Crystal Palace and West Ham battle for Man City star with £20m 'asking price' as club 'optimistic' of Fulham deal

Another day of Premier League action is in the books, and there is still more to come before we bid goodbye to 2024. Chelsea are in action against Ipswich Town on Monday night, and after the turn of the year, Brentford and Arsenal will face off.

The Premier League table is now at the halfway mark, and it will be interesting to see how it compares to the final table in five months or so. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Premier League.

Pereira interest

Palmeiras are said to be pushing for a deal with Fulham star Andreas Pereira, although the deal is said to be ‘stuck’. That’s according to Bolavip via SportWitness, who say negotiations with the Cottagers have not yielded any kind of agreement.

Marco Silva has recently said that he is aware of interest, but Fulham are not likely to be keen on a January sale. Nevertheless, Palmeiras are said to be ‘optimistic’ about striking a deal in January.

McAtee links

West Ham and Crystal Palace are said to be interested in a deal for Manchester City winger James McAtee. According to GiveMeSport, McAtee is likely to move on from City in January as he looks to secure regular first team football.

Palace and West Ham are said to be tracking the playmaker, who has previously impressed on loan with Sheffield United. It’s unclear how much City would ask for to sell McAtee, but a £20million asking price has been suggested. If the asking price is that much, City may well need to sell for lower with clauses to seal a deal.

Rashford a United ‘issue’

Andy Mitten claims Marcus Rashford has been an issue for Manchester United for some time amid claim the forward could leave the club in the near future. "Every previous manager has had issues with Marcus Rashford. I've spoken to them, I know them,” he told GiveMeSport. “They've told me in confidence going back years and years and years. And the Marcus confounds those opinions by having a really good season.

"From his perspective, there's not a lot of support for him among Manchester United fans. Marcus Rashford is not celebrated by United fans as he once was. His stock is clearly very, very low."
