Transfer Gossip: Frenkie de Jong U-turn ignites January move with frontrunner from Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea named; failed Arsenal deal branded lucky escape
One of Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea have received encouragement over signing Frenkie de Jong, potentially as early as January, while a transfer Arsenal ultimately avoided making has been branded a lucky escape. Fabrizio Romano later reported Premier League interest in De Jong remains, though a deal can’t happen unless De Jong softens his stance. United and Chelsea pursued De Jong last summer, while Liverpool have reportedly ‘made contact with De Jong’s representatives’ since then. If De Jong’s stance on a move truly has shifted, we could see him in the Premier League – potentially at Stamford Bridge – in early 2023. An aborted Arsenal transfer has been branded a lucky escape following confirmation the Gunners tried to sign an ex-Rangers stand-out last summer.
