      by

      TOTTENHAM’S bid to sign Sporting Lisbon star Pedro Porro could be sabotaged by two of Spurs’ own players, according to reports.The club appear keen to bring in the wing-back and are reportedly preparing a bid worth near to his £37million release clause.

      However, the signing of the right-sided player could provide manager Antonio Conte with a major headache.
      Spurs still have Emerson and Matt Doherty and with both in the squad there could be no space for Porro.
      Emerson has previously attracted interest from Atletico Madrid and Roma, although the player is happy in North London, report the Evening Standard.
      The Brazilian has not started a game for Spurs since the World Cup break with Doherty being selected ahead of him.

      Therefore, Conte is unlikely to want to offload the Irishman.
      Tottenham also have a third option for the right-wing-back position, Djed Spence, who they signed for £20m from Middlesbrough in the summer.
      The 22-year-old has not started a league match for the club since his switch and he could reportedly leave on loan with Wolves keen.
      If Tottenham want to seal the deal for Porro they could have to move quickly with Chelsea also monitoring him.

      They see the 23-year-old Spaniard as perfect competition for Reece James.

      Caicedo has been vital to their success so far this campaign, but it is reported his glistening performances have made him the target of some of the league’s biggest clubs.
      Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is said to have turned his attention to a replacement for the Ecuadorian in the shape of Yasin Ayari.
      According to Sportbladet, the club are interested in bringing the 19-year-old central midfielder to the Amex.
      Ayari plies his trade in his native Sweden with Allsvenskan side AIK Solna, where he has already made 47 first team appearances.

      If Brighton are to sign the youngster it may make those interested in luring away Caicedo feel a deal is more plausible.
      Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are amongst those rumoured to be interested in the 21-year-old, but it would likely take a sizeable sum to force a move away from the South Coast.
      Albion signed Caicedo in August 2021 from Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle for an undisclosed fee and his contact isn’t due to expire until June 2025.
      Reports suggest that because of his impressive performances and lengthy contract, Brighton could ask for a fee in the region of £70million.

      Klopp’s side will slip below De Zerbi’s in the league standings if The Seagulls can win the clash. More

      And the Fulham boss is hoping to strengthen in “two or three positions” despite already being content with his squad.
      One of those areas looks to be at right-back.
      And French outlet Foot Mercato claim the Craven Cottage club are interested in the services of Traore.
      The 30-year-old has been a regular for Rennes since arriving in 2017 and started all-but one Ligue 1 match this season.

      But his contract expires in the summer and he isn’t set to sign an extension.
      He’ll therefore be available on a free transfer in July, but the report claims that Fulham want to beat the rush and sign him this month.
      Roma are also in the race, but Fulham have launched a bid of around £3m.
      Despite their success under Silva this term, right-back has been an issue for the Cottagers since their promotion.

      Regardless, Fulham have still exceeded expectations under the ex-Everton manager’s guidance.
      And victory over Chelsea tonight will see them move six points clear of their West London neighbours and up to sixth place. More

      Former boss Bruno Lage was sacked in early October, with Steve Davis subsequently taking charge of eight matches as caretaker.
      After weeks of trying Wolves finally got their man, as they appointed Lopetegui just prior to the World Cup.
      And the former Spain and Real Madrid coach is already using his vast network of contacts and experience to attract fresh talent to Wolves.
      According to The Athletic, Lopetegui’s side have entered negotiations to sign Sarabia this month.

      It’s not yet known whether they are hunting a permanent deal, or merely a loan with possible obligation to buy.
      Sarabia, 30, has just 18 months remaining on his contract at Parc des Princes.
      Therefore, PSG are not expected to demand a large fee.
      Lopetegui, 56, picked Sarabia as his captain as he coached Spain to Under-19 Euros glory in 2011.

      Winger Sarabia has gone on to make 98 appearances for the French giants, scoring 22 times and laying on 12 assists.
      Following the arrival of Lionel Messi in the summer of 2021, however, he was deemed surplus to requirements, being loaned to Sporting Lisbon.
      Following 21 goals and silverware with the Portuguese side he returned to the fold at PSG this season, making 19 appearances under Christophe Galtier.
      But he could quit for more regular playing time at Molineux.
      Lopetegui has quickly moved to bolster his front line, signing Matheus Cunha on loan from Atletico Madrid on Christmas Day.
      And his side are also claimed to be in talks with Nice to sign former Southampton and Fulham midfielder Mario Lemina.

      by

      But that came after a long transfer saga in which the prospect of signing Antony arose on numerous occasions.
      According to ESPN, when United first became interested in a deal for the South American, Ajax gave them an asking price of £53m.
      At that point, the Premier League giants deemed it to be too high.
      However, as Erik ten Hag became increasingly keen to bring him in, United ended up paying a huge £86m to bring him to the club.

      Antony was one of two big-money arrivals late in the summer window along with compatriot Casemiro – who joined for £70m.
      They came after United lost their opening two games under Ten Hag against Brighton and Brentford.
      Antony has contributed five goals in 16 appearances since arriving in Manchester.
      His performances have divided opinion, with some United supporters getting increasingly frustrated at his one-footed style.

      Yet despite some indifferent performances so far this season, Ten Hag defended him back in October, saying: “He is a young player we have to develop, but he has to develop himself.
      “We have to expect more from him. He needs challenges. That’s why he came to the Premier League.
      “He will step up. In the first weeks, he’s scored goals, he did good stuff, but also I see a lot of room for improvement in his game.”
      Man Utd currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, two points ahead of Spurs.
      They have won eight games in a row in all competitions ahead of the Manchester derby on Saturday. More
