Danish Superliga's Nordsjaelland have made Liverpool an offer for talented young striker Bobby Duncan, the Daily Mail reports.
The 18-year-old was included in Reds manager Jurgen Klopp's pre-season plans. But the Danish club have offered him regular football and are willing to pay his wages in full for the upcoming season.
Duncan, who is Steven Gerrard's cousin, scored 32 goals for the Liverpool academy last year following his arrival from Manchester City the season before.
Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama, 28, could be jumping across the Channel after West Ham failed to sign him before the closure of the English transfer window.
Belgian side Bruges are considering securing the £18million-rated Kenya international before the European window shuts on September 2, the Daily Express says.
Club director Josh Kroenke has promised that Arsenal will continue to be “proactive” in the transfer market following a landmark summer window which saw them spend over £100m on the likes of Nicolas Pépé, Dani Ceballos, David Luiz, Kieran Tierney and Gabriel Martinelli.
In a new interview, the American has said that he is determined for the club to win back their place in the Champions League and is willing to again spend back to make it happen. “We weren't reactive this summer, we were actually proactive,” he told the BBC. “As for January, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves.
“We've got to evaluate some things in the short term and figure out where we might need to address going forward, so when January does roll around we're going to be proactive again.”
But, having already bolstered their squad this summer, which players could Arsenal move for in the winter market as they continue their drive to ‘proactively’ improve Unai Emery’s team?
Former Juventus favourite Claudio Marchisio has said that he turned down a move to Chinse Super League side Jiangsu because of their links to Inter Milan.
The midfielder has been looking for a new club but has said he couldn’t contemplate playing for a club with such ties to Juve’s rivals.
“I refused the proposal of Jiangsu Suning,” he confirmed to Sky Italy.
“Was it influenced by the fact that they are linked to Inter? Of course, it was a factor. The link to that shirt wouldn’t allow me to make that choice in good conscience.
“Japan or Arabia? We will need to see what the future holds. I couldn’t wear any other shirt in Italy after Juventus, so I can say that I will only be considering offers from abroad.
“I appreciate the interest, I have received so many messages, but I want to be logical. Could I return to Juventus? No, I made that decision a year ago."
Arsenal and Manchester United will fight it out for talented teenager Eduardo Camavinga this January, according to reports.
Tottenham and Manchester City are also interested in the 16-year-old after the midfielder helped Rennes to a 2-1 win over Ligue 1 champions PSG on Sunday night, according to the Daily Mail.
Josh Kroenke has said his family will not consider selling Arsenal despite fan pressure.
"I would say that if you're reacting and doing club record signings based on public opinion, you're not going to go very far as a club," he added. "We weren't reactive this summer, we were actually proactive.
"It was unfortunate that the summer unfolded publicly the way it did with some of the supporters' groups. I tried to answer some of their concerns to the best of our ability."
Mohamed Salah insists he is content at Liverpool and not looking to leave despite Gary Neville tipping him to leave within the next 12 months.
The Egyptian forward has been a revelation since joining from Roma in 2017, winning the Premier League golden boot two years running.
His time at Anfield peaked last season with the Reds’ winning the Champions League, but his journey is only just getting started it seems, despite former Manchester United defender Neville tipping him to move on in the next 12 months.
“I’m happy at Liverpool,” Salah told CNN. “I’m happy in the city.
“I love the fans and they love me. I’m happy at the club.”
Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina, 25, is heading to Monaco on a season-long loan with an option for the Ligue 1 outfit to later buy him, according to Radio Monte Carlo.
The Gabonese player signed for Saints for a club-record fee of £15.4million two years ago from Juventus. Monaco represents a homecoming of sorts for Lemina who got his start in France at Lorient before moving to Marseille.
The Manchester Evening News, citing Turkish media outlet A Spor, says Fenerbahce are interested in signing 29-year-old Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo.
A Spor says the Turkish Super Lig team are "closing in" on a loan deal for the Argentina international, who was blocked from moving to Everton because the Toffees are an outside bet to finish above the Red Devils in the Premier League.
England winger Jadon Sancho's wages have been doubled to £80,000 per week by Borussia Dortmund as the Bundesliga side try to fend off Manchester United's interest, Germany's Bild says.
The 19-year-old youth player with Watford and Manchester City signed with Dortmund in 2017 and had rebuffed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer because the Red Devils could not offer him Champions League football this season.
22-year-old Spanish left-back Alberto Redondo has been linked with a move to Birmingham after Getafe released him at the end of last season, the Birmingham Mail reports while citing Footmercato.
The United States international could have moved to the Premier League sooner but for Mourinho being in charge at Old Trafford.
“I’m a Chelsea fan, I grew up in London supporting them. When I was in Dortmund last year, I told him that he had to come,” Robin Walker, who coached Pulisic early in his development at non-League side Brackley Town, told the Telegraph.
“He wouldn’t go to Manchester United because of Jose Mourinho. His father couldn’t stand Mourinho, because he didn’t promote young players.
“It was at that point I asked: “What about London? That’s where it’s at.
“I was trying to sell the city. His agent agreed, saying: “When you make these decisions, it’s all about investment and property.” I was delighted that he did sign.”
Cristiano Ronaldo admits he could retire next year despite three more years left on his Juventus contract.
At 34 years old, Ronaldo admits the end is coming as he bids to add an extra layer to his legacy in Turin.
The ultimate goal with Juventus remains the Champions League, with a quarter-final exit at the hands of Ajax last year, and Ronaldo concedes this could be his final chance to win it.
According to reports in Spain, Spurs have agreed to send Georges-Kevin NKoudou on a season-long loan to Besiktas.
The 24-year-old moved to Spurs from Marseille in 2016 but has failed to win a place in the north London club’s first-team, with loan spells at Burnley and Monaco.
