How will Big Six of the Premier League transfer in January, 2021? (Part 2)
Chelsea
Wanted: Declan Rice (West Ham), Anel Ahmedhodžić (Malmo)
Maybe departed: Kepa, Olivier Giroud, Fikayo Tomori, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Marcos Alonso, Emerson Palmieri, Danny Drinkwater
Although he spent more than 200 million pounds last summer, coach Frank Lampard still has one more desirable goal. It’s Declan Rice by West Ham. If you want an English player, Chelsea must push the names that are no longer important at Stamford Bridge. This helps them to streamline the lineup, narrow the salary budget, and avoid violating the Financial Justice law.
Man City
Wanted: Nicolas Tagliafico (Ajax), Lucas Digne (Everton), Darwin Nunez (Benfica)
Maybe leaving: Benjamin Mendy, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Eric Garcia, Jayden Braaf
The left-back position promises to be a place where many fluctuations happen at Etihad soon. Coach Pep Guardiola seems to have no more faith in Benjamin Mendy and Zinchenko. At this time, he often let Cancelo play in this position, although he is right-footed.
Besides, Man City can also push Eric Garcia to Barcelona early to avoid losing. However, like Liverpool’s Wijnaldum, they were dependent on Barcelona’s financial capacity.
Manchester United
Wanted: Jadon Sancho (B Dortmund), Dayot Upamecano (RB Leipzig), David Carmo (Braga), Ben White (Brighton), Kieran Trippier (Atletico Madrid)
Probable to leave: Marcos Rojo, Sergio Romero, Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba
The defender position is still a headache for MU. The Old Trafford team wants Dayot Upamecano to replace Victor Lindelof. At the same time, they are also targeting Kieran Trippier as a competitive backup for Wan-Bissaka.
Tottenham
Wanted: unknown
Possibly departed: Dele Alli, Danny Rose, Paulo Gazzaniga
Tottenham’s top target at the moment is Dele Alli. Coach Jose Mourinho does not want to use this player because he has lost a lot of performance. The English player no longer meets the tactical requirements of coach Mourinho.
Dele Alli himself wants to play more so that he will not be eliminated from the England team’s summoning list to attend EURO 2020 next summer. Chairman Daniel Levy tried to persuade Jose Mourinho to give him one more chance, but things did not go well.
An option to borrow this time is suitable for Alli personally and President Levy’s desire not to completely lose the player.
