TOP STORY: Man United prepared to wait to land Eriksen on a free 

Manchester United are set to make a move for Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen … but not until the summer, the Telegraph reports.

In what could be one of next summer’s best deals, the paper claims that United are willing to move for the Danish playmaker once his Spurs contract expires at the end of the season, but have been put off a January move by his £40m pricetag.

The transfer would put an end to years of speculation surrounding Eriksen’s future, as the 27-year-old has repeatedly refused to sign a new deal at Spurs. The former Ajax man has previously been linked with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and Inter Milan but no club has yet come forward to snap him up.

09.28 GMT: David Moyes is the frontrunner to take over at West Ham, says TalkSPORT, after Manuel Pellegrini’s 18-month reign ended abruptly on Saturday as the Chilean was sacked.

Moyes steered the club to Premier League safety in 2017-18 before departing but the 56-year-old is evidently No. 1 choice to return.

09.00 GMT: World-class goalkeepers are hard to find, so it’s no major surprise that Bayern Munich, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are all looking at signing Germany stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen from Barcelona.

Mundo Deportivo reports that the 27-year-old is highly-rated and will be on the agenda of all three clubs this summer, especially with Bayern’s Manuel Neuer and Juve’s Gianluigi Buffon nearing the end of their careers.

Everton to block £70m Richarlison move

Carlo Ancelotti has started life well in his new job at Everton and the Italian manager is keen to keep an important piece of his puzzle: forward Richarlison.

The Sun claims that Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer “has been considering a swoop for the 22-year-old for months” but, having signed him to a new five-year deal last month, Everton hold all the cards over the Brazilian’s future.

Evidently even a bid of £70m won’t be enough to land Richarlison, with Ancelotti instead turning his attention to improving his own side with the signing of Barcelona’s £22m-rated defender Jean-Clair Todibo.

Giroud attracting attention

Juventus and Lyon could be the latest sides set to challenge Inter for Olivier Giroud‘s signature, according to Calciomercato.

The Italian publication claims that the powerful striker is Inter’s No. 1 target in their search for a backup to Romelu Lukaku. However, Inter’s Serie A rivals Juventus are now thought to be keen on signing Giroud, as are Lyon, who find themselves in the midst of an injury crisis.

MLS interest paves way for Pedro exit 

Chelsea winger Pedro is set to leave Stamford Bridge for MLS, with Inter Miami and New York City FC both interested in the Spaniard, Goal reports.

The 32-year-old has found games hard to come by of late, with Chelsea bolstered by a number of options in wide areas — including Callum Hudson-Odoi, Christian Pulisic and Willian. The West London side are also likely to strengthen that position in January, with their transfer ban now lifted.

Both factors could signal the end for Pedro at Chelsea, where he has been a key player since signing for the club in 2015. David Beckham’s Inter Miami are thought to be one of the interested parties in the former Barcelona man, who could be signed on a free transfer next summer.

Tap-ins

– When it rains it pours, and things could be about to get even worse for AC Milan, with league rivals Napoli attempting to pip them to the post to the signing of Celta Vigo midfielder Stanislav LobotkaCalciomercato reports that €25m could be enough to tempt the Spanish side into parting ways with their prized asset. While Milan remain determined to seal the transfer, the Italian site claims that Napoli are the frontrunners.

– The raiding of FC Salzburg’s talent pool looks set to continue next month, with both the Daily Mail and Sky Sports claiming that Hwang Hee-Chan is at the top of Wolves’ winter wishlist. German outlet Hamburger Morgenpost reported on Friday that a deal between Salzburg and Wolves for the striker was nearing completion. However, similar reports have since emerged in the English media, which instead state that Wolves remain merely interested as of now — with talks yet to get under way.
