The latest edition of Football Transfer News focuses on interest from Liverpool<\/a> in striker Timo Werner<\/a>. There is also a look at the future of Victor<\/a> Moses<\/a>, Isco and Hassam Aouer. Finally, a surprise move could be on the cards for Mesut Ozil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Latest On Timo Werner<\/a>, Isco, Ozil, Moses and Aouer<\/h1>\n

Moses Return to Palace<\/h2>\n

After playing a key role under Antonio Conte, Victor Moses<\/a><\/span> has not been a part of Maurizio Sarri’s plans at Chelsea<\/a>. With only two league appearances this season, Moses seems likely to move in January. Leading the race for the winger are\u00a0his former side, Crystal Palace<\/a>. Moses came through the Palace academy, spending nine years with the club. Competition may come from Wolves<\/a> and West Ham<\/a>\u00a0but Palace are confident of getting their man.<\/span><\/p>\n

Werner to Bolster Liverpool Attack?<\/h2>\n

Reports in Germany suggest that Liverpool lead the race for highly-coveted Timo Werner. The Leipzig striker had been expected to join Bayern Munich<\/a> but is now said to prefer a move to Anfield. Due to Werner only having 18 months left on his contract, the fee Leipzig demand is limited. Liverpool have a history of dealing with Leipzig, having agreed a deal for Naby Keita<\/a> this time last year. Werner would be a lethal addition to Liverpool’s already strong attack. With ten goals this season, Werner’s pace and quality could be the final piece to a successful title charge.<\/p>\n

Aouer Wanted by Guardiola<\/h2>\n

Manchester City<\/a> have turned their attention to Lyon’s Houssem Aouer. The 20-year-old is seen as a long-term replacement for Fernandinho<\/a>. Ajax’s Frenkie De Jong had been City’s primary target<\/a>, but intense interest from Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> and Barcelona<\/a> have forced the club to reconsider. Aouer, a France U21 international, impressed against City in the Champions League this season. However, Aouer’s contract runs until 2023; consequently, Lyon are well positioned to demand a large fee.<\/p>\n

Ozil Out, Isco In?<\/h2>\n

Mesut Ozil could leave Arsenal<\/a>, with reports claiming he is being shopped around.<\/a> Ozil, Arsenal’s top earner, has not started the last two games. Unai Emery spoke this week about picking players irrespective of salary and appeared to call for more commitment from Ozil. <\/a><\/p>\n

Should Arsenal manage to offload him, the funds would likely be reinvested. A touted replacement is Real Madrid’s<\/a> Isco. The Spain international has struggled throughout his Madrid career to secure a regular starting position. With Spain boss Luis Enrique admitting Isco needs to be playing more<\/a> to keep his international career alive, a move could be on the cards. Arsenal would likely face competition from Chelsea<\/a>. Due to Ozil’s high wages, a sale may be necessary before a move can be made.<\/p>\n

One option being reported today is a possible swap for Ozil and Isco. However, whether Madrid are willing to take a 30-year-old Ozil back could be the stumbling block to a trade deal.<\/p>\n
