Arsenal and Juventus are at the forefront of the chase for discontented Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyökeres, reports A BOLA. While Atlético Madrid, Manchester United and Saudi club Al Ahli are investigating potential moves, they have not advanced as far in negotiations.

Arsenal have pinpointed Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens as a key target, states CaughtOffside. Nevertheless, Fabrizio Romano indicates the English winger is turning down all approaches while holding out for a Chelsea transfer.

Barcelona are seeking to offload Andreas Christensen for approximately €20 million (£17.1 million, $23 million), writes Sempre Barca.
