Arsenal have made an approach for Eli Junior Kroupi and set their sights on Cruzeiro wonderkid Eduardo Pape, while Manchester United are pondering a shock move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Chelsea are linked with Trent Alexander-Arnold. Liverpool, meanwhile, have made fresh contact over a deal for Lamine Camara.
Arsenal target Kroupi and Pape
Arsenal have made an approach for Eli Junior Kroupi, reports claim. The French forward was believed to be a key target for the Gunners in the summer transfer window after a fantastic debut season at Bournemouth, yet any transfer plans were scuppered by a foot injury that required surgery.
However, Kroupi is now back in action and the rumour mill is once again going into overdrive, with CaughtOffside reporting that Arsenal have made early enquiries over his potential availability - along with Manchester United. However, it is being claimed that Bournemouth will not entertain the prospect of any sale until next summer.
Arsenal have also set their sights on Cruzeiro's Eduardo Pape as a transfer target. Per TeamTalk, Mikel Arteta wants to add another high-profile young talent to the Gunners' books and is prepared to rival Bayern Munich and Newcastle for his signature. At 17, central-midfielder Pape has yet to make his senior debut for Cruzeiro but has impressed scouts with his performances in the club's youth ranks.
Man Utd eye Calvert-Lewin and Ramon battle
Manchester United are said to be considering a shock move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The struggling Red Devils are in desperate need of more firepower, with Benjamin Sesko ruled out until January with his lingering shin injury.
According to The Athletic, United are exploring a surprise swoop for Leeds and England frontman Calvert-Lewin, who has scored five times so far this term and is under contract at Elland Road until the summer of 2028.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United could all do battle for the signing of Jacobo Ramon. The young Spanish centre-back has been integral to Como's remarkable Serie A rise under Cesc Fabregas, scoring in the 4-1 demolition of United in the Champions League last week.
Links between Ramon and the Premier League are certainly nothing new, with the Daily Mail now suggesting that Chelsea are the latest club to show a keen interest in his services. It has been claimed elsewhere that Arsenal and United are also keeping a very close eye on his progress in Italy.
Chelsea and Liverpool moves
Liverpool are trying to beat Chelsea to a deal for Lamine Camara. The Senegal midfielder was poised to move to Stamford Bridge for £47.1m on transfer deadline day in the summer as Xabi Alonso looked to quickly replace Enzo Fernandez, only for Monaco to unexpectedly pull the plug at the 11th hour.
Chelsea are said to remain interested in Camara, who also has admirers at Anfield. According to The Sun, Liverpool have now made further contact with the player's camp and asked to be kept closely informed of any developments moving forward.
Talking of shock transfers, Trent Alexander-Arnold could reportedly be keen on joining Chelsea. The versatile England right-back has seen his dream Real Madrid move sour somewhat in recent months as he's fallen down the Bernabeu pecking order under Jose Mourinho.
Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a sensational return to Liverpool in recent weeks, but now it's being suggested that Chelsea are interested in a deal. According to Football Insider, he could be tempted by a switch to Stamford Bridge.
Tottenham could target the likes of Ibrahim Maza, Nicolo Tresoldi and Alex Freeman, though they will not receive any further funds for Harry Kane despite his Ballon d'Or win this week.
