Barcelona attacker Ferran Torres has apparently generated interest from two Premier League clubs ahead of the January transfer window. Aston Villa and Arsenal are both said to be interested in a winter deal for the ex-Manchester City man, with both Mikel Arteta and Unai Emery believing that he can slot into their systems. Barcelona would apparently be prepared to let Torres leave the club permanently in January for an appropriate fee, even though the winger is keen to stay and prove his worth to head coach Flick.

Manchester City want to tie goalscoring defender Josko Gvardiol down to a new contract, according to a report.
Even though the 22-year-old is still contracted to the Premier League champions until the summer of 2028, the Daily Star reports that Etihad chiefs are keen to agree an extension with him as a matter of priority. Gvardiol is understood to earn around £120,000 a week in Manchester under the terms of his current agreement, but he is now set to receive a pay hike to £150,000 a week, in addition to another two years on his deal until 2030.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has responded to shock claims that Real Madrid could try to prise Sandro Tonali away from St James' Park in 2025.
"That one is news to me. It is not something I am contemplating. I am trying to build Sandro into the team after his ban," as quoted by Chronicle Live. "He has performed really well the last few games. I have been really pleased with how he is finding his feet in the team. He is building new relationships. It is not just the player coming into the team it is also the players around Sandro and how those relationships start to form. I have been pleased how they have.
"He has been very good psychologically, his attitude has been excellent and I am really hopeful for the future of him in our team. We have held a lot of individual meetings with him. A lot of tactical reviews.
"It is one thing reviewing his training performances but that is totally different from reviewing his match performances and find ways of taking his game to another level. It is a lot easier when a player is in the team. I have pleased the way he has come back from his ban. The international games have helped him and he has made a good transition back into the team."
