No Manchester United, qualquer abordagem por Eddie Howe poderia vir com a exigência de levar toda a sua comissão técnica (Express), e o clube deveria pagar £6 milhões de compensação ao Newcastle para contratá-lo, segundo o Telegraph.
O dono do Bournemouth, Bill Foley, aprovou mais um contrato recorde do clube para Alex Scott, o meia inglês de 23 anos, com Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal e Tottenham de olho (Teamtalk).
O United também foi informado de que precisaria de mais de £70 milhões para contratar Lewis Hall, lateral-esquerdo de 22 anos do Newcastle (Football Insider), enquanto o Ajax quer tornar definitivo o empréstimo do atacante do Wolves e da Nigéria Tolu Arokodare, de 25 anos, segundo a Sport Witness.
No Crystal Palace, o clube procuraria um treinador atualmente desempregado se demitisse Pierre Sage (Football Insider), com Thomas Frank e Sean Dyche entre os candidatos, segundo o The I.
