The 2021 transfer window for English Premier League is officially open for business. Transfer rumours have started circulating on who is going where. With all the big names in the hunt to buy, sell, or loan players to make their squad worthy of title contention, let us have a look at the latest transfer rumours surrounding the EPL.
Harry Kane to Manchester City
The affiliation of Sergio Agüero and Manchester City came to an end this year with a picture-perfect moment as the masterful striker scored a brace in his final game for the club. Man City is actively searching for Sergio Agüero’s replacement ever since.
The club has their eyes set on Tottenham striker Harry Kane for quite some time now. Though the talisman English striker has struggled to find the form for his national side since the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the Golden Boot winner has amassed 23 goals and 14 assists for his present club in 35 appearances.
Many sources have claimed that the England captain wants to leave Tottenham already and Man City has made him a £100m+ offer. But a counter-report has emerged from other sources claiming that the Premier League side will wait to make any genuine attempts to sign their top targets until after the Euro 2020 reaches its conclusion. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has already bestowed praise upon Harry Kane in 2019 and acknowledges him as one of the best modern-day strikers.
There are other claims in which City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne wants his club to sign Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku and KDB not only share a telepathic connection on the pitch, but they are buddies in real life too. Man City’s hunt for a striker is taking a dramatic turn for sure!
Jadon Sancho to Manchester United
The next big transfer news comes from the camp of The Red Devils. Manchester United is getting closer by the day to seal a transfer for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. This comes as a huge sigh of relief for the fans of United as the club looks to end their premier league title drought post-2013 season.
As per sources, Sancho and Dortmund have agreed to an upfront fee of €85m as the club attempts to extracts €15m in add-ons. Jadon Sancho will be a great addition to the squad considering the form he showed for Borussia Dortmund. And with experienced playmakers like Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandez, and Donny Van De Beek already in their squad, Jadon Sancho could be the missing weapon in their arsenal.
Raphaël Varane to Manchester United
The news of Raphaël Varane not signing a contract with Real Madrid yet has put all the European clubs on high alert. And the club most keen on buying him is Manchester United. The French centre-back has been nothing short of impressive in his run for Real Madrid but wants to explore some options for his best interests. And with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer asking the club to hire a winger and a central defender on a priority basis, the Raphaël Varane deal becomes more significant.
When Harry Maguire missed the last 4 weeks of the season for the Red Devils, it was evident that Axel Tuanzebe isn’t an ideal replacement, especially when the team requires to play with a high line. United needs a strong central defensive pair with a combination of both strength and defensive prowess. This is where Varane comes in as he is one of the best central defenders in the world right now.
But even though he has a year remaining on his contract, Real Madrid will be in no mood to sell him cheap, especially as Sergio Ramos has left the club. Real Madrid would likely ask for a transfer fee of around £45 million which is surely expensive. As Manchester United is in dire need of a central defender, they will try with all their might to rope in Raphaël Varane. But the Red Devils are going to stiff competition from other European clubs like Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Paris-Saint Germain.
Ben White to Arsenal
Arsenal is not far behind their Premier League rivals as they look to boost their line of defence with England centre-back player Ben White. The Gunners are already gunning for White as they have already made a bid of £45m plus £5m for the 23-year-old.
With the seagulls holding out for £50m, The Gunners can seal the deal at any moment. White, who admits that interest from Arsenal is nice, is currently on national duty at Euro 2020 as England prepares to face Germany at Wembley. It remains to be seen when Arsenal and Brighton will come on terms.
Jack Grealish to Manchester City
Manchester City is the current EPL champion and with the moves, they are trying to pull off, it seems like they might be able to defend their title. Apart from the speculations related to Harry Kane, Man City is planning another sensational transfer as they are pursuing Aston Villa talisman, Jack Grealish. Well known for playing as a winger or attacking midfielder for his club and country, the addition of Grealish can surely make Manchester City a force to be reckoned with.
With both Grealish and Kane in the prime of their respective careers, City plans to buy one or both of the Englishmen. As per speculations, Man City has already ‘completed’ the acquisition. The club is yet to make an official announcement. Hence, the accuracy of these reports is a matter of debate for fans worldwide.
Billy Gilmour to Norwich City on Loan
Chelsea’s Billy Gilmour, one of the brightest prospects of the game, is often deemed too good for his age. The 20-year-old Scottish midfielder has expressed an interest in a one-year loan transfer deal to Norwich City. After producing a man-of-the-match performance on his full international debut against England, Gilmour’s present club Chelsea is open to the idea of sending him to Norwich City on loan.
Fellow countrymen Charlie Adams suggested that playing more first-team football at the club level will help the youngster to become a better player. The club might loan him out for the next season but they still see his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.
