Peter Ridsdale says Preston North End are targeting at least eight signings

By Total Football News

Leicester City’s Denmark Under-21 keeper Daniel Iversen, who had successful loan spells at Deepdale in 2020-21 and 2021-22, has been strongly linked with a move to the club.

The departure of this season’s leading goalscorer Emil Riis, and of Evans from the playing ranks, means a striker is also a necessity, while the club is also in the market for a midfielder, two wing-backs and one more centre-back.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, while Andrew Robertson is 31, with speculation rife that Bournemouth’s Hungary left-back Milos Kerkez will arrive as his successor.

Former Liverpool and England midfielder Danny Murphy told BBC Sport: “Van

Tottenham still attractive club for prospective signings, says manager Ange Postecoglou

By Total Football News

Ange Postecoglou insists Tottenham remain an attractive proposition for new signings – saying they are “exploring some opportunities” before Monday’s transfer window deadline.

Spurs are 15th in the Premier League following a seven-game winless run in the competition but are in contention for three other trophies this season.

Postecoglou, whose squad has been wrecked by injuries, will be without nine first-team players for Sunday’s league fixture at Brentford.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he should maybe have made summer signings

By Total Football News

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he may have made a mistake by telling the club to scrap plans to buy players last summer.

City are expected to dip into the transfer market this month in an effort to stop their season spiralling out of control.

They have not made a significant signing in January since the arrival of Aymeric Laporte for £57m from Athletic Bilbao in 2018.
