United's £72m flop Hojlund out? Villa chase Chelsea mug, Potter eyes Brighton reject

Joao Felix could be heading out of Chelsea faster than a bullet from a gun, with Aston Villa leading the chase for his signature.

Villa chase Felix while Chelsea eye Duran

The Portuguese muppet has started just three league games for Chelsea, and Villa boss Emery wants to take advantage of his lack of playing time. Emery's tried to sign Felix before, but Chelsea's £45m price tag put him off.

But now, with Felix unhappy and Villa's £80m-rated striker Jhon Duran on Chelsea's radar, a player-exchange deal could be on the cards. Chelsea need to bolster their striking ranks, and Duran could be the man to do it.

Man United could sell Hojlund

Rasmus Hojlund's future at Manchester United is in doubt, with the Danish striker failing to impress this season. He's scored just two league goals and gone 11 games without a goal. United boss Ruben Amorim is far from convinced by the £72m man.

If United decide to sell Hojlund, they'll have to take a hit on the fee they paid for him. But with Napoli and Juventus interested, they might just cut their losses and let him go.

Potter wants striker reunion at West Ham

West Ham's striker search is expected to go down to the wire, with new boss Graham Potter desperate to sign a new No.9 after losing Niclas Fullkrug to injury. Evan Ferguson is top of his list, but the Irishman's ankle injury is a concern.

West Ham have agreed personal terms with Brian Brobbey, but can't agree a fee with Ajax. They've also spoken to RB Leipzig about Andre Silva, but Potter really wants Ferguson, who he worked with at Brighton.

Tomori's transfer U-turn

AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori looks set to stay in Italy, despite interest from Premier League clubs including Tottenham, West Ham and Aston Villa. The England international was thought to be looking for an escape route from the San Siro, but he's now happy to stay after becoming a regular starter under new boss Sergio Conceicao.

Tomori's decision to stay in Italy is a blow to the Premier League clubs who were hoping to sign him, but they'll have to look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements now.
