Attacked eyed

United are reportedly interested in landing Ajax attacker Mohammed Kudus. The 22-year-old caught the eye playing for Ghana last month at the World Cup and has scored 10 goals in all competitions for his club so far this season. According to a report by the Daily Star, Erik ten Hag is ‘keen’ to reunite with him in England but his hefty price tag could be a stumbling block.

Defender wanted

Defender Axel Tuanzebe is wanted by Watford, according to his agent Jon Smith. The Hornets are currently eyeing promotion back from the Championship under Slaven Bilic. Smith has told CaughtOffside: “Of course, the player himself will have to keep proving his fitness, but there are several clubs interested – mostly from the Championship. Watford are one side who are keen though.”

Ex-player in suprise switch

Former United player Daley Blind is being linked with a shock switch to Bayern Munich. The 32-year-old is poised to pen a deal until the summer with the Bundesliga giants to add cover to their defensive department, as reported by The Athletic. He had his contract at Ajax mutually terminated this month and subsequently become a free agent.
