Wrexham plot Leeds raid in January transfer window

Patrick Bamford is not considered to be a realistic target for Wrexham, but Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are plotting an alternative Leeds raid, according to Wrexham Insider.

The report further claims: "Patrick Bamford is an interesting name, but from what I am told Leeds are not in a huge hurry to lose anyone this January, it is all about promotion for them. And whilst Wrexham have a big budget, I don't see how they could afford Bamford who is still on a Premier League contract. I do expect Wrexham to do something and I am actually told they could raid Leeds for another player, as they like Joe Gelhardt, although they are not alone and it would not easy to land him either. But I understand Wrexham have been offered a host of names and are confident of getting the right man."

Carragher makes Anfield transfer prediction

USMNT star Antonee Robinson is "top of the list" when it comes to January transfer targets at Liverpool, claims Reds legend Jamie Carragher.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said: "He was outstanding. He was the best player on the pitch. When you are going to Anfield and you are playing against Mo Salah – possibly the best player in the Premier League this season – and you come out of it with a Man of the Match award, that shows you how highly he is thought of. Yes, I think Liverpool probably will be shopping for a left-back in January and I'm sure he will be top of the list."

Why Salah and Trent may consider Liverpool exit?

Ex-Liverpool defender Neil Ruddock has explained why Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold may consider leaving Anfield in 2025.

Speaking to FourFourTwo, Ruddock said: "Players come to the end of their contracts but I'm sure they've been talking, you don't leave it until after Christmas, I'm sure there's a lot going on.

"I'm sure Liverpool are trying their hardest to keep the three of them there, but as a footballer, you can't blame them if they want to taste playing abroad, playing for Real Madrid – for a young player like Trent, you can't really blame him. For the older lads like Salah, I can also understand. Why would you stay a couple more years if you don't think you're going to be the player you were and you lose that hero status?"

Fernandes cried when Spurs move collapsed prior to joining Man Utd

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes cried when he found out that his proposed move to Tottenham Hotspur from Sporting CP collapsed.

The Portuguese midfielder had agreed to move to north London and join Spurs in the summer of 2019 and was set to join the club until a deal collapsed between the clubs. The fee had been agreed, but Spurs were unwilling to meet Sporting CP's demands as to the structure of the deal and pulled out of a move - leaving Fernandes in Portugal and, the Daily Mail reports, in tears in his chairman's office.
