Arsenal defender subject of interest from Italy as Arteta eyes replacement – latest transfer news | OneFootball

Inter Milan are preparing a January bid for Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, according to reports.

The Sun say the Italian giants are interested in the Ukrainian defender and that boss Mikel Arteta is eyeing AC Milan star Theo Hernandez as a possible replacement.

Hernandez’s contract runs out in 2026 and the Sun say there has been little progress on a new deal for the 27-year-old.

Florian Plettenburg of Sky Germany also says the Gunners are interested in Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo but that a move would be more likely in the summer.

Meanwhile, Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo claim that Arsenal are currently weighing up a swoop for Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo.

Elsewhere, Sky Sports report that Eintracht Frankfurt have been informed that Manchester City want to sign their star forward Omar Marmoush this month.

The 25-year-old has scored 13 times in 15 Bundesliga games this season but Sky in Germany say there has been a gap in valuation between City and Frankfurt, who reportedly want around £67m.

City have also approached Palmeiras over a deal for highly rated 18-year-old defender Vitor Reis, Sky Sports say, while The Athletic report that they are lining up a deal for RC Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov.

Sky Sports are also reporting that VfB Stuttgart are “closely monitoring the development of Chelsea defender Renato Veiga”.

The versatile Portuguese youngster has played 17 times for Chelsea this season but has been restricted to appearances largely off the bench in the Premier League.

Fabrizio Romano says Manchester United youngster Amad Diallo has agreed a new deal with the club until 2030, snubbing interest from “two top clubs” this month.

Marcus Rashford is continuing to attract interest from AC Milan, meanwhile, but they are only willing to pay half of his wages in a loan move, the Times report.

And Wolves have confirmed the signing of Emmanuel Agbadou from Reims.
