Overview
- Alexander Isak remains intent on leaving Newcastle after director-level talks, with Liverpool’s reported £110m offer rejected and Newcastle valuing the striker far higher.
- Newcastle’s £50m proposal for Wolves forward Jørgen Strand Larsen was turned down before the Norwegian came off the bench to score twice in a 3-2 League Cup win over West Ham.
- Liverpool are pursuing Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi, but a gap persists between Liverpool’s c.£35m view and Palace’s c.£45m price as Palace weigh contract risk into next summer.
- Manchester United trailed 2-0 at League Two Grimsby in the Carabao Cup, with Bruno Fernandes visibly dismayed and an Andre Onana error contributing to the deficit.
- Napoli are working on a deal for Rasmus Hojlund despite the striker’s preference to stay at Manchester United, while talks for Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens are described by Belgian sources as close.
