Liverpool may make January move for Sarr - Sunday's gossip

What the report says

Liverpool are being linked with another January attempt to sign Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr, according to BBC Sport’s roundup of Sunday football gossip. The report says the Premier League club had previously failed to agree a deal for the Senegal international before the summer deadline, but may revisit the move when the transfer window reopens. The same roundup also notes separate speculation around Tottenham forward Richarlison, who is said to be hoping for a switch to the Saudi Pro League after a possible move to Trabzonspor did not come off before the Turkish window closed.

The gossip item adds that Manchester United are continuing to track Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall with a possible summer move in mind. In another update, Arsenal are reported to be close to agreeing a new contract with manager Mikel Arteta while also making progress on extensions for Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Jurrien Timber. These details were attributed by BBC Sport to other media outlets rather than original reporting.

For Liverpool, the interest in Sarr fits a broader pattern of clubs revisiting targets after an unsuccessful summer pursuit. More generally, January and summer transfer windows often prompt renewed negotiations if player availability changes or clubs’ squad needs shift. The roundup does not confirm any deal is in place, only that Liverpool may consider another approach later in the season.
