Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly all keeping tabs on Marcus Rashford, according to Wednesday's BBC News gossip column, as the trio of London clubs weigh up moves for the England forward.

Rashford, who has struggled to nail down consistent game time at Manchester United in recent seasons, is said to be attracting genuine interest from three of the Premier League's traditional heavyweights, though the report stops short of suggesting any concrete negotiations are underway.

Elsewhere, Arsenal are understood to have identified Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa as a potential target, with the Gunners keeping an eye on the centre-back's situation at Villa Park as they continue to assess options to strengthen their backline.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest look poised to bring in fresh defensive reinforcements, according to the same BBC report, with a new central defender reportedly close to arriving at the City Ground.

As ever with transfer gossip, none of these links have been confirmed by the clubs involved, and BBC Sport stresses the usual caveats around speculation of this nature.
