- Amid supporter outcry, Mainoo has yet to start a Premier League match this season and his 11 appearances have all been as a substitute, with support rallying around him after a viral 'Free Kobbie Mainoo' T-shirt worn by his half-brother Jordan Mainoo-Hames.

- With the transfer window opening next month, Napoli are among reported suitors for Mainoo, and Ruben Amorim said the club will try to bring future players, answering `We'll see` on January funds.
