Arsenal and Liverpool are pursuing Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, Manchester City are targeting Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, while Brighton's Jan Paul van Hecke is set to decide his future after the World Cup amid interest from Tottenham.

Arsenal have opened discussions over a move for Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi after the 18-year-old impressed in Morocco's 1-1 draw against Brazil in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup.

Liverpool are also in talks regarding Bouaddi, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain continuing to monitor the highly rated youngster, who is expected to command a fee of at least £60 million.

Bayern Munich's pursuit of PSV Eindhoven forward Ismael Saibari could become increasingly complicated after the 25-year-old Morocco international enhanced his reputation by scoring against Brazil at the World Cup, a performance likely to increase his market value.

Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke has confirmed he will address his long-term future after the World Cup. The 26-year-old Netherlands international remains a target for Tottenham, whose two offers for the centre-back were rejected by the Seagulls.

Manchester City have identified Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite as a potential successor to John Stones, who is expected to leave the club. However, Everton are demanding £70 million for the 23-year-old England international.

Roma are preparing a £35 million offer for Marseille forward Mason Greenwood and are willing to include a sell-on clause in an attempt to persuade the French club to sanction the transfer.

Atalanta midfielder Ederson was scheduled to undergo a medical on Sunday ahead of completing his move to Manchester United. The 26-year-old Brazil international is now closing in on a switch to Old Trafford.

Manchester United could reduce the financial impact of Ruben Amorim's departure after dismissing the Portuguese manager in January. The club may save a significant portion of the £15.9 million compensation package owed to Amorim should he accept the vacant managerial position at AC Milan.
