Christian Falk has said that reported rivals Bayern Munich are not pursuing a deal for the Atletico Madrid goal-getter, having earlier earmarked Alvarez as a potential heir to Harry Kane's crown.

Arsenal are also monitoring Morgan Rogers, claims Fabrizio Romano. The Gunners have muscled in on a London transfer tussle for the Aston Villa midfielder, who Chelsea and Tottenham are also desperate to land.

Two fresh faces have been added to the endless list of rumouredManchester United targets. Everton's Iliman Ndiaye's name has been jotted down as a potential Marcus Rashford replacement, say Caught Offside, while Fichajes write that Borussia Monchengladbach's wonderfully named Rocco Reitz is a £35m target for the summer.

United have also identified Nordsjaelland midfielderCaleb Yirenkyi as a midfield target. The 20-year-old has already won eight caps for Ghana and is being tracked extensively by the Red Devils, Arsenal, Galatasaray and Brighton & Hove Albion. Transfer Feed say Nordsjælland rejected a bid of €18 million from an English club in January.

United's pivot to Reitz and Yirenkyi comes amidManchester City's chase for Elliot Anderson. TEAMtalk say City are the frontrunners to land the England midfielder, though Nottingham Forest want a whopping £100m to do a deal.

Last but not least,Bournemouth want to tie Eli Kroupi Junior down to a new deal. The teenager forward has turned heads at Chelsea, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid this season. Bournemouth's top brass believe the whizkid could become their first ever £80m sale.
