Transfer Rumours January Transfer rumours

@brb @Tobes Can we sticky this until the window closes, please.

First rumour I'm seeing is that Chelsea are looking at our former player, Josh Maja, who is at Bordeaux. It interests me because we have a 10% sell-on clause. He's a great finisher and I think he'd be decent back-up to Abraham.


Chelsea are reportedly weighing up a January move for former Sunderland striker Josh Maja.

The 20-year-old frontman has caught the eye of scouts this season, scoring six times for Bordeaux so far, including a hat-trick in a 6-0 victory over Nimes earlier this month.

Blues boss Frank Lampard wants to add competition to his Stamford Bridge squad with the transfer embargo now lifted on the club, and knows he needs players to challenge Tammy Abraham up front, with Maja a reported option.

If Chelsea - or any side - do make a move for Maja in the next transfer window, Sunderland could be set for a boost of their own

As we reported earlier this year, the Black Cats are believed to have inserted a 10 per cent sell-on clause into the deal when Maja swapped Wearside for Ligue 1 in January 2019, meaning any move will have a knock-on benefit.

Maja struck 16 goals in all competitions for Sunderland before leaving near the end of last January's window for a £1.5m - a price which could rise to £3.5m.

He only scored once for Bordeaux in the remainder of the season, but his form this term has attracted scouts from around Europe.

Speaking after his recent treble, Maja said: "I feel good and I am very happy to get my first hat-trick for Bordeaux, and in my career.

"Of course, it's a great night for the team also as we picked up three points and played very well. We're going to keep working hard and go into the next game confident."

Liverpool transfer target Takumi Minamino may now have played his last game for Red Bull Salzburg.

The 24-year-old Japanese playmaker impressed in both games this season as the Reds took on the Austrians in the group stages of the Champions League and is set to become a Liverpool player on January 1st, subject to passing a medical.

 

Leicester City will look to strengthen their attack options with the addition of Jarrod Bowen in January, reports the Daily Mirror.

The Foxes are leading the race to sign the 22-year-old Hull City forward, who has scored 15 goals in the Championship this season.

Leicester face competition from Newcastle, Southampton and Leeds for Bowen’s signature.

 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has refused to be drawn on reports linking Manchester United with Salzburg striker Erling Braut Haaland with January move to United - but hinted the player has made a decision over his future.

Speaking after a 1-1 draw with Everton, Solskjaer said: "I don't comment on them speculations so that's it.

"He (Haaland) knows what he wants to do and he knows what he's going to do. So I don't have to give any advice to any other teams' players."

 

Manchester City have intensified their interest in trying to re-sign Jadon Sancho and are actively pursuing a deal for the England man, according to the Daily Mail.

Sancho, who left City to join Dortmund in 2017, is still only 19, and the German club are reportedly bracing themselves for his exit, searching for his successor already.

 

Anyone wanna buy a right back or a goalkeeper?

 

We can't afford them but we'll take them from you if you'll also subsidise their wages

 

How about we write off the transfer fee and you lot sort the wages?

We've got a relegation to prepare for.

 

You want Wanyama back bro? I give you good price.

 

I hope we get shot of Eriksen. I’d rather we get something for him and move on, than see him move for free in the Summer.

I would love to replace him with Dybala, but I can’t see that happening in the January window.

Others could be Duba, Odegaard, Olomo, Rodriguez, or Golovin.

 

Unless he's willing to take shirt buttons for wages then I'm going to have to say no bruv.

 

Haaland must have dreadfully low expectations. Sad little ****

 

Yeah not sure we can take them from you. Sorry.

 

He looks a decent player, though...

 

@PISKIE Arteta to the Goons?

 

We got an absolute bargain with the release clause of Minamino. Easily RB Salzburg best player over our recent group games.

7.25 million done deal is ridiculous tbh.

 

Haaland would be reunited with Ole if he come here, I’m sure the fee is something like £19m so not much of a gamble in today’s money.

Alongside Rashford, Martial, Greenwood and James we’d have a decent young forward line for Andreas Pereira to boot the ball over.

 

Looks an amazing talent tbf.
Only a retard would move to be reunited with someone so close to leaving the club with his P45. Is he a retard?

 

What?

 

Why would he want to be reunited with Ole when in reality Ole won't be Utd manager for much longer?

I hope Ole stays but he isn't anywhere near good enough.

Haaland would be a great signing either way.
