Arsenal have agreed to sell Belgium forward Leandro Trossard to Turkish side Besiktas for 20 euros (£17m), as they join a quartet of Premier League clubs chasing Bournemouth's Alex Scott. The 22-year-old English midfielder is wanted by Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, according to Talksport.
Trossard's departure could fund a move, though Arsenal face stiff competition. Manchester United and England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, 21, remains on Real Madrid's radar as the Spanish giants look to reinforce their midfield, reports Fichajes. However, Manchester City have told would-be suitors, including Real Madrid, that Portugal defender Ruben Dias, 29, is not for sale this summer, per Teamtalk.

Chelsea are bracing for a bid from Serie A side Como, who are preparing an offer worth around £30m for Trevoh Chalobah, 26, the England defender, according to Sky Sports. In Italy, Roma are ready to accelerate a 45m euros (£38.5m) move for Marseille's English forward Mason Greenwood, 24, reports Corriere dello Sport. Paris St-Germain know they would likely have to offer a historic fee to prise Argentine forward Julian Alvarez, 26, away from Atletico Madrid, according to Fichajes.
Atletico Madrid themselves are preparing a new offer for Sporting captain Morten Hjulmand after having a 35m euros (£30m) bid rejected for the Denmark midfielder, reports A Bola. Back in England, West Ham are interested in signing Everton's English winger Dwight McNeil, 26, this summer, per Sky Sports. And former Netherlands defender Daley Blind, 36, is closing in on a return to Ajax after leaving Spanish club Girona, reports Algemeen Dagblad.
