🚨 Liverpool, Arsenal & Chelsea have made contact with Bournemouth over a possible move for Alex Scott in the January transfer window, The i Paper understands. The initial enquiries are understood to be exploratory. The i Paper understands Liverpool & Chelsea are the keenest to make a move in January, while Arsenal would prefer to wait until the summer, however, their hand could be forced if a bidding war develops. Despite his reluctance to sign a new deal, Scott is also understood to be happy to remain at Bournemouth for the rest of the season. The club’s current position is that it would take an offer in excess of £100m to prise Scott away mid-season. 🕵️‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 [@MsiDouglas]

Jens Lehmann holds the record for the longest unbeaten start to a Premier League career, not losing ANY of his first 47 games in the competition. 🏆🇩🇪

🚨 Arsenal are looking at Alex Baena, Endrick, Antonio Nusa & Junior Kroupi as potential signings, should they make a move in January, but any deal is likely dependent on an outgoing. Mikel Arteta wants a transition player who can carry the ball up the pitch at pace & also be effective in tight spaces. Kroupi is the ideal candidate, but it is seen as unlikely that Bournemouth do a deal until the summer. The potential availability of Martin Zubimendi could also give Arsenal further leverage, since both Atletico Madrid & Real Madrid want him, with a swap deal NOT considered impossible, which would still allow Arsenal to move for Kroupi at a later date. 🕵️‍♂️ [@MiguelDelaney]

🚨 Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid & Chelsea are monitoring Martin Zubimendi. The three clubs all have a need for a midfielder, with Zubimendi viewed as one of the few of a high level potentially available in the next window. Arsenal want a transitional winger - a fast player who can carry the ball up the pitch quickly - but are unlikely to move without first making a major sale. That has led to clubs feel a deal may be possible for Zubimendi, who is seen as making the most sense as an outgoing. It would be expected Arsenal want to recoup the £60m at least. 🕵️‍♂️🇪🇸 [@MiguelDelaney]
