Arsenal could take advantage of AC Milan's money worries by luring Andre Silva to north London next year.

The Sun claim Milan pipped Arsenal to the Portugal international over the summer, completing a club record £33m deal for the striker.

The Italian outfit spent big during the last transfer window but have made a poor start of the new season.

Several sponsors have already pulled the plug on their deals with Milan and they could be forced to sell their top stars if they miss out on the Champions League.

The Gunners, who look set to lose Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, are still keen on Silva and could launch a move for him in the New Year.

Gareth Bale wants to stay at Real Madrid at the end of the season despite the ongoing interest from Manchester United.

That’s according to Guillem Balague who claims he’s be told by Bale’s camp that the Welshman is not looking to leave Spain.

United are long-term admirers of the 28-year-old and are being heavily linked with a mega-money move for him next summer.

But Balague told Sky Sports: “The message from his people is he is here to say and has no intention of leaving.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte wants to replace Michy Batshuayi in January as he seeks a better backup striker to Alvaro Morata.

Batshuayi was poor in Chelsea’s shock 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace over the weekend, being hauled off in the 57th minute.

As The Telegraph report, Conte slammed his side after their performance at Selhurst Park and he is quickly losing patience with Batshuayi.

And it is said the Italian wants a new forward in the winter transfer market with Christian Benteke and Jamie Vardy among potential targets.
