Man Utd 'accelerate' Fulham transfer plan as West Ham 'identify' replacement for key player

The Premier League table is now beginning to take shape with the season gathering pace. Crystal Palace have been the biggest strugglers from the London sides so far, still searching for their first win of the league campaign after six games.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Fulham have all impressed, while Tottenham are playing catch-up after a below par start. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Premier League clubs as another big weekend comes into view.

Robinson race

Manchester United are said to be pushing ahead with plans to sign Fulham full-back Antonee Robinson, who has also been linked with a move to Liverpool. United have big problems on the left side of defence, with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia still out with injury.

Right-back Diogo Dalot had to play there against Tottenham, with Erik ten Hag desperately needing options on that side. Robinson is seen as the solution, according to Give Me Sport, with United said to be ‘accelerating plans’ to pull off a deal for the American.

Preciado links

West Ham are said to be eyeing a deal to sign Sparta Praha full-back Angelo Preciado as they look to replace Vladimir Coufal, who is on course to leave the club next summer upon the expiration of his contract.

According to TBR Football, Preciado, who is an Ecuador international, is said to be an option after a strong start to this season that has seen him provide two assists from full-back. He is already an experienced player at 26 years of age, and he could be an option for the Hammers, and likely at an affordable price.

McCoist on Ten Hag

Ally McCoist believes it would be ‘madness’ for Manchester United to sack Ten Hag at this point in the season. “It’s difficult to say how long United should give Ten Hag, because they’ve only just extended his contract,” McCoist told talkSPORT. “With the new owners giving him that new deal, it would make sense for them to stick with him no matter what happens in the foreseeable future.

“It would be madness to give him a new contract and then get rid of him straight away, that wouldn’t make any sense whatsoever. Unless there’s a rapid and unbelievable decline in results and standards, I think Ten Hag will be in charge at least until Christmas.”
