Moise Kean has never been a prolific striker during his career but he is on the verge of securing another move to a massive European club.

Kean, who is yet to score this season, enjoyed the best form of his career at PSG where he scored 13 goals on loan during the 2020-21 season.

SIMON JONES: Crystal Palace are in talks with Blackburn Rovers over a move for midfielder Adam Wharton.

The England U20 international has been followed by a number of Premier League clubs over the past two seasons with Newcastle United, Everton and Tottenham scouts regular watchers at Ewood Park.

'He can do things that nobody sees before,' said Blackburn manager Jon Dahl Tomasson. 'He can play under pressure, one touch, and has great vision.'

We've heard plenty about Karim Benzema's situation at Al-Ittihad in the last few days, amid reports that things are souring for the former French international in the Saudi Pro League.

Further reports emerged on Wednesday claiming that the player himself was ruling out any interest in a move away, but French football expert Jonathan Johnson claims that might not be the case.

Take a look at what he told Sky Sports earlier about Benzema - who he believes is looking for a 'potential short-term solution' to his predicament.

Some good news for Fulham fans - Tosin Adarabioyo's agent has poured cold water over claims his client wants to see out the rest of his deal and leave for free.

The former Man City star has not long left to renegotiate terms if he does want to stay on at Craven Cottage, though...

Manchester United are looking to tie Scott McTominay down to a new longer-term contract, according to a report.

He had been on loan at Istanbul Basaksehir before Forest terminated his loan deal earlier this week.

Manchester United face a late transfer scramble after Anthony Martial was ruled out of action for 10 weeks after undergoing surgery on a groin injury - meaning that he could have played his last game for the club.

The Red Devils have been linked with short-term moves for both Karim Benzema and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting during the January window.

However, there is just a week to go until the transfer window shuts - so the Red Devils need to hurry if they want to make up for Martial's absence.
