    Man Utd eye ex-Chelsea defender<\/h3>\n

    Manchester United are strengthening their interest in former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori, according to reports from Italy.<\/p>\n

    Milan Web say England international Tomori could leave for a suitable offer and that United have their eyes on the centre-half.<\/p>\n

    A \u00a334million price tag has reportedly been set by Milan but it is added that a move in January is unlikely.<\/p>\n

    Instead, it is a move that could take place in the summer when a deal might be easier for United to do.<\/p>\n

    Matteo Gabbia, on loan at Villarreal from Milan, and Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior are seen as long-term replacements for Tomori, 25.<\/p>\n

    Chelsea learn \u00a385m price tag<\/h3>\n

    Chelsea have been told it will cost them \u00a385million to sign Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres, say the Daily Mirror.<\/p>\n

    Gyokeres is on a five-man shortlist of strikers alongside Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen for January. Mauricio Pochettino is eager to recruit a potent goalscorer to take his team up a level.<\/p>\n

    The Swede only joined Sporting from Coventry in the summer but has been a huge hit since with 16 goals across all competitions.<\/p>\n

    But Chelsea will have to pay Gyokeres’ \u00a385m release clause in full to sign him, his Portuguese club have told the Londoners per the Mirror.<\/p>\n

    Arsenal identify new \u00a350m target<\/h3>\n

    Arsenal have identified Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke as a new transfer target for January.<\/p>\n

    That’s according to the Daily Star, who say Solanke is on Arsenal’s list of alternatives for Brentford frontman Ivan Toney.<\/p>\n

    It’s claimed Tottenham and Chelsea are also keen on the 27-year-old who has eight goals in 16 games this season.<\/p>\n

    Mikel Arteta will reportedly push for a deal to sign Englishman Solanke – who could cost around \u00a350million – if he does not get Toney next month.<\/p>\n
