Another day and another lot of football gossip.

Premier League rumours

Many reports indicate that Anthony Martial wants to leave Manchester United but he does not want to go out on loan to another English club. Barcelona, Sevilla and Juventus are three options for a January move. What legacy will Martial leave at Manchester if he does leave?

Manchester United are reportedly targeting Aston Villa and Scotland midfielder John McGinn in the summer transfer window. They are also leading Juventus and Inter Milan in the race to sign Serbia midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio, but the Serie A club will demand at least £66.8m.

Newcastle United have offered a fee of around £25.1m for Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata. Another player linked with a move to Newcastle is Eden Hazard. He wants to leave Real Madrid, but is not interested in joining Newcastle, who have had a £41.3m bid for the 31-year-old accepted by the Spanish club. 

Wolves winger Adama Traore could get the green light to leave the club in the next 24 hours, with the Spain international linked with moves to Tottenham and former club Barcelona. 

Rangers left-back Borna Barisic has confirmed a club made a move for him earlier in the transfer window. There are currently rumours linking the Croatian international with Watford and Aston Villa. 

Arsenal's negotiations with Juventus over a loan deal for midfielder Arthur Melo have stalled because the Serie A club have not yet found a replacement for the Brazilian. 

Chelsea could be given a free run at signing Monaco's French midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni with Manchester United turning their attention to RB Leipzig's midfielder Amadou Haidara and Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria. 

Diego Costa, currently a free agent, has been linked with a move to Arsenal. He is said to prefer a move to Brazilian club Corinthians.

Barcelona have given 24-year-old France winger Ousmane Dembele 48 hours to decide on the club's reduced contract offer, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season. 

Paris St-Germain have offered Chelsea the chance to sign France defender Layvin Kurzawa, but Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is not keen on the 29-year-old despite losing England left-back Ben Chilwell to a serious knee injury. 

Manchester City's 23-year-old goalkeeper Arijanet Muric, who is on loan at Turkish club Adana Demirspor, is set to join Galatasaray at the end of the season.

What's happening at Everton?

Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
