TRANSFER GOSSIP COLUMN: Man United set their sights on Barcelona defender, Newcastle and Spurs prepare to battle for Juventus starlet and Chelsea enter talks over Brazilian wonderkid

With the January transfer window drawing ever closer, it only makes sense that transfer rumours are beginning to grow. 

Namely, the likes of Jadon Sancho, Kalvin Phillips and Raphael Varane are all players who's futures could take a new turn during the winter window. 

Sancho has remained an outcast at United after falling out with Erik ten Hag, with some fearing that former Real Madrid defender Varane has met the same fate.

Meanwhile, across Manchester, Pep Guardiola has admitted that he struggles to see the England international in his future plans. 

With that in mind, here, Mail Sport takes you through all the biggest transfer rumours on Monday.
