The north London outfit imagine they might snag Koch on a cut price deal, will have to the Yorkshire aspect endure relegation to the Championship on the finish of the present marketing campaign.

Perhaps unusually, Antonio Conte’s aspect are appalling on the again.
The Lilywhites have conceded extra targets than every other workforce within the most sensible 12 within the Premier League, were knocked out of the FA Cup via decrease league opposition all over again and could not get previous a suffering AC Milan outfit within the Champions League knockout phases.
Cristian Romero’s dangerous and erratic nature has brought about extra hurt than excellent since his go back from Argentina’s triumph on the World Cup, while the opposite two spots within the Italian’s again 3 were contested via woefully inconsistent stars like Eric Dier, Ben Davies, Clement Lenglet and Davinson Sanchez.
