Today’s fluff is the only bee in your bonnet
Liverpool are monitoring Bournemouth’s 25-year-old mobile assist factory Ryan Fraser, whose contract runs out at the end of the season, and might even be able to snag him in January, reports the Sun. “Liverpool loaned winger Harry Wilson to Bournemouth in the summer and the south coast side may be keen to make the move permanent with a swap,” it trills. The
Liverpool Echo, however, insists that Jürgen Klopp is “more than happy with the attacking options at his disposal” and has no plans for a mid-season move for Fraser or anyone else. It continues its joyless rumour-busting by adding that a previously trailed move for Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Denis Zakaria will also not happen, as Klopp “will continue to work with the wealth of options available to him in midfield”. Bah.
Manchester United are keeping an eye on the Ajax goalkeeper André Onana, with their interest in a potential summer move for the 23-year-old suggesting that David de Gea’s time at Old Trafford might finally be creeping towards a conclusion. In further goalkeeping news, Crystal Palace and Brighton are both monitoring the Slovan Bratislava gloveman Dominik Greif, insists the Mail, with both clubs sending their goalkeeping coaches to watch the Slovakian in action against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Europa League last week. Apparently the 22-year-old impressed them both, and they will “continue to monitor” him over the next couple of months before deciding on a potential swoop.
