The transfer rumours are beginning to trickle in

So far rumours are Inter & AC Milan looking interested in Robinson.

Aston Villa and Fulham are interested in Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie.
A Bosman arrival from AC Milan in the summer, Kessie has struggled to make an impact this season.
New Villa boss Unai Emery is keen, where an offer of €14m s being readied for the January market.
However, Fulham are also interested and prepared to bid €22m.
Other Rumours
Fulham interest in Arsenal defender Cedric Soares.
Fulham are being linked with a winter swoop for Sao Paulo ace Pablo Maia along with Newcastle.
Fulham and Crystal Palace both want to sign Man Utd's Aaron Wan-Bissaka in January

It's not a world cup without a transfer window!

I'd love Wan-Bissaka, but I doubt the funds are there for a permanent move in January. I expect he'll go on loan to Palace (we've used both our Prem loan slots).

Cedric Soares wants to leave Arsenal and is being linked with everyone. He has a contract until 2024, but we might be able to pick him up for a nominal fee. He could be a good signing on that basis.

Franck Kessie would be a great signing, very much a "believe it when I see it". Hopefully we can get the Pablo Maia deal done though, he'd be great cover in the midfield. Anyone else worried that we'll sign a random Costa Rican after they beat Japan? Ragnar Sigurdsson flashbacks!
 
The Cedric Soares rumours continue.
Now also rumour we are after Doucore from Everton along with Forest. Is another player Silva should know from his Watford days, but I'd give him a good medical, seems to have a hamstring problem, so don't want another Kongolo.

Well that was all last minute again
Sasa Lukic in from Torino for £8m (good purchase, will he become 1st choice DM)
Cedric Soares on loan from Arsenal (good cover for Tete who at present is 1 of the top defenders in the Premier stats)
Shane Duffy put on a permanent contract for 6 months to accommodate the Soares loan. ( Cover for any run of CB injuries)

Out goings
Nat Chalobah to WBA
Onomah given a free (PNE + more interested now)
Knockaert gone to Huddersfield Town

Limbo
Mbabu never got a move so remains at Motspur Park
Muniz never got another club and stays at Middlesborough (he'd be better off coming back)

Since Muniz is listed as an academy scholar on the revised PL squad list (as of 3 days ago), would we be able to recall and him play him immediately if necessary?

Lukic will more likely be competition for the CM spot with Reed, although I am interested to see if he can cover Palhinha for when the inevitable happens.
