Wednesday Transfer Gossip: Arsenal Eye Endrick, Man Utd Target Collins and Bassey as Liverpool Rule Out Frimpong Exit

Arsenal are eyeing a January move for Real Madrid forward Endrick, Manchester United have added Nathan Collins and Calvin Bassey to their shortlist, and Jeremie Frimpong is set to stay at Liverpool, according to the latest transfer gossip from MatchHeadlines.

Arsenal are lining up a January approach for Endrick, 20, says Talksport. Sporting director Andrea Berta already has a good relationship with the agency that looks after the Brazil forward, which could help. The Gunners will not be alone, though. AS says Roma and Sporting both want him on loan until the end of the season. Endrick is not ready to give up on his Real Madrid career just yet.

Arsenal are also looking at other wingers, says the Independent. Atletico Madrid midfielder Alex Baena, 25, RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa, 21, and Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi, 20, are all on their list.

United are shopping for defenders. The Mail says Brentford centre back Nathan Collins, 25, and Fulham defender Calvin Bassey, 26, have been added to their list of January targets. Collins plays for the Republic of Ireland and Bassey for Nigeria.

There is good news for Liverpool fans. TEAMtalk says right back Frimpong, 25, will stay at Anfield for the rest of the season, and the talk linking him with the Saudi Pro League is wide of the mark. Football Insider says Al-Hilal do like the Netherlands international, but Liverpool will only listen to a big offer next summer, not in January.

Barcelona are on the hunt for defensive help, and Bayern Munich centre-back Jonathan Tah has reportedly come up as a possible target, says Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Newcastle have reportedly cooled on Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney, 30, says The I. They will not chase the England forward, even though he played for the club from 2015 to 2018 and has also worked with current boss Matthias Jaissle in Saudi Arabia.

Arsenal are weighing up a move for Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane as they look to strengthen their attack, according to BBC Sport.

Aston Villa are close to rewarding four players with new deals, says the Telegraph. Ian Maatsen, 24, Emiliano Buendia, 29, Amadou Onana, 25, and Ross Barkley, 32, are all expected to sign soon.

Newcastle, Sunderland and Leeds have joined United, Brighton, Tottenham and Everton in watching Dinamo Zagreb and Croatia striker Dion Beljo, 24, says TEAMtalk.

Everton could make a shock bid for Napoli midfielder Kevin de Bruyne, 35, says Calciomercato. The Belgium star used to play for Manchester City.
