Chelsea have reportedly made contact with former Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, according to BBC Sport's transfer gossip column, as the Dutchman remains a free agent following his departure from Al-Ettifaq.
Elsewhere, Arsenal are said to be monitoring Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi, with the young forward understood to have caught the Gunners' attention amid their search for attacking reinforcements.
Meanwhile, Everton are reportedly playing down suggestions they could move for free-agent players as they look to bolster their squad through other means.
As always with transfer gossip, these reports should be treated as speculation rather than confirmed business, with BBC Sport stressing that nothing concrete has been agreed in any of the cases mentioned.
