TRENDING RUMORS

Chelsea are looking at Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens, according to the Athletic. It is said that the 20-year-old is “definitely” a player under consideration by the Stamford Bridge hierarchy, and there is belief that BVB would be willing to part ways with him in the summer, with multiple clubs across Europe keeping close tabs on his situation. Gittens has contributed to 10 goals in 27 matches this season, but a dip in form has seen him fail to score or assist in his last 16 games across all competitions.

– Four clubs are at the front of the queue in the race for on-loan Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, reports Marca. The 26-year-old is expected to leave Napoli when he returns at the end of the season, and it is said that Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Juventus are all keen on him. It is reported that Gli Azzurri would be willing to negotiate offers if clubs make proposals worth below his €75 million release clause.

Arsenal have ended their interest in Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, according to the Mirror. It is reported that the Gunners are set to look elsewhere amid their search for a striker in the summer, despite previously making a £40 million approach for the 29-year-old in January. RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, 21, is said to remain on manager Mikel Arteta’s shortlist, and he could be seen as a potential alternative to Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, amid belief that it could be difficult to persuade the Magpies to part ways with the 25-year-old Sweden international.

Internazionale are interested in landing Como attacking midfielder Nico Paz, reports Mundo Deportivo. The Nerazzurri are believed to have identified the 20-year-old as one of their first potential reinforcements for next season, but they could face competition from Real Madrid, who inserted a €9 million clause that allows them to sign him back after parting ways with him last summer. Paz has scored six goals while assisting another five in 27 Serie A appearances this season, as one of the standouts for manager Cesc Fabregas.

– A move for Real Madrid and Turkey international attacking midfielder Arda Güler is being considered by Aston Villa, according to TEAMtalk. The Premier League club are reported to hold “long-standing interest” in the 20-year-old, and it is believed that they wouldn’t face competition from Liverpool despite the Reds being linked with him recently. Los Blancos would be open to keeping hold of Guler, though they are willing to let him decide whether he wants to stay after struggling for regular first team minutes with just seven league starts so far this season.
