Premier League action returns today, but plenty of work is ongoing in the background ahead of next month’s January transfer window. Manchester United and Arsenal are among the clubs at the centre of speculation as the English top-flight enters the hectic winter period.
United are linked with strengthening different areas as the club gears up for Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s arrival once his £1.3billion deal for a 25 per cent stake is ratified.
But departures are more likely at Old Trafford. Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho are two of a handful of potential big-name departures.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are seemingly leading the heavyweight interest in Brentford striker Ivan Toney, with Chelsea and Tottenham also linked.
As for the latter, Ange Postecoglou is said to be eyeing centre-back reinforcements after losing Micky van de Ven through injury.
Manchester City and Liverpool appear to be Arsenal’s biggest title rivals and could also dip into the transfer market for welcome reinforcements midway through the campaign.
