Mitchell attracts Premier League interest

Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly competing for the signature of Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell. The 27-year-old England defender has emerged as a target for both clubs, according to reports cited in Wednesday’s transfer gossip.

Garnacho and Gibbs-White on the radar

Alejandro Garnacho is being monitored by clubs in La Liga after reportedly struggling to make a strong impression at Aston Villa following his summer loan move from Chelsea.

Bayern Munich are also said to be interested in Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, adding another prominent name to the German club’s recruitment plans.

Arsenal plan new Rice contract

Arsenal are expected to use the September international break to finalise details of a new long-term contract for Declan Rice. The club have an option to extend his current agreement by 12 months but would prefer to secure a longer commitment for a player regarded as central to Mikel Arteta’s plans.

The Gunners’ reported interest in tying Rice down follows claims that Arsenal came close to signing Vinicius Jr from Real Madrid during the summer. The move was apparently so advanced that some of the Brazilian forward’s team-mates believed a transfer to north London was inevitable.

Liverpool remain committed to Wirtz

Liverpool are reportedly still determined to help Florian Wirtz fulfil his potential despite Bayern Munich making approaches to the Germany attacking midfielder’s representatives. The club’s continued commitment comes as Julian Ward is tipped to return as Liverpool’s sporting director, replacing Richard Hughes after previously holding the role during the 2022-23 season.

European clubs track teenage prospects

Chelsea are among several major clubs tracking 15-year-old Gambian midfielder Adama Jeng of Samger FC. Bayern Munich, Benfica, Sporting and Paris FC are also reported to be interested in the highly rated youngster.

AC Milan and Roma are considering loan moves for Real Madrid forward Endrick, subject to president Florentino Perez being willing to sanction a temporary departure. Barcelona have scouted 19-year-old Brazilian defender Arthur Dias of Athletico Paranaense, who had previously attracted strong interest from Tottenham.

All of the moves remain at the reported interest or exploratory stage, with no completed transfers announced in the roundup.
