Football rumours from the media
Could a Brazilian be ready to smash oppositions in England?
What the papers say
Brazilian Hulk could soon appear in the Premier League after leaving his current club. The 34-year-old has finished with Shanghai SIPG following a four-year stint and the Sun says the forward is considering a move to England on a free transfer in January.
Newcastle have been given a peek at a future that includes Jetro Willems. The Chronicle reports Eintracht Frankfurt want to sign the left wing-back to a new contract when his expires next summer. But the 26-year-old has told the club he is not interested, paving the way for him to sign a pre-contract agreement with the Magpies in January. The Holland international spent time at St James’ Park from August 2019 and suffered a serious knee injury in January 2020.
Fabinho‘s status as an Anfield “untouchable” appears certain to grow. The 27-year-old is contracted until 2023 and the Guardian reports Liverpool want to sign him until 2025 or 2026, with the Brazil international set for a pay bump on his next deal.
