 Bayern Munich is showing interest in Manchester City's out-of-favour Kalvin Phillips, and Newcastle may try to sign Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe in January. 

At the completion of the current campaign, Tomas Soucek of West Ham could sign a free transfer to Inter Milan, and Jack Wilshere, the head coach of Arsenal U18, has been granted permission to speak with Colorado Rapids of the Major League Soccer team about a managerial position.

Bayern Munich could offer Kalvin Phillips a "shock escape route" from Manchester City.

A report in the Sun states: "Bayern are understood to be closely monitoring his situation with a view to making a move either in the January window or in the summer.

"He is one of the names on the list of chief Thomas Tuchel - as he looks to strengthen his midfield. "The German giants raided City last winter and took Portuguese full-back Joao Cancelo on loan. "And a similar arrangement for Phillips, 27, could well appeal to all parties."

And a similar arrangement for Phillips, 27, could well appeal to all parties." Since moving from Leeds to City in the summer of 2022, Phillips has had difficulty getting into the starting lineup. Rodri's three-match suspension was supposed to provide the England international a chance to play in City's midfield, but in the Spaniard's absence, he has only played 115 minutes, Eurosport wrote.
