TOP STORY: Bayern Munich go after Kramaric
Bayern Munich have enquired about the availability of Hoffenheim striker Andrej Kramaric, Sport Bild reports.

Chelsea‘s Rudiger in the dark
Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has been left in the dark regarding his future at Stamford Bridge, Sky Sports reports.
The Germany international has yet to feature for the Blues so far this season in the Premier League and with the European Championships coming up next summer, he wants to ensure he’s playing regular first-team football.
With so many incomings and outgoings already at the club, many still expect manager Frank Lampard to make a few changes before the window officially shuts.
West Ham make Milenkovic bid
The Daily Mail is reporting that West Ham United have made a bid for Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic.
The Hammers are said to be stepping up their push to sign at least one defender before the transfer window comes to a close. The club has had offers for Wesley Fofana — who is joining Leicester City — and James Tarkowski rejected.
While they have enjoyed a few strong performances lately, many fans still believe they need to strengthen, so they’ve tabled an offer in the region of £20 million with the Serbian being viewed as a versatile player who can also play at full-back.
Tap-ins
– Paris Saint-Germain are leading the race to sign Chelsea’s Tiemoue Bakayoko, Goal reports. The two parties are in discussions ahead of a possible loan deal as PSG sporting director Leonardo and Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia are leading the charge, although the Premier League outfit would still prefer something more permanent.
– Fenerbahce are set to battle Aston Villa in the pursuit of Norwich City star Emi Buendia, TRT Sport reports. Buendia was able to make a notable impact during the Canaries’ season back in the top-flight last campaign, and even though Villa and Leeds United have offered him the chance to get back there, Fenerbahce may have skipped to the front of the queue.
