- Liverpool are in the driving seat to sign Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola, The Sun reports. The club are looking to recruit an established winger following the exit of Mohamed Salah this summer, and Barcola is high on their shortlist.

- Arsenal have made an enquiry for sought-after RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, TalkSPORT has revealed. While the Ivory Coast international has been heavily linked with a move to European champions PSG, it is believed that Arsenal haven't given up on the idea of signing him just yet.

Lacroix is keen on making the move after making his World Cup debut with France, where he played in three of France's eight games.

- Liverpool have made an initial approach to sign AS Monaco attacker Maghnes Akliouche, reports Sky Sports News. The 24-year-old has been with the France at the World Cup, but with the tournament now concluded, his long-term club future looks set to be resolved.

- Borussia Dortmund have improved their offer for Genk wonderkid Konstantinos Karetsas, Sky Germany reports. The total value of their new bid is just over €30 million, including potential add-ons, although an agreement is still yet to be struck between the two clubs.
