Arsenal sent scouts to watch Serie A duo

Arsenal sent scouts to watch AC Milan attacker Suso and Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella in action over the weekend, according to Calcio Mercato.

Gunners boss Unai Emery is lining up summer transfer targets, but Barella may be out of the club's current price range with a market value of €50m ($57m, £44m).

Suso has been a bright spark for Milan this season, contributing five goals and eight assists in 22 Serie A matches.

Inter Milan linked with Tottenham's Sissoko

Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko is the subject of interest from Inter Milan, according to Calcio Mercato.

The Serie A outfit have been monitoring the Frenchman's progress for a few months and may launch a summer bid for his services.

Sissoko has contributed two assists in 20 Premier League matches this term, while helping Spurs challenge for the title.

Dortmund eye Wan-Bissaka swoop

Borussia Dortmund have identified Aaron Wan-Bissaka as a primary transfer target, according to The Sun.

The German giants want the English full-back to follow in the footsteps of Jadon Sancho, who has become one of the finest young players in Europe since leaving the Premier League.

Crystal Palace value Wan-Bissaka at around £40m ($52m) and Manchester City are reportedly also chasing his signature.

Chelsea's Alonso wanted by Madrid

Real Madrid view Marcos Alonso as an option to replace Marcelo, according to Don Balon. 

The Chelsea defender is not on the top of the Spanish side's list, with the club eyeing David Alaba as the ideal replacement, but he would be a more affordable option for Los Blancos. 

Roma deny any interest in Porto's Herrera

Italian club Roma have denied any interest in Porto midfielder Hector Herrera. 

The Mexico international has been linked with a move to Serie A, but club sporting director Monchi made it clear that he wouldn't be landing with the Rome outfit. 

"I have read so many times that an Italian team will take Hector Herrera," he told Sky (via Corriere dello Sport). "He is a strong player like many other players at Porto. Everyone talks about Roma but I tell you there is nothing."

Coutinho could land at PSG

Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho could wind up at PSG after the season ends, according to Le10Sport. 

Coutinho has fallen out of favour at Barcelona this season, leading to speculation that he could leave the Blaugrana at the end of the season. 

Neymar has a strong bond with his fellow Brazilian, and that relationship plus a possible sale of Edinson Cavani could see Coutinho make the move to Paris.

Ozil reps shopping him to other clubs

The playmaker's future at Arsenal is increasingly in doubt

Mesut Ozil’s representatives have been shopping him around to other clubs, according to The Telegraph.

The Arsenal midfielder has been struggling for game time this season, as Unai Emery has left the ex-Germany international increasingly isolated. 

With Ozil's future in doubt, intermediaries with strong links to clubs in China and Italy have been scouting out potential destinations for the playmaker. 

Madrid confident Chelsea turmoil will help land Hazard

Real Madrid are confident that Chelsea's recent struggles will make it even easier for them to sign Eden Hazard, the Mirror reports. 

The Blues lost 6-0 to Man City at the weekend, putting both their top-four hopes and manager Maurizio Sarri's job in peril. 

With Hazard having admitted that moving to Madrid would be a "dream" earlier this season, the Blancos think the turmoil at Stamford Bridge will help make that dream a reality.

Chinese interest in Malcom cools

Interest from Dalian Yifang and Shanghai SIPG in Barcelona winger Malcom has cooled of late, reports Le10Sport. 

The two Chinese clubs have been tipped to move for the 21-year-old, who has struggled to impose himself in his first year at Barca.

But the tax levied on the fee Barca would demand for Malcom, in addition to the fee itself (up to €50 million), is putting the two Chinese sides off.
