Transfer Rumours: Arsenal target former Tottenham star as 'mammoth' deal teased
FootballTransfers runs through the biggest rumours and gossip from 15 November, including the latest updates on Will Lankshear, Malo Gusto and Robin Risser.
Arsenal join Lankshear race
Arsenal have joined the growing list of admirers of Middlesbrough striker Will Lankshear, TEAMtalk claims.
The England youth international joined Boro from Tottenham in the summer and has enjoyed a rip-roaring start to the new season, scoring 13 goals in as many Championship games and another two in the Carabao Cup.
His form has put him on the radar of numerous Premier League sides, with Arsenal now the latest team to show an interest in the 21-year-old. Spurs do not have a buy-back clause, but they do have matching rights for any offer that comes in for Lankshear.
Gusto to Man Utd?
Man Utd could be interested in signing Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto, as per Football Insider.
The France international is exploring his options ahead of January after falling out of favour this term. Gusto enjoyed his best season at Chelsea under incoming Man Utd boss Mauricio Pochettino, and the Red Devils could be in the market for a replacement for Diogo Dalot.
However, there is an understanding that a deal will be difficult to do. In the summer, Chelsea slapped a "mammoth" €90 million price tag on Gusto. Even at a reduced price, the Blues' demands could still prove prohibitive.
Risser battle
Liverpool and Man Utd are closely monitoring RC Lens goalkeeper Robin Risser, 4-4-2.ch writes.
The 21-year-old has emerged as one of the most promising shot-stoppers in France in recent times, and he remains highly rated despite Lens' difficult season. Risser has conceded a whopping 16 goals in just four Champions League outings, including nine in a historic drubbing by Como.
Numerous clubs are keeping tabs on his development, with suitors from England and Italy particularly attentive to his situation. Besides Liverpool and Man Utd, Risser is being courted by Juventus and AC Milan. Lens want at least €40 million for the France international.
Arsenal get serious over Nusa
Arsenal have "accelerated" their pursuit of RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa, according to TEAMtalk.
The Gunners have made contact with the Norway attacker's entourage, and it is believed that Nusa is interested in a move to the reigning Premier League champions. A January move is unrealistic, although Arsenal could attempt to test Leipzig's resolve.
Nusa is currently valued at €70m-€90m, but reports in Germany have suggested that his price tag could exceed the €100m mark if he keeps up his spectacular form, which has seen him produce six goals and eight assists in 15 games.
Alexander-Arnold won't move in January
Real Madrid will not offload Trent Alexander-Arnold in January, Fabrizio Romano understands.
The 28-year-old has been linked with a possible return to the Premier League and even former club Liverpool in recent weeks, but the transfer insider states that there is no truth to these claims. There are no discussions about a potential transfer.
Alexander-Arnold remains determined to become a regular at Real Madrid, while manager Jose Mourinho is very happy with what he has seen from the England international despite only rarely affording him the opportunity to show off his talents.
