Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly taking an interest in any potential transfer activity at Inter Milan.

The three Premier League sides are prioritising outgoings during January after making several big-money additions during 2020.

However, according to football.london, the London trio are monitoring the situation at San Siro with Inter said to be enduring financial issues.

Calciomercato claims that the Italian giants are under pressure to raise funds over the coming weeks in a bid to pay player wages and other bills.

Inter have also missed out on receiving further funds from their participation in the Champions League after finishing bottom of their group.

Christian Eriksen, Milan Skriniar and Ivan Perisic are among the players who could be allowed to leave before the end of the month.

Liverpool are reportedly monitoring any developments regarding the future of Strasbourg defender Mohamed Simakan.

Despite having to deal with long-term injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, manager Jurgen Klopp has hinted that he will opt against adding a new centre-back to his squad in January.

However, according to Telefoot, the Merseyside giants are contemplating whether to make a bid for in-demand youngster Simakan.

The 20-year-old has already established himself as a key man at Strasbourg, making a total of 18 starts in Ligue 1 during the current campaign.

Chelsea have been linked with a future approach for the prospect, while AC Milan and RB Leipzig are said to be showing the strongest interest.

Simakan has two-and-a-half years remaining on his Strasbourg contract.
