Trending rumors
– Arsenal will challenge Chelsea and Liverpool for the signing of AFC Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, according to iNews. The Gunners are the latest of the three clubs to make an inquiry about the 23-year-old ahead of a possible move in January, when it is thought an offer worth £80 million would be enough for the Cherries to enter formal negotiations. Scott has indicated that he is unwilling to extend his stay at the Vitality Stadium, which makes the upcoming transfer window one of the final opportunities for him to be moved on for the highest possible fee.
– Liverpool are interested in Brentford full back El Hadji Malick Diouf, Football Insider reports. The Reds are keen to strengthen on the left side of their defense in January amid concerns over the consistency over Milos Kerkez, and the 21-year-old Senegal international is one of the options being monitored despite the fact it could be difficult to persuade the Bees to part ways with him. Diouf arrived at the club from West Ham United for a fee of around £40 million in the summer.
– Napoli are tracking Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens amid plans to reinforce their forward line in the next transfer window, according to Corriere dello Sport. Gittens, 22, is being considered as a loan option and is among several players that the Serie A club could approach following a disappointing start to the season, in which they are currently 10th in the league table. He has made just two appearances for the Blues this season.
– Barcelona are interested in FC Twente defender Ruud Nijstad, Diario Sport reports. Barcleona sporting director Deco has already begun work on a move for the 18-year-old as the Blaugrana look to land a left-footed defender with strong ball-playing ability, though the Eredivisie side are set to demand a proposal worth €20 million before agreeing to a deal. Nijstad was recently called up to Netherlands‘ U21 squad.
– PSV Eindhoven have made an inquiry for Napoli midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, according to Nicolò Schira. It is reported that the 35-year-old could leave the Serie A club in the next few months, with PSV checking on his situation ahead of an approach in January. De Bruyne’s deal is set to expire next summer, but there is an option clause that would allow Gli Azzurri to extend it by a further year.
