- Arsenal are in the market for a center forward, and TEAMtalk claims that the Gunners are the latest team to join a long list of admirers following Middlesbrough striker Will Lankshear. The 21-year-old joined Boro from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, after a loan spell at Oxford United in the Championship, and has hit the ground running, scoring 13 goals in as many appearances in the league so far. That has brought about plenty of transfer interest, but Middlesbrough will try to block any exit in January.

- Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is holding off on signing a new contract for now, says The Sun. Fernandes, 32, has a contract which expires next summer -- albeit with a one-year club option to renew -- and reportedly wants to wait to see what happens under new boss Mauricio Pochettino. The Portugal midfielder has been linked with a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia before.

- Arsenal are continuing the push to sign a left-sided forward, with RB Leipzig star Antonio Nusa leading their shortlist, says TEAMtalk. Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard left in the summer, and were replaced by Christos Tzolis before a move to sign Vinícius Júnior from Real Madrid fell short. With Mikel Arteta wanting more options on that flank, the report claims that talks have opened with Nusa's representatives about a possible switch, but the 21-year-old's transfer could cost €80 million.

- Tottenham defender Pedro Porro has decided that he only wants to join Barcelona if he leaves the club, according to Sport. The 27-year-old Spain right back has seen interest from the Blaugrana, as well as Real Madrid, despite only signing a new contract with Spurs in the summer. But while Barcelona are eyeing up a deal worth no more than €50 million next summer, Tottenham will stand firm on their €70 million valuation.

- AC Milan are looking to bolster in the forward areas during January, with Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that Real Madrid's Endrick and Club Brugge's Nicolò Tresoldi are on their shortlist. Endrick has seen few minutes in the starting XI for Los Blancos this season and Milan are keen on a loan deal with a permanent option included. Meanwhile, Tresoldi 22, who has five goals in four Champions League appearances this season, has caught the eye of a number of a teams and could move in a €60 million deal.
