Saudi Arabia is Jadon Sancho’s best Man United escape, Kalvin Phillips may get London lifeline, Paul Heckingbottom on the brink
Fulham are ready to offer Manchester City outcast Kalvin Phillips a fresh start in west London, talkSPORT understands.
The Cottagers have earmarked England international Phillips as a potential replacement for Joao Palhinha, who is set to attract fresh interest from Bayern Munich in January.
Palhinha signed a new deal at Fulham after the summer transfer window closed and a move to Bavaria collapsed, but he remains keen to join at the German giants.
Phillips is also on Newcastle's list of targets to fill the void left by the suspended Sandro Tonali.
Sancho's Saudi escape
Saudi Arabia is increasingly looking the most likely way out of his Manchester United nightmare for Jadon Sancho.
Sancho is desperate to quit Old Trafford in January after a public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag that has seen the England winger banished from the first-team squad.
While former club Borussia Dortmund have shown interest in re-signing Sancho they do not have the financial muscle to match his wages at Old Trafford, which are believed to be in excess of £250,000-a-week.
That is where the Saudi Pro League comes in.
Sancho was offered to clubs in Saudi In the days leading up to transfer deadline day, but it was too late to do a deal.

Paul Heckingbottom faces a big fight to keep his job if Sheffield United lose at Arsenal on Saturday.
The Blades have just one point from nine Premier League games since winning promotion from the Championship and boardroom discussions have taken place about whether a change in the dugout improves their chances of staying up.
talkSPORT sources say that if Heckingbottom is relieved of his duties then former manager Chris Wilder would be open to a return to Bramall Lane.
