El Mala, 19, is one of the most exciting talents coming through in the Bundesliga at the moment, with an impressive contribution of six goals and two assists so far this season despite not being a regular starter. It seems only a matter of time before the Germany Under-21 international is snapped up by a bigger club, and it seems that Liverpool and Chelsea will be teams to watch out for.

Arsenal are exploring the possibility of making a major summer move for Yan Diomande, with The Athletic reporting that the Arsenal hierarchy are closely monitoring the 19-year-old RB Leipzig winger ahead of a potential bid. Diomande, already regarded as one of the brightest emerging talents in European football, has attracted attention from several elite clubs, but any transfer appears unlikely before the summer, with RB Leipzig unwilling to sanction his exit in January.

After the bongs and fireworks, 2026 has finally begun. Naturally, no one really cares about resolutions, the real interest is in whether your team will sign a new left-back. Tittle-tattle is back in the limelight and the Rumour Mill will be firing up the very best and worst of it over the coming month. It seems like everyone in the Premier League needs to get the pen and chequebook out to solve their problems, making it an intriguing month ahead.

Arsenal and Chelsea are among the clubs keen on signing Marseille midfielder Darryl Bakola, according to Footmercato. Newcastle United, VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund are also monitoring the 18-year-old's development, following his impressive recent displays in France. Bakola may well leave Marseille next month if he turns down the club's contract extension offer. His current deal is set to expire in the summer of 2027.

FC Barcelona have their sights on three areas to strengthen in the summer of 2026 - a new centre-forward, a left-footed centre-back, and a left-winger. As per recent reports, one of the players who is on the Catalans' radar for the left flank happens to be RB Leipzig speedster Yan Diomande. The former Leganes wonderkid has caught the attention of Barça manager Hansi Flick and is a player that the club are monitoring.

As reported earlier this week, FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has requested three new signings for the summer of 2026. The German tactician wants the Catalans to bring in a new centre-forward, a new left-footed centre-back, as well as a winger before the start of the next season. Targets for each position have also been identified, with Bundesliga-based stars like Harry Kane, Serhou Guirassy, and Nico Schlotterbeck, among others, on the club's radars.
