West Ham United are reportedly among the clubs eyeing up a potential transfer move for Bayern Munich right-back Sacha Boey ahead of January. It looks like the 25-year-old is set to be made available, sparking interest from across Europe, with West Ham said to be in the mix. That's according to a report from tz.de, who also also name the Hammers' London rivals Crystal Palace as suitors for Boey, along with Juventus, Monaco, Lyon, Sevilla, and his former club Galatasaray.

"We'll monitor the injury situation, but we made a lot of changes in the summer and I feel we're only just getting a settled feel in the building,"

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is understood to have blocked Gabriel Jesus' exit from the Emirates Stadium this January despite interest from Premier League clubs. As first reported here in my exclusive for the Daily Briefing, Jesus remains part of Arteta's first-team plans once he's back from injury and fully fit again. There had been some doubt about the Brazil international's situation due to the increased competition for places in the Arsenal attack,

Igor Thiago is attracting interest from top clubs The attacker has scored eight league goals in 11 appearances, a record which is only behind Manchester City's Erling Haaland. A transfer battle could be on the horizon in the Premier League, with Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur all expressing interest in Brentford striker Igor Thiago, according to reports from Trivela and ESPN Brazil.

He is a useful player for them, but his contract is out at the end of the season, and this is Newcastle's final opportunity to cash in on him. They do not want to lose the player on a free transfer. Therefore, selling him for a nominal price in January would be ideal for all parties. It will be interesting to see where the 31-year-old defender ends up.

Vlahovic's people have been doing the rounds. They've been talking to clubs in England, touching base. Obviously in England, there's only so many clubs that obviously can get a Vlahovic, in terms of the big top six. Tottenham, Chelsea are both in the market for strikers possibly. They're being alerted to the fact that Vlahovic is available and he's probably even available for less than 20 million in January but obviously it's in the players hands and if he wants to move.

Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham United, Fulham and Brighton and Hove Albion are also keen on the 24-year-old, who can operate as a midfielder or as a winger. Journalist Graeme Bailey said: "Saibari is attracting a lot of attention and his treble last week was special. He is one to keep an eye on for January, getting goals in January is something Premier League clubs, especially are looking for and he could offer that."

Despite being out of the squad for some time, Origi remains one of Milan 's highest-paid players. He signed in 2022 from Liverpool, but the Belgian striker has essentially played just one season with the Rossoneri, failing to shine and scoring just two goals. Milan have tried for some time to get out of the huge contract that they signed him to but have so far failed. Now, however, Origi is in the final year of that deal and the margins for early termination have increased.

Sunderland have made an impressive start to their Premier League campaign, but they face crucial decisions regarding the futures of several first-team players. They were quite impressive in the Championship last season, and they have carried that form into the top flight, with just two defeats from their opening seven matches. They have managed to bring in talented players during the summer transfer window as well.

I think the time has come for Richarlison to move on. He's never been a player who the club are completely prepared to put their faith in, they know what he can do at his best, but too often he won't be at that level. With Solanke out injured, he's had a good start to the season, but they don't see him as the long-term answer to their issues leading the line.

Thomas Frank's team signed the former Fulham midfielder from Bayern Munich this summer in a loan move and since his move from the Bundesliga, where he struggled for playing time, the Portuguese midfielder has impressed for Spurs. In five Premier League matches this season, Palhinha has scored one goal but more than his goal contribution, his ability to bring stability to the midfield and add strength has worked wonders for the North London club.

Leeds are already thinking about possible additions that they can make to Daniel Farke's squad in the January transfer window, and left-back is an area that could be addressed. Gabriel Gudmundsson, who joined in the summer from Lille, has had a tough start to life in the Premier League, and competition could be brought in mid-season. And one player that Leeds have on their radar is Nico O'Reilly, who has broken into the Man City first team fold over the course of 2025.
