- According to Foot Mercato, Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb is edging towards a move to Schalke, after the Bundesliga side made a new and improved bid for the player. We covered the story last night where Spurs had turned down a £10million offer and had demanded £15m for the midfielder. Foot Mercato claim that Schalke have made a new bid in the region of £12-13m and are hopeful of reaching an agreement in next 24-48 hours.

- Simone Zaza’s move to Wolfsburg has seen a new day of light after Wolfsburg are ready to accept Arsenal’s £42million bid for Julian Draxler. According to Sports Bild, Gunners have reached an agreement with Draxler with Wolfsburg’s asking price being the only hurdle in the transfer. Zaza is linked with Wolfsburg for a long time and could finally seal his transfer later this week.
