Man Utd plot double sale as Arsenal offer White contract and Liverpool eye Malen
Seven Man Utd transfers Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants answers for as trio set for January exits
Premier League clubs and those across the globe are gearing up for the January transfer window, as the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are busy at work as they attempt to improve their squads for the second half of the season.
Erik ten Hag’s outfit are hoping to make as many as four signings in January, while Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek have recently been linked with exits to Juventus as the Serie A giants could make a double swoop.
Chelsea are looking to bolster their frontline despite a £1billion-plus outlay since Todd Boehly and co took over at Stamford Bridge last year. Victor Osimhen’s name is at the top of Mauricio Pochettino’s shortlist for a striker, while Napoli have already made succession plans to replace the Nigerian forward, if the Blues do break their transfer record once again.
Arsenal also hold an interest in Osimhen as a forward addition is also being considered at the Emirates, while Brentford’s Ivan Toney has been linked with a move to north London.

Liverpool eye £51m Malen
Liverpool and particularly boss Jurgen Klopp are reportedly pressing to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Donyell Malen.
Klopp has been a fan of the Dutchman for several years and he would cost as much as £51million to make the jump to the Premier League.
Bild have claimed that Klopp has Malen in his sights, after the player recently changed his agents and he could be the Reds’ Mohamed Salah replacement should the Egyptian leave for Saudi Arabia.
Arsenal offer White contract
Arsenal are in advanced talks to tie defender Ben White down to a long-term contract in north London.
That’s according to The Sun, as Takehiro Tomiyasu is also in discussions over committing his future to the Gunners.
White has two-and-a-half years left on his current deal but the club are keen to tie him down.
United double deal
Manchester United duo Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek are reportedly nearing January exits to Juventus.
The Serie A club are interested in both United outcasts and are likely to take at least the Dutchman on loan for the remainder of the season.
The Red Devils have previously stressed that they want to sell Sancho outright rather than a loan, with a fee of around £30million mooted.
