After another miserable weekend for Arne Slot and Liverpool, the rumour mill is in overdrive on Merseyside with several players linked with moves to and away from the club as the Reds look to save their season.

In today's transfer roundup, we have news about the Reds' pursuit of a new right-back after Jermie Frimpong's injury-hit start to life at Anfield, while elsewhere in the Premier League, there are rumours linking Arsenal with a move for a Manchester United academy graduate.

For all the key information on those stories, and more, check out today's biggest headlines below.

Liverpool consider a move for Wilfried Singo

Liverpool are reportedly back in the market for a new right-back, with Wilfried Singo the latest name to be linked with a move to Anfield.

According to a report in German publication, BILD, Singo is well-liked by the Liverpool hierarchy, who are prepared to back Arne Slot once again in the January transfer window.

Singo made a name for himself at Monaco before being signed by Galatasaray last summer for £25m. It is understood that Liverpool would have to pay around double that to sign him this winter.

Considering the situation they find themselves in, though, and with Jeremie Frimpong sidelined with a hamstring injury, the Reds may have to pull the trigger.

Arsenal linked with shock Scott McTominay transfer

Arsenal are being linked with a shock move for Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay, who continues to be a hit in Serie A.

According to a report by Caught Offside, Mikel Arteta is a big admirer of the Scotland international and believes he would be the perfect understudy to Declan Rice at the Emirates Stadium.

While no move is imminent, the uncertainty around Antonio Conte's future in Naples could result in McTominay looking for a route back to the Premier League next summer.

The same report in Caught Offside also states that Manchester United are open to bringing the player back to Old Trafford as they look to bolster their midfield options.

Chelsea target Nottingham Forest's Murillo

Chelsea, one of the Premier League's biggest spenders in recent years, are reportedly eying a move for Nottingham Forest defender Murillo.

The Brazilian centre-back has impressed in the Forest backline since signing for the club back in 2023, and according to Caught Offside, Enzo Maresca is keen to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

While Nottingham Forest are unlikely to let the 23-year-old leave in the middle of the season, this is a transfer that could happen next summer, when he would only have two years to run on contract at the City Ground.

Chelsea aren't the only side interested in Murillo, either. The same report states that Arsenal and Barcelona are also keeping tabs on him ahead of next summer.
