Tottenham ‘to move’ for Leon Goretzka as Sunderland ‘to target’ Ligue one winger Ilan Kebbal | OneFootball

The January window has opened, and Tottenham could move first for Leon Goretzka, while Sunderland are assessing Ilan Kebbal and Chelsea have parted with Enzo Maresca.

Caught Offside claims Bayern Munich have quietly opened the door to Goretzka leaving, with the club keen to move him on before the end of next season due to his salary. The outlet says Tottenham, Man United and Arsenal have spoken with his entourage, with Spurs seen as likeliest to act this month and the others waiting until summer.

Football Insider reports Sunderland have joined Fulham and Crystal Palace in a three-way chase for 27-year-old Paris FC winger Kebbal. He is said to have impressed since stepping up from the second tier despite his side’s struggles, and the right flank is an area all three want to bolster.

Chelsea have parted company with Maresca in a New Year’s Day shock. Team Talk suggests former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior could be in the frame.

Any move for Goretzka remains contingent on club decisions, and Spurs’ rivals could revisit the situation in the summer. Sunderland, Fulham and Crystal Palace are said to be eyeing options on the right before deciding whether to bid.
