TRENDING RUMORS

– Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández is on the radar of Paris Saint-Germain, L’Equipe reports. Chelsea have been in a period of upheaval recently with the exit of manager Enzo Maresca and the hiring of Liam Rosenior, and PSG are rumoured to have spotted an opportunity. Fernández has made 145 appearances for Chelsea since joining in a blockbuster €121 million deal. However, PSG will not pursue a deal in this window.

– Atlético Madrid are set to rival Manchester United and Napoli for João Gomes‘ signature, sources have told ESPN Brasil. The Wolves playmaker is expected to be on the move in the summer, as his side, who are rock bottom in the Premier League, brace for relegation. Atlético are in the market for a new central midfielder following the exit of Conor Gallagher, who joined Tottenham for a reported £35 million. As such, the Spanish club have the financial means to fund a move for Gomes, and they could make their move for the player this month.

– Bournemouth have funds available after Antoine Semenyo joined Manchester City, and sources told ESPN Brasil that they have entered the race to sign teenage Vasco da Gama striker Rayan. Sources have told ESPN that the Brazilian outfit has set a €50 million asking price for Rayan, and the Cherries are prepared to offer €35 million.

– Manchester United and Manchester City are “keeping close tabs” on Bournemouth star Alex Scott, according to TeamTalk. With just over two years left on his contract, the 22-year-old may be available for a cut-price deal in the summer. Aston Villa and Tottenham are also monitoring his development — although the latter’s signing of Gallagher could change their plans. Bournemouth are aware of interest from elsewhere and are set to offer the player a new contract.

– Everton have submitted a €20 million bid for Fenerbahçe forward Youssef En-Nesyri, Fabrizio Romano has revealed. Negotiations are already underway between the two clubs, with the Toffees keen to bolster their forward line before the transfer window shuts. En-Nesyri, 28, has also attracted attention from Nottingham Forest this month, although Olympiacos’ Mehdi Taremi has since emerged as their leading striker target, as per The Athletic.

– Santos full back Souza is expected to undergo a medical at Tottenham on Thursday ahead of his £13m move to the club, according to Sky Sports. Spurs have been keen to add a left back to their squad with Destiny Udogie having suffered from a hamstring injury this season, meaning natural right back Djed Spence has had to fill in.

DONE DEALS

– West Ham Women have signed Amber Tysiak from Union Berlin for an undisclosed fee.

EXPERT TAKE

ESPN’s resident scout Tor-Kristian Karlsen outlines seven players who would be great signings for any club this month. Here is his take on 19-year-old RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande:

Diomande’s first season at Leipzig has marked him out as one of the most eye-catching young attackers in Europe, and he is a natural target for the big spending teams. Deployed on both wings, Diomande’s impact is mainly seen from his ability to drive forward from wide areas.

He is particularly effective when moving inside, where his quick changes of direction, excellent balance, admirable determination, lightning-quick first step and close control make him difficult for markers to get to grips with.

Although the defensive side of his game remains a work in progress, the scale of his breakthrough has already drawn sustained attention from some of the biggest clubs, with Bayern Munich reported to be in the running. Though his transfer fee is likely to be around €80 million.
