European heavyweights lining up for Austrian starlet.

17-year-old forward Yusuf Demir has emerged on the radar of FC Barcelona, Manchester United, and Ajax.

Juventus want to bring in another forward to provide competition for Alvaro Morata up front.

Odsonne Edouard, Memphis Depay, Krzysztof Piątek, Arkadiusz Milik and Olivier Giroud are a few names among the host of names on the shortlist of the Italian champions.

Man Utd set to trigger Lingard extension.

Manchester United will take up the option of extending Jesse Lingard’s contract so as to prevent the player from leaving for free.

The attacking midfielder’s contract is due to expire in the summer and he will be able to start negotiations with other clubs regarding a transfer from next week.

The Red Devils, as a result, have decided to exercise the option of extending his four-year deal for a further 12 months to ensure a transfer fee will be paid for the outcast in the new year. [Daily Mail]

Vinicius a target for Arsenal.

Arsenal are weighing up a loan move for Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior.

The Gunners find themselves much short of firepower this season and are keen on bringing in the versatile Brazilian forward who has contributed three goals and three assists in La Liga and Champions League for the Spanish champions this term.

Real Madrid are open to loan offers for the 20-year-old who is far from being a consistent performer in the team. [Daily Star]

PSG interested in Rudiger.

Paris Saint-Germain could make a move for Antonio Rudiger in January with manager Thomas Tuchel a keen admirer of the player.

The PSG boss wanted to bring in the center-back in the previous transfer window and, with his squad short of a defender since losing Thiago Silva, has still ‘not changed his mind’.

Rudiger is struggling to find minutes at Chelsea after falling out of favour under Frank Lampard. [Le Parisien]
