Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United’s January wishlists contain significant overlaps, and we could see the two clubs battling it out for several of the same players.Spurs saw off competition from United to land Mateus Fernandes for £85m from West Ham in the summer, and the two clubs could go head-to-head for several players again in the upcoming transfer window.Both teams are prioritising adding a number nine to their squad, and it emerged last month that the Red Devils and the Lilywhites are both keeping an eye on three strikers.Both teams were named as fans of Freiburg striker Igor Matanovic, Dinamo Zagreb’s Dion Beljo and Crystal Palace’s experienced star Jean-Philippe Mateta.It has now emerged that Michael Carrick’s and Roberto De Zerbi’s sides also have another La Liga centre-forward on their wishlist.Photo by Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/Getty ImagesTottenham could battle Man United for Real Sociedad’s Orri OskarssonCalcioMercato report that Real Sociedad forward Orri Oskarsson is attracting a lot of interest from the Premier League, including from the two clubs mentioned above.The Icelandic international has a modest goal record since joining the Spanish side from Copenhagen in the summer of 2024, but he has been on fire over recent weeks.Oskarsson has scored five times in his last six matches for Sociedad across La Liga and the Europa League, and this has made him ‘highly sought-after’ by both Spurs and United.The report claims that the 22-year-old is seen as a good fit for Roberto De Zerbi’s style of play, and suggests that the Italian wants to add another versatile forward to his squad as Omar Marmoush has not made the expected impact since his summer switch.O.
