The latest Premier League transfer rumours featuring news from Spurs, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Southampton.
Welcome to Saturday’s dose of all the biggest Premier League transfer rumours currently floating around the world’s media – and today, we kick things off with news of a surprising deal between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur which appears to be in the works.
According to Football Insider, United are getting ready to go back in for Spanish left-back Sergio Reguilón, the Spurs defender who had an undistinguished loan spell at Old Trafford before spending the second half of last season at Brentford.

Apparently the Red Devils want the 27-year back despite struggling to set the world alight and are tempted by a cut-price tag of around £10m – a “huge loss” of more than £20m less than Spurs signed him for from Real Madrid back in 2020. Apparently Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou just wants him “off the books.”
The 3AM Verdict: Spurs letting Reguilón go on the cheap is probably a necessity at this point as the club continue to shed their large number of unwanted left-backs, but it’s a little less clear as to why United would want to spend £10m on him. Presumably he would be seen as a back-up for Luke Shaw, and maybe it would also reflect on concerns over Tyrell Malacia’s long-term fitness, but it still feels like it would be a slightly underwhelming signing if they do make it.
Villa hot shot set for sudden departure
Moussa Diaby has only been in Birmingham for a year, but according to a new report from Caught Offside he could be on his way out of Villa Park already, with the club-record signing drawing interest from Saudi Arabia and Newcastle United. Feel free to insert your own jokes about that being the same thing.
Diaby, who cost a reported £51.9m when he arrived from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, scored 10 goals in all competitions last season but with Al Hilal allegedly ready to make a €60m (£50.4m) opening bid already, Aston Villa could content themselves with turning a small profit on the Frenchman. At Ittihad and the Magpies are also taking stock of the situation, while it’s “unclear how receptive the Midlands-based side would be” to a bid, per the report.

The 3AM Verdict: Diaby may not have lived up to the status of most expensive player in the club’s history but his speed, directness and goal threat made for a dangerous pairing with Ollie Watkins and although his form flagged at times last season, it would be surprising if Villa moved on so quickly. We’re taking this with a pinch of salt for now, but if the Saudi interest is serious then we know the money can get pretty silly pretty quickly.
Saints ‘leading the race’ for Senegal starlet
Many fans who spend a little too much time on social media may recall a sensational goal which went viral in October, an effort from the French league which saw a Metz midfield score from inside his own half. Well, according to Sport Witness, the scorer of that very goal could be on his way to Southampton.
The player in question is 20-year-old Lamine Camara, who didn’t score any other league goals all season but did draw some warm reviews for his performances for his combative performances and direct playing style. Now the Saints are “leading the race” for his signature following Metz’s relegation, although they do face competition from Monaco – the very side Camara scored that wondergoal against.
The 3AM Verdict: Camara is a talented player with a great work ethic – he’s very effective off the ball and a strong midfield runner who can open up space going forward, although his passing range and reading of the game require work. With no transfer fee suggested it’s hard to judge any proposed deal but he’s got the talent to be worth some investment. This could be smart business from Southampton – the next Roméo Lavia, perhaps?
