I can't imagine Napoli will be open to letting Scott McTominay leave. He's such a key man for them. He's their talisman right now in that Napoli side, especially now with Kevin De Bruyne out injured. They'll need to keep hold of their best players and McTominay is definitely that. Four goals in 11 appearances this season (as of 30 October) and Napoli are top of Serie A again.
According to Sport, Oriol Romeu has secured his next move after leaving Barcelona, returning to England to join Southampton. The 34-year-old midfielder, who terminated his contract with the Catalans at the end of the summer transfer window, will sign a short-term deal until the end of the season, with an option for an additional year. Romeu, a club legend at Southampton after seven successful seasons there, is expected to help the team fight against relegation in the Championship. He will travel to England shortly for a medical and to finalize the agreement.
Akanji, who was linked with Tottenham prior to his Inter Milan move, has revealed (via Fabrizio Romano) that he wants to remain at the Nerazzurri on the permanent basis, thus making it clear that he has no intention of returning to Man City next summer. We will see I hope Inter will buy me on permanent deal. I feel very good here. I will give my best and then we will see.
Obviously, it's not been the ideal start for Trent Alexander-Arnold over at Real Madrid. He's had his injury problems, he's just recently recovered and was on the bench for El Classico. It does look like he will probably get more opportunities in the starting XI in the upcoming weeks with Dani Carvajal having knee surgery. Liverpool are missing him, no doubt they're missing his creativity, but I don't think Alexander-Arnold is thinking about leaving Real Madrid any time soon.
When Chelsea shelled out 40 million to sign Cole Palmer from Manchester City at the start of the 2023/24 season, not everyone was convinced by the move. Some baulked at the price tag for such a young player who had shown promise at City, but not been able to nail down a regular starting place, while others believed it was a risk worth taking.
Freed by Napoli's front-foot approach and the abundance of service from creative midfielders and wide men, the Dane has shown form that made Man United sign him in the first place. The goals have arrived in varied fashion, first-time finishes, surges in transition, and decisive touches in crowded areas, showing that he has managed to rediscover his form and confidence.
Manager Thomas Frank, who has enjoyed an excellent start to life in North London, is eager to add further attacking depth as Spurs continue to push near the top of the Premier League table. Bowen, one of West Ham's most consistent and influential players in recent years, has emerged as a prime target to strengthen Tottenham's frontline as Frank looks to elevate his side into genuine title contention.
The 26-year-old Denmark International has done quite well for the Portuguese club, and he should prove to be an excellent addition for both clubs. Man United could use Morten Hjulmand Manchester United need more quality and depth in the middle of the park. They could use more physicality and defensive cover on the side. It remains to be seen whether they can bring the Danish International to the club.
Liverpool attacker Federico Chiesa is likely to be sold in the coming months. According to a report from Fichajes, manager Arne Slot does not view him as a key player in his system and is ready to let the Italian International leave. The report claims that Chiesa could be sold in January or at the end of the season. Meanwhile, recent reports have also claimed that Liverpool could look to keep Chiesa at the club.
Although Cristhian Mosquera has only recently arrived at Arsenal, the young Spanish defender has already hinted that a return to Valencia may not be off the table in his future. According to Marca, the 21-year-old has spoken fondly of his former club and left the door open for a possible homecoming one day, even as he continues to establish himself in the Premier League with the Gunners.
In a somewhat surprising and fast developing story Christopher Nkunku has joined Milan from Chelsea. The forward who has a history of scoring ability, having been Bundesliga top scorer with RB Leipzig back in 2021-2022, had been a PSG prospect and player before moving to Germany. Chelsea paid the German team 60 million for the Frenchman two years ago. He joins the team in the final days of the window with the team very much in need of his direct central strengths.
Adrien Rabiot has joined Milan in what is a last minute signing for a player Allegri knows and likes. The midfield is one position that most would agree has been strengthened with the likes of Modric, Jashari and Ricci joining Fofana, Loftus-Cheek. Rabiot adds further strength with the departures of the likes of Musah opening up a spot for another player.
I spoke a lot with Luis Enrique that season, Pedro tells FourFourTwo. It was the Barca of the three beasts up front Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez and it wasn't easy to get minutes. The coach was honest, he told me I wasn't going to play much, and the best thing for my interests, given how ambitious I was, was to leave.
Zubimendi sang La Bachata by Manuel Turizo, and found settling in at Arsenal absolutely fine after having to get through that awkward hurdle! The worst thing in football, he said. I had to sing: I did La Bachata, by Manuel Turizo. Horrible, horrible.

The 26-year-old has settled in superbly at the Emirates Stadium, instantly becoming a hugely important player for his new club.
Camavinga is a top performer and still only 22. Real Madrid love him, but within the Bernabeu, they know they can't keep a player who isn't playing especially when he has other top clubs who would readily take him, Bailey said. He is one to keep an eye on. There are a few big names under Xabi Alonso that could very well be on the move in 2026.
Absolutely no worries whatsoever, they're [Arsenal] delighted with him [Eberechi Eze] and how he's settled. He's everything they thought he would be. Every fan wants a new signing to hit Ballon d'Or form immediately, but that's not always realistic. Arsenal are in a great place, and they're very happy with Eze. He's adapting well to the system and getting used to his teammates. From what I'm told, they couldn't be happier with his progress. He's exactly the type of player and character they thought they were buying.
