Arsenal are said to have wrapped up a £33m January deal already, while Man Utd have been given a major boost in efforts to land a big-money target, according to European papers.
ARSENAL STRIKE DEAL FOR N’ZONZI
Arsenal have already agreed a deal to sign Steven N’Zonzi from Sevilla, according to reports in Spain.
El Gol Digital claims the two clubs have struck an agreement that will see the Gunners pay the La Liga side €37m (£32.7m), and €3m (£2.6m) in bonuses once the transfer window opens next month.
The former Blackburn and Stoke midfielder has fallen out of favour at the club following a row with the management after his substitution against Liverpool last month.
The player has already expressed a desire to leave Sevilla, telling France Football just last week: “My future is somewhere else. We just have to wait until December is over and everything will be done.
“I hope Sevilla qualify in the Champions League and have good luck in the future, but I will not be part of that adventure.
“What hurts is the way everything is going to end. It hurts, of course, but for now the team is functioning. There’s only a short time left, just December to pass, and it’s better that my time at Sevilla stops then.”
REAL OFFER SANCHEZ EXCHANGE
Real Madrid reportedly want to sign Alexis Sanchez in January because he can play in the Champions League.

They are believed to be ready to offer Arsenal Lucas Vazquez in order to complete a deal for Sanchez.
The 26-year-old right winger has scored three goals in 21 appearances for Los Blancos this season.
BALE EXIT EDGES CLOSER AS STAR TELLS AGENT HE WANTS MANCHESTER UNITED MOVE
Gareth Bale has held a meeting with his agent to inform him he wants to leave Real Madrid and sign for Manchester United next summer, according to reports in Spain.
Diario Gol claims Bale has made clear his intentions to move on from the European champions with Real willing to sell him for £88million next summer.
However, it’s claimed United are only willing to spend £53million to land Bale, who has endured a plethora of injuries during his time in La Liga.
The reports suggest Spurs are also keen to bring Bale back to North London but it’s claimed Welshman has told his agent that he wants to move to Old Trafford first and foremost.
Furthermore, it’s believed Bale and Real Madrid have agreed terms over his departure, with his contract still having four years left to run after this summer.
