Guardiola accepts concerns over Haaland extension

Pep Guardiola accepts Erling Haaland's bumper new contract could prevent Manchester City signing any more top-level strikers.

The City manager's comments come as the club appear to be closing in on a deal for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush.

Guardiola said: "The bigger strikers will not come to be a replacement for Erling, so we have to find them young to accept the role.

"Or they're different players - like Oscar (Bobb), (James) McAtee, Phil (Foden), and maybe without Erling we'll play a different way, with a false nine, with alternatives, with more runners from outside, more runners for the channels inside. We will find solutions.

"We could not go to sign (Kylian) Mbappe, for example, as a top-class player because normally we play with just one striker.

"But of course we have alternatives just in case Erling cannot play all the minutes. We have other options."

Real Betis confirm Antony interest

Real Betis are in talks to sign Antony on loan for the remainder of the season.

According to various reports, Manchester United have agreed for the forward to leave and the Liga side's president has confirmed interest in the expensive flop.

Manu Fajardo said: "A very attractive player in this market, I have little to say about his career, and as I mentioned with (Alvaro) Valles, Antony is still a Manchester United player.

"Throughout the season, we have been one of the teams that has generated the most in the offensive phase, and we have also been the ones that have been the least successful in the finishing zone.

"We are working to improve this in this market."

The Mail report on fears that the striker could be sidelined for around six weeks, ruling him out until March, to leave just Richarlison as the only recognised lone front man.

Chelsea handed Alejandro Garnacho boost

Chelsea may have been handed a key new boost in the race for Alejandro Garnacho.

Shock reports first emerged on Friday that the Blues were keen on a deal for the Manchester United academy graduate, having been already linked with Kobbie Mainoo this month.

It is rumoured that Chelsea are seeking reassurances over Garnacho’s temperament following his rocky start under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford, with Napoli already said to be in hot pursuit of his signature after seeing an opening offer worth around £40m rebuffed by United earlier this week after selling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG.

However, The Mirror now report that Napoli will look elsewhere in their bid to replace the Georgian star, potentially leaving Chelsea a free run at Garnacho.

Sesko says 'yes' to Arsenal move

Benjamin Sesko has told Arsenal that he is ready to join the club.

The Gunners are in the market for a striker following Gabriel Jesus's injury and have reportedly renewed interest in the RB Leipzig talisman after summer interest.

The Mirror reported then that Sesko wanted the move and that stance has not changed. He prefers a move to Arsenal over Manchester United and Chelsea.

It is reported that Sesko has negotiated a £60m "gentleman's agreement" to allow him to leave this summer, but a move in January will still prove tricky.

Maresca confirms Chelsea transfer stance after 'disaster'

Enzo Maresca says Chelsea do not need to sign a “killer” striker, insisting Nicolas Jackson will soon hit form in front of goal.

Chelsea, who host Wolves on Monday night, have been linked with January moves for a whole host of strikers — speculation which Maresca deemed a “disaster” on Friday — but the club are hopeful that Jackson will become more clinical if given time.

The Senegal international scored 17 goals in all competitions for the Blues last season but also drew criticism for misfiring from a number of presentable chances.

Asked whether the Blues are looking to make a statement signing in attack, Maresca said: “No, because I think by being a little bit more lucky, we can convert and can score more goals.

“It’s not about [signing] a ‘killer’. In this moment, the one that’s probably missing the goal is Nico. But the way he is working is fantastic, and we don’t have any doubt that Nico is soon going to start scoring goals.”
