Newcastle Face Strand Larsen Competition

Newcastle United could face competition from Tottenham Hotspur in their pursuit of Wolves striker Jørgen Strand Larsen. The 25-year-old Norway international has impressed this season, prompting renewed interest from Premier League clubs.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are actively searching for a new forward. This follows confirmation that the injury suffered by Mohammed Kudus is more serious than first feared.

Zirkzee Move Complicated by United Changes

In Italy, AS Roma are reassessing their interest in Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee. Roma director Ricky Massara said the situation changed after United sacked head coach Ruben Amorim.

As a result, Roma may delay any move until the situation at Old Trafford becomes clearer.

Chiesa Future Linked to Salah

Juventus remain interested in signing Federico Chiesa from Liverpool**. However, the deal may depend on whether Mohamed Salah stays at Anfield.

Napoli are also monitoring Chiesa’s situation. Nevertheless, Liverpool have not received any formal offers and are unlikely to allow the winger to leave in January.

Lewandowski, Upamecano and Milan Links

Robert Lewandowski does not want to leave Barcelona** in January. This is despite strong interest in the 37-year-old striker.

Elsewhere, Bayern Munich have offered Dayot Upamecano an improved contract extension. The defender’s current deal expires in the summer, although he remains relaxed about his future.

AC Milan are also tracking Bayern defender Kim Min-jae. However, any deal would require Bayern to help cover his wages.

Other Transfer Developments

Real Madrid youngster Endrick, currently on loan at Lyon, revealed that coach Carlo Ancelotti advised him to leave Madrid temporarily to gain first-team experience.

Meanwhile, striker Michail Antonio saw a proposed move to Leicester City collapse after suffering a muscle injury. The 35-year-old has not played since a car crash in December 2024.

Finally, South Korean forward Yang Min-hyeok, 19, is set to join Coventry City on loan from Tottenham, according to reports.
