The Reds keep hold of Mohamed Salah but their left flank could still be weakened by Saudi Arabia, while the blue side of Merseyside might see the arrival of a sensational young forward. Read on for our round-up of some of the juiciest transfer gossip this Monday.

Diaz on Saudi's radar

The Saudi Pro League have failed to lure Mo Salah to the Gulf Kingdom, but they remain ambitious and plan to add Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr to their league.

However, according to Talksport, Al-Nassr's failure to secure the services of Vinicius could lead to them making a move for Liverpool left-winger Luis Diaz, who is yet to find an agreement over a new contract at Anfield. Whispers Rating: 3/5

Everton keen on Delap

With just one Premier League win in their last five, the Tractor Boys are moving towards the Championship at full speed but their in-form striker is set to remain in England's top-flight. Liam Delap, who boasts 12 goals in 31 league appearances, has emerged on the radar of England's top clubs.

The Sun says Everton are the latest club to join the race to sign the England U21 striker. The Merseyside outfit can sign Delap for £30million due to a relegation escape clause. Having said that, convincing the 22-year-old to join their project over other clubs is going to be an uphill challenge. Whispers Rating: 2/5

Onana available for peanuts

Saudi clubs would have to pay premium figures to acquire high-profile talents like Vinicius and Diaz. However, one of their targets has been made available for a relatively bargain fee.

According to The Mirror, Onana, who has come under fire for his horror shows for Manchester United, is expected to “generate further interest” from the Gulf Kingdom and could raise £20m for the Red Devils. Whispers Rating: 3.5/5

Newcastle eyeing Ligue 1 shot-stopper

Nick Pope enjoyed a promising encounter against United over the weekend but the Magpies' goalkeeping department has been a cause of concern over the last 12 months and the club's hierarchy are set to reinforce the area.

Football Insider claims Newcastle have sent scouts to monitor Angers number one Yahia Fofana, who has impressed with his “strong displays” in Ligue 1. The Ivory Coast international is valued at less than £5million by Transfermarkt. Whispers Rating: 3/5

Man Utd want Rogers

United's defensive frailties were well exploited by Newcastle at St James' Park. However, their attack was equally underwhelming and did little to test the home side's backline. Ruben Amorim certainly needs more creative players in his ranks and Ineos are supposedly looking to hand him a Premier League gem.

According to Fichajes, whose reports should generally be taken with a pinch of salt, United are set to make a bid for Aston Villa number 10 Morgan Rogers. It is claimed the Mancunians see the England attacking midfielder as a difference maker. Whispers Rating: 1.5/5
