Premier League clubs remain active in the transfer market despite the summer window having closed, with Arsenal , Chelsea , Manchester United , Liverpool and Tottenham continuing to explore potential deals. Arsenal have agreed a pre-contract deal for Andria Bartishvili and remain interested in Julian Alvarez and Eli Junior Kroupi, while also monitoring Nico Paz and Kenan Yildiz. Manager Mikel Arteta is also close to signing a new contract.

Martin Zubimendi could leave Arsenal amid interest from Chelsea, who are considering Marc Bernal as a possible January replacement for Enzo Fernandez. Chelsea have also handed Pedro Neto a contract extension. Manchester United retain an interest in Newcastle defender Lewis Hall despite his new deal, while United and Tottenham are monitoring Nicolo Tresoldi. Liverpool could compete with Chelsea for Lamine Camara and Manu Kone.

At Tottenham, Richarlison is expected to stay after his proposed move to Vasco da Gama collapsed over personal terms. Lucas Bergvall has also signed a new contract after reconsidering his future at Spurs. Clubs are already planning ahead for January, with further transfer developments, rumours and negotiations expected in the coming months.

Liverpool have four targets for January after failing to add a new central midfielder during the summer window.

According to TEAMtalk, the Reds are monitoring four midfielders: Lamine Camara, Aleksandar Stankovic, Alex Scott and Manu Kone.

Camara is said to be high on the club’s list after senior figures made contact with his camp before his proposed move to Chelsea collapsed.

Monaco are reportedly open to selling Camara in January, although they are believed to want around €70million (£60m) for the Senegal international. The 22-year-old is said to have his heart set on a move to the Premier League.

London Standard Arsenal ready to make move for Nico Paz Arsenal are preparing to make a move for Como attacking midfielder Nico Paz, with the Gunners reportedly ready to test Real Madrid’s plans for the Argentina international.

According to ElDesmarque, Arsenal are closely monitoring Paz and could make a formal approach in January 2027. The 22-year-old has continued to impress at Como and recently chose to remain in Italy rather than return to Real Madrid.

However, Real Madrid retain an €80m buy-back clause for Paz, which becomes active next summer. That gives the Spanish club significant control over the midfielder’s future and could complicate Arsenal’s plans.

Paz has made a strong start to the season, including a two-assist performance against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, further increasing interest in his services.
