Plus, Chelsea and a host of Premier League giants target a wonderkid duo and what is going on with Kylian Mbappe and Liverpool? There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Exclusive: Liverpool not in for Mbappe

FootballTransfers has been told that Kylian Mbappe is fully focused on succeeding in the Champions League with PSG and that there is nothing to reports Liverpool are preparing an offer for the Frenchman.

This comes after an outlet claimed that the Reds and Arsenal had begun checking the feasibility of attempting to sign the PSG in 2024.

With him out of contract in the summer, it begs the question: Will PSG sell in January?

Exclusive: Everton, Palace eye McAteer

Everton and Crystal Palace are interested in signing Leicester winger Kasey McAteer, FootballTransfers can reveal.

Man Utd's transfer plans

Man Utd's hopes of advancing from the Champions League group stage took a hit when they were held to a 3-3 draw by Galatasaray, with Andre Onana committing two major howlers.

If they were to dip into the market for another new keeper, they would have to pay at least €35m for an ideal target.

The chaotic game again illustrated the Red Devils' biggest weakness in Europe: their defence.

This issue could be solved by a €100m man and the Red Devils will attempt to strike a deal despite it being described as 'complicated.'

One positive was Alejandro Garnacho, who again outshone Antony.

The latter continues to cement his status as a massive flop and Erik ten Hag is looking at a potential upgrade.

Indeed, the Dutchman is keen to bring in as many as four new faces in January.

Summer loanee Sofyan Ambrabat, however, is a player potentially getting sacrificed and he likely won't stay at United beyond this season.

Wonderkid brothers eyed

English Ajax talents Charlie and Tommy Setford are being eyed by several Premier League giants, including Chelsea and Liverpool.

Chelsea's plans

Chelsea are officially out of the race to sign Gabriel Moscardo.

This has led to a shift in their focus and they will now try to bring in a new striker, while also recalling on their myriad loanees.

Long-time target Victor Osimhen could become available as Napoli have begun shopping for his replacement.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is wanted by Arsenal and Man Utd, but he must stay at Dortmund to avoid becoming the next Jadon Sancho.

Three European giants are interested in signing Mason Greenwood.

The ideal club for sought-after midfielder Douglas Luiz has been revealed.

Man Utd face Tottenham competition for three targets.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has been described as 'average' along with several other Gunners players.

Lastly, Chelsea have made their stance on selling Armando Broja clear.
