Borussia Dortmund could be prepared to sell Ilkay Gundogan to Manchester United during January - rather than risk losing him for free next summer.
Gundogan's contract is set to expire in July and with Dortmund struggling at the bottom of the Bundesliga, they risk losing a host of stars including Gundogan and Marco Reus for nothing. The club could be willing to sell the 24-year-old for around £16million, report the Daily Express.

The Daily Star report that United and Arsenal will fight over Ayoze Perez, who has been a bright spot for Newcastle in his brief spell at St James' Park.
