Arsenal Eye Real Madrid Striker Endrick in January Transfer Window

Arsenal target young Real Madrid forward

Arsenal are keeping a close eye on Real Madrid striker Endrick. The Premier League club is considering a move for the 20 year old Brazil international in the January transfer window. Endrick is reportedly worried about his current and long term role with the Spanish giants. His only appearance this season came as a late substitute during Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Elche.

While Real Madrid are reluctant to let the young forward go after investing heavily in him, the intense competition for places has complicated his situation. Other English clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United, believe Endrick might become available by 2027, even though the player himself does not want to leave.

La Liga talent attracts English interest

Real Sociedad defender Jon Aramburu is also attracting interest from England. Manchester City and Liverpool are both looking at the 24 year old right back, who has impressed in Spain. The Venezuela international has a release clause of around £50 million in his contract, which runs until 2030.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are working to secure the future of Jude Bellingham. The 23 year old England star is close to signing a contract extension until 2032. Bellingham has scored two goals and provided two assists under manager José Mourinho this season. Real Madrid want to lock down his future early to avoid any long contract disputes.

More Premier League transfer movements

Other English clubs are preparing for a busy winter. Liverpool are expecting January bids for midfielder Florian Wirtz, with Bayern Munich among the interested parties. The 23 year old German international has struggled for form, failing to score in his last 12 matches, but Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola still views him as a key part of his squad.

At Arsenal, the club might allow Viktor Gyökeres to depart in January if they can find a replacement. Chelsea are also facing transfer worries of their own. The Blues fear that 20 year old defender Josh Acheampong could leave in January, despite starting four games under boss Xabi Alonso.
