Premier League clubs fighting to sign Frenkie de Jong

The Dutchman did not leave in the summer and has just put in a great performance

Clubs in the Premier League are following Frenkie de Jong closely. The Dutchman wanted to stay at Barca in the summer despite the rumours that teams wanted him in England. He’s not a key starter for Xavi but did play well against Villarreal. With Barcelona heading out of the Champions League, De Jong might change his mind.

ESPN say the player could leave in January for the Premier League. United wanted him last summer and now Chelsea and Liverpool would like him. The Blues need replacements for Kante and Jorginho, who are out of contract in 2023, and De Jong would be a great option.

United tried everything last summer but did not get him. We’ll see what happens, but Xavi does like De Jong and his Villarreal performance at pivot could earn him more time.
