Arsenal are sensationally said to be interested in both Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki following the latest developments in Manchester City's financial case, while they appear to have been handed a boost over a deal for Julian Alvarez. Manchester United are set to solve their left-back dilemma by extending the contract of Harry Amass, but will still keep tabs on Alejandro Balde. Chelsea have signed former Tottenham youngster Leo Black, while Barcelona are weighing up their options over Estevao. Liverpool have been linked with a shock move to bring Trent Alexander-Arnold back to Anfield, with Lamine Camara and Kevin Schade also reportedly on their radar following Julian Ward's return as sporting director.
Arsenal get Alvarez boost
Jonathan David is starting to convince Atletico Madrid of a permanent transfer. The Canada international joined Madrid from Juventus in the summer window and has now scored three goals in his last three appearances, including one against Real Madrid. As such, reports in Spain claim Atletico are now weighing up a permanent move for £21million. This deal could be a boost for Arsenal as it may open the door for Julian Alvarez to leave.
Man Utd make left-back decision
Manchester United are set to extend Harry Amass's contract ahead of the January transfer window. The Red Devils are short on senior left-back options, particularly after Patrick Dorgu's injury scare on international duty with Denmark earlier this week. The former Lecce man has been the go-to backup to Luke Shaw when the No23 has been sidelined this term, and Michael Carrick has found himself lacking in depth at full-back.
Liverpool eye wonderkid and Minteh
Liverpool are firmly in the race to sign Tijuana attacking midfielder Gilberto Mora. Football Insider claims that Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also keen on the 17-year-old. Tijuana plan to sell Mora next summer, with a January move to Liverpool considered difficult.
Liverpool also saw several offers for Yankuba Minteh knocked back in the summer transfer window, but Gambian journalist Baboucarr Fallaboweh has said the Brighton forward remains keen on a move to Anfield. "Because right now, his situation has not been helped because he is injured," Fallaboweh said. "If not, then you could have more justification for him to showcase his performance and why Liverpool were after him."
Bayern Munich ready to make Foden move
Speaking of potential Man City exits, Phil Foden's name has been mentioned in the gossip columns. According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham all explored the possibility of signing Foden prior to the attacking midfielder signing a new deal at the Etihad Stadium. However, the report states Bayern Munich continue to monitor the situation closely, with manager Vincent Kompany keen on a reunion with his former City team-mate, with the German giants ready to make a move if he becomes available.
