Inter raid: After luring Lukas Podolski to the San Siro, Roberto Mancini is planning on swooping for Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva in this transfer window. The Brazilian signed a ‘long-term’ deal with the Reds back in April 2013 but Mancini sees him as an ideal candidate to bolster Inter’s engine room.

Boring Milner: Liverpool hope to lure James Milner away from Man City as the midfielder delays signing a new deal at Eastlands. Milner wants assurances of his role at City and Brendan Rodgers has pinpointed the industrious England international as his primary transfer target.

Defoe back in the UK: Tottenham have confirmed former striker Jermain Defoe is back at the club…to train. The England international will train with the club’s Development Squad for the next two weeks to maintain fitness ahead of the new MLS season.

Suarez return: Amid the growing storm at Barcelona, several outlets are reporting Luis Suarez could be in line for an extraordinary return to the Premier League. United, City and Chelsea have all been put on red alert as chaos engulfs the Spanish giants. Double swoop for Messi and Suarez, anyone?
