According to reports, Japhet Tanganga's proposed switch to Sassuolo is off, with the defender now set to stay at Millwall. Despite strong links and advanced talks, the transfer has broken down. It's a setback for Sassuolo, who had hoped to strengthen their squad in a key position before the deadline. With negotiations ending unsuccessfully, Japhet Tanganga will not join Sassuolo - but interest from Sheff Utd and Verona could yet reignite. So far in this season, Sassuolo are conceding 1.6 goals a game (8 in 5), more than they'd like compared to the Serie A standard. The hope is Japhet Tanganga adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Neither Millwall nor Sassuolo have been linked with any additional targets at this stage.
