Hello and welcome to the EPL transfer news and round-up for the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Premier League.
Peter Schmeichel wants Son at United
Former Manchester United star Peter Schmeichel wants to see Tottenham Hotspur star Heung-Min Son at the Old Trafford. The South Korean star was recently awarded the AFC International player of the year for the third time in his career and Schmeichel has heaped praise on the superstar while also urging United to sign him.
“I would love to see him [at Old Trafford]," he said. “He is an incredible player. It really is difficult to understand how good he is.”
Manchester United advised to sign Edinson Cavani
Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has advised the Red Devils to sign Edinson Cavani from Paris Saint-Germain in the winter transfer window. The PSG forward has lost his place in the starting XI with Thomas Tuchel himself admitting that the Uruguayan’s situation with the club is sad.
Meanwhile, Saha thinks that the former Napoli forward would help improve both Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford due to the competition that his arrival would bring.
“Manchester United are the Premier League team that need to strengthen the most in January and they should look at signing Edinson Cavani from PSG,” he said.
“They need to bring in players to challenge the existing players and create competition; Cavani would push Rashford and Martial and make them even better.”
