Arsenal are said to be keen on Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo, who wants to leave Spain this month as the January transfer window hots up. Elsewhere, £70million-rated Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has confirmed his desire to leave Napoli, with Paris Saint-Germain in pole position. Napoli are eyeing Alejandro Garnacho as a replacement.
PSG are expected to let striker Randal Kolo Muani leave on loan, with Tottenham and Manchester United very interested, along with Juventus who reportedly feel they have the edge over the Premier League pair. Kolo Muani's possible arrival at Old Trafford should see Marcus Rashford depart, while Kobbie Mainoo also faces an uncertain future. Chelsea, meanwhile, have reportedly entered talks with Bayern over teenage striker Mathys Tel, while they remain interested in Marc Guehi.
Tottenham have entered the race for Rashford, and Arsenal have also been credited with interest. The Gunners are in need of a forward and have been linked with a host of them this month, including Bryan Mbeumo, Jhon Duran, and Nico Williams. Now Joao Gomes is a reported target. Man City are closing in on a £80m double deal for Abdukodir Khusanov and Omar Marmoush. Follow the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip live below!
