Villa eye Endrick loan deal - Wednesday's gossip

Aston Villa may be interested in signing Brazil forward Endrick on loan after the young 20-year-old failed to impress Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho. Elsewhere, Paris St-Germain and Liverpool are also showing interest in signing Rayan Cherki from Manchester City, should the 23-year-old France midfielder become available. Surveillance is also being kept on Ajax's Dutch defender Aaron Bouwman, while Newcastle are watching youngsters like Aaron Bouwman.

Arsenal are reportedly serious contenders for the signature of Club Tijuana's 17-year-old Mexican attacking midfielder Gilberto Mora. Bournemouth, however, has no plans to sell England midfielder Alex Scott in January, despite the interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid. Real Madrid's Antonio Rudiger, 33, is set to leave the club at the end of the season without an offer of a new contract.

Meanwhile, Tottenham will prioritize a striker in the January transfer window but are expected to avoid spending big money. Real Madrid and Barcelona are willing to offer Manchester United's attacking midfielder JJ Gabriel, 15, a considerable salary, bonuses and signing-on fee. Finally, Bayern Munich is still hopeful of signing Gabriel, but they are unwilling to meet his team's seven-figure salary demands.

Bayern Munich are also keeping an eye on Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope, whose contract is set to expire next summer.
