Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in the Premier League on Tuesday, February 9.

Tuesday morning's Premier League transfer talk news roundup:

Chelsea 'tell Bayern Munich's David Alaba to lower his wage demands'

Bayern Munich defender David Alaba will reportedly have to lower his wage demands if he wants to move to Chelsea.

The versatile Austrian is set to leave Bayern as a free agent in the summer after failing to agree a new contract, and Chelsea are thought to be one of the favourites for his signature.

However, The Telegraph reports that Alaba's mammoth wage demands could scupper a deal, as the 28-year-old would expect a salary of just under £400k per week in the English capital.

With the club understood to be hopeful of keeping Thiago Silva on the books for another season, the report claims that Alaba must request a lower salary if he is to complete a move to Thomas Tuchel's side.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are also said to be in the running for Alaba's signature, but the Bayern man may struggle to find a club willing to meet his £400k-a-week demands amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Alaba has remained a key player for Bayern despite his contract situation, and he has found the back of the net twice from 26 appearances across all competitions this term.

Arsenal to move for new left-back this summer?

Arsenal will reportedly target an up-and-coming left-back in the summer transfer window.

The Gunners' only recognised player in that position - Kieran Tierney - has been out with a calf problem recently, and Mikel Arteta's side have suffered without their first-choice left-back.

Cedric Soares, a right-back by trade, has been forced to deputise on the opposite side of defence in Tierney's absence, and the club allowed Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles to leave on loan during the January transfer window.

According to The Athletic, Arsenal are aware that they need to bolster their options at left-back, and they are committed to bringing in a new player in that position before the 2021-22 campaign gets underway.

The report adds that any signing would not displace Tierney as first-choice, so the club are hoping to welcome a highly-rated youngster to North London rather than an established defender who would command regular starts.

Cedric has put in a number of solid displays at left-back but was at fault for Ollie Watkins's winner against Aston Villa on Saturday, although Arsenal supposedly do not expect Tierney to be out for much longer.
