FROM MUNICH TO LONDON? THE SECRET REASON LEON GORETZKA WANTS TOTTENHAM MOVE NOW

Thomas Frank is ready to spend! Discover why Ruben Neves, Dusan Vlahovic, and Leon Goretzka are on Tottenham's 2026 transfer radar.

From Munich To London? The Secret Reason Leon Goretzka Wants Tottenham Move Now
Vlahovic And Goretzka Linked With Spurs Pre-Contract Moves

Looks like Tottenham might be busy during the January transfer window. Thomas Frank himself suggested as much.

We'll definitely be in the market, no doubt, the Dane said. We want new players in as early as possible, like always, and we'll see if we can get anyone before January 31st.

The winter window isn't just about signing players for now, though. Premier League clubs can chat with players in foreign leagues whose contracts are up in the summer, aiming for a pre-contract agreement for a free summer transfer.

Tottenham could take advantage of this, as quite a few players could be signed for free next summer.

Here are three players who might interest Tottenham in January...

Ruben Neves

Neves left Wolves for Al Hilal in 2023, but his contract with the Saudi Arabian club ends next summer. At 28, he captained Wolves when they were promoted to the Premier League in 2018 and played over 250 times for them in six years, so he has tons of experience. Al Hilal reportedly paid £47 million for him, so getting him for free would be a great move for Tottenham. But he'll probably have a lot of offers, and Spurs might even try to buy the Portuguese star in January for less money.

Dusan Vlahovic

The Serbian player is a surprise pick. Word is, Vlahovic doesn't plan to renew his Juventus contract, so he's expected to leave next summer. At 25, he's previously been linked to the Premier League, especially Arsenal in 2021. He’d give Frank more choices besides Dominic Solanke and Richarlison. The striker has scored six goals in 17 games for the Italian team this season, and a deal seems possible.

Leon Goretzka

This would be a real statement. The German player has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium recently. At the moment, the midfielder is happy to leave the Bundesliga champions. Goretzka is 30 years old; he has nearly 300 appearances for Bayern. And he'd bring skill and a winning attitude to the Spurs team.

DEADLINE APPROACHING: WILL DAVID MOYES TRADE THIERNO BARRY TO SECURE EVAN FERGUSON TODAY?

David Moyes eyes a bold January move, potentially swapping struggling Thierno Barry for Roma loanee Evan Ferguson to boost goals.

Everton Identifies Evan Ferguson as the Prime January Target

Everton needs a consistent scorer to compete for spots in Europe, so could this swap make sense?

David Moyes has been around footie long enough and knows what Everton needs in January.

Goals are key for strikers, and his two guys just aren't doing it. £35m signing Thierno Barry has gotten a lot of chances from the Everton boss.

If Beto hadn't scored two goals, he probably would've been riding the pine by now.

Everton could swap so Moyes gets more goals

Right now, Evan Ferguson is on loan at Roma. He lost his way a bit after breaking through as a teen, but now the 6 ft 2 in guy has found his footing with the Italianos. He scored two good goals against Celtic in the Europa League.

The 21-year-old is often a sub for Roma and might be available again in January. Last winter, he was linked with Everton and Brighton. Brighton wants to cash in on an asset they have but aren't using. It might be tough, but Everton should think about offering Barry for Ferguson in a swap. A change in style might help the France Under-21 player.

Why Moyes Might Want Another Striker

Moyes is only going to wait so long for Barry to start scoring to match his level of play lately, says The Independent.

He can't play six more games and only score once. He's had his shot, but I have to say Beto is starting to show more. Barry needs to keep playing well, Moyes said.

At the start of the season, we subbed them around after 60 minutes because we needed one of them to score. We decided to give Thierno a run to get used to the Prem, but we really want Beto to get back in form too. We need goals from both of them.

Barry's still got value after scoring 19 goals last season in Spain. January could be a good time to sell the 23-year-old if Moyes is done with him. Ferguson has a good Prem record and might be the guy he wants.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS MAN CITY: CAN SEAN DYCHE END A 30-YEAR WINLESS RUN ON SATURDAY?

Nottingham Forest aims to break a 30-year streak against Manchester City. Discover if Sean Dyche can finally beat Pep Guardiola.

Man City Chase History Against Sean Dyche’s Forest.

Nottingham Forest wants to break a 30-year losing run against Manchester City this Saturday and stop them from making history.

The East Midlands team is in 17th place as they get ready to play Pep Guardiola's squad.

After losing 1-0 to Fulham on Monday, Sean Dyche has a lot to think about before taking on one of the hottest teams in the league at the City Ground.

Man City is expected to win. They're trying to climb from second place to finish 2025 in first.

When they hit the field in the East Midlands, Man City will try and keep up a winning run that started way back in 1995.

What can Nottingham Forest do to stop Man City?

It's been thirty years since Nottingham Forest won back-to-back league games against Man City.

They won 1-0 back in March, but Man City already got even by winning the FA Cup semi-final less than two months later.

Plus, Man City has been on fire in the Premier League, winning their last five games and their last three by 3-0 scorelines.

No team in English top-flight history has ever won four straight matches by three or more goals without letting the other team score.

Also, Man City hasn't lost any of their last 10 Premier League games played between Christmas and New Year's Eve, winning eight and drawing two.

Sean Dyche is still trying to get his first Premier League win against Pep Guardiola, having lost 14 of 16 matches.

If Forest doesn't win on Saturday, Dyche will tie Steve Bruce's record for most losses against Sir Alex Ferguson.

A lot is riding on this game for both teams.

Since it's the 12:30 PM kickoff on Saturday, both teams can make big strides with a win.

Forest could get eight points above the relegation zone, while Man City could jump to first place before Arsenal plays Brighton & Hove Albion later that day.
