16:15 , Marc Mayo

West Ham are reportedly leading the race to sign Leeds winger Wilfried Gnonto.

Eagle-eyed Hammers fans may have taken hope from the fact he missed today's win over Preston at Elland Road amid the speculation.

Conor Gallagher told why he must stay at Chelsea

15:47 , Marc Mayo

Joe Cole believes Conor Gallagher could match Jordan Henderson's legacy at Liverpool if he renews his Chelsea contract, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

The 23-year-old midfielder has started every match he has been available for this season under Mauricio Pochettino. But his future remains in doubt, with little progress being made to renew his contract with under 18 months left on his current deal.

"Conor Gallagher is a crucial one and is the face of the club," Cole said when launching the Green Football Weekend at Wembley Stadium.

"He's a captain in the leadership group, so to take him out of the team now would not be good. If I was advising him, I'd tell him he has a big future at Chelsea.

"I think what Jordan Henderson was to Liverpool, he can be that for Chelsea."

According to The Sun, West Ham are ready to smash their transfer record to sign Boniface - also linked with the likes of Chelsea and Newcastle - before the January deadline, with technical director Tim Steidten apparently trying to negotiate a deal with former club Leverkusen, who only signed the player from Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise in the summer.

Levy long game paying off for Tottenham

Wednesday 17 January 2024 15:42 , Matt Verri

As Everton and Nottingham Forest face up to charges for breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR) and a handful of other top-flight clubs sweat on the state of their own books, it is time to acknowledge that Levy’s approach is working for Spurs, writes Dan Kilpatrick.

They are, as it stands, the only top-flight club to have spent anything approaching serious cash this month — £26 million on defender Radu Dragusin — and they are not done yet, with a midfielder a target before the end of January.

While Eddie Howe, manager of Saudi Arabia-backed Newcastle, complains that the club does not have “the freedom” to sign players like Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke because of PSR and Aston Villa’s Unai Emery says they need to sell before they can buy, Tottenham have no such concerns.

The sale of their greatest-ever player, Harry Kane, in a £100 million summer transfer to Bayern Munich has helped massively but years of careful financing have put Spurs in a position of strength.
