There has been yet another twist in the Julian Alvarez transfer saga, with the Gunners also believed to be chasing the likes of Nicolo Tresoldi, Bazoumana Toure, Kenan Yildiz, Antonio Nusa and Nico Williams.

Liverpool are understood to be leading Chelsea in the bidding war for Alex Scott, who, following a dramatic U-turn, will be allowed to leave Bournemouth in January for a significant fee up to £100million.

Arsenal could fight Liverpool for the signing of Kevin Schade, reports claim.

The German forward continues to go from strength to strength at high-flying Brentford, attracting plenty of interest from elsewhere in the Premier League.

According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal and Liverpool are both keen on a deal for Schade, who has scored three goals for the Bees so far this season.

Brentford would apparently demand a fee in excess of £60m for the 24-year-old.

Getty New Scott update Marco Rose has delivered a positive update on Alex Scott, following Bournemouth’s U-turn on selling the midfielder amid links to Chelsea and Liverpool.

Chelsea showed a strong interest in Scott during the summer transfer window but saw an offer of £64million rejected by Bournemouth, who insisted the 23-year-old was not for sale.

However, ahead of the January transfer window, that stance has softened to put the Blues - and Liverpool - on alert as both clubs seek to bolster their midfield options.

As reported by Standard Sport , Bournemouth are now open to selling Scott - but only materialise if certain conditions are met.

The Argentine is out of contract in the summer, and Barcelona could offer him a fresh start.

Per reports in Spain, they might even swoop to sign him at a cut price in January.
