Plus, Chelsea have unearthed another exciting wonderkid and the extent of Sandro Tonali's betting ban has been revealed. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Thriple threat

Man Utd and Liverpool have joined Arsenal in the pursuit of Real Sociedad defender Robin Le Normand.

But the French-born Spaniard isn't the only Sociedad star who could be set for a big move in January or the summer.

Chelsea eye 15-year-old

Chelsea are among the clubs keeping an eye on Fatawu Ganiwu, a 15-year-old midfielder compared to none other than Blues legend Michael Essien.

Tonali ban

Sandro Tonali may have played his final game for Newcastle this season after lining up against Dortmund in the Champions League. The Italian is set to serve a ten-month suspension for his illegal betting.

Barca's money-maker

Barcelona have harnessed the talent of La Masia graduates to beef up their ranks amid an injury crisis, but the academy could, more importantly, become a gold mine for the cash-strapped club.

One of La Masia's best-ever products, for example, could be heading to England to help Barca balance the books.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Real Madrid are desperately trying to sign one of Europe's deadliest strikers.

Los Blancos are also in 'pole position' to sign Jamal Musiala.

Chelsea are plotting a big-money striker signing in January - but it could be a mistake.

Speaking of mistakes, Liverpool must strengthen in one position lest they want to repeat a fatal error of the past.

A former Reds player has been suspended by his club after getting into a brawl with his coach.

Real Madrid have been given a guarantee by Kylian Mbappe's mother and agent that he will sign for them.

Lastly, Harry Maguire's surprising recent form could force Erik ten Hag to rethink his Man Utd transfer plans.
