Premier League transfer news: Manchester United superstar wanted on a loan deal, Neymar linked to the Premier League and more – November 29, 2018

Hello and welcome to the Premier League latest transfer news and rumours for the day! Here are the top stories we have tonight!

#5 Kante could leave

Wait, what? Didn’t he just sign a new deal with the Blues? Well, he must have just signed a new deal but things might not be all too great between him and manager Maurizio Sarri.

Ever since the Italian’s arrival, the Frenchman has been deployed as the right-central-midfielder with Jorginho taking the central role. According to Sarri, he prefers technical players in the middle, which is why Kante can’t play at the base of midfield.

His words haven’t gone down too well with former Chelsea star Tony Cascarino, who believes that Kante’s contract extension was to put off the other clubs from him while also adding that he is being “wasted” in his new role under the former Napoli manager.

“I don’t think Sarri’s comments about Kante being more technical were too much to be concerned about,” he said.

“I think the bigger issue with Kante is they have given him a new contract because they know so many clubs are sniffing around him, but he’s being played out of position. You feel he’s wasted.”

Cascarino then added that French giants PSG are interested in him because he is the best player in the holding midfield role.

As a result, he doesn’t think that his extension will be enough to keep him at the Stamford Bridge because he might consider leaving by the end of the season should he feel like he has had enough playing out of position.

“I think certainly PSG would be in for him as well as other clubs, and why wouldn’t they?

“He’s the best at his position in the world, without a doubt, for me. That’s why he signed a new deal, but I don’t believe it will be enough to keep him there if Kante plays in that position all season.

“I think by the end of the season he might have had enough, knowing he’s a far better player in the positions he is more accustomed to.”

#4 Andy Kings wants to leave Leicester City

Andy King has been frozen out at the King Power

Leicester City star Andy King wants to leave the club after being snubbed from the Carabao Cup squad, according to journalist John Percy. The Foxes’ longest-serving player has been overlooked numerous times so far this season.

And it does make sense. After all, Leicester City have better options for the team and his Carabao Cup snub is a perfect testament to that. Percy reports that the player is set to demand a move away from the club when the January transfer window opens.

“Andy King is set to demand a move away from Leicester in January after suffering another first-team snub,” Percy was quoted as saying.

"King, a Premier League title winner and Leicester’s longest-serving player, is set to bring an end to his 14-year association with the club when the transfer window reopens next year.”

#3 Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle United

Under linked to London

‘Under, over!’

This is what one of the commentators said after the Roma star failed to put the ball into the back of the net from three yards and pulled the ball over the goal instead against Real Madrid.

Had he scored at the time – it was just seconds before the half-time – Roma might have won the game against the Galacticos. Under came under scrutiny for it but that hasn’t stopped stories linking him to Chelsea.

According to GdS, via Sports Witness, Chelsea and Arsenal are interested in signing the Roma youngster, who has a release clause of over €50 million.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United have been linked with Miguel Almiron for over 18 months now and they might finally acquire his services in the winter. According to the Chronicle, Newcastle Head of Recruitment, Steve Nickson, has headed to the USA to talk about a potential transfer with his agent.

#2 Liverpool

Asensio has been out of form this season

Liverpool and Marco Asensio have been a story that has been making the rounds for a while now. The Reds had been linked with a move for him in the summer but it all turned out to be just whispers in the air.

However, according to Eduardo Inda, it might just have been a bit more than that. The senior Spanish journalist claimed that the Reds made a £160 million offer for him in the summer but Real Madrid rejected it because they had only just sold Cristiano Ronaldo.

Klopp, however, is still in love with him and might make an attempt to sign him in the summer of 2019, Inda added.

“This year, an offer of £160million came from Liverpool for Real Madrid for Asensio,” he said. “The club said no because Cristiano [Ronaldo] left, but Klopp is in love with the player and will go for the player next summer.”

#1 Manchester madness

Neymar wanted in the Premier League

And it is here once again – the number one spot for the number one team in terms of popularity, United, and quality, City, in England. Manchester United are almost always linked with flamboyant moves whenever the transfer window comes nears in.

Today is no different as Don Balon claim that the Red Devils – alongside their cousins Manchester City – are interested in Neymar have actually sent him their offers. The pair are willing to pay PSG over €200 million and will also make Neymar the highest-paid player in the world should he accept to join any of them.

Meanwhile, the other hot story of the day belongs to Tuttosport, who claim that Juventus want to bring Paul Pogba to Turin in January. Since signing him on a permanent basis is actually hard, the Old Lady want to sign him on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
