Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for West Ham United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while Chelsea have decided to listen to permanent offers for winger Alejandro Garnacho as the summer transfer window gathers pace.
According to reports, Arsenal have identified Wan-Bissaka as one of several options to strengthen the right-back position, with the club assessing potential replacements and competition for Jurrien Timber.
The interest comes after West Ham’s reported relegation from the Premier League, a situation that could make the DR Congo international available at a reduced fee.
Wan-Bissaka is said to be among a shortlist of defensive targets as Arsenal reshape their squad ahead of the new season, with reports also linking Ben White with a possible departure.
However, no formal agreement has been announced by either club.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are reportedly prepared to part ways with Garnacho after just one season at Stamford Bridge, but only on a permanent transfer rather than a loan deal.
The Argentina international is understood to have struggled to establish himself following his move from Manchester United, managing only one Premier League goal during the campaign.
Chelsea’s hierarchy are now reportedly open to offers as they reshape the squad ahead of the new season.
