Manchester United and Arsenal are both keeping tabs on Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins as the Premier League heavyweights assess their attacking options.

As reported by The Sun, both clubs could look to move for the England international this summer, after the Gunners had already shown interest in him back in January 2025.

Gabriel Jesus and Joshua Zirkzee could both move on from their respective clubs, which would open up room for a new centre-forward to come in.

Another player who may leave the Gunners this summer is Fabio Vieira.

Hamburg are interested in signing the Portugal midfielder, who spent last season on loan with the German club, according to Florian Plettenberg, who says talks are still going on.

In the meantime, Real Madrid are working on a deal to bring in Manchester City midfielder Rodri, according to The Athletic.

His City contract runs until next summer, which means the club will have a big call to make on his future if he does not agree to a fresh deal.

Real Madrid are also among the clubs interested in PSG, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City target Yan Diomande.

The 19-year-old was said to prefer a move to PSG, but BILD report that no official bid has yet been made for the winger.

Sky Germany report that Real Madrid have already had an £85m offer for Diomande turned down.

And Manchester City have Pedro Neto on their list of attacking targets, according to the Daily Mail.
