Graham Potter makes huge Cristiano Ronaldo transfer decision as Chelsea plot £176m January swoop

Graham Potter has decided to not prioritise a move for Cristiano Ronaldo in the January transfer window, according to reports. The 37-year-old quickly became heavily linked with a move to Chelsea again after he refused to come on against Tottenham Hotspur for Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag decided to drop the striker from the squad to face the Blues on Saturday, casting great doubt over his future at Old Trafford. But, despite the west Londoners being tipped to take Ronaldo off the Red Devils' hands, Potter has a number of other targets he'd rather sign instead, according to CBS Sports.

One of whom, the report states, is former Arsenal target Jonathan David. The Lille striker, who sees his deal at Stade Pierre-Mauroy expire in 2025, has featured 12 times for Paulo Fonseca's side in Ligue 1 this season, directly contributing towards 12 goals.
