Liverpool enquire about shock Dembele loan deal

The Premier League champions have suddenly got their A-game on in the transfer window upon finally sealing a deal for Thiago Alcantara. The former Barcelona ace arrived on Friday in a long-term deal.

But Liverpool are far from done yet, with a current Blaugrana man in Ousmane Dembele next on their radar. The Reds have allegedly enquired over a potential loan agreement for the 23-year-old. [Diario Sport]

Sheffield United & Crystal Palace compete for Brewster

While Liverpool make strides in the transfer window, Rhian Brewster could find himself out of the door before the October 5 deadline.

The 20-year-old is an unquestionable top prospect, but long-term injuries and a lack of opportunities have taken their toll. Therefore, he left for Swansea City on loan mid-way into last season in the Championship.

An upgrade to a Premier League this season, however, seems likely with Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder confirming talks over a loan deal amid interest from Crystal Palace as well. [Yorkshire Live]

Could Otamendi and Kounde trade places?

Nicolas Otamendi could be on his way out as Manchester City consider proposing a trade deal to Sevilla for fellow center-back Jules Kounde.

The 21-year-old, who also interests Real Madrid and Barcelona, had a solid 2019/20 campaign after helping Sevilla win a record sixth Europa League title. Therefore, City consider him a decent alternative for Kalidou Koulibaly. [Telegraph]
