Real Madrid eye Quansah

Real Madrid are planning for next summer and have set their sights on Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah. The Spanish giants have scouted the 23 year old England international as they look to add at least two new defenders to their squad.

Quansah moved to Germany from Liverpool for 35 million euros in 2025. His solid performances for Leverkusen have also drawn attention from Arsenal, who are monitoring his situation.

European giants hunt for Kounde

Barcelona defender Jules Kounde has caught the attention of several top English clubs. Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Manchester City have all been alerted to his potential availability.

Chelsea are actively monitoring the France international. Barcelona may look to sell the defender to raise funds for new signings, while manager Xabi Alonso is also keen on reinforcing his options at right back.

Tottenham search for goalkeepers

Tottenham Hotspur have added Hull City goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis to their shortlist of future targets. The 23 year old Greece international joined Hull from Olympiakos for 20 million pounds in the summer and has already kept three clean sheets in five Premier League appearances. Tottenham are also keeping tabs on Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth will not allow midfielder Alex Scott to leave in January. Despite interest from Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool, the club plans to keep the 23 year old until at least next summer. Bournemouth value the midfielder at a minimum of 100 million pounds.
