Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are monitoring the situation of Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, according to TEAMtalk. The 27-year-old is frustrated with limited playing time under José Mourinho, having made just three La Liga starts this season amid competition from Denzel Dumfries. His former club Liverpool are looking for right-back reinforcements following Jeremie Frimpong's injury.
Elsewhere, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are scouting Aston Villa attacking midfielder Johan Manzambi after a strong start to Premier League life. The 21-year-old moved from SC Freiburg for around £60 million this summer and has two goals and two assists in four matches. Bayern view him as a potential target if uncertainty grows over Michael Olise's future.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United are exploring a move for Roma full back Wesley, according to Football Insider. Roma are expected to demand a fee of €60 million. Chelsea, meanwhile, are in contact with the representatives of AFC Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott ahead of a potential January approach, with any deal expected to require at least £100 million.
Manchester United have also made contact regarding Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, with Liverpool showing interest. Real Madrid are closing in on a new one-year contract extension for 34-year-old goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, according to Fabrizio Romano.
