Transfer News Podcast | Premier League Transfer Rumours & News

Hello and welcome to Transfer News Podcast! I'm Archer, and wow, what a day to be covering the transfer window. We've got everything today: Manchester City making waves, Manchester United's midfield exodus drama, and enough Bournemouth storylines to fill an entire show. So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's dive straight into the madness.

Let's start with the big one. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has confirmed that Antoine Semenyo is in his last moments with the club, and Manchester City seem to be the destination. Pep Guardiola is staying tight-lipped when asked about it, but all signs point to City adding another attacking weapon to their arsenal. Liverpool were reportedly Semenyo's preferred destination, but it looks like the lure of the Etihad has won out. Multiple sources suggest there could still be a twist though, so nothing's done until the paperwork is signed.

Speaking of Bournemouth, Iraola has made it clear they cannot replace Semenyo if he leaves. That's a massive statement about how important the player has become to their system. And it doesn't stop there for the Cherries, they're reportedly keen on Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri. That would be quite the coup if they can pull it off, bringing in one of England's most exciting young talents.

Bournemouth are also eyeing Nottingham Forest's Brennan Johnson as another potential addition. Andoni Iraola is clearly looking to reinforce his squad, though losing Semenyo would be a significant blow regardless of who comes in.

Now to Newcastle, where things are getting interesting. They're facing a battle for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, and it seems West Ham are also heavily interested in bringing him to the London Stadium. Nuno Espirito Santo won't want to lose one of his key attacking options mid-season.

Staying with Newcastle, there are reports that Saudi Pro League clubs are targeting their midfielder Joelinton. That would be a huge loss for Eddie Howe if it materializes, given how important the Brazilian has been to their system.

Over to Manchester United, where the drama never stops. Marcus Rashford may have a route back into Ruben Amorim's plans, which is fascinating given how things seemed completely done between them just weeks ago. Football moves fast, doesn't it?

But here's where it gets really spicy for United. Reports suggest that Kobbie Mainoo wants to leave the club. Yes, you heard that right, one of their brightest academy products reportedly wants out. That would be an absolutely seismic moment if it happens.

United are apparently considering a move to bring James Garner back to Old Trafford. The midfielder has impressed since leaving, and it seems they're recognizing what they let go. They're also reportedly eyeing a loan deal for Conor Gallagher from Chelsea, which would add some much-needed energy to their midfield.

And just to add to the chaos at United, there's a deadlock in negotiations over Joshua Zirkzee's potential move to Roma. The striker hasn't had the easiest time since arriving, and it seems a January exit might not be straightforward.

Let's talk about Chelsea for a moment. They're keeping tabs on Newcastle's Sandro Tonali, according to reports. Enzo Maresca is clearly still looking to strengthen his midfield options despite already having quite the squad depth.

Chelsea and Leeds United are both monitoring Manchester City's James McAtee. Daniel Farke would love to add that kind of creativity to his promotion push, while Chelsea just keep collecting talented players.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has stated he thinks Marc Guehi will stay at the club in January and expects him to remain until the end of the season. That's good news for Palace, though Barcelona have reportedly cooled their interest, and Manchester City are said to be targeting him for the summer instead. Real Madrid have also joined the race for Guehi, so this saga is far from over.

Liverpool are reportedly set to sign Colombian defender Jader Ordonez. Arne Slot continues to quietly build his squad, adding depth to his defensive options.

Some interesting news from Manchester City: Nathan Ake has rejected a move to West Ham. The Dutch defender clearly wants to stay and fight for his place under Pep Guardiola rather than move across town.

Borussia Dortmund are leading the race for Manchester City's Oscar Bobb. The young Norwegian talent could get more regular game time in Germany, which might be tempting for his development.

Fulham are reportedly interested in signing Ricardo Pepi, who's valued at forty million pounds. Marco Silva is clearly looking to add firepower to his attack as the Cottagers push for a strong second half of the season.

There's also news that Marcos Senesi is attracting interest from two La Liga clubs. The Bournemouth defender has impressed this season, and Spanish football might be calling.

And just a quick injury update that affects the transfer picture: Manchester City's Savinho is set to be sidelined for up to two months. That injury could accelerate City's pursuit of attacking reinforcements.

Finally, there was an interesting moment when Jamie Redknapp expressed bafflement over reports linking Manchester United with former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in some capacity. His reaction? It makes no sense. Hard to disagree with that assessment, to be honest.
