– Manchester United will provide “big competition” in the race to sign Sporting CP‘s Viktor Gyökeres next summer, reports Christian Falk (via CaughtOffside). The Swedish forward has been on fire this season, scoring 16 goals in 11 league games to date. Falk reports that United hold a key advantage over other clubs who wish to sign Gyökeres, as incoming manager Rúben Amorim has already worked with the 26-year-old this season at Sporting. The Red Devils also retain an interest in RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Šeško, who is expected to change clubs next summer.
– Bayern Munich are closely monitoring Jonathan David‘s situation at Lille as the German club look to bolster their forward line, reports Florian Plettenberg. The 24-year-old will likely be available on a free transfer next summer, as his current Lille deal expires in 2025. David is one of several strikers on Bayern’s list of targets who could provide some much-needed competition for England‘s Harry Kane. Almost all top European clubs are said to be interested in signing David next summer, who has scored seven goals in Ligue 1 this season.
– Florian Plettenberg also reports that Mats Hummels could be on the move this winter if his situation at AS Roma doesn’t improve under new manager Claudio Ranieri. The German centre-back has made just one appearance in Serie A this season, having joined the club from Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer The 35-year-old has also “not ruled out” the possibility of retiring from football should he continue to be benched. Roma have been informed about the centre-back’s career plans.
– Ruud van Nistelrooy has applied for the vacant managerial position at Coventry City, reports TalkSPORT. The Dutchman is searching for a new job after leaving his position as caretaker manager of Manchester United, following the appointment of Rúben Amorim. Van Nistelrooy, who previously managed PSV, has declared his intent to carve out a coaching career in England — which could begin with him succeeding Mark Robins at Coventry City.
