The Lecce left-back, who was recently named Denmark’s Young Player of the Year, could be available for around £35 million next summer. The 20-year-old is one of several left-backs who have been linked with the Red Devils in recent weeks as Ruben Amorim looks to strengthen the position. The likes of Alphonso Davies, Milos Kerkez and Álvaro Carreras are also said to be on the club’s radar.
– Palmeiras defender Vitor Reis is a potential transfer target for Arsenal and Chelsea next summer, reports Florian Plettenberg. The 18-year-old is under contract with the Brazilian club until 2028, although that may not be enough to deter bids next summer. Reis is regarded as one of the biggest talents currently playing in South America, having made his senior Palmeiras debut earlier this year. He is also a Brazil Under-17 international with nine caps to his name. Both Chelsea and Arsenal are “closely monitoring” Reis’ development.
– Liverpool view Brighton & Hove Albion forward João Pedro as a long-term successor to Darwin Núñez, reports Ekrem Konur. Talks have already taken place between the two clubs over a potential transfer, which could happen as soon as January. The 23-year-old has an impressive record for the Seagulls, having scored 24 goals in 48 games for the club in all competitions. Pedro is also a Brazil international, earning his first cap for the Seleção last year against Colombia.
– Chelsea are set to make midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall available for a transfer in January, Football Insider has reported. Despite only joining the club in the summer from Leicester City, the Blues are set to cut their losses by sanctioning his exit next month. Rangers have expressed an interest in signing the 26-year-old, who has made just five appearances in the Premier League this season.
– FC Utrecht want to make Miguel Rodríguez‘s loan transfer from Celta Vigo permanent at the end of the season, Relevo reports. The 21-year-old Spanish winger has played 13 times for the Eredivisie side this season in all competitions, grabbing two goals and an assist in the process. According to Relevo, there is a clause in Rodríguez’s loan agreement that allows Utrecht to make the move permanent — which they now intend to trigger.
