United legend urges club to sign Ozil, Mbappe urged to leave PSG

Paul Scholes tells Manchester United to sign Mesut Ozil, Chelsea eye up a double striker swoop in January and Kylian Mbappe is told to leave Paris Saint-Germain by a Brazilian legend.

Scholes tells United to bring Ozil to Old Trafford

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has urged his former club to bring out-of-favour Arsenal star Mesut Ozil to Old Trafford. The World Cup winner has failed to force his way into the Arsenal team in the 2019-20 season, only starting one Premier League match so far this term and Scholes seems to think that he could get his career back on track by moving to his domestic rivals. Scholes labelled Ozil as a potential "short-term" solution and "the sort of player United could do with".

Chelsea to escape transfer ban and sign striker in Jan

Chelsea are reportedly looking at signing a new striker in January, despite being under a transfer ban for one more window. According to the Sun, the club are confident that their two-window transfer ban - for signing foreign players under the age of 18 - will be lifted in the winter window, which will allow them to sign a new forward as manager Frank Lampard looks for a competent back-up for Tammy Abraham. The Sun state that Chelsea have their eye on Bournemouth's Callum Wilson and RB Leipzig's Timo Werner, and that the club will be willing to allow Olivier Giroud to leave if they can sign a replacement. 

Rivaldo urges Mbappe to leave PSG 

Brazilian legend Rivaldo has told Kylian Mbappe to quit Paris Saint-Germain and move to either England or Spain, according to the Sun. The 47-year-old believes "the best players need to play in the best leagues", which means Mbappe needs to move away from Paris in order to sit at football's top table with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Real Madrid have reportedly held long-term interest in bringing the 20-year-old to the Bernabeu, but have previously been priced out of a potential transfer.
