Valencia are considering a summer swoop for out-of-favour Arsenal forward Theo Walcott.
That is according to Spanish outlet El Gol Digital, who say the Spanish high fliers are interested in luring the England flier to La Liga.
Valencia sit second after 15 games, but any approach for Walcott is reportedly likely to come next summer.
Walcott is yet to start in the Premier League this season, being used only sparingly by Arsene Wenger despite scoring over 100 goals for the club.
The former Southampton player has 18 months remaining on his current contract at the Emirates.
Wilshere in the dark
Jack Wilshere is still in the dark over whether he has an Arsenal future.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had promised to get the situation sorted to end the uncertainty over Wilshere whose contract expires at the end of the season.
But Wilshere revealed Wenger has yet to begin talks over a new deal with clubs - including West Ham - interested in signing him in January.
Wilshere, 25, said: “There’s not really a date in the diary. I’ve only read what he's said in the media. I’ve just played my first game in the Premier League, I’m concentrating on staying fit and staying in this team.
“That will look after itself. When it’s the right time to talk about it, I’m sure the boss will call me and we’ll have a chat.”
United plotting Ozil swoop
Jose Mourinho is ready to offload Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the summer — to pave the way for the signing of Mesut Ozil as his replacement.
Manchester United boss Mourinho is targeting Arsenal midfielder Ozil, who is out of contract at the end of the season, but knows he has to trim his squad before he can bring in a player on the sort of mega-contract the German will command as a free agent.
Mourinho has already been publicly critical of Mkhitaryan, accusing him of “disappearing” in games, and admitted this week that he no longer has space for the Armenia international even on his subs' bench.
That could be the final straw for a player who joined United from Borussia Dortmund for £30m in summer 2016.
The Old Trafford giants would be confident of getting their money back, despite the 28-year-old's patchy form.
