In other transfer news, young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, 20, has expressed a desire to leave Manchester United in January for more regular playing time. His loan request was denied by the club last summer, and he is now considering other options.

Meanwhile, Chelsea has been in contact regarding Turkey forward Kenan Yildiz, 20. Juventus has rebuffed an offer from Chelsea and values the young forward at 80-100 million euros, approximately £70-87 million.

Chelsea is also weighing a move for 22-year-old French defender Ismael Doukoure from Strasbourg, another team owned by BlueCo. Several Premier League clubs have shown interest in Doukoure.

Aston Villa is keen on securing England forward Jadon Sancho, 25, on a permanent basis. Sancho is currently playing on loan from Manchester United.
