Plus, Man Utd's January transfer plans are taking shape and Napoli's stance on a Victor Osimhen transfer has been revealed in light of the ongoing coaching turmoil at the club. There's plenty to cover so let's jump right in.

Chelsea in trouble

The Blues could be hit with a points deduction because of Roman Abramovich's dodgy running of the club prior to Todd Boehly's takeover.

Man Utd's transfer plans

The uncertainty as to when exactly Sir Jim Ratcliffe's investment will take place has forced Man Utd to get creative and target a bargain striker for January.

Jadon Sancho continues to be linked with Juventus, but it would take an awful lot for a deal to materialise.

Indeed, it is said that Ratcliffe wants Erik ten Hag to bring the outcast back into the fold.

Ten Hag has identified a replacement for massive flop Antony, but it won't involve a big-money transfer.

Speaking of Antony, it has been claimed that his style of play is the reason why Rasmus Hojlund has not yet scored a goal in the Premier League.

The young striker is currently sidelined with injury - but for how long will he be out?

Finally, Man Utd are said to be open to offloading a key player in January.

Osimhen stance

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Napoli still don't intend on selling Victor Osimhen in January despite the chaos engulfing the club - but a summer move is a different question.

However, by that point, another Nigerian striker may well have overtaken Osimhen as Europe's most sought-after forward.

Arsenal's summer sales

Several high-profile names departed Arsenal in the summer, but how have they fared since leaving the Emirates? Let's investigate.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. A former Chelsea player has been given a reality check by his club's president as he finds himself in the midst of a terrible scoring drought.

Speaking of ex-Chelsea players, Romelu Lukaku has been hailed as a world-class striker by a Blues legend.

A Chelsea target, who is also being watched by Liverpool, has his heart set on moving to Real Madrid.

Arsenal have been alerted to the potential availability of a long-time target.

Liverpool have been urged to sign the 'next Trent Alexander-Arnold.'

Barcelona have received a tempting offer for their two on-loan Joaos, Felix and Cancelo.

Arsenal's number-one January target has been dropped for his poor form.

Lastly, Chelsea and Arsenal have been tipped to break a long-standing transfer record in their bid to land a Brazilian wonderkid.
