Transfer news round-up: Arsenal target PSG star Christopher Nkunku with Barcelona linked to Manchester City's Bernando Silva

Unai Emery could return to his former club for summer reinforcements, while Matthijs De Ligt looks set for a big move

The transfer window is fast approaching and despite their status in next season's Champions League yet to be decided, Arsenal appear to have unearthed a prime target.

Unai Emery is looking to raid his former club Paris Saint-Germain with Christopher Nkunku high on his summer shopping list, the Evening Standard says.

The Gunners have been quoted £17.2 million for the 21-year-old who has contributed four goals and two assists this season.

While Manchester City have backed away from previous interest in Leicester and England defender Ben Chilwell, with the 22-year-old linked with the champions to solve a long-standing problem at left-back.

Brendan Rodgers has vowed to keep the 22-year-old, but the Manchester Evening News report Pep Guardiola is happy with his current options in the position of Benjamin Mendy and Oleksandr Zinchenko, meaning Chilwell will likely remain at the King Power.

Tottenham have emerged as favourites to land Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon following the Cottagers' relegation, the Evening Standard says. Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Borrusia Dortmund are also keen, the paper adds.

Barcelona are looking to sign Manchester City's Bernando Silva in the summer, but the 24-year-old says he is happy to stay at the Etihad, the Manchester Evening News says.

Garry Monk may switch St Andrews for the Hawthorns, as the Birmingham manager has emerged as a leading contender to take the hot seat at West Brom, according to the Daily Mail.
