Arsenal signed Pepe for a club-record fee of £72m and he’s yet to score from open play for his new team.

Mariano Diaz has been on the outskirts of Real Madrid for the majority of his time at the club since returning from French Ligue 1 side Lyon at the start of last season.

The likes of Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Rodrygo, Vinicius and many more are ahead of him in the pecking order as far as the Real Madrid attack is concerned.

Manchester United paid a world-record fee of £80m for a defender for Harry Maguire and his arrival prompted the exit of Chris Smalling to AS Roma.

In a recent interview with Football Italia, Chris Smalling confessed that he misses Manchester United before adding that he’s delighted with the start that he has made at his new club AS Roma.

North London outfit Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a swoop for AS Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini as they plot to replace star player Christian Eriksen who’s expected to leave the club next year.

This is according to Italian media outlet CalcioMercato which claimed that Spurs see Lorenzo Pellegrini as the long-term replacement for Christian Eriksen if they can convince AS Roma to part with the Italian international.

Danish international playmaker Christian Eriksen will most likely leave Tottenham Hotspur in the New Year with less than one year remaining on his current deal with the North Londoners and there is little hope that the former Ajax Amsterdam midfielder will extend his contract beyond next summer when it expires.

Christian Eriksen has a lot of suitors dating back to the summer when he came close to leaving Spurs.

Major European clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid were all linked him with him before the summer transfer window ended.

Manchester United have been linked with a £44m January swoop for him in recent days.

Manchester United are set to listen to offer from Roma over Chris Smalling’s services after their initial refusal to let go of the player on a permanent deal.

The two San Siro outfits are said to be interested in the 29-year-old and they are more than willing to beat Roma in the race for his signature in the summer.

Though United are struggling for form at the back of the pitch, the decision to let go of the England international seems the best one as there is a need to offload some ineffective players in the team.

Marcos Rojo could equally be on his way out of the Theatre of Dreams before next season having failed to nail down a permanent spot in the team since the start of Solskjaer’s reign.
