A certain Premier League team have been told to sign former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea.
The Spanish shot-stopper remains without a club since parting ways with the Red Devils in June, ending a 12-year association with the club.
De Gea had been linked with the likes of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to cover for Manuel Neuer and Thibaut Courtois respectively, with both goalkeepers having suffered big injuries.

However, the Premier League's all-time leading scorer Alan Shearer feels Newcastle United should sign De Gea, with Nick Pope sidelined for the next few months.
"I would agree goalkeeper and centre forward would be the two main priorities for me. But good luck trying to find a good centre forward that you can bring in for a decent amount of money."
"Yes, I would sign him. I think Newcastle need a goalkeeper and De Gea is there.
"I know the salary would be huge, but they wouldn't have to pay a transfer fee for him. Last season Dubravka was on loan at United and was always a substitute for De Gea, it's no coincidence."
The Magpies are currently sit ninth on the table, eight points adrift of the top four ahead of their New Year's Day game against Liverpool.
