Former Fulham and Everton striker Brian McBride says Kylian Mbappe should move to Manchester United as opposed to Premier League rivals Liverpool. The ex-U.S..A international thinks that a chance to lift a club from the doldrums would solidify the Paris Saint-Germain man's reputation. “But if you really want to say ‘I’ve brought a club out of mediocrity, that used to be the prominence, [Manchester United] would be the place to go," McBride is qouted as saying by the <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1195908/Transfer-news-LIVE-Man-Utd-swap-Mbappe-Liverpool-Chelsea-Arsenal-gossip-updates" target="_blank">Express</a>.

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce is looking forward to more 'good news' at St. James's Park after a chat with sporting director Lee Charnley this week. Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has already signed a new six-year deal at the club, and now Bruce expects more players to follow suit. The Longstaff brothers, Sean and Matty, are seen as a priority according the <a href="https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-contract-dubravka-longstaff-17148083" target="_blank">Newcastle Chronicle</a>.

Antonio Conte is worried about the depth of the squad he coaches at Inter and has identified Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen as a solution says <a href="https://sport.sky.it/calciomercato/2019/10/27/calciomercato-inter-vertonghen-tottenham" target="_blank">Sky Sports Italia</a>. Vertonghen is out of contract in North London at the end of the season and will be available for free at that time. He could sign a pre-contract agreement in January, or even make a move at a discount. The latter is unlikely, according to the report, which asserts that any business done in the winter transfer window will focus on the midfield.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may be able to sign a player Manchester United refused to allow his predecessor Jose Mourinho to buy. <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1196187/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Ole-Gunnar-Solskjaer-Jose-Mourinho-Jerome-Boateng" target="_blank">The Express</a> say that Bayern Munich have offered out of favour defender Jerome Boateng to the Red Devils as they look to cash in on the ex-Germany international before his contract expires. The changes in Boateng's status in Bavaria means that Solskjaer will not have to pay the £50 million ($64m) fee the club refused Mourinho though the report doesn't mention a new price for the 31-year-old.

Barcelona are keeping their eye on Inter midfielder Stefano Sensi,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/sensi-gusta-barcelona-7702870" target="_blank">Sport</a>&nbsp;reports.

Guangzhou Evergrande coach Fabio Cannavaro has seen his future called into question after the club released a statement saying he must attend a 'Corporate Culture Class' at the Chinese Super League side's headquarters. Cannavaro has overseen a drastic downturn in form across the past few months after a fine start to the season, with only one win being recorded since mid-August. Now, with second-placed Shanghai SIPG next up in the CSL calendar, it would appear that the club are making moves to pull themselves out of their current slump, which could spell bad news for the former&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;and&nbsp;Juventus&nbsp;defender. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/cannavaro-future-up-in-the-air-as-guangzhou-evergrande-boss/1amz07aalqara16v00cn47g1tu" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Ajax would not get in Erik ten Hag's way of rejoining Bayern Munich if the German giants come in for him, director Marc Overmars says. The Ajax boss coached the German champions' reserves during the Pep Guardiola era before returning to Netherlands to coach Utrecht and then move to Amsterdam. His work at Ajax has caught the attention of several top teams, with Bayern heavily linked to him and, although Overmars wants him to stay, the club will not block his move. "You know, you always have to be realistic," he told Fox Sports.&nbsp;"When you get such big clubs, how often do you get such a chance?"

Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen have taken time out of preparing for their tilt at the Champions League to watch a duo who ply their trade in the less glamourous surroundings at Preston North End. <a href="https://thesun.co.uk">The Sun</a> reports the Bundesliga club have sent scouts to Deepdale to cast their eye over Ben Davies and Tom Barkhuizen. Preston are the surprise package of the Championship so far this season, and are currently in second place in the table. Their performances have apparently attracted the notice of the German club, according to the report.

Barcelona misfit Carles Alena could be on the way out of Catalunya in January with Tottenham a possible destination as the London club seek to replace Christian Eriksen. The Danish midfielder's contract is up at the end of this season and he is expected to leave, while Alena hasn't featured for the Blaugrana since the opening game of the season. Alena, a La Masia product, is thought to be willing to leave his childhood team in order to get first team football by <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20191027/471221828885/fc-barcelona-barca-carles-alena-enero.html?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=md" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>.

Dani Ceballos's impressive play on-loan at Arsenal could help parent club Real Madrid secure their number one target Kylian Mbappe. <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1196336/Real-Madrid-Kylian-Mbappe-transfer-Arsenal-news-Dani-Ceballos-loan-Zinedine-Zidane" target="_blank">The Express</a> says that the return of Ceballos, as well as a slew of other loan stars, could allow Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane to improve his squad for free, leaving money for the capture of the Paris Saint-Germain forward. Mbappe has long been a target of the Spanish giants, even making a visit while with Monaco in 2013, and the form of Ceballos in north London may be key in him sealing the deal in the summer of 2020.

Sevilla have joined the race to sign Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic, with Manchester United also heavily linked with the Croatian. The Spanish side have scored just 11 goals from their nine La Liga games this season, and could turn to the Juve striker in the January transfer window. The 33-year-old has seemingly been left out in the cold by Maurizio Sarri for the majority of the campaign, and <a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/spanish-football/2019/10/26/5db485cfe2704ea3708b45ef.html" target="_blank">Marca</a> report that he could be on his way to Spain at the turn of the year.

Chelsea's&nbsp;Olivier Giroud is wanted by Ligue 1 side Lyon, who&nbsp;will make a move for the France striker&nbsp;if their current forward Moussa Dembele chooses to leave the club. According to <a href="https://soccerlink.fr/" target="_blank">Soccer Link</a>, Dembele is still a transfer target for Manchester United, and therefore the French side&nbsp;will turn to Giroud should they lose their star man. Dembele has seven league goals this season, while Giroud has found game time hard to come by under Frank Lampard.

Jack Rodwell's surprise switch to Roma may be off the cards, with the club's sporting director&nbsp;Gianluca Petrachi unsure as to whether or not the midfielder can improve their performances. The former Blackburn man may also have to battle it out with ex-Empoli midfielder&nbsp;Marcel Buchel for a place within the squad, and <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/revealed-why-jack-rodwell-may-not-join-roma-after-all-19179" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a> reports that Roma will only be able to make a move for one of them.

Norwich manager Daniel Farke has declared the club don't need to sell players to survive in the Premier League and they would be willing to turn down massive offers for their stars.&nbsp; "Sometimes a player develops quicker than a club and you have to accept it if a player wants to have a bigger move and that there are bigger clubs in world football than we are," Farke said. "But there is no financial pressure on us - we don't have to sell any player even if there is an offer of £200 million. We don't need the money to keep the club going."
