Arsenal eye Real's Endrick - Wednesday's gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s latest transfer gossip roundup says Arsenal are monitoring Real Madrid forward Endrick as a possible January target. The report says the Gunners could try to make use of sporting director Andrea Berta’s links with the agency representing the 20-year-old Brazilian, while other clubs including Roma and Sporting are also said to be interested in a loan move until the end of the season.

The same roundup adds that Liverpool right-back Jeremie Frimpong is expected to stay at Anfield for the rest of the season, despite speculation about interest from Saudi Pro-League side Al-Hilal. BBC Sport Football reports that Liverpool would only entertain a major offer for the 25-year-old next summer, not in January.

Elsewhere, Newcastle, Sunderland and Leeds are among a group of clubs said to be watching Dinamo Zagreb striker Dion Beljo, 24. The article also notes that Newcastle are not planning a move for former striker Ivan Toney, despite his past connection to the club, and that Manchester United are tracking possible defensive reinforcements in Brentford’s Nathan Collins and Fulham’s Calvin Bassey.

As with all transfer gossip columns, the piece compiles unconfirmed reports from other outlets. It provides a snapshot of early January market speculation, with several Premier League clubs linked to possible attacking, defensive and wide options ahead of the winter window.
