Ousmane Dembele reportedly already has his sights set on a new home for when his time at Barcelona comes to an end. The Daily Mirror, citing a report from Catalunya Radio, says the 23-year-old forward is keen to rekindle his career with Juventus following a mixed spell in Catalonia. It is not clear however whether he will be able to make a move to Italy next summer, or will need to wait until his contract expires in 2022.

West Brom are reportedly confident of completing a move for Huddersfield forward Karlan Grant before next week’s EFL deadline. According to the Daily Mail, the two clubs are intent on structuring a mutually-beneficial deal for the 23-year-old after reaching a compromise on his £17m asking price.

Staying with the Baggies, the Express & Star says West Brom are among a number of clubs interested in Bournemouth striker Josh King. The 23-year-old has previously been linked with Manchester United, Leicester and Tottenham, but it is understood West Brom have engaged in talks with Bournemouth to determine an exact asking price.
