Overview

• French outlet L’Équipe reports Arsenal and Bayern Munich are keeping close tabs on Malick Fofana and could act in the final days of the window.
• Lyon are prepared to sell for roughly £35m/€40m to help balance their finances, according to multiple reports.
• Everton reached a reported €36m package with Lyon, but Fofana is holding out for a Champions League club.
• Arsenal have made six signings and are on the verge of adding Eberechi Eze, with reports linking the move to squad needs following Kai Havertz’s knee injury.
• Further Arsenal business is expected to depend on outgoings and internal approval, as Bayern also assess wide options following other targets turning them down.
