Igor Matanovic: English clubs track Freiburg Croatia striker

Man United and Arsenal are watching Igor Matanovic, while Newcastle could allow Joe Willock to leave in January

Manchester United and Arsenal are keeping an eye on Igor Matanovic (Freiburg), with Chelsea also showing interest, according to BBC Sport. The 23-year-old Croatian striker is among the players being monitored by multiple Premier League sides.

Juventus meanwhile want Giovanni Leoni (Liverpool), with the Serie A club looking to add defensive options and increase the number of Italian players in their squad, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.

At Newcastle, Joe Willock could be available in January. The Magpies are open to letting the midfielder leave in the winter window because his contract runs out in the summer and he hasn’t started negotiations over a new deal, Football Insider reports.

More names in the mix

  • Tottenham don’t plan to sell Micky van de Ven even though Liverpool are preparing a move for the Netherlands international next year.
  • Roma want Endrick (Real Madrid) on loan in January, with the 20-year-old keen on more game time at Serie A level.
  • Brighton have sent scouts to Medellín to watch Neider Parra (Atletico Nacional) and also have contingency plans if their top performers are targeted.
