Atlético Madrid have joined the race for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, with TEAMtalk reporting a loan offer was rejected. The 25-year-old remains a target as Aston Villa also pursue him. Sources told ESPN on Monday that Arsenal are ready to approach Atlético forward Julián Álvarez, who is prioritising a move to Barcelona. Jackson could be viewed by Atlético as a potential replacement if Álvarez departs.

Bournemouth striker Junior Kroupi, 20, is on the radar of Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, according to The i Paper, despite a foot injury. The Cherries are firm in their stance under new manager Marco Rose.

Manchester United remain interested in Arsenal midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly, 19, though any deal would likely require over £50 million. Chelsea are also monitoring Atalanta defender Honest Ahanor, 18, who has two senior Italy caps. Aston Villa are lining up an approach for AC Milan winger Rafael Leão, 27, who is pushing to leave. Manchester United are also monitoring Barcelona's Alejandro Balde as a left-back option.
