TRENDING RUMORS

– Chelsea are looking at Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittensaccording to The Athletic. The 20-year-old is “definitely” a player under consideration by the Stamford Bridge hierarchy, and there is belief that BVB would be willing to part ways with him in the summer. Multiple clubs across Europe are keeping close tabs on his situation. Gittens has contributed to 10 goals in 27 matches this season, but a dip in form has seen him fail to score or assist in his last 16 games across all competitions.

– Four clubs are at the front of the queue in the race for Napoli striker Victor Osimhenreports Mark. The 26-year-old, on loan at Galatasaray until the end of the season, is being monitored by Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Juventus. The blues would be willing to negotiate offers even if clubs make proposals worth below his €75 million release clause.

– Arsenal have ended their interest in Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkinsaccording to the Mirror. The Gunners are set to look elsewhere in their search for a striker, after making a £40 million approach for the 29-year-old in January. RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko21, is said to remain on manager Mikel Arteta’s shortlist, and he could be seen as a potential alternative to Newcastle’s Alexander Isaac. It could be difficult to persuade the Magpies to part ways with the 25-year-old Sweden international.

– International are Interested in Como Attacking Midfielder Nico Pazreports Sports World. The Nerazzurri have identified the 20-year-old as one of their first potential reinforcements for next season, but they could face competition from Real Madrid, who inserted a €9 million clause that allows them to re-sign their former player. Paz has scored six goals while assisting another five in 27 Serie A appearances this season, as one of the standouts for manager Cesc Fabregas.

– A move for Real Madrid and Turkey international attacking midfielder Arda Güler is being considered by Aston Villa, according to TEAMtalk. The Premier League club are reported to hold “long-standing interest” in the 20-year-old, and they wouldn’t face competition from Liverpool despite the Reds being linked recently. The whites would be open to keeping hold of Guler, though they are willing to let him decide whether he wants to stay after struggling for regular first-team minutes — with just seven league starts so far this season.
