Arsenal are aiming to enhance their attack in the upcoming January transfer window, targeting Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi. The 20-year-old French attacker has captured the attention of the Premier League champions, though the Gunners face fierce European competition from Bayern Munich and Paris St-Germain. Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz, a 21-year-old Turkish international, is another player on Arsenal's radar, but manager Mikel Arteta remains firmly concentrated on securing additions specifically for his striking department.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Manchester United have been actively monitoring talent in Germany after sending scouts to watch a quartet of Borussia Dortmund players. The Red Devils ran the rule over 30-year-old Guinea striker Serhou Guirassy, 21-year-old English midfielder Jobe Bellingham, 26-year-old German midfielder Felix Nmecha, and 24-year-old Swedish defender Daniel Svensson. Meanwhile, Brighton's 24-year-old Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen is reportedly eager to seize any opportunity to join Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Brighton are also planning for defensive reinforcements by keeping tabs on 18-year-old Portuguese defender Jordan Arnolin from Estoril, though the teenager is simultaneously attracting interest from Barcelona. Domestically, under-pressure Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner has received crucial backing from his squad following a collective meeting at the team's training facility. Meanwhile, Sunderland are preparing to supply manager Regis le Bris with transfer funds during the January window in a bid to change the club's fortunes.
Rounding out the latest transfer developments, a number of Premier League sides are closely tracking Celta Vigo's 23-year-old Spanish defender Javi Rodriguez. Across La Liga, Atletico Madrid are already formulating their recruitment strategy for next season, targeting a deal for Almeria's 21-year-old Serbian midfielder Stefan Dzodic to enhance their squad depth ahead of the upcoming campaign.
