In what has become a Championship edition of Football Transfer Gossip, there is plenty of interest from the top flight in two second-tier stars…Chelsea and Liverpool are two Premier League clubs in need of midfield recruits and are expected to be busy recruiting in that department in 2023.
Liverpool’s midfield issues have been very well documented for the last year or so, with their usual heavy metal trio in the middle of the pitch looking old and a bit rubbish this season. They signed Arthur Melo on loan last summer, but he has played once before picking up a long-term injury. According to French outlet Jeunes Footeux, the Reds and Blues will duel for the signing of Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge. The Norwegian has been linked with a transfer to the top flight ever since the Blades were relegated, with Arsenal once expected to complete the double signing of him and Aaron Ramsdale.
Another player who has been constantly linked with a transfer in recent seasons; Sarr was relegated with the Hornets in 2020 and many expected him to leave. He stayed and was brilliant in the Championship as his side returned to Our League. Watford were relegated again last season and once again he was widely expected to finally get a big move.
