Crystal Palace are reportedly ready to lock horns with Manchester United and Liverpool for the signature of Schalke 04 centre-back Ozan Kabak.
The 20-year-old, who is said to be valued at £25m, has established himself as first-choice defender at the Veltins-Arena but has been unable to prevent club’s slump to the bottom of the league table this term.
Tottenham Hotspur are mulling over a summer move for Schalke goalkeeper Alexander Nubel, according to talkSPORT.
Spurs are lining up a potential offer to sign the 23-year-old as a potential long-term replacement for the club captain Hugo Lloris.
The report adds that Nubel has less than 12 months remaining on his current contract with the German outfit to leave his future in doubt.
Liverpool and Arsenal are closely monitoring the rise of Wolves youngster Owen Otasowie at Molineaux, according to The Sun.
But they face tough competition from the Europe for the 18-year-old defender, with Paris Saint-Germain and Schalke also interested in the teenager.
The centre-back caught the eye of PSG after playing against them in a 1-1 draw in the Premier League International Cup for Wolves’ Under-23s.
Schalke 04 centre-back Thilo Kehrer is reportedly on the verge of completing a move to French champions Paris Saint-Germain, according to German newspaper Bild.
The club’s sporting director Christian Heidel has confirmed that Schalke were desperate to keep hold of the 21-year-old defender, but could not reject a proposal which is believed to be worth somewhere in the region of £33m to the Bundesliga outfit.
The Premier League giants Arsenal have reportedly stepped up their interest in the race to sign Leon Goretzka from Schalke 04.
The Germany international is understood to be on Arsene Wenger’s wishlist, but has also attracted interest from Elite clubs including both Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
