Manchester United target Calvert-Lewin and Aït-Nouri

Manchester United are looking to add a new striker in January, and Leeds United forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin is on their list. The 29 year old striker has scored four goals in eight Premier League appearances this season. Leeds want to keep their star player and could offer him a new deal at Elland Road to prevent a transfer.

United are also monitoring Club Brugge forward Nicolò Tresoldi, a player who is also on Arsenal's radar. In addition, United have re-established contact with the team behind Manchester City left back Rayan Aït-Nouri. The 25 year old has not played any Premier League minutes this season, and City want his future resolved by the end of the winter window.

Liverpool monitor Alexander-Arnold and Estêvão

Liverpool have contacted the representatives of Real Madrid right back Trent Alexander-Arnold regarding a potential January loan move. Manager Andoni Iraola wants to add depth at fullback. The 28 year old has struggled for playing time at the Bernabéu this season. In Real Madrid's 2-1 victory over Barcelona on Sunday, midfielder Federico Valverde started in his place. If Alexander-Arnold leaves, Real Madrid could turn to Tottenham Hotspur right back Pedro Porro.

Liverpool are also linked with Chelsea winger Estêvão. The 19 year old was an unused substitute in Chelsea's 1-1 Carabao Cup draw against Liverpool on Wednesday, a match Chelsea lost on penalties. Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are tracking his situation, and Chelsea may approve his departure in January.

European clubs target young talent

Borussia Dortmund winger Mathis Albert is drawing attention from several top English clubs. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City are all watching the 17 year old United States international. Manchester City are currently leading the race and hope to convince him with a lucrative contract offer. Dortmund previously rejected offers for Albert, but a bid worth €20 million might secure a deal.

Arsenal are planning contract talks with goalkeeper David Raya to discourage interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona. Meanwhile, AC Milan are preparing a January move for Real Madrid striker Endrick, who is also wanted by Aston Villa and Roma. Inter Milan are leading the race for Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa.
