Sweden forward Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly set to push for a move away from Arsenal in the January transfer window, with a lack of playing time cited as the reason. The 28-year-old's situation is one of several transfer stories circulating in Sunday's gossip round-up.
At Chelsea, manager Xabi Alonso is said to be seeking January reinforcements to deepen his squad, with Barcelona defender Jules Kounde, 27, and Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong, 29, named as targets. Chelsea are also reportedly interested in Borussia Dortmund's 17-year-old USA winger Mathis Albert, who has made just one appearance for the German club, and are in advanced talks to sign Moroccan winger Gessime Yassine, 20, from Strasbourg.
Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, 26, as an alternative if they cannot secure Bournemouth's Alex Scott, 23. Elsewhere, AC Milan are preparing to offer French midfielder Adrien Rabiot a new contract until 2030 following his strong start to the season.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle are said to be showing interest in Roma and Brazil defender Wesley, 23, while Arsenal and Chelsea have reportedly been drawn to IFK Goteborg's 17-year-old Swedish midfielder Oliver Mansson. Arsenal and Manchester United have ruled out interest in Sporting and Uruguay left-back Maxi Araujo, 26.
In other news, former Brighton defender Solly March, 32, is set to join Championship side Charlton on a free transfer; the Englishman has been without a club since his release by the Seagulls in July. The items come from various outlets and none has been confirmed by the clubs involved.
