Arsenal are tracking RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa after Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior turned them down last summer. The 21‑year‑old Norwegian has scored 16 goals and provided 18 assists in 85 appearances for Leipzig and could fill the left‑wing slot left vacant by the departures of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. The Sun reports that Leipzig are open to a €60 million offer, having already generated significant funds from the sale of Yan Diomande to Real Madrid.
Newcastle United are considering a January move for Al‑Ahli striker Ivan Toney, according to Football Insider. The 30‑year‑old previously worked with Magpies boss Matthias Jaissle in Saudi Arabia, which could aid negotiations. Manchester United have also added Toney to their shortlist as they assess options after Benjamin Šeško’s injury.
