Man Utd have reportedly added Jorthy Mokio to their shortlist of transfer targets. The Ajax defender is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Frankfurt and Newcastle are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. So far in this season, Man Utd are conceding 1.64 goals a game (18 in 11), more than they'd like compared to the Premier League standard. The hope is Jorthy Mokio adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Ajax continue to be linked with Victor Mow Froholdt while Man Utd are also rumoured to be tracking Aurelien Tchouameni, Nathaniel Brown and Christian Pulisic. More on this story as it develops.
