He returned to the attention of English audiences last month when he scored two late goals in the Netherlands' epic [£12m move from German side Wolfsburg](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60197489), but only scored twice as the Clarets were relegated to the Championship.

Manchester United want Wout Weghorst, Aston Villa may let Danny Ings go, Chelsea want both Thuram brothers and Real Madrid plan for Jude Bellingham.

Paper Round’s view: Chelsea have unsettled Fernandez with their pursuit of the player but it is slightly unreasonable that once his head has turned, they have started to negotiate for a player who has an existing release clause. At 30 this could be his last chance for a big contract, so he may be willing to move. The Sun reports that Everton and Crystal Palace are both keen on Danny Ings, with the 30-year-old not a starter under new Aston Villa boss Unai Emery.

Wout Weghorst to Manchester United: Explaining the proposed deal ... (The Athletic)

Manchester United have spoken to Burnley about loaning Wout Weghorst. This is what the deal entails and what they would be getting.

[Aston Villa](https://theathletic.com/football/team/aston-villa/) in the penultimate game of the season. The latter rating has dropped from his time at Burnley, but that is likely due to his role in possession, as his link-up play volume has dropped dramatically (36 out of 99). His struggles reappeared and he finished the season as a substitute, with [Ashley Barnes](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ashley-barnes-Lr9kAzWx4jPQ45w6/) preferred. With goalkeeper [Emiliano Martinez](https://theathletic.com/football/player/emiliano-martinez-21801z8VmFDeDMt7/) — another member of that Argentina team — out of the equation and the goal gaping, Weghorst just had to avoid the attempted block of [Tyrone Mings](https://theathletic.com/football/player/tyrone-mings-LY3xyd8IwbE5DQbv/) to score. [Lionel Messi](https://theathletic.com/football/player/lionel-messi-HlEFpLdbHt68CnvJ/) at the World Cup, where he refused to back down to a player of the Argentinian’s stature. Playing in a team expected to be the dominant force in games makes a difference, as Burnley were not a side who dominated possession and attacked opponents with regularity. That is further illustrated by his excellent ability to disrupt opposition moves (86 out of 99) by blocking passing lanes and winning possession back. There had in fact been an agreement between the player and club when he signed that if Burnley did not survive he would be allowed to leave to keep his World Cup hopes alive. [Wolfsburg](https://theathletic.com/football/team/wolfsburg/), he prided himself on being one of the fittest players at the club, regularly topping the distance-covered stats. He is stylistically different to anything the club currently has and at 6ft 6in, he offers an alternative method of playing should there be a need to go more direct. [Manchester United](https://theathletic.com/football/team/manchester-united/) may well end up with a big man as their new striker this month. They have not welcomed this proposed disruption to their plans and will likely want to be compensated if they are to assist in the deal.

The perfect fit? Why Ten Hag might sign Weghorst (BBC Sport)

A 30-year-old striker who was loaned to a Turkish club after making a minimal impact in the Premier League... signing for Manchester United?

He is a nice lad too and there is no nonsense with him - Weghorst will put a shift in for the team. He is good at link-up play too, you can give him the ball then play through him. He has brought passion, energy and talent to the team. That is probably the reason Ten Hag is being forced to do loan deals.

Wout Weghorst pleads Besiktas for Manchester United move, Harry ... (Eurosport.com)

Elsewhere, Harry Maguire has laughed off rumours of joining Aston Villa in January, Tottenham Hotspur identify David Raya as a long-term replacement for Hugo ...

The report states that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag wants to keep Maguire at the club until the end of the season at least. The Telegraph also state that Spurs are interested in Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who will also be entering the final year of his contract this summer. Villa is below Maguire’s level, but it is unlikely that United would sell to a top-four rival if he leaves for another Premier League club. The 30-year-old is on a season-long loan at the Turkish club from Burnley so needs to be freed up from his deal with Besiktas in order to move to the Premier League giants. United’s list of targets are obviously limited due to the fact that they are “seeking a low cost loan”. It basically rules out Felix – who will cost a small fortune to bring in for just six months – and Depay’s salary probably isn’t that low.
