Athletic Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte is expected to be on the move in January after sacking his agent.
The Daily Express says Arsenal and Manchester United have shown an interest due to a number of injuries in their respective defences, while Chelsea are long-term targets.
Spanish sources say the sought-after 20-year-old has sacked agent Arturo Canales just a month after taking him on.
Laporte, who has a £32m release-clause in his contract, is understood to be unhappy at the amount of recent transfer rumours and just wants to concentrate on helping Bilbao climb up the La Liga table.
