UNITED AND ARSENAL TO STEAL EACH OTHERS TARGET

 

Obviously most of the back pages are devoted to Liverpool's victory over Manchester United, which is well covered elsewhere on the site, but there are also some transfer rumours knocking around the place too.

Manchester United eyeing Arsenal's £37m target Julian Draxler: United made another check on Arsenal’s £37 million target in Schalke’s 2-1 win in Augsburg on Friday night reports the Daily Star. The paper says United boss David Moyes has identified Germany as the place to recruit midfield talent. In addition to Draxler, United are in pole position to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Ilkay Gundogan. And Moyes is also an admirer of Gundogan’s team-mate – Marco Reus – and Bayern Munich’s Toni Kroos.

Arsenal lead Manchester United in transfer chase for Matthias Ginter of Freiburg: Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is heading the £8m race for Germany’s new star centre-half Matthias Ginter, according to the Daily Mirror. Wenger sent chief scout Steve Rowley to watch the recently-capped Freiburg defender in the Bundesliga this weekend. The Gunners have been on the trail of 6ft 3in 20-year-old for months, but are now stepping up their interest ahead of a summer bid. Manchester United have also been keeping an eye on the player, but Wenger has strong relations with Freiburg and would have a good chance in the chase.

Arsenal and Tottenham both want Gus Poyet's son: A host of Premier League clubs, led by Arsenal and Tottenham, are tracking Gus Poyet's son Diego, who could leave Charlton in the summer according to the Daily Mail. The 18-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and has been watched by a number of top flight sides. Although a summer top flight move would be a free transfer, a tribunal fee would need to be paid given his age.
