We’ll start with Jordan Henderson. He’s reportedly not happy in Saudi Arabia and itching for a move back to Europe – he’s had enough of “growing the game” after six months out there. His club, Al-Ettifaq, don’t want to lose the 33-year-old, and that’s fair enough, because they signed him to a three-year deal in July.

There is serious talk going on with Henderson. He still has some things to arrange in Saudi Arabia. It could be a nice match. It’s no secret that we could really use that type of player. Other guys can benefit from that.

Mr. Dyer was also asked about his living situation.. Harry Kane lived in a hotel with his family until Christmas, remember?
I would like to sincerely thank the hotel staff for making me feel at home since moving to Munich. That was a major contributing factor to the successful establishment of the program. @esmuellert_ I was worried that the room would be too small, so I had time to check out and get my family and my place together. 🙌😂 pic.twitter.com/Sih7qMMQID

Dyer was asked if he intended to move into Harry Kane's new Munich mansion.
“I don't know if there's space there,” he replied. “I haven't been there yet, but he invited me so I'll definitely go. But I don't think I'll stay there. He has a lot of kids, so I understand he's very busy.'' I don't want to add to that work.
Eric Dier was a bit unwell over the weekend In his first Bayern interview, he appeared to have a German accent. Apparently, other Brits overseas have also been guilty of this in the past – Marseille's Joey Barton, FC Twente's Steve McLaren.
But I think slowing down your speech to make it easier to understand is actually a very intelligent and compassionate thing to do. Even though most Europeans speak English fluently, I think it's a subconscious kindness.
It is also worth noting that Dyer is fluent in Portuguese, having spent his childhood in Lisbon. I think he speaks German very quickly. He seems like an intelligent man. Also, as you can see in the video above, I didn't know Dyer was born in Guildford. The internet seems to think he was born in Cheltenham before moving to Portugal.
Hannibal Mabry lands in Spain He will soon be announced as a Sevilla player. He has shown flashes of talent at Manchester United and could definitely develop into a top midfielder at Sevilla. It is a loan deal with a €20 million buy option, but Fabrizio reported on Sunday that Manchester United had requested a possible buy-back clause after an initial verbal agreement.

Awaiting official confirmation regarding Valentin Barco's transfer Brighton paid Boca Juniors an £8 million release fee. What a fantastic deal this is for a talented young left-back. When Pervis Estupignan was injured, James Milner took his place and did a fine job. Barco is a great second option for Roberto de Zerbi. PSG and Manchester City were also interested, but Brighton made the move first.
Monday means one thing at Guardian HQ.: Premier League topics.
Old Trafford's new striker That would cast serious doubts over Anthony Martial's future. It feels like I've been typing that sentence for years. Martial is currently 28 years old, but he has scored just two goals in 19 appearances this season. Despite this, West Ham, Inter Milan and Fenerbahce are all keen on the Frenchman, who has reportedly rejected an approach from Saudi Arabia.
What’s really interesting about Gilassi? That means he scores different types of goals. He plays with his left foot, his right foot, dinks, headers, tap-ins, when he aims for goal and from long range. There's obvious talent here. The video below from early in the season (starting with 15 goals in 9 league games) is good evidence of this.
Stuttgart's Selhaw Guirassi has a release clause of just 17.5 million euros. Only Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé have scored more goals than the Guinean striker in Europe's top five leagues, so it's no wonder there's interest from overseas. West Ham are in dire need of a striker with Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio all out through injury.
However, Manchester United are also lurking and could compete for Guirassi. With Rasmus Hjølund not living up to expectations and Marcus Rashford also struggling, the club are once again looking for short-term top reinforcements. Where is Odion Ighalo when you need him?
It should be mentioned that Gilassy is 27 years old. He has been a good striker at best throughout his career, but he showed great success in the 2023-24 season, scoring 19 goals in 18 games in all competitions. He has benefited greatly from the tactical changes made at Stuttgart, who narrowly avoided relegation last season. This year they are in third place behind Bayern, with Guirassy at the center of the attack in front of three attacking midfielders. He's not some wonder kid or some irresistible young talent. He is a significantly improved striker and fits very well into the current tactical system. The question is whether that format can continue in another system, another team, another country. I think he would be a great buy for West Ham. As for Manchester United, I'm not sure.
The rumor mill is up and running And they are doing God's work.
preamble
On Monday morning, the UK reached the halfway point of the January transfer window. There's a lot to discuss. West Ham need a new striker.Tony Mowbrays Birmingham City's newfound enthusiasm for buffets.. West Ham need a new striker. Brighton's Wonder Kids. Ah, that's right.
Let's start with Jordan Henderson. He is reportedly not happy with his life in Saudi Arabia and is itching to return to Europe. After six months there, he's tired of “growing his game.” His club Al Etifaq don't want to lose the 33-year-old, which is entirely understandable since they signed him to a three-year contract in July.
However, Ajax have been linked with Henderson, with manager Jon Van't Schip claiming in an interview with ESPN last night that there had been “serious discussions” with Henderson.
Serious talks are underway with Henderson. He still has some things to arrange in Saudi Arabia. He could be a good match. It's no secret that we can really use that type of player. Others can also benefit from it.
Let's see if there are any further developments today.
