Not a chance unless Ancelotti has a sudden desire to retire. It seems like he's a given for the French NT.

What is Arsenal going to do to replace Jesus? They should really go for Felix since he is available for loan.

Set aside our ability to pull him, but would Rice, after 3 years of media hype buuble, be able to handle it and actually do well here? Or the club will be desperate to repeat the Werner story, but multiple the price? I feel like it just takes too much time and attention to work out in the end…

Man Utd, Arsenal converge on surprise midfield target with transfer fee closely mirroring clever Chelsea coup

Man Utd and Arsenal are both interested in acquiring a left-field midfield target who could cost a similar fee to that of a recent Chelsea signing, per a report.

The Blues will be boosted by the arrival of David Datro Fofana on January 1. The Ivory Coast international, 19, plies his trade for Norwegian side Molde and is representative of Todd Boehly’s plan to invest in the club’s future as much as the present.

Chelsea officially confirmed Fofana will arrive at Stamford Bridge when the January window opens on Sunday (via the BBC).

Given Armando Broja’s ACL injury, Fofana is expected to be immediately integrated into the first-team rather than loaned out.

In any case, today’s update centres around a player Fofana knows well – Molde teammate, Sivert Mannsverk.

The Norway Under-21 international is unlikely to be a familiar name to many at present. However, that’s a situation that could soon change.

Jeunes Footeux report Manchester United, Arsenal and Ajax are all suitably impressed with the central midfielder. As such, all three are mulling whether to make a move.

Exactly when they would lodge any bids isn’t stated, though given we’re on the eve of the winter window opening, a January move would make the most sense.

20-year-old Mannsverk operates primarily in the engine room, though has made his mark in front of goal in the recent past.

Indeed, he scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in Molde’s Norwegian FA Cup victory over Bodo Glimt back in May.

The report adds Molde would command around €10m (approx. £8.8m) for Mannsverk’s services. Anything less and bids will be categorically rejected.

A transfer fee of that size would closely mirror the fee Chelsea have agreed to pay Molde for Fofana. Clearly Norwegian football – and in particular at Molde – is proving a fertile proving ground for promising young players.

Molde is also the club Erling Haaland played for between 2017-19.

Another midfielder to watch for sure is Bilal El Khannous of KRC Genk. Ajax are huge admirers of the 18y old and are rumored preparing an offer of €20m.
 

Small chance probably that Genk will let him go for this fee cause it’s still his first full season plus he has a contract until 2026.

Just add Gvardiol, Davies (they are huge favourites for both) and Reece or Hakimi and that's full starting lineup of world class young players. And GK.
