Tottenham Hotspur could launch a bold bid for Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers in January, according to reports. The midfielder is valued at £100 million, which would make his signing difficult for Spurs, despite Villa’s recent issues with Premier League financial sustainability rules. Chelsea also remains interested in the 23-year-old player.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is pushing to retain Andrey Santos amid strong interest from the Saudi Pro League. Saudi club Al-Qadsiah made a £59.5 million bid for the Brazilian, who prefers to stay in Europe. However, with Santos behind Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo in Chelsea’s pecking order, he could leave in January to seek more playing time. Sevilla is looking to free up salary space to finance a possible signing of Hakim Ziyech. The Moroccan international has been without a club since leaving Al Duhail this summer, and Sevilla is a possible destination. However, the Spanish club will first have to sell a goalkeeper for Ziyech’s signing to be financially viable. Everton are ready to begin talks with star goalkeeper Jordan Pickford over a new contract. The current contract of the England international expires in June 2027, but he has expressed his desire to remain at Goodison Park. Everton will also review the futures of James Tarkowski, James Garner and Vitaliy Mykolenko, whose contracts expire next summer.
