Wanted: Moussa Dembele
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is making preparations for Manchester United’s January transfer window.
According to the Daily Mail, United scouts have been keeping a keen eye on Lyon striker Moussa Dembele.
The former Fulham forward has been linked to United to replace Romelu Lukaku, who joined Inter Milan in August, and give their Norwegian boss more options upfront.
Dembele, 23, has scored 20 goals in 37 league appearances in his native country since leaving Celtic Park in 2018, including four in five this season.
Neymar contract extension
PSG are supposedly preparing a lucrative new contract for superstar Neymar.
That’s according to French publication Le10 Sport, who claim sporting director Leonardo has already spoken with the Brazilian forward about extending his stay.
The 27-year-old already earns an astronomical £630k per week at the Parc Des Princess.
It’s claimed Neymar’s decision will be influenced by Barcelona’s financial fair play situation and whether or not they can cough up PSG’s £273million valuation.
Sign Koulibaly!
Arsenal should try to sign Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
That’s according to former Gunners midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong, who believes the towering centre-back would make a big impact on Unai Emery’s side.
“I watched the game against Watford and it wasn’t good. Our defence is certainly weaker, when you compare it to Liverpool or Manchester City,” Frimpong told Meta Ratings.
“David Luiz has been making some mistakes, and in my opinion, there’s little difference between Luiz and Mustafi; I would rather see Callum Chambers selected.
“They need to be buying better defenders, like Koulibaly, who can make a big impact on Arsenal’s team.”
