Chelsea Step Up Interest in Koundé
Chelsea have reportedly made formal enquiries about Barcelona defender Jules Koundé, according to journalist Matteo Moretto, speaking to MARCA. The Blues have long admired the France international, having come close to signing him before Barcelona won the race in 2022.
United Step Up Interest in Belgian Defender
Manchester United have reportedly made contact with Club Brugge over left-back Joaquin Seys, according to TEAMtalk. The 21-year-old is said to be a serious option as the Red Devils look to solve a problem position at Old Trafford.
Why United Need a Left-Back
Sheringham Backs Kostoulas Move
Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham has urged his old club to sign Brighton forward Charalampos Kostoulas, believing the 19-year-old is heading for a £100million price tag.
Kostoulas joined from Olympiacos last year and was a rotation option in his first season, with three goal contributions. Danny Welbeck’s summer departure has changed that, and the Greece international has started regularly, registering four goal involvements in six games.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in Espanyol forward Roberto Fernandez, according to TEAMtalk. The 24-year-old has made an excellent start to the La Liga season.
Fernandez’s Impressive La Liga Form
Fernandez joined Espanyol on loan from Sporting Braga in January 2025, with the move made permanent that summer. He contributed 10 goals and assists last term, but this season he has netted six times in seven league games. That form earned him a Spain call-up from Luis de la Fuente.
Reds Monitoring Manchester City Situation
Liverpool are reportedly ready to move for Manchester City playmaker Rayan Cherki should the Premier League champions face severe punishment. City were found guilty of 114 charges during the international break, and sanctions could follow in the coming weeks, which would threaten the future of several key players at the Etihad Stadium.
