Arsenal interested in move for Ibrahim Salah

Arsenal are believed to be interested in a player who shares a surname with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah - there seems to be no relation between Ibrahim Salah and his Liverpool counterpart, but the Gunners will be hoping that he can be every bit as successful if they can complete a transfer for the Moroccan.

This is according to a report from Sport Le360, who mention that several clubs are eyeing up the 22-year-old - with Arsenal among them. While a formal offer has yet to be submitted, Arsenal's interest certainly seems apparent.

Jorginho could make move to Juventus

Midfield metronome Jorginho could be on the move. He is thought to be a transfer target for Juventus, according to a report on X (formerly known as Twitter) from journalist Rudy Galetti - they're also in the hunt for Tottenham Hotspur's Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Manchester City's Kalvin Phillips, as they look to strengthen their options in midfield.

Despite the Old Lady's interest in the Italian Euros winner, it seems unlikely that they will make a move for him in January. Instead, they will wait until the summer, when his contract expires - assuming that the Gunners do not offer him a fresh deal before then. Hojbjerg is thought to be their preferred target - he has been told he can leave North London in January.
