The Guardian SportFollowing a disastrous loan spell at Aston Villa, where he was restricted to just nine appearances, Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliot could get his career back on track in Italy with Napoli or Lazio. Manchester United are in the market for a centre-back and Southampton’s Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Chelsea’s Tosin Adarabioyo are both being touted as potential new recruits. And finally, Roma’s speedy teenage striker Robinio Vaz is wanted by Hull City, while Leeds United reserve goalkeeper Lucas Perri is off to Torino and could be replaced by Standard Liege’s Matthieu Epolo.

An unused substitute in Newcastle’s draw with Liverpool last weekend, Nick Woltemade could be shipped out to Napoli on loan. Despite a promising start after his arrival from Stuttgart for £69m, the beanpole striker has not had a happy time of it on Tyneside and the evidence of Newcastle’s midweek Carabao Cup win over West Brom suggests Woltemade is totally unsuited to the intensity of Matthias Jaissle’s preferred style of play. The same cannot be said for versatile Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo, who has been stood down from training until the end of the transfer window amid talks of an impending French exit.

02 The Guardian Sport While Mikel Arteta insists he is “really happy” with the squad Arsenal have, talk persists that he’d be even happier if Julián Alvarez was part of it. A pariah among Atlético Madrid fans after stating he wants to leave their club, the Argentinian striker wants a “dream” move to Barcelona. With his employers refusing to sell him to the Spanish champions and Alvarez having missed training for the past two days, Atlético officials are believed to be in negotiations with Arsenal over the sale of a player they value at £128m and Gabriel Jesus could be sent the other way in an effort to grease the wheels.
