- Manchester United are considering a move for Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, amid plans to land a forward in January, according to The Athletic. The 29-year-old is among several names being considered by the Red Devils, but he could be offered a new contract at Elland Road with the club keen to keep hold of their key star. Calvert-Lewin has scored four goals in eight Premier League matches this season.

- Liverpool have reached out to the representatives of Real Madrid right back Trent Alexander-Arnold, ahead of a potential move in January, Cadena Ser reports. The Reds are weighing up an initial loan approach for the 28-year-old, as manager Andoni Iraola looks to add fullback depth, while Los Blancos could look to Tottenham Hotspur's Pedro Porro as a potential replacement. Alexander-Arnold has struggled to earn regular minutes at the Bernabéu this season, with midfielder Federico Valverde starting in his position in Sunday's 2-1 win at Barcelona.

Chelsea winger Estêvão is attracting interest from multiple clubs, according to the Daily Mail. Uncertainty is continuing to grow around the 19-year-old's future after he was an unused substitute in the 1-1 Carabao Cup draw against Liverpool on Wednesday, when the Blues were eliminated from the competition on penalties. Several clubs are reported to be keeping tabs on his situation including European champions Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea's Premier League rivals Liverpool, while The Sun reports that his exit could be sanctioned in January.

- United States and Borussia Dortmund winger Mathis Albert is being watched by Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, according to TEAMtalk. City are at the front of the queue for the 17-year-old, and hopeful of persuading him to join them by proposing a lucrative contract. Dortmund have previously dismissed offers for Albert, but an offer worth €20 million could be enough to secure his transfer.

- Manchester City left back Rayan Aït-Nouri could leave the club in January, with Manchester United among the clubs in contact with his representatives, TEAMtalk reports. The Red Devils were previously linked with interest in the 25-year-old during the summer and have been in new talks with him, as City look to have his future resolved by the end of the winter transfer window. Ait-Nouri is yet to play a single minute in the Premier League this season.
