  1. Repeated transfer talk is becoming a distraction

    Moderate
    Cause
    He answered the recent criticism with a sharp session.
  3. Clashed with Frenkie de Jong over training standards

    Minor

    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  4. Interest from Celta has turned his head

    Moderate
