Arsenal are targeting Borussia Dortmund's Julian Brandt as a free transfer target when his contract expires this summer. The 29-year-old German midfielder has been impressive for Dortmund and would represent a significant coup for Mikel Arteta's side without a transfer fee. Meanwhile, Arsenal have reportedly dropped their interest in Newcastle's Sandro Tonali after the Italian midfielder's £77 million price tag proved prohibitive.

Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea are all pursuing Freiburg's 20-year-old Swiss midfielder Johan Manzambi, while Juventus have opened talks with Manchester City's Bernardo Silva about a potential move when his contract expires. The Portuguese midfielder faces competition from clubs including Galatasaray and Inter Miami. Brighton are confident of securing Cologne's 19-year-old German winger Said el Mala ahead of Chelsea, who are instead focused on keeping striker Liam Delap despite his limited playing time this season.

Liverpool remain interested in Eintracht Frankfurt's 22-year-old German defender Nnamdi Collins as they search for defensive reinforcements. Barcelona are exploring alternatives to Marcus Rashford should they fail to agree on a permanent deal for the Manchester United forward. The transfer window continues to generate significant interest across the Premier League and Europe as clubs prepare for the summer window.
