He was on the way to Liverpool last year and Manchester City are gunning for him now, reinforcements required after injuries to Josko Gvardiol and R\u00faben Dias. It\u2019s only natural then that Arsenal feel a little bit left out. Yes, the league leaders are reportedly having a look at Crystal Palace\u2019s in-demand captain, Marc Gu\u00e9hi, whose contract runs out in the summer. Gu\u00e9hi fighting it out with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalh\u00e3es in central defence? That wall at the back could become impenetrable.<\/p>\n
A re-jig in the Tottenham backline is also in the offing. They\u2019re pushing hard for the Santos left-back Souza, 19 years young, after an \u00a38m bid was rejected, while the former Genoa centre-back Radu Dragusin \u2013 who recently returned from an ACL injury \u2013 is rumoured for a move back to Italy, Roma the proposed destination. Brentford\u2019s Kevin Schade continues to be linked with Spurs, which would set up a reunion with his former coach Thomas Frank.<\/p>\n
Evan Ferguson is over in Rome at the moment, on loan from Brighton, building some form with two goals in his last three league games. But the Premier League clearly wants him back; he finds himself attached with a possible switch to Nottingham Forest, who need a Big Man Up Top while Chris Wood recovers from surgery.<\/p>\n
J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen continues to circle around the Premier League\u2019s relegation battlers. He is another one apparently on Forest\u2019s list of targets, the Wolves forward having previously been under consideration by West Ham, who opted against splurging \u00a340m on the 25-year-old. Wolves, despite their place in next season\u2019s Championship already pencilled in, have managed to string three unbeaten games together, Mateus Man\u00e9 contributing a couple of goals in that surprise run. The bottom side aren\u2019t going to let anyone take away their bright spark, the Daily Mail reporting that the 18-year-old is not for sale.<\/p>\n
The Everton right-back Nathan Patterson has the attention of Sevilla according to Sky Sports, while Antonio R\u00fcdiger\u2019s future is under spotlight as his deal at Real Madrid expires in the summer. Naturally, there\u2019s some fanciful noise out there over a romantic return to Chelsea, where he first lifted the Champions League. Perhaps that\u2019s just been spinned out by what R\u00fcdiger wrote<\/a> when he departed: \u201cChelsea will always be in my heart. London will always be my home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He was on the way to Liverpool last year and Manchester City are gunning for him now, reinforcements…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235979,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-235978","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
