What the papers say
Real Madrid may be making a move for Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen who is out of contract in the summer, but the LaLiga side will need to free up space in their squad first according to the Daily Mirror. The paper reports that Isco is most likely to make way, with Chelsea offered to sign the Spain midfielder for £44million.
One player who could be moving to north London is Issa Diop, reports the Daily Express. Diop, 22, previously played at Toulouse before shifting to West Ham in 2018 and the Hammers will be looking for £50million for their centre-back.
Manchester United will be taking part in the January sales, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looking to offload Nemanja Matic and Marcos Rojo when the transfer window reopens, according to the Daily Mirror.
