Nmecha, who developed through Manchester City’s youth setup and whose brother Lukas plays for Leeds United, has hinted that he aspires to play in the Premier League.
– Reports from Sky Germany indicate thatBarcelona’s strong forward Robert Lewandowski won’t leave the club in January but aims for a move to MLS in the summer. The seasoned 37-year-old also has interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League but prefers a switch to the U.S. and is willing to wait until the season’s end. With five consecutive matches on the bench, the Poland international’s tenure in La Liga appears to be winding down, as his contract expires in June.

Under pressure, Spurs manager Thomas Frank seeks a replacement for the left-wing position left vacant by Son Heung-min, with Summerville seen as a possible target. Meanwhile, Jones may be more challenging to pursue, given his wish to remain at his childhood club, Liverpool, for his entire career. Though he is a key player for Arne Slot, Jones has faced inconsistency in his appearances this season.

Meanwhile, Palace is considering a move for Villa forward Evann Guessand.

Sheffield Wednesday’s teenage defender Yisa Alao could be heading to Stamford Bridge for a £500,000 deal, potentially rising to £1 million with add-ons.
