GOOD MORNING FOOTBALL FANS
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo wants to make history by playing in a record sixth World Cup.
Ronaldo has already had a stellar international career with Portugal, as he has won Euro 2016.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is also the all-time top international goalscorer with a whopping 115 goals in 182 appearances for his country.
SunSport understand the forward is keen to play up in the 2026 tournament, being hosted in the US, Canada and Mexico.
The 36-year-old is totally fit and keeps in top shape while having an outstanding injury-free record.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are ‘open’ to allowing Dele Alli to leave in the upcoming January transfer window.
Alli has fallen out of favour under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo after a series of underwhelming performances in recent years, which also cost him a place in the England squad.
According to The Athletic, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is now more open on letting the midfielder go after snubbing a bid from Paris Saint-Germain last January.
PSG are no longer keeping tabs on the 25-year-old but Newcastle are said to be keen.
And Chelsea risk losing Andreas Christensen, whose contract expires in June 2022, if they fail to act soon.
Talks over a new contract for Christensen are understood to have stalled, leaving the centre-back free to speak to rivals as early as January.
According to Goal, there has been no contact between the Blues and the Denmark international in two months.
Manager Thomas Tuchel is desperate to keep the 25-year-old, who is understood to be keen to stay in west London, and Chelsea have offered a new four-year deal with an option to extend for a fifth.
But the proposal currently on the table would keep the Dane among the lowest earners in the squad.
Finally, Newcastle are interested in signing United star Jesse Lingard ahead of the January transfer window.
Lingard has been struggling to make Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting line-up and appears to be looking for more minutes.
The winger has been linked with a number of teams, including the Magpies who have just turned into the world’s most expensive club after a £300million takeover.
West Ham are also said to be keeping tabs on the England international after his impressive loan stint at the London Stadium last season
