Could Victor Valdepenas end up at the Emirates Stadium? Photo by Imago/Alterphotos

Mikel Arteta's love affair with central defenders is showing no signs of letting up, and today, Arsenal have been linked with a move to Real Madrid defender Victor Valdepenas.

The teenager, who currently plays for Real Madrid's reserve team, is highly rated across Europe but is finding it difficult to break into the first team squad at the Bernabeu.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are monitoring Valdepenas' situation closely as Mikel Arteta is a big fan of the player. They could make a move next summer, but it is unlikely to be a cheap deal due to the fact that the 18-year-old has a contract with Los Blancos until 2029.

Valdepenas is predominantly a central defender, but he also has the ability to play at left-back, a trait Arteta likes.

Real Madrid keeping tabs on Florian Wirtz

Florian Wirtz has had a slow start to his Liverpool career, and if things don't improve for the German, then his stay in the Premier League could be a short one.

Wirtz's manager at Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso, has reportedly told Real Madrid chiefs to keep tabs on the playmaker's situation at Anfield with a view to potentially bringing him to the Bernabeu.

According to a report in the Daily Mirror, there is no suggestion at this stage that Liverpool are prepared to give up on Wirtz, whom they paid £116m for in the summer.

After nine Premier League appearances this season, Wirtz has failed to register a goal or an assist and found himself on the bench for the match against Chelsea at the weekend.

Man Utd in the race for Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Manchester United have reportedly joined the race for Marc-Andre ter Stegen, with several English clubs interested in signing the goalkeeper this summer.

The 33-year-old has suffered from injuries in recent seasons and is currently out with a back problem until November. However, according to Spanish publication, Sport, he has interest from Man Utd, Newcastle and Tottenham.

After a falling out with the club's hierarchy over his contract in the summer, ter Stegen could be open to a fresh start away from Catalonia, but Barcelona won't sanction a move unless he personally requests one.

United's reported interest in ter Stegen comes after summer signing, Senne Lammens, kept a clean sheet in an impressive debut for the club against Sunderland at the weekend.
