The transfer ban on Real Madrid means certain papers have gone rumour crazy.

Real, and local rivals Atletico, will not be allowed to buy players for the next two windows so, according to a number of reports, the Spanish giants will go all out this January to fill a squad capable of sustaining them for the next couple of years.

The Daily Star report that Harry Kane is top of that list of Real Madrid targets (bids for Eden Hazard, David De Gea and John Stones are also mooted), although they don't give a price.

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis admitted that every player at the club is for sale at the right place.

That would include Saido Berahino, who almost joined Spurs in the summer and has not been in Pulis' good books this season. A number of clubs are said to be interested in the England Under-21 striker, who will cost more than £20million.

Another striker linked with Spurs is Fulham teenager Moussa Dembele. According to the Daily Mail the 19-year-old could move to White Hart Lane with a Tottenham youngster moving the other way in lesser-spotted cash-plus-player deal.

Tottenham will battle rivals Liverpool for 20-year-old Yasin Ben El-Mhanni, a non-League star with Lewes who has already had trials with West Brom and Crystal Palace.

He's nicknamed the 'non-League Mahrez', according to the Daily Mail.

Rising star Dele Alli is in line to be given another new contract, just days after his pay was doubled.

According to The Times, Spurs are desperate to keep him at the Lane and know he is still paid much less than his peers.

Andros Townsend is again linked with a move away from the club, with Newcastle ready to bid £12m for the winger.

Chairman Daniel Levy has previously said he wants £14m for the 24-year-old.
