    CLEMENT LENGLET

    Manchester United and Manchester City are taking a look at Sevilla defender Clement Lenglet, reports the Daily Mail.

    The 22-year-old Frenchman has a contract until 2021 and reportedly has a buyout clause worth £28million.

    RATING: 6/10

    VERDICT

    Barcelona have been linked with the France U21 international with his ability on the ball and his adeptness at bringing the ball out of the back seeing him naturally rumoured to be moving to Camp Nou.

    He’s quickly developing into one of the most talented defenders in Europe and the two Manchester clubs won’t be alone in their pursuit of Lenglet.

    AHMED HEGAZI

    Liverpool are exploring the possibility of signing West Brom centre-back Ahmed Hegazi, according to ESPN.

    On loan from Egyptian club Al Ahly, Leicester are also interested with West Brom having an option to make the deal permanent for €5million.

    RATING: 7/10

    VERDICT

    One position Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be in for in the January transfer window is centre-back and Hegazi has been a tower of strength since joining West Brom.

    The link up with fellow Egypt international and good friend Mohamed Salah would be one of a variety of reasons the 26-year-old swaps clubs in the New Year.

    DAVID LUIZ

    Chelsea defender David Luiz is a shock target of Real Madrid, according to the Daily Telegraph.

    Luiz has fallen down the pecking order with the Premier League champions after Andreas Christensen’s emergence as a first-team regular and could be moved on in January.

    RATING: 7/10 

    VERDICT

    Injuries and the inconsistent form of Jesus Vallejo have left Real looking dreadfully short at centre-half and Luiz could be the man to bolster their backline.

    The Brazilian was frozen out of the first-team fold altogether by boss Antonio Conte after a falling out but despite returning to the squad has been sat on the bench for the last two Premier League games.
