Aston Villa are reportedly plotting a move to bring Real Madrid forward Endrick to the Premier League on loan, according to BBC News' Wednesday gossip column.
The Brazilian striker, who has struggled for regular minutes at the Bernabeu, is said to be a target as Villa look to bolster their attacking options.
Elsewhere, Bournemouth are understood to be working hard to fend off interest in midfielder Alex Scott, with the Cherries keen to keep hold of the young talent amid links from elsewhere.
The report also claims a host of top European clubs are monitoring Lyon playmaker Rayan Cherki, whose performances have reportedly caught the eye of several sides looking to strengthen their creative options.
As ever with transfer gossip at this stage of the window, none of the stories are confirmed deals — BBC News stresses these remain reported interests and speculation rather than done business, with further developments likely as the rumour mill continues to churn.
