Today’s fluff is still coming to terms with things
Back to the really important stuff, right?
Manchester United have woken up feeling horribly smug because they fancy their chances of prising Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund next month and, despite rival clubs queuing up for the teenager, Ole Gunnar Solskjær believes he is first in line. It all bodes well for United, who also want to take Christian Eriksen from
Tottenham, though they could have more trouble convincing the Dane that the bright lights of Manchester beats Madrid.
Chelsea are dead keen on Wilfried Zaha but Frank Lampard may have to shell out more than half of the £150m Roman Abramovich has set aside for January, with Crystal Palace demanding in excess of £80m for the winger. Failing that, it says here that
Chelsea could exercise a handy buyback option to sign another Ivory Coast international: Sassuolo’s Jérémie Boga, who they could bring back to Stamford Bridge for a measly £3.5m.
Barcelona, too, are said to be interested in the winger, so much so they have sent a delegation to Milan, a neutral venue, to make their feelings known.
