    United remain interested in Brighton midfielder Baleba after balking at a £100m valuation last summer and have continued internal discussions about a future bid as they look for long-term midfield reinforcements despite already spending about £230m on transfers earlier this season. Coach Hurzeler has admitted that talk of a “big, big offer” from United affected the 21-year-old emotionally, while Baleba says he put extra pressure on himself but is working every day to rediscover last season’s level, insisting his focus stays on Brighton despite persistent links.

    Grealish skipped Everton’s 0-0 draw at Burnley after a London night out with Walker that reportedly included Winter Wonderland, a Mayfair dinner and a late visit to a Leicester Square strip club, with the pair said to have spent around £20,000 in total. Moyes said a “bug” left Grealish feeling sick despite training on Tuesday and stressed he would not expand on the illness, while also citing concurrent absences for Dewsbury-Hall, Branthwaite, Ndiaye and Gueye, and expressing hope his City loanee returns to training later this week.

    United are in serious talks with Auxerre forward Lassine Sinayoko, whose deal expires next summer, aiming to secure a pre-contract for a free transfer at the end of the 2025-26 season while he features for Mali at AFCON. Having already added Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, Amorim still wants more attacking depth and values Sinayoko’s versatility across the front line. United are now focused on finalising personal terms this month, viewing the Auxerre striker as a low-cost way to deepen their long-term forward options.

    Spurs face Manor Solomon dilemma as Villarreal loan sours

    Solomon’s second loan spell, this time at Villarreal, has stalled after a bright start, with just 358 minutes and one goal across 11 games leaving the winger frustrated. His loan deal reportedly contains a clause allowing an early January termination. Villarreal could cut the Israeli’s spell short to free wages and a squad spot, forcing Spurs to decide whether to reintegrate him for the run-in or arrange another short-term move. With game time limited in Spain and previous Leeds loan experience, Solomon’s next step will shape his stalled Premier League career.

    Arteta vows Arsenal will fight City to the finish after title-race response

    December 2025

    City briefly went top after a late Cherki winner at Forest, but Arsenal reclaimed first place by edging Brighton 2-1, with Odegaard’s early strike and a Rutter own goal enough despite Gomez pulling one back to set up a nervous finish at the Emirates. Arteta admitted feeling “hacked off” by last season’s home draw with Brighton but praised his side’s resilience despite another unconvincing display. He insisted Arsenal are ready to push City all the way, treating routine-looking games as must-win tests in a title race decided by tiny margins.

    Palmer started and helped Chelsea into a first-half lead through Joao Pedro, but was substituted on 72 minutes for Estevao Willian at 1-1, reacting angrily as Villa completed a 2-1 comeback win via an Ollie Watkins brace. Maresca played down Palmer’s visible frustration, praising his work on and off the ball and stressing rotation ahead of another game in 48 hours. Chelsea’s failure to protect their advantage allowed Villa to claim an 11th straight win, deepening scrutiny on the Blues’ late-game management.

    After Everton’s 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal, Grealish travelled to London to meet Walker at Winter Wonderland before a lavish night out that included dinner at Bagatelle and thousands of pounds spent on drinks, ending at Platinum Lace strip club. Grealish’s group reportedly ordered “hundreds” of Jagerbombs at £14 each and ran up a £3,500 club bill before leaving at 4am, then continued drinking back at their hotel. Both players had club-sanctioned time off, with sources insisting Grealish declined lap dances and focused only on late-night drinks.

    December 2025

    The Lakers have ruled Austin Reaves out for a minimum of four weeks after scans confirmed a strained gastrocnemius muscle in his left calf, an issue that previously cost him three games and now halts a career-best season in which he is averaging 26.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists. Reaves aggravated the calf after returning from an earlier strain, coming off the bench against Phoenix and then starting on Christmas versus Houston before exiting at halftime with 12 points. With a re-evaluation due late January, the Lakers must cover heavy minutes and playmaking in his absence.

    Kon Knueppel left the Hornets’ clash with the Magic due to a right ankle injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game, cutting short a promising outing in which the No. 4 overall pick had already scored a team-high 16 points for Charlotte. The rookie, averaging 19.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists across his first 30 NBA games, had appeared in every contest this season before this setback. Charlotte confirmed his absence for the rest of the night, with further evaluation to determine how long he will be sidelined.

    December 2025

    Steven Gerrard has admitted he rejected what he called the “perfect” chance to return as Rangers manager, choosing instead to step back from frontline coaching after difficult spells at Aston Villa and Al-Ettifaq while he reassesses which opportunity truly fits his family and career priorities. Explaining his decision, Gerrard said he is enjoying time with family, part-time TV work and commercial engagements, and has already spoken with several clubs without feeling the right connection. He insists he is under no pressure to rush back, stressing his next move must be carefully chosen.
