Premier League transfer rumours amid Mo Salah decision and rivals eye Bundesliga defender
Premier League transfer rumours from Leeds United's top tier rivals
The Premier League is finally heading into the run-in, where things become a lot clearer for those pushing at the top of the table for the title or European places and for those near the bottom who are hoping to avoid dropping down to the Championship.
Leeds United are in a fantastic position to retain their Premier League status for another year when many didn’t give them a chance under boss Daniel Farke, especially when their position in the league was looking perilous before a tremendous run, including results against some of the best sides in the league.
The latest rumours are that Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah is set to stay at Anfield and see out the new contract he signed at the end of last season, according to Football Insider.
This is a significant development after the Egyptian forward was frozen out of the side following a bombshell interview he conducted in the mixed zone at Elland Road after boss Arne Slot failed to turn to him on the bench as the side dropped points in added time.
Last season’s Player of the Year questioned the club and the manager following a string of bad results and said he felt like he was being made to be the scapegoat.
However, after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations in January and speculation rife with links to Saudi Arabia, Salah has returned to the fold and played regularly. Now reports suggest he will see out the remainder of his contract, when before it looked likely he could move on in the summer.
Several leading clubs eye move for Bundesliga defender
There are reports that up to six Premier League clubs could be eyeing a move for Germany defender Nnamdi Collins.
The 22-year-old defender has impressed this season for Eintracht Frankfurt and has caught the attention of some of the biggest sides in the league, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Brentford.
Collins has made 19 appearances in the league and also made six appearances in the Champions League, so he already has experience at the highest level. Primarily a centre back, he can also play at right-back if needed.
