Arsenal Target Forward Options

Arsenal have joined a growing list of clubs following Middlesbrough striker Will Lankshear. The 21 year old joined Middlesbrough from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer after playing on loan at Oxford United in the Championship. He has already scored 13 goals in 13 league matches this season. Middlesbrough plan to block any attempt to sign him in January.

The Gunners are also pushing for a left sided forward. They have opened talks with representatives for RB Leipzig star Antonio Nusa. The 21 year old could cost 80 million euros. Arsenal previously lost Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, replacing them with Christos Tzolis after a move for Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior fell short. Arsenal still believe Vinicius Junior will join them in the future.

Bruno Fernandes Pauses Contract Talks

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is holding off on signing a new deal for now. The 32 year old midfielder sees his contract expire next summer, though the club holds a one year option to extend it.

He wants to see what happens under new manager Mauricio Pochettino before making a decision. Fernandes has previously been linked with a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.

Defenders And Forwards In Demand Across Europe

Tottenham Hotspur right back Pedro Porro has decided he only wants to join Barcelona if he leaves Spurs. Barcelona are looking at a deal worth up to 50 million euros next summer. Tottenham want 70 million euros for the 27 year old Spain defender, who signed a new contract in the summer. Real Madrid are also interested.

AC Milan want forward reinforcements in January. They are interested in a loan deal with an option to buy for Real Madrid forward Endrick. Milan are also eyeing Club Brugge forward Nicolo Tresoldi. The 22 year old has scored five goals in four Champions League matches and could move in a 60 million euro deal.

Other Major Deals Brewing

Liverpool would be willing to trigger a 55 million euro clause for defender Ronald Araujo in January. However, his loan agreement from Barcelona only includes an option for the end of the season. The 27 year old has been a regular at right back for Liverpool. Liverpool are also among several major teams tracking 17 year old Borussia Monchengladbach attacking midfielder Wael Mohya.

Juventus are active in the market as well. They want Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth after failing to sign him in the summer. Juventus are also keeping an eye on Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, who becomes a free agent next summer.
