Arsenal have reportedly made contact with Erling Haaland's representatives over a move for the Manchester City striker, according to Football Insider. The Gunners, along with Real Madrid, are said to be prepared to take advantage of the Norwegian's uncertain future, which has been cast into doubt following the news of City's financial charges.
Haaland remains under contract until 2034, but his deal is not said to contain a relegation clause. If City are hit with an enforced relegation or a large enough points deduction, he could be available at a cut rate.
Olmo offered to Gunners
Barcelona's Dani Olmo has been offered to Arsenal by intermediaries, per reports from TeamTalk. The forward has already racked up three assists in seven La Liga appearances this season, but appears to be looking for a new home in January.
He has been tipped as a replacement for Eberechi Eze, though up to six other Premier League rivals have reportedly had the same sales pitch.
Costa scouted as Calafiori upgrade
Arsenal have sent scouts to keep an eye on Porto's Alberto Costa, per reports from Caught Offside. They join a number of clubs, including Manchester United, in scouting the 22-year-old, signed from Juventus for €15m (£12.8m) last year. His contract contains a €65m (£55.7m) release clause.
Arsenal's interest, though, is at a very nascent stage, which has not progressed beyond scouting. Meanwhile, the player, tipped as a replacement for Riccardo Calafiori, is playing regularly for Porto.
