The attacking midfielder impressed the Red Devils and the Villans by scoring the winner in his side’s 2-1 victory at the weekend.

Wednesday’s Ekstra Bladet states Manchester United, Aston Villa, VfL Wolfsburg, Real Betis, Marseille and PSV Eindhoven are all ‘queuing up’ for the 27-year-old.

The Denmark international has scored seven goals this season and has a deal lasting until 2026. His style of play and football intelligence has seen him attract interest from several clubs.

According to the newspaper, the Danish club valued their star at €10m in the last window, and will have to ‘adjust the price tag’ if the player has to fulfil his wish to move to a top league.

With Manchester United and Aston Villa among the clubs in the picture, Ekstra Bladet say Brøndby sporting director Carsten V. Jensen shouldn’t expect more than €6m for Vallys, even though he’s ‘one of the Superliga’s absolute best players.’

That’s because it’s not often for experienced players from the Danish league to be sold to a top league for a large sum.

Jensen’s desire is for Vallys to end his career at Brøndby but the report says that’s ‘unlikely to happen’.

Hyping up interest from big Premier League clubs, whilst talking down the price doesn’t make a great deal of sense. That could raise suspicion this is more an internal issue between Brøndby and the player.

The 27-year-old spent a year at Standard Liège’s academy before becoming part of Club Brugge’s youth system in 2013. He impressed for the latter and that helped him make his way into their first team a year later.

His displays for the Jupiler Pro League side convinced Watford to invest in his services in 2015.

Oularé finished his debut season with the Hornets with only three appearances as he was overlooked by their then manager, Quique Sánchez Flores.

Watford sent him out on loan to Zulte Waregem, Willem II, Royal Antwerp and Standard Liège for three years, before they sold him to the latter in 2019. The attacker has struggled with fitness and HLN points out that he has missed 701 days due to injuries.

When asked if he would have wanted to change anything from the past, he said: “I would tell my younger self to be patient. In the beginning of my career, things may have happened too quickly. It was also just difficult to stay calm. I played for the reserves of De Rode Duivels.

“I broke through at Club Brugge, the best team in Belgium. The press wrote pages full of all the clubs that were supposedly interested in me. It was about money, a lot of money. Then it’s not easy to make the right choice at that moment, at that age.”

According to HLN, the Belgian made only 13 starts for the first team before Watford paid €8m for his signature.

On his move to Watford, Oularé explained: “I should have been more patient. Stay one or two more years. But I’m not going to say that I regret my choice either. What if I had been given opportunities at Watford and had broken through in England?

“But in retrospect I would approach it differently. I would think more about the transfers I would make. About my entourage and people I surround myself with. I was young. I trusted people quickly, sometimes too quickly. Unfortunately, football is not a world in which you are allowed to do that.”

Oularé returned to Belgium when he joined second division side Lierse Kempenzonen in the last window.

Operating mainly as an attacking midfielder, he’s scored five goals and registered five assists from 14 games this season.

The 26-year-old’s fine form has seen Tottenham take notice and they are closely following him. The report further adds they are ‘seriously considering’ making an offer to secure his services in January.

As it stands, Spurs are still in an active planning phase, to present a ‘tempting proposal’ that matches his performances on the pitch.

It’s claimed Ange Postecoglou’s side keeping tabs on the Spain international’s impressive displays shows their genuine interest in acquiring his signature.

Méndez has a contract lasting until 2028 and Fichajes.net state he could consider leaving La Real to try a new experience in the Premier League.

Even though the outlet has repeatedly insisted the north London club could make an offer for the player, they make no mention of the figure Tottenham are willing to table or the fee needed to convince the La Liga side to sell.

Het Laatste Nieuws now state the purchase option for the 24-year-old’s transfer to Turf Moor was triggered automatically after he made five appearances for Burnley this season.

This will see the Jupiler Pro League side collect €18m from the winger’s permanent sale to the Clarets.

Vincent Kompany’s side have managed only one league win this season, against Luton Town, and the Belgium international was an unused substitute during that tie.

Burnley have collected four points from 10 games and Trésor is yet to taste a league win with his new club. The player’s agent, Shallon Nkeshimana, believes Kompany’s side and Trésor must do better in the league.

“Mike is making minutes in a new competition. The results must be better, but this is a new step for him. He has only just arrived. He likes life there. He recently moved into a house in Manchester, where most of Burnley’s players live,” he told HLN.

Trésor starred for Genk last season, managing eight goals and 24 assists, and this saw him labelled the ‘assist king’ in Belgium. He hasn’t managed to replicate that form at Burnley just yet.

Burnley fans may have to give the attacker some time to adapt to his new surroundings, before he starts to shine for them.

The Japan international arrived in Europe for the first time when Swiss side Grasshoppers took him from Sanfrecce Hiroshima in 2021.

Kawabe’s displays for Grasshoppers caught Wolves’ attention and they secured his services in January 2022. However, the Premier League side allowed him to return to the Swiss club on loan until the end of last season.

The 28-year-old has left Wolves permanently without making an appearance for them. Harkin has now revealed that he was advised to sign the player and explains why he’s pleased to have gone ahead with this operation.

“Even when he was playing in Japan, our scouts already had an eye on him. His two good seasons in Switzerland confirmed their suspicions that he had the physical qualities to be a valuable player in the Belgian league. He was recommended to me, I looked at his images and I was quickly convinced,” he said.

Walfoot claim Harkin ‘congratulates himself’ for having signed the midfielder from Wolves for €1.5m. The cheap deal has worked out well so far for the Jupiler Pro League side as Kawabe has managed three goals and two assists from 12 games this season.

“Hayao was exactly the profile we needed. A player who could help us with more goals with his acumen, passing and scoring ability. It’s amazing how many key passes he’s made already this season. The timing and speed of his balls are usually perfect,” Harkin explained.

Back in February, the midfielder sustained a serious knee injury and was on the sidelines for most of this year, before returning to the pitch on Friday.

D Sports say ‘now the illusion’ for the Tottenham player is to return to Uruguay’s squad for the upcoming international break.

Both Spurs and Uruguay changed managers whilst the 26-year-old was recovering from injury. The former appointed Ange Postecoglou as their new manager in June, a month after Marcelo Bielsa took charge of La Celeste.

Uruguay will face Argentina and Bolivia in World Cup qualifiers in November and D Sports say the hope is for Bentancur to make it to Bielsa’s squad.

The chances of Bentancur’s return to the national seem high improved after his personal physiotherapist, Daniel Fernández, explained to Radio Sport 890 about the work put in by the player to avoid any further setbacks.

“The return was very calm. Rodrigo has a very important spirit, the professionalism and calmness he has led to him being in good shape and returning,” he said, relayed by D Sports.

“We did a very important job so that he is confident and so that the injured leg does not have any difficulties. The volume of work he did to give stability to the leg is very important.”

The South American’s personal coach has also revealed that Uruguay’s coaching staff are in contact with both the player and Tottenham to learn about his physical condition.

“Uruguay’s technical staff is constantly in contact with Rodrigo and Tottenham. They have all their data. He is fit to play, but the coaching staff will evaluate whether he can play the 100 minutes played today,” Fernández explained.

Tottenham’s next tie is against Chelsea on November 6th, and Bentancur may again be in contention to come off the bench.

That’s according to Sky Deutschland, who state the 17-year-old’s ‘strong performances’ have ‘aroused interest’ from the Seagulls.

It’s said Brighton are one of the clubs to have put out feelers for the attacking midfielder.

The Turkey U20 international spent four years in Nürnberg’s youth system before he was promoted to their first team towards the end of last season.

Operating as an attacking midfielder and as a striker, he has scored eight goals and registered two assists from 12 games this season for the second division German club.

Uzun’s deal runs until 2026 and the report claims he could leave his current employer if there’s an offer between €5m and €10m. Sky only mention he has aroused interest from the Premier League side, without making it clear if they are willing to make an offer.

The player will turn 18 years of age next month and that will make him eligible to make a switch to England in January, if Brighton were to secure his services.

The Colombian joined the Magpies from Parma in February 1996 and spent over two years with them before returning to the Italian club in the summer of 1998.

Asprilla has told ESPN F360, relayed by Antena 2, that Newcastle wanted to sign Davor Šuker, and as part of the deal, they were willing to let him join Real Madrid. However, the double deal didn’t take shape because of one key individual.

“At Newcastle, they asked me if I wanted to play for Real Madrid, to swap for Davor Šuker. He was going to England and I was going to Spain, but Capello was there and he didn’t accept,” he said.

Šuker spent three years with Los Blancos before leaving them for Arsenal in 1999 while Fabio Capello had two spells with Real Madrid during his managerial career. The latter’s first spell lasted for 12 months during the 1996/97 season.

The deal to take Šuker to Newcastle and the South American to Real Madrid would have likely been pushed forward during the summer of 1996.

Asprilla was a fan favourite during his time at Newcastle and was part of Kevin Keegan’s squad which finished second in the 1995/96 season. The former striker managed 18 goals and 19 assists from 63 games for the Magpies.

The striker arrived at the Bundesliga side in the summer and has scored six goals from 12 games this season. On Monday, his agent told Sportitalia that he’d held talks with AC Milan in the past and also left the door open for a future move to the San Siro.

Calciomercato relay that and then add that the 20-year-old is open to joining the Serie A side and the Rossoneri are also in favour of his arrival. However, a deal won’t be easy to carry out because of several factors, including Arsenal’s interest.

The report states the Austria international’s valuation has more than doubled from €20m to ‘no less than’ €45-50m.

Apart from the financial aspect, Stefano Pioli’s side will face ‘fierce’ competition from other clubs, and ‘in particular Arsenal’, to secure his services.

It’s claimed the Gunners have had their eyes on the frontman for a while and have had direct relationship with his camp. The close ties between the two parties may help Arsenal to overcome Milan.

That’s according to Tutto Juve, who mention the Blues when explaining Juventus interest in the 19-year-old.

This year, Barco has been used as a left wing-back, left-back and also as a left winger, and has managed a goal and three assists from 27 games. His displays and potential have seen him draw the attention of Chelsea and other clubs.

The Premier League side have set their sights on the teenager and it’s even claimed they have ‘stepped up efforts’ to sign him.

Mauricio Pochettino has Ben Chilwell, Marc Cucurella and Ian Maatsen as the three left-backs in his squad.

Despite having three options, the report claims Chelsea consider one or more of their left-backs are facing an uncertain future, which is why they are ‘looking for a solid replacement’ for the same position.

Tutto Juve explain the west London club are looking at signing Barco ‘next year’, without specifying whether that’s January or after this season.

It won’t be easy for Chelsea to land the Argentina U20 international as the outlet states they will face ‘stiff competition’ from both the Turin club and Manchester City.

Barco has a deal lasting until December 2024 and his immediate focus will be on the Copa Libertadores final against Fluminense this weekend.
