NICOLAS PEPE

Manchester City have entered the race to sign the in-form Lille forward, according to the Times.

The Ivory Coast star has scored eight goals and provided five assists in 12 matches in Ligue 1 this term and was named the player of the month for September, beating Kylian Mbappe and Neymar to the award.

The 22-year-old is one of the most wanted players in Europe and has also attracted interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

AARON RAMSEY

The Wales international has a new suitor in Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga champions are in pole position to sign him, according the Daily Express.

Ramsey’s contract expires at the end of the season and will be available as a free agent next summer after Arsenal withdrew their offer of a new deal.

Manchester United and Chelsea had seen him as their top priority, but Bayern want to sign him to a pre-contract at the start of January, when he is eligible to a deal.
