Fulham handed Liverpool transfer boost as Man Utd 'prepared' to take £30m loss

The Premier League festive fixtures are now over and done with, and we have a normal round of fixtures across this weekend ahead of the FA Cup taking centre stage. Among the fixtures are Tottenham’s home clash with Newcastle United and Crystal Palace’s home date with Chelsea.

Elsewhere. Brentford head to Southampton, West Ham head to Manchester City, Arsenal take on Brighton away from home and Fulham welcome Ipswich Town. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the top flight.

Hughes interest

West Ham are said to be interested in a surprise move for Crystal Palace creative spark Will Hughes. According to Football Insider, the Hammers are considering a move for the midfielder, with Brentford and Fulham also said to be keeping an eye on the situation.

Hughes is out of contract next summer, but crucially, Palace have the option of extending the deal by another 12 months. That will keep the Eagles relaxed as interest around the capital builds.

Robinson boost

There is some good news for Fulham amid reported interest in star full-back Antonee Robinson. Manchester United are said to be interested, while Liverpool have also been tipped to make a move.

But according to ESPN, Liverpool’s interest in Robinson is ‘minimal’. That may not be the case for United, but Fulham will have been more worried about the Liverpool situation, given the Reds are a more attractive destination currently. Robinson is under contract until 2028 as things stand.

Casemiro interest

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is reportedly drawing interest from the Saudi Pro League despite struggling for form this season, leading to reduced opportunities.

Al-Nassr are said to be interested in a move for the veteran midfielder, and according to The Boot Room, the Red Devils will accept around half of what they paid for Casemiro, meaning he could be available for just £30million.
