Arsenal are rumoured to still be in the market for Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez.

The 23-year-old was of interest to a number of European clubs last summer but decided to stay put and his performances this season, six goals and an assist in nine games, makes him a target once again.

The latest rumour is that Mikel Arteta is a big admirer of the Mexican but Arsenal face competition for his services from AC Milan.

Diego Leon looks poised to join Manchester United, after the Paraguayan’s agent Renato Bittar, who represents the group La Squadra, confirmed the Cerro Porteno defender will undergo medical tests.

Leon can operate as a wing-back, which should suit Ruben Amorim’s system.

The 17-year-old has played 19 times for the Paraguayan giants, scoring twice.

This is a rumour that kind of makes sense.

Manchester United are open to selling Marcus Rashford this month and would need the income from his sale to fund any incomings. Talk this next bit with a grain of salt but The Sun say that a swap deal could be in the offing with Napoli that sends Rashford to Serie A in return for striker Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen is currently exiled from the Italian side having refused a move to Saudi Arabia in the summer which would have brought in a lot of money.

The striker is currently on loan at Galatasaray but could secure a permanent move this month if he heads to a competitive club and league.

This deal is unlikely but not out of the realms of possibility given the two club’s financial situations.

Arsenal have been chasing a new striker according to many reports over the past few weeks and Randal Kolo Muani seems to be one they are considering.

News out of Italy doesn’t give them enormous optimism though that it’ll be an easy deal to do this month, as Tuttosport say Serie A clubs have been priced out by PSG’s demands.

They have little interest in a loan deal and instead want upwards of €60m for the French striker, leaving Juventus and AC Milan sidelined. Arsenal and Galatasaray are still looking at the options.

Chelsea defender Aaron Anselmino has returned from his loan with Boca Juniors and will be available to Enzo Maresca for the back half of the season.

The club released a statement which reads: “Aaron Anselmino has been recalled from his loan spell at Boca Juniors.

“The Argentine defender joined the Blues from Boca in August, penning a long-term deal, before heading back to La Bombonera on loan to continue his development.

“Aaron made 18 appearances for Boca across all competitions during his loan spell and became a regular in the backline.

“Welcome back to Chelsea, Aaron!”

Reports from Italy over the midweek period suggested AC Milan were keen on Darwin Nunez and were preparing a loan-to-buy deal, starting from €5m and with an eventual price of around €45m (£37.5m).

However, Mail Online say that’s a premature speculation, with Milan yet to get in touch with the Reds over any possible bid.

Milan have a new boss in Sergio Conceicao after sacking Paulo Fonseca.

Donyell Malen could become the next Dutchman in the Premier League, with the versatile attacker a target for Aston Villa.

The Mail Online report discussions have been ongoing between the Midlands side and Borussia Dortmund, with a view to a permanent deal being struck.

Villa offered £15m plus add-ons, Dortmund want £25m or so. Talks continue, they say.

Sticking with the i paper and returning to Old Trafford, a detailed piece offers insight to Ruben Amorim’s reported plans for the month.

A wing-back and a striker are top of his wishlist, with Nuno Mendes the chief target for the left flank. Geovany Quenda is another option but Sporting won’t sell midseason.

In attack, the names are Randal Kolo Muani, Victor Osimhen and of course Viktor Gyokeres. He’ll be £60m…but in summer, not now.

There are a list of players United would consider offloading, on loan or otherwise, but the top three are Rashford, Antony and Casemiro. Offloading them would give room to move in PSR terms and allow United to strike fast if a chance came up this month to buy.

Reports over the past day or two suggest that Real Madrid are likely to return with a more firm offer for Trent Alexander-Arnold, after initial conversations were shut down by Liverpool.

However, the i paper are saying the result will be the same: the Reds will reject any possibility of letting their right-back leave in midseason, instead focusing on trying to land trophies and convince him to sign a new contract instead.

Alexander-Arnold, who is the club’s vice captain, can now talk freely to Real and arrange a move without a fee at the end of the season.

Marcus Rashford…what’s next for him? Well, Liverpool are next, on Sunday, but given he was an unused sub against Newcastle and not in the squad before that, he may not feature again at Anfield.

Meanwhile, TalkSport are claiming that the Manchester United forward’s preference is a move to Spain and therefore Barcelona, but they also say he has lined up different agencies to discuss moves, which Rashford himself says isn’t the case. A less-concrete claim from one of the websites of yesteryear (TeamTalk, if anyone remembers the Teletext days when they’d be regulars with transfer gossip…) suggests PSG and Borussia Dortmund are showing “renewed interest” in him and that United want £50-60m as a fee.
