Rumour Reel: Man City jump for Jesus while Arsene eyes Blind

Nevertheless, he remains one of the hottest young prospects in Europe. The versatile midfielder can play a number of roles, and would walk straight into a starting berth at Anfield. Kovacic is a superb all-round player and could be the linchpin on which Jurgen Klopp’s side operate – he would provide creativity and drive from midfield.

Arsene eyes Blind

Arsenal are reportedly motoring Daley Blind’s predicament at Man united. The Dutch utility man is still unsure where his future lies with Jose Mourinho, as he doesn’t exactly fit the profile of the manager’s usual defenders.

Ball-playing Blind has formed a formidable partnership with Chris Smalling since his arrival from Ajax in the summer of 2014, and has caught the eye of Arsene Wenger.

The Arsenal boss is looking to fill some of the defensive cracks that opened up during their recent campaign, and reportedly sees Blind as the man to arrive and solidify the defence.

Speaking on his future, Blind said: “We will have to wait and see whether anything changes for me. I might not be as big as Pepe, but I think I have shown in the Premier League that I can hold my own defensively. We conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League and I think we got the most clean sheets.”

Blind would certainly fit into Arsenal’s slick passing style of play, and could help Arsene push the Emirates outfit one place higher than their second paced finish this term.
