The first sign of movement -- either towards a deal or that talks are crumbling -- is likely to be a call between Johnson and von der Leyen. The Times also reported that the European Commission has started to "lean on" EU negotiator Michel Barnier to reach a deal with Britain, raising hopes that an agreement could come. EU negotiator Michel Barnier arrived for talks in London on Saturday morning. Barnier and Britain's negotiator David Frost are working to secure a deal before the UK's transition period with the EU ends on Dec. 31. The Times said Johnson and von der Leyen were due to talk to find common ground on fishing quotas.
