"This year, as with last year, Aston Villa are eyeing the January market to bolster their forward line. For Marcus Rashford in 2025, read Tammy Abraham in 2026. Roma own his registration, though he is now on loan at Besiktas. He was a fan favourite when on loan from Chelsea in Villa's Championship days, so such a move would be something of a homecoming. Another Villa target is Dani Ceballos, the midfielder once of Arsenal, and a useful Real Madrid squad player for years now."
"To compound Crystal Palace's FA Cup misery, and the unsettling tidings on Oliver Glasner's future, there's the rumour that Jean-Philippe Mateta is a target for Juventus. He fought his way back into Ruben Amorim's reckoning but now there is fresh doubt over Harry Maguire's Manchester United future. There are a few takers, too, should he fancy a move in January. And all in Serie A, with Napoli, Inter and Fiorentina thinking he can do some damage."
"United are said to be considering Nottingham Forest's Murillo as a permanent option. With Michael Carrick in situ for now, there's talk he may move for Hayden Hackney, one of his best players when they were working together at Middlesbrough. Tottenham also fancy Hackney, and much may depend on whether Kobbie Mainoo is restored to the United midfield. Napoli would fancy a loan move for him."
"There's been wild talk Chelsea might sign a senior defender, rather than a youngster, and the player linked is Bournemouth's Marcos Senesi. Can the Cherries really be selling another asset? Money may well dictate that they have to. That's a January move but there's speculation in France that Enzo Fernandez may fancy joining Paris Saint-Germain as he is not happy Enzo Maresca was removed so unceremoniously."
Aston Villa are targeting attacking reinforcements in January, pursuing Tammy Abraham and Dani Ceballos, with Abraham owned by Roma and currently on loan at Besiktas. Jean-Philippe Mateta is reportedly attracting interest from Juventus amid Crystal Palace's FA Cup troubles and uncertainty over Oliver Glasner. Harry Maguire faces fresh doubt over his Manchester United future, with Serie A clubs Napoli, Inter and Fiorentina potential suitors. United have considered Nottingham Forest's Murillo and have interest in Hayden Hackney and long-term target Carlos Baleba. Chelsea have been linked with Bournemouth's Marcos Senesi and could move goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, while Enzo Fernandez may eye PSG.
