Manchester City want to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur

Pep Guardiola asks the Manchester City board to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. Elsewhere, Inter Milan eye a swap deal for Christian Eriksen with multiple Premier League giants, Dayot Upamecano "will leave" RB Lepzig in the summer and Chelsea are willing to let Fikayo Tomori leave on loan in January.

Guardiola keen for Kane to join Manchester City

Pep Guardiola has asked the Manchester City board to "investigate the possibility" of signing Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, according to the Independent. The Catalan coach recently signed a two-year contract extension with the Premier League club and during his negotiations, he "namechecked" Kane as a potential signing. The 27-year-old is said to be willing to consider his future in north London if Spurs fail to win a trophy this season. Kane played a key role in defeating Guardiola's City side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening.

***: Who wouldn't want Harry Kane in their team at the moment? The England international seems to have taken his game to another level this season - bagging assists as well as goals. Guardiola would've had the best seat in the house for Manchester City's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday evening. It wouldn't be a surprise if he namechecked Kane to the City board once again after that match. Pep does have a problem though. Sergio Aguero's contract is up at the end of the season. Gabriel Jesus hasn't proven that he is the number nine to take City forward - so the club will be assessing the potential options to replace the Argentine. Erling Haaland has been linked in recent weeks, and now Kane has been mentioned. One of those two would be ideal.

Inter eye Eriksen swap deal with Man Utd or Arsenal

Inter Milan are ready to offload Christian Eriksen - less than a year after his arrival from Tottenham Hotspur. The Danish playmaker has failed to live up to expectations at San Siro and the Mail have reported that the Serie A side are prepared to offer him to Premier League clubs Manchester United and Arsenal as part of an ambitious swap deal. Inter would demand either Fred or Granit Xhaka from the Premier League pair in exchange for Eriksen, but neither club seem very enthusiastic about the proposition from the Italians. The Mail state that Paris Saint-Germain seem the "most likely destination" for the 28-year-old, with a swap for Leandro Paredes being a viable option.

Upamecano ‘will leave’ Leipzig in summer

Dayot Upamecano "will leave" RB Leipzig next summer according to former Norwegian footballer and Bild columnist Jan Aage Fjortoft. The French defender signed a new three-year deal at the Bundesliga club back in July, but the contract extension was reportedly only to postpone his "inevitable exit". Fjortoft revealed that German champions Bayern Munich are joined by Premier League trio Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City in the battle for Upamecano. Bayern's pursuit is dependent on the potential exit of David Alaba, whose current contract expires in the summer.

Tomori to leave on loan in January

Chelsea are prepared to allow centre-back Fiyako Tomori to leave Stamford Bridge on loan in January, according to the Telegraph. The 22-year-old backed out of a deadline-day loan move to West Ham back in October, leaving Blues boss Frank Lampard with five centre-backs in his squad. German international Antonio Rudiger was previously frozen out, but returned to the starting eleven for Chelsea's 2-0 win against Newcastle on Saturday. Tomori has now found himself falling down to the bottom of the pecking order at Chelsea and will explore the possibility of a loan move once the winter window opens.
