Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news and rumours, including Andreas Pereira's possible switch to Marseille and the future of Manchester City's James McAtee.

Fulham are reportedly concerned about the future of midfielder Andreas Pereira this month.

The 29-year-old has been a star performer for the Cottagers over the past few seasons and has provided three goal contributions in the Premier League this term.

Pereira was previously on the books of Manchester United, before securing a permanent switch to Marco Silva's side on their return to the top flight during the summer of 2022.

Since making the switch across Premier League battlelines in 2022, Pereira has featured on 99 occasions for Fulham, making the net ripple 10 times.

According to The Times, Fulham are stressing over the future of influential playmaker Pereira, who has 18 months left on his Craven Cottage contract.

The Cottagers are supposedly concerned that French giants Marseille could renew their interest in the Brazilian star during the January transfer window.

Fulham had to stave off admirers of the 23-year-old during the summer trading point, with Silva's side rejecting a £20m bid for the nine-time Brazil international.

Man City star McAtee to depart for Celtic in January?

Elsewhere in the Premier League, a number of top-flight suitors are said to be targeting the services of a potential future England regular.

As per Football Insider, the likes of Fulham, West Ham United and Celtic have been given a major boost in the race for Manchester City youngster James McAtee.

The report claims that the 22-year-old is looking to secure a loan move to a top-flight outfit during the current January transfer window.

The Citizens academy graduate has struggled for regular game time in the side of Pep Guardiola, playing for just 26 minutes across three Premier League appearances this term.

Despite Celtic possessing the ability to provide McAtee with Champions League football, it is believed that the Bhoys are behind the aforementioned English clubs in the hunt for the playmaker.

The England Under-21 international has experience of operating in the Premier League on a regular basis already, having featured in 30 matches in the division while on loan at Sheffield United during the 2023-24 campaign.

Palace man Hughes to move across London?

A more experienced member of this season's Premier League cast, Will Hughes is approaching a critical junction of his career at Crystal Palace.

The 29-year-old's Selhurst Park deal expires at the conclusion of the term, meaning that he is facing an uncertain future in 2025.

Palace possess the option to extend Hughes's deal by a further 12 months, although the midfielder is currently free to depart in the summer.

With that in mind, London clubs Fulham, West Ham and Brentford are all eyeing up a swoop for Hughes at the end of the term, according to Football Insider.

The former Watford man has been an integral part of Oliver Glasner's plans at Selhurst Park this season, starting 12 Premier League matches.

Hughes donned the captain's armband for the match against Southampton last Sunday, when the Eagles secured a much-needed victory over the struggling Saints.
