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.

There is going to be an openness to sign another forward if they still lack cutting edge, and that will form more clearly between now and January. They will wait to see the market opportunities that exist and aim to sign a player who can fit in. Let's use Gabriel Jesus as an example. He will likely be available and definitely has the elite quality that could fit the bill. But what is the financial commitment needed? There is talk of a 30m transfer valuation, but you also have to consider his personal package. The level of wages does matter.

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.

Still, it seems Chiesa's future will be one to watch again in January as transfer expert Dean Jones discussed the situation with TEAMtalk. Jones says it's likely that Chiesa will have opportunities, but it's not guaranteed he'll be rushing to leave as his next move would likely be seen as something of a step down. Despite his lack of guaranteed minutes, it seems that Chiesa is not exactly desperate to leave Liverpool, so his next move would have to be the right kind of project to tempt him.

According to Football Insider, Arsenal could be willing to part ways with Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard in the January transfer window, having significantly added to their attacking ranks over the summer. Jesus is still working on his recovery from an ACL tear he suffered early in the calendar year, and once he's back in action, the 28-year-old Brazilian will likely remain behind summer arrival Viktor Gyokeres, as well as Kai Havertz, in the pecking order under Mikel Arteta.

According to Empire of the Kop, the Premier League leaders could consider the surprise sale of Ibrahima Konate in the January transfer window. The French centre-back has still not agreed a new contract at the club and with some of the biggest clubs in Europe showing interest in signing him, Liverpool want to avoid the situation of losing him for free next summer after the player has entered the final year of his deal at the club.

Tottenham are continuing to show a strong interest in a potential transfer move for Lyon winger Malick Fofana, CaughtOffside understands. Spurs made a late move for Fofana in the summer transfer window, but this was rejected as Lyon didn't have enough time to sign a replacement. That's what sources with close ties to the agents industry have now informed CaughtOffside, as Tottenham are expected to try again for Fofana in January.
