Conor Gallagher could all be in the firing line.
Arsenal are keen on acquiring the services of Sporting Lisbon duo Ousmane Diomande and Viktor Gyokeres in the winter. Diomande would add further depth to their backline following the injuries of Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jurrien Timber while Gyokeres would be brought in to start up front. Together they would cost around £150m.
