Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Austrian centre-back David Affengruber, who has impressed this season with his performances for Elche in La Liga. However, while reports linking the 24-year-old to Old Trafford continue to circulate, sources inside the club insist that midfield reinforcements remain the club's main focus heading into the January transfer window, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside. Affengruber has been one of the standout defenders in Spain this season.

Arsenal are interested in signing the highly rated Spanish midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza. The 20-year-old midfielder has done quite well for Elche, and his performances have attracted the attention of the North London club, as per Fichajes. Arsenal are looking to add more creativity and control in the middle of the park, and they believe that Rodrigo could develop into an important player for them.

"His arrival in La Liga has been very positive. I identify with his courage and his willingness to propose different things. Last season was a great season, and this year they haven't quite reached that level yet," he said. "He's a fantastic professional, and we remember the eight goals he scored against us with Bayern. He's a coach who creates a great atmosphere and keeps the players fresh and energetic. It will be an honour for me to greet him and spend time with him."

Elche is in a strong position at the top of the Segunda, boasting a three-point lead and aiming for a La Liga return next season.
