      Manchester City appeared to always be in pole position for his signature, with Haaland reportedly jetting to Monaco for talks on several occasions before his switch.

      Nevertheless some fans joked it was a sign that Haaland could have been heading to the Emirates this summer.
      But none will be complaining about the addition of Gabriel Jesus instead, with the Brazilian firing Arsenal to the top of the league.

      Meanwhile another said: “He’s a Gooner through and through.”

      Others called for Haaland’s Norway team-mate Martin Odegaard to help get a deal over the line, with one writing: “Agent Odegaard.”
      Unfortunately for Arsenal fans, Haaland did end up opting for Man City instead.
      He’s scored an incredible 22 goals in just 16 games under Pep Guardiola.

      Ex-Celtic star Jeremie Frimpong ‘lined up by Premier League giants Manchester United’ as shock January transfer target

      by

      JEREMIE FRIMPONG has reportedly been lined up for a stunning move to the Premier League.Manchester United have been rumoured to be keeping an eye on the former City defender.
      Frimpong scored a double against Shalke earlier this month
      Frimpong joined Celtic back in 2019 under the rule of former boss Neil Lennon.
      The Dutch defender arrived at Parkhead with great promise after leaving the highly-rated Manchester City academy.
      And the youngster won everything there was to win in Scotland, claiming the Premiership title, the Scottish Cup and the League Cup.
      He even won the fans’ young player of the year award in 2020 for his performances in the green and white.
      He was then sold to Bayer Leverkusen for a cool £11.5 million in the summer of 2021 on a four year deal.
      But now his form in Germany has seen him linked with a footballing giant.
      Man U are now reportedly lining up a move for the Dutch defender, according to Sky Sports.
      They reckon that Red Devils boss Erik Ten Hag has Frimpong ‘on his radar’ as they look to strengthen in the right-back slot.
      Most read in Football
      Currently, England international Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diego Dalot have occupied that position.
      But with their lacklustre form, the Old Trafford side may be looking at other options in the January transfer window.
      Meanwhile, former Hoops boss Neil Lennon is ‘interested’ in the Northern Ireland job after they sacked Ian Baraclough yesterday.
      The former Celtic boss was shown the door by Omonia as the club blamed “competitive instability” over the last few months for their decision.
      But he is tipped to make a quick return to management.
      Scotland hero Alan Rough insists the former Hibs man is interested in taking over his national team.

      Speaking on the PLZ Football Show, he said: “They have a ready made replacement waiting in Neil Lennon. It remains to be seen whether he fancies it.
      “I’ve heard he is interested in it, yeah. He’s interested but it doesn’t mean he’s going to get it.”

      Bayern Munich shortlist Harry Kane as a ‘serious contender’ for transfer if Tottenham star decides not to renew contract

      by

      BAYERN MUNICH have reportedly made Harry Kane a “serious contender” as a top transfer target should he decide not renew his contract.The striker, who is closing in on becoming England’s all-time top scorer, has been in red-hot form for Tottenham this term.
      Fresh transfer rumours regarding Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Harry Kane have emergedCredit: Getty
      He goes into tonight’s showdown against Manchester United at Old Trafford with ten goals and two assists to his name already with Spurs third in the Premier League.
      The 29-year-old tried to force through a move to Manchester City just over a year ago but Spurs dug their heels in and kept their talisman.
      He was then linked with Bayern during the recent summer window, but once again Tottenham refused to do business and insisted that the star was going nowhere.
      However, speculation continues to rumble on over Kane’s future due to his contract ending in 2024.

      He would then be able to move abroad and leave for nothing, which could force Antonio Conte’s side to cash in at the end of this season rather than risk losing him on a free.
      A fresh report from Sky Germany is now claiming that Bayern are ready and waiting to swoop if no new deal is signed as they assessed recent transfer rumours regarding the Bundesliga giants.
      It also adds that Kane could be interested in order to achieve his ambition of winning silverware.
      The superstar, who is yet to make a decision on an extension, was asked ahead of last week’s Champions League match with Eintracht Frankfurt about the Bayern speculation.

      He has already won four Bundesliga titles with the German champions and penned a two-year extension in 2020 to keep him at the club until 2025.
      But according to Marca, Real have identified him as one of their major transfer targets.

      But aside from those goings on, Davies is high up on their agenda of potential deals.
      That is despite a turbulent couple of years for the youngster – who can play as a left winger in addition to his usual left-back role.

      Then during the Bundesliga side’s 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund last weekend, he sustained a cranial injury which saw him substituted at half-time.
