Arsenal Target Antonio Nusa for Left Wing

Arsenal are tracking RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa ahead of the January transfer window. The 21 year old has scored 16 goals and provided 18 assists in 85 games for Leipzig. Arsenal want to fill the left wing spot left open at the Emirates after Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard departed, especially after Vinícius Júnior turned down a move to London last summer.

Leipzig are under no pressure to sell. They received 125 million euros from Real Madrid for Yan Diomande in the last window. The German club plans to keep the Norway international even if a bid of 60 million euros comes in.

Premier League Clubs Track Toney and Tavernier

Newcastle United are considering a January move for Al Ahli striker Ivan Toney. The 30 year old previously worked with Newcastle head coach Matthias Jaissle in the Saudi Pro League. Manchester United have also shortlisted Toney to strengthen their attack following an injury to Benjamin Šeško.

Arsenal and Manchester United are monitoring AFC Bournemouth midfielder Marcus Tavernier. The 27 year old has scored six goals in 14 matches this season. Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur are also following Tavernier. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are looking at 18 year old FC Porto winger Oskar Pietuszewski as a backup for Luis Díaz. Pietuszewski has a 60 million euro release clause and has six caps for Poland.

Defenders and Strikers in Contract Talks

Arsenal and Manchester City are keeping tabs on Newcastle full back Tino Livramento. Newcastle could reluctantly let the 23 year old leave next summer if they cannot reach an agreement on a new contract before his deal ends in 2028. Tottenham Hotspur still hold first option matching rights on Harry Kane, allowing them to match any rival bid even though his Bayern Munich contract runs until 2029.

Elsewhere, Chelsea are ready to discuss an improved contract with defender Levi Colwill, with an agreement likely in 2027. Leeds United have started talks with Dominic Calvert-Lewin over a new contract, and AC Milan are in talks with Adrien Rabiot regarding an extension.
