Sunday transfer gossip and more: 28/11/2021

In the middle of some great football action across Europe, let's have a look at some of the latest gossip.

West Ham United manager David Moyes is set to make a final bid to sign Burnley defender James Tarkowski with the 29-year-old English centre-back due to become a free agent in the summer. West Ham will be determined to keep growing their squad as they continue in their quest to join the Premier League elite. 

Manchester City's Spain forward Ferran Torres, 21, has submitted a transfer request with Barcelona interested. Barca have also been linked with Raheem Sterling in recent days.

Fiorentina have put a £55m price tag on Serbia striker Dusan Vlahovic in a bid to hold off interest from Manchester United - but the 21-year-old is not expected to make any move in January. Would the Serbian be a good signing for the Old Trafford club?

Alexandre Lacazette has said his agents are considering variety of options. The 30-year-old France striker's contract expires at Arsenal in the summer. Since signing for the club in 2017, Lacazette has scored 68 goals in 181 appearances. 

Real Madrid will not be signing Manchester United's France midfielder Paul Pogba next summer despite being heavily linked. Pogba has been linked with a number of moves in recent times. His former club Juventus have also been heavily linked. 

Paris St-Germain have no intention of letting Mauricio Pochettino leave for Manchester United halfway through the season, but they are open to negotiations at the end of the season. The imminent arrival of an interim manager means that Manchester United are now prepared to wait for Pochettino. 

Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho, 29, could be on the move to Newcastle in the January transfer window - although the Brazil player did initially reject a move to the Premier League club. Many Newcastle fans believe that Coutinho would be a great statement signing and would improve the club straight away. They clearly need a lift and this was evident after a poor performance against Arsenal.

French forward Nabil Fekir, 28, is close to an agreement with Real Betis over a new contract. Fekir has been linked with clubs across the continent. 

Crystal Palace are watching Spanish striker Borja Mayoral with the 24-year-old struggling for game time while on loan at Roma from Real Madrid. 

Arsenal and Tottenham are both in contention to sign 21-year-old Sweden midfielder Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus. 

Aston Villa chief executive Christian Purslow says there could be "one or two" incomings at Villa Park during the January transfer window.  It has also been reported that Steven Gerrard wants defensive reinforcements and the new Aston Villa manager is targeting a loan move for 24-year-old Liverpool and England defender Joe Gomez.

FA Cup: United win on penalties

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Manchester United 1 - 1 Burnley Zeki Amdouni scored a late penalty to grab what could he a priceless point for relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League at Old Trafford. Despite another unconvincing display from Manchester United, they did look well set for victory thanks to Antony's well-taken 79th-minute effort. Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
