  • Doak saga over

    The transfer chase for Liverpool whizkid Ben Doak is over - for now.

    The Scottish winger, 19, saw his sensational form at loan club Middlesbrough threatened when Liverpool rejected £15m bids from both Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town for the teen.

    A cut-off clause was inserted in the deal that took Doak to the Riverside to ensure that Boro could not be left short by Liverpool recalling the ex-Celtic ace late on in the window.

    And after Doak scored a stunner on Tuesday to help secure a 2-0 win over West Brom, Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick confirmed: “The deadline has passed for Ben.

    “I said all along I was calm! Obviously we’re really happy he’s here, but genuinely, it hasn’t been a big thing for us.”

  • United's striker shortlist

    Manchester United have drawn up a four-man striker shortlist, according to reports.

    But the Red Devils will need to flog at least one of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho or Kobbie Mainoo to fund a striker swoop this month.

    According to the Mail, Man Utd scouts have been tracking Prem trio Liam Delap, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.

    While Lille striker Jonathan David is also on their radar.

  • Murillo's new deal

    In case you missed it last night, Nottingham Forest star Murillo has committed his future to the City Ground.

    Brazilian defender Murillo has been exceptional for Nuno Espirito Santo's side this season and had been attracting a number of potential suitors.

    But Forest have managed to tie down the 22-year-old until 2029.

    Murillo said: " I’m very thankful and very happy that there are four more years to come. I’m thankful to everyone for the support – not just to me, but to my family as well.

    "Everywhere I go, every shop, wherever it is, they treat my family and I really well. So, I’m very grateful for everything they do for myself and for the team. I’m sure that we’ve got a big future in front of us."

  • Villa's Bade move stalls

    Aston Villa’s move for Sevilla defender Loic Bade is stalling because of a disagreement over the fee.

    Sevilla are believed to want £21m up front for the French centre back, plus £4m in achievable add-ons.

    But Villa are - for now at least - unwilling to meet the La Liga club’s demands.

    Reports in Spain say Sevilla regard Bade, 24, as their most bankable asset and are determined to hold out for the best possible deal.

    The club needs to pay off some of its huge debts but also wants to have enough cash left over from a Bade exit to secure a decent replacement.

    Liverpool and Newcastle have also shown interest in the centre half so Sevilla will try to stick to their guns.

  • United offered Osimhen 'discount'

    Manchester United have been offered a cut-price deal to sign Napoli star Victor Osimhen in the summer.

    That is as long as they agree to sell Alejandro Garnacho to the Partenopei for a more attainable price.

    According to Sky Sports, Garnacho has reached an agreement to join Napoli during the January transfer window.

    However, the Red Devils haven't given the green light on a transfer that would see manager Ruben Amorim losing one of his best players amid a turbulent campaign.

    According to Il Mattino, Napoli have tried to sweeten the deal by adding Osimhen into their bid.

    The Italian outfit have offered Man Utd a "discount" to sign the €75million (£63.4m)-rated striker, who is currently out on loan at Galatasaray, ahead of the summer transfer window.

    That is only if the Manchester giants do the same with Garnacho this month.

  • Elliot explains celebration

    Harvey Elliott has explained that his celebration during Liverpool's 2-1 win last night was to show that he is going nowhere.

    The 21-year-old has been linked with a move away from Anfield this month after struggling for game time.

    But he's made it crystal clear that he doesn't plan on packing his bags any time soon.

    I think it's pretty clear to be honest... I'm not leaving. I said it in an interview the other day, this is my team.

    This is my club. I'm a massive fan and we're in a great position this season.

    Arsenal need a striker and have been linked with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Dusan Vlahovic and Benjamin Sesko - but nothing appears closed.

    Asked if the owners will back him, Arteta replied: "First of all, it’s backing the club and themselves, you know, because we all want the best.

    "The decision that we make is not to back anybody, it’s just something that makes sense, that is going to improve the squad, that is going to give us the ability to perform to a level and to win the things that we want to do.

    "If that’s the case and we have the resources to do it, we will try."

  • Deco on Rashford deal

    Barcelona director Deco has admitted that a deal to bring Marcus Rashford to the club is not close.

    He did suggest there coudl be a chance once current player contract issues are dealt with.

    He said: "We are dealing with the issue of [financial] fair-play. 

    "In the final days, if the team can be strengthened, we will try, but as of today there is nothing.

    "The priority is the renewals of the important players in the squad, and then we could focus on one or two reinforcements, but it is not something that the coach has asked of us either."
