Overview

• Tottenham have made an improved second offer for Nico Paz, reported around £43m with some outlets citing a £50m approach, but Como have rejected bids and are holding out for a much higher fee in the £60m–£70m range.
• Como view the 20-year-old as a long-term asset and Real Madrid retain options on the player, factors that strengthen the Serie A club’s negotiating stance.
• Arsenal are in official contact with Bayer Leverkusen over Hincapié, with multiple reports saying personal terms are agreed and a loan with obligation to buy is being prepared, as the €60m release clause is understood.
• FC Porto have submitted an official offer for Jakub Kiwior on a loan with obligation to buy worth in excess of €25m, and the player has approved the move, a step that would clear room for Hincapié.
• Arsenal have also approached Girona for right-back Arnau Martínez with a proposal of €8m plus €2m in add-ons, while Tottenham target at least a No.10 and a winger, with concrete interest in Savinho and no active move for Morgan Rogers.
