1 Giannelli Imbula

Tottenham and Southampton are on alert after it emerged that Giannelli Imbula could be heading for an early Porto exit.

The Portuguese club held off competition from both Premier League sides as well as AC Milan to land Imbula for around £17.5m during the summer, ending one of the longest sagas of the window.

But, according to reports in France, Imbula is finding it hard to adapt to life at Porto.

He has struggled to impress in his first five league appearances and has been hauled off three times.

Now it has been suggested that he is already planning to quit Porto.

AC Milan, desperate to land him last month, could be back in for him, while Saints and Spurs to try their luck at signing him again, too – and they could move as early as January.
