Today’s biggest transfer stories

Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for AC Milan left-back Davide Bartesaghi. The 19-year-old recently scored twice in a game and has impressed after breaking into the Rossoneri’s first team this season.

Chelsea are among the Premier League teams to have enquired about James McAtee, who is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest. The Blues have made a habit of signing Manchester City academy products and McAtee, 23, is on their radar, although they could face competition from Leeds United.
