Arsenal step up pursuit for Leon Goretzka
After deploying scouts to monitor and assess Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka, Arsenal are now reportedly on the verge of building a formal pursuit for the 22-year old.
According to reports in the Mirror, Arsene Wenger has seen enough of Goretzka and is understood to be keen on bringing the German to the Emirates.
Other reports from Europe seem to suggest that Arsenal could be interested in recruiting Goretzka on a swap deal, which could see Mesut Ozil travel the other way as a makeweight.
Naby Keita to sign for Liverpool in January instead of June
After agreeing to sign for Liverpool in the summer of 2018, Naby Keita has continued plying his trade for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
However, the German side's poor performances in the UEFA Champions League has prompted many to believe that the deal could be pushed through in the January transfer window in 2018 itself, instead of the June 2018, as originally scheduled.
Jurgen Klopp will only be pleased if he can sign his man mid-way through the season, as Liverpool will require all the reinforcements they can find this season.
