HENRIKH MKHITARYAN
Inter Milan are interested in signing Manchester United Henrikh Mkhitaryan on loan, according to Gazzetta dello Sport .
The Serie A club are unlikely to be able to sign the Armenian on a permanent deal, but feel a loan move is more feasible.
Inter face stiff competition from his former club Borussia Dortmund with Mkhitaryan currently out of favour at Old Trafford.
RATING: 6/10
VERDICT
Although he is considered a popular figure at the club, Mkhitaryan has fallen down the pecking order after a disagreement with Jose Mourinho earlier this season.
The player is believed to be considering a move away from Old Trafford as he knows his place in the Red Devils’ starting XI is not guaranteed.
A move to the Bundesliga seems more likely as Mkhitaryan spent three seasons at the Westfalenstadion from 2013-2016 – and it could be a chance to rediscover his old glittering form.
ROSS BARKLEY
Tottenham are set to swoop for Tottenham Hotspur star Ross Barkley, according to the Express .
The Whites are considering a £25 million bid – half of what Everton valued him at during the summer.
The England international has not featured yet this season as he continues to step up his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Mauricio Pochettino will face stiff competition with Chelsea, Arsenal and West Ham all interested in acquiring Barkley’s services.
RATING: 6/10
VERDICT
Spurs have identified Barkley as a long-term replacement to the injury prone Mousa Dembele, but no concrete deal has been submitted yet.
With Chelsea seriously considering a move for the Everton academy product, a bid will need to be tabled soon.
If either of the clubs get the 24-year-old for £25 million, it could be one of the bargain buys of the January transfer window.
