Transfer News LIVE: Paulo Dybala makes decision on future, Arsenal manager latest
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are all being linked with moves for fresh faces as the New Year - and the new transfer window - fast approaches
Posted Friday, November 29, 2019 by Dailystar.co.uk
The first third of this Premier League season has given clubs and managers plenty to think about heading into the January transfer window.
With Liverpool riding high at the top of the table, Jurgen Klopp will be weighing up whether or not to add to his squad as they go for glory both at home and abroad, especially seeing as the Reds failed to make a major signing in the summer.
Manchester City might think that an addition or two will help them close the gap to the leaders, while Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers might think that one or two signings could consolidate a Champions League place.
Chelsea could yet be allowed to sign players depending on the result of the appeal against their ban, while Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham could all look to buy to get back in touch with the top four.
But who are all those sides and more getting linked with?
Follow all the latest as it happens throughout the day right here with Starsport...
Sean Dyche on Danny Drinkwater future
Burnley boss Sean Dyche says he doesn’t know if Danny Drinkwater will still be at the club in January.
Chelsea loanee Drinkwater has barely featured since joining the club in the summer, and was involved in a fight in nightclub in September.
Dyche told reporters:
“We haven’t really seen him.
“Of course we know him, we know what he does in training we’ve seen that but it’s the games, everyone gets judged on the games, I think he’s just part of that thinking.
“So I think it’s too early to worry about that, we want to see him get fit first and get on the pitch at some point and then take it from there.”
Llorente snubbed Boca switch
Fernando Llorente says he turned down Boca Juniors in order to join Napoli.
The former Tottenham forward, who appeared as a substitute in his side’s 1-1 draw at Anfield on Wednesday, told ESPN:
“They tried to sign me last summer. But I wanted to continue to play in Europe”

“I have a contract until 2021 and it is possible I prolong my engagement with the PSG.”
Jadon Sancho benched for breach of discipline
Jadon Sancho seems to be on the way out of Borussia Dortmund, with a host of clubs queuing up for the England international.

Real Madrid star pens new deal

Nuno no go, says Patricio
Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio says it is important that the club keep hold of Nuno amid supposed interest from Arsenal.
The Portuguese boss has been tipped to replace under-fire Unai Emery, who could be sacked if the Gunners don’t beat Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday.
Speaking ahead of their Europa clash with Braga, Patricio said:
“It’s very important to keep Nuno at the club, not only for the players but for the club as well.
“Stability is important at any club. Nuno is an outstanding coach and he’s also a leader.”
