With domestic action across Europe on hold for the next three weeks, transfer talk is beginning to resurface as several Premier League clubs and reporters look ahead to the winter.

The January transfer window still might feel distant, but early planning often separates contenders from the rest.

So with that in mind, Football Whispers takes a look at the biggest headlines dominating today's backpages.

Spurs set sights on Morgan Gibbs-White move

Tottenham Hotspur have renewed their interest in Nottingham Forest playmaker Morgan Gibbs‑White, revisiting a potential £125m move after failing with an approach last year.

The 26‑year‑old has become one of the Premier League’s standout creators, and Spurs remain admirers despite previous tension with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis over alleged improper contact, per emerging reports.

Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi is under pressure following a difficult start, and the north Londoners are expected to explore midfield reinforcements if results do not improve.

Forest are in a strong position, however, with Gibbs‑White tied down until 2029 and valued significantly higher than the £26m fee paid to sign him from Wolves.

Liverpool hold Lamine Camara talks

Liverpool are pushing to position themselves ahead of Premier League rivals in the race for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara, with Andoni Iraola keen to add more control to his midfield.

The 22‑year‑old has become one of Ligue 1’s most influential ball‑winners, attracting interest from Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea after a standout year in France.

Reports now indicate Liverpool have already held early discussions with Camara’s representatives while conducting background checks on his suitability and financial expectations.

Monaco are expected to demand around £60m for the Senegal international, whose aborted move to Stamford Bridge in the summer has only intensified Premier League interest.

Arsenal interested in signing Maximilian Beier

Arsenal scouts have been closely monitoring Borussia Dortmund forward Maximilian Beier as the club continues to assess long‑term attacking options ahead of future windows.

The 23‑year‑old has impressed since joining Dortmund from Hoffenheim, contributing 20 goals and 14 assists while showcasing the versatility Mikel Arteta values in his forward line.

Beier’s movement and Raumdeuter‑style intelligence have drawn comparisons to current Gunners star Kai Havertz, according to reports, with Arsenal’s scouting presence around Dortmund strengthened by Ethan Nwaneri’s loan spell.

Dortmund consider Beier an important player, but interest from Arsenal, Manchester United and Spurs means his situation could develop if a formal approach is made.
