Arsenal are preparing a second bid for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, while the Villans consider whether to sell Watkins or Jhon Duran in the final days of the January transfer window. The Gunners’ initial offer was rejected just before Villa’s Champions League match against Celtic, where Watkins scored and then missed a penalty. Arsenal are desperate to sign a striker before the Monday deadline, but Duran’s impending £64m move to Saudi club Al-Nassr may end their hopes.
Meanwhile, Mathys Tel has informed Bayern Munich that he wants to leave, sparking a frenzy among Premier League clubs. Manchester United believe they have an advantage that could prove decisive in the race for the young French striker, with Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham also interested. Wolves’ Matheus Cunha is seen as an alternative for Arsenal if they fail to secure Watkins or RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, while the Gunners lead the race for Norwegian starlet Sverre Nypan.
Manchester United are also closing in on a deal with Lecce for defender Patrick Dorgu, but the club needs to sell players to buy. Alejandro Garnacho may be on his way out, and Marcus Rashford is searching for a move away from Old Trafford, with Juventus being the only possible option this January.
