Manchester United Sets Sights on Chelsea's Ben Chilwell

Amidst ongoing managerial uncertainties at Manchester United, where Erik ten Hag's job seems precarious, the club’s sporting director, Dan Ashworth, is turning focus towards the upcoming January transfer window. With current left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia struggling with injuries, United is keen on bolstering their squad.

According to sources, United is contemplating a move for Ben Chilwell, the Chelsea left-back who has fallen out of favor under coach Enzo Maresca. Having yet to feature in a Premier League match this season, Chilwell seems poised for a change, and United is seen as one of the top contenders for his signature, despite interest from Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

Chilwell's history of injuries raises some eyebrows, as he managed only 21 appearances for the Blues last season. However, the chance to revitalize his career in a high-profile Premier League club could be too enticing to pass up.

Arsenal in Pole Position for Benjamin Sesko

Arsenal is not resting on their laurels after an impressive start to the season. Manager Mikel Arteta is keeping an eye on RB Leipzig's talented striker Benjamin Sesko, who has become a key target for the Gunners. Despite missing out on the 21-year-old over the summer when he extended his contract, Arsenal remains determined to secure his services.

The Gunners are in a strong position to lure Sesko, especially since they can guarantee him significant playing time, which is crucial for his development. Known for transforming young talent into superstars, Arteta has made it clear that he'd love to integrate Sesko into a squad aiming for high honors both domestically and in Europe.

Liverpool Nears Contract Extensions for Star Players

Liverpool is quietly making strides to retain their core players by finalizing new contracts for some key figures within the squad. With Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold's contracts expiring at the end of the season, the club could be at risk of losing these stars for nothing.

Among the exciting news, Liverpool is reportedly close to renewing the contract of Ibrahima Konate. Efforts are also underway to secure Van Dijk’s future, with the Dutch international expressing a desire to continue being a central figure for both club and country for the next couple of years.
