Unai Emery could have his eyes set on Germany, as Sports Bild suggest that Arsenal are monitoring the situation of Borussia Dortmund youngster Julian Weigl. Considering that the Gunners will be short on midfielders after the departures of Aaron Ramsey and Mohamed Elneny, this could be a smart signing for the London club.

PSG are clearly not satisfied with the firepower they already boast of, and recent reports have resumed the claim that Christian Eriksen is being targeted by the Ligue 1 giants.
