It’s time once again for our regular morning round-up and review of the very biggest new Premier League transfer rumours – and today, we’re kicking off with a story that should be of interest to Arsenal and Manchester City supporters.
Football Insider allege that those two teams are “emerging as contenders” to sign Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown, who was one of the stars of the German Under-21 side that lost to England in the final of the European Championship earlier this summer - and just made his debut for the senior team this international break.
Now 22, Brown is having another impressive season and this report names him as “one of the most sought-after full-backs on the planet,” although only Arsenal and City are mentioned by name.
The article backs up its claims with some help from Florian Plettenberg, who took to social media on Monday to claim that Frankfurt “expect top offers” for Brown and “are demanding up to €60m (£52m)” from any club that wants to sign him next summer.
The 3AM Verdict: Manchester City have been linked with Brown on a few occasions but after they signed Rayan Aït-Nouri it’s hard to imagine that they’d have too much need for another left-back – and Arsenal are pretty replete in that department, too. Brown is unlikely to move until next summer anyway, so perhaps things will change between now and then, but we’re unconvinced that either of these teams will be at the front of the queue.
Tottenham Hotspur enter race for Rangers star
Over to TeamTalk now, who claims that Spurs are set to “burst into the race” that’s supposedly brewing over the signature of Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin, whose future at Ibrox is “uncertain” as more teams show interest.
Wolves, Crystal Palace, Burnley and West Ham United are all noted as having been linked elsewhere, but now the 24-year-old Belgian has “emerged as a target” for Thomas Frank’s Spurs, who are keen on adding a new central midfielder either in January or in the summer.
Rangers apparently “face losing him” if a good enough bid comes in over the winter, but “could demand” a relatively hefty £20-25m for the international. That would make him the most expensive sale in the history of the Scottish club.
The 3AM Verdict: Links with Raskin are cropping up absolutely everywhere now, especially after he fell out with former manager Russell Martin – this is the first time we’ve seen Spurs mentioned, however. It will be interesting to see whether Rangers fight to keep hold of him until next summer once they find a new manager.
Chelsea & Liverpool still keen on £50m winger
Finally, a story from Caught Offside which claims that Chelsea and Liverpool are still “keeping tabs” on Lyon winger Malick Fofana, who was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League over the summer.
The “£50m-rated” wideman remained at Lyon after the two clubs most persistently rumoured to be keen decided against a bid because Fofana was not “a top priority” – but the 20-year-old “remains firmly on both clubs’ radars” heading into 2026.
Manchester United, Spurs and Inter Milan are all mentioned as teams that are monitoring the youngster as well, although Liverpool are the only one of the five suggested suitors said to have made any “concrete contact” with Fofana’s representatives, which they did during the summer.
The 3AM Verdict: Honestly, there’s nothing new here – just a filler article reiterating that teams who were interested in Fofana a few months ago still are. The question is whether he plays well enough this season to become a ‘top priority’ next summer. It’s unlikely that either Chelsea or Liverpool make a January move as it stands.
