Aston Villa is actively pursuing Endrick, the 20-year-old Brazilian striker currently at Real Madrid, with plans to secure him on loan this January. The club is also preparing for a potential £18m bid for Kevin Viveros, a 26-year-old striker from Athletico Paranaense.

In addition, Liverpool is contemplating a move for Marc Bernal, a 19-year-old midfielder from Barcelona, while Everton is reportedly leading the race for Esteban Lepaul, a striker from Rennes.

Meanwhile, the future of former Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann remains uncertain as he has been linked with a return to RB Leipzig. However, Roger Schmidt, Red Bull's football chief, has dismissed these rumors, reaffirming support for the current manager Martin Demichelis.

Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United are all in pursuit of Antonio Nusa, the Norwegian forward valued at £60m by RB Leipzig.

On the other hand, Dominic Solanke, the 29-year-old England striker, has no intention of leaving Tottenham, despite the club's plans to bolster their attacking options in January.
