"David knows how to play football," "He might not have that determination and ferocity, in his view every match is the same, he has this nice boy aura, but maybe he needs a bit more experience to be more determined. That is where he has to improve. Apart from the goal, the match is a box you need to fill with other things too, otherwise the opponents force you to scramble in defence."

After having endured a difficult last season at FC Barcelona, Ansu Fati left the club in the summer to join AS Monaco on a year-long loan. Having had a slow start, the La Masia forward burst into form and scored some important goals for the Ligue 1 outfit. But with the managerial change, his standing within the team went down again, stopping him from building on his promising form.

SportsBoom has revealed that Manchester City and Manchester United are both closely monitoring Mateus Fernandes, the highly rated 21-year-old midfielder currently emerging as one of West Ham United's few bright sparks in a difficult season. The Hammers are locked in a tense relegation battle, and Fernandes' contract reportedly contains a relegation release clause, a detail that has alerted multiple elite clubs.

Marc Casado has endured a difficult season at FC Barcelona this season, having found minutes extremely hard to come by under Hansi Flick. The 22-year-old starlet enjoyed his breakthrough during the last campaign, but has been reduced to a marginal role this time around. After all, the likes of Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Bernal, and even Eric Garcia are now ahead of him in the pecking order. With Gavi's return from injury imminent, Casado's prospects will likely get even bleaker.

Don't count on me for soap operas. There are many good soap operas, but they take too long. Then you miss an episode or two and you lose track. Don't count on me, I don't watch soap operas.

I hope he stays. My opinion is clear, but in football you never know what can happen,

Tottenham Hotspur remain interested in signing Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace. The player is on the radar of both Manchester United and Chelsea. However, a report from TeamTalk claims that Tottenham will pursue the England international midfielder at the end of the season and are prepared to submit a very significant offer. The 21-year-old is one of the most talented young players in the Premier League and could be a long-term asset for Tottenham.

The Italian international has established himself as one of the best defenders in European football right now, and he could be an outstanding addition for Liverpool. The player is open to a transfer this year, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool can get the deal done. Apart from Bastoni, Liverpool are looking at Nico Schlotterbeck as well. The Borussia Dortmund defender has been linked with an exit in recent months.

Loftus-Cheek has struggled with injuries, and it's also fair to say his versatility has possibly worked against him at times, as he's never really nailed down one position. Still, it seems Newcastle now have an interest in bringing Loftus-Cheek back to the Premier League, according to TEAMtalk, with intermediaries discussing a possible loan move.

Liverpool and Chelsea may be interested to hear that Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is reportedly keen to offload Ronald Araujo in a squad overhaul. The Uruguay international has mostly been a key player for Barca in recent years, but it seems he is no longer considered a player trusted by Flick for the long term. As previously reported on the Daily Briefing, Araujo has had admiring glances from clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea,

We are working very hard every day to get Wolves out of this situation. The season ends in May and there is still a long way to go. We ask the fans to keep believing in us because we are very committed to changing the situation the team is in.

According to a report from Bolavip, Manchester United are interested in the player and have been closely following his progress. They will face competition from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Yan Diomande has been linked with multiple clubs in recent weeks. The Ivorian attacker has been outstanding for RB Leipzig, and he has attracted the attention of clubs like Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Barcelona. He was quite impressive during the AFCON as well. According to Fichajes, he is likely to cost around 100 million (85m), and the three clubs could compete for his signature. The 19-year-old would be a long-term acquisition for all three clubs, but the asking price could be a major problem.

Rangers have agreed a loan fee with Wolfsburg for Andreas Skov Olsen, with the winger on his way to Glasgow to complete the deal. (Tipsbladet - in Danish), external Rangers are increasingly confident they will land Andreas Skov Olsen on loan and that they can strike a deal to make it permanent by negotiating an option to buy for much less than the 12m Wolfsburg paid Club Brugge a year ago.

When it was reported that Milan were making a move towards Nkunku, many were left confused. The striker was not a cheap addition, yet he was the complete opposite of what Massimiliano Allegri had requested for months prior. Another technical player to add to the attack, instead of a physical profile, it was certainly a strange choice to make, especially considering the big fee. So, when he struggled to hit the ground running in Italy, those doubts were only made to look more reasonable.

Silva has spent the past nine seasons with Manchester City, recently having the captaincy bestowed upon him by similarly long-serving boss Pep Guardiola. According to the controversial figure, Cesc Fabregas' impressive Como outfit could be Silva's next club. Like other top players who are no longer very young, he could come to our league, Di Canio said after suggesting Silva's agency Gestifute, headed by super agent Jorge Mendes, have reportedly been exploring the possibility of moving their client to Italy.

Tottenham striker Mathys Tel is reportedly not happy with his lack of playing time at Spurs and could be open to listening to offers to move this January.

Semenyo has been heavily linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium for several weeks, with reports suggesting that Man City have already made significant progress, not only in negotiations with Bournemouth, but also in discussions with the player himself. Multiple outlets have claimed that Semenyo has informed Bournemouth of his desire to join City, driven primarily by the opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola, a manager renowned for improving attacking talent.

The operation will not be straightforward for any club attempting to take Ake out of Manchester during this winter window. The Dutch international is under contract until June 2027 and earns a high salary. One of the main obstacles for Barcelona is that Man City would only listen to offers in the region of €20 million and are unlikely to agree to a loan deal. In addition, other Premier League clubs are also closely monitoring Ake's situation.

Mario Gila's agent has attempted to cool some of the rumours about a mid-season move to AC Milan, by reiterating that his focus is on Lazio. Signing another centre-back is one of Milan's missions in the winter window, even if Igli Tare claimed before the recent win over Cagliari that the current defensive options are enough for the rest of the season. Various names have been linked, but one more than most: Mario Gila.

There are a hundred ways to answer that question, and Karl probably chose the worst one. Yes, he is 17. Yes, footballers are not known for their intelligence. But with that one comment he has sealed a narrative that will follow him for the rest of his career. If Lennart Karl becomes a star with Bayern Munich, the first reaction will be - "When is he going to Madrid?"
