LINDELOF IS MAN UNITED ‘PRIORITY’
At least that’s what we assume from a headline of ‘Lindelof prioridade e Mourinho’ on the front page of Portuguese newspaper O Jogo on Sunday. Delving within, it seems that Manchester United have already made contact with the representatives of centre-half Victor Lindelof, who is a key part of a Benfica defence who have conceded only five goals in 11 league games this season.
When asked about Lindelof recently, his fellow Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic said: “He is growing. Is he good enough for United? I think he’s good enough for the big clubs out there. It’s up to him what he wants and what the situation says.
“Whatever he chooses will be good for him. I know he is hot on the market so let him make the right choice, what fits him good.”
SAKHO WANTED BY THREE CLUBS
Of course, one of those clubs is West Brom, because there’s no way Tony Pulis can hear about the availability of a centre-half and not get involved. But the Daily Mirror say the Baggies face a battle with both AC Milan and Inter Milan for the Frenchman frozen out at Liverpool.
All three clubs want Mamadou Sakho on loan in January, it says in the Mirror. We suspect that West Brom will not win that particular fight.
AND THE REST
Championship trio Brentford, Fulham and Cardiff are all in the frame to sign Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom on loan…Crystal Palace keeper Steve Mandanda is eyeing a move to a ‘bigger club in England’…Everton manager Ronald Koeman is still keen on signing FC Copenhagen midfielder Thomas Delaney.
