Newcastle are said to be keeping tabs on Atalanta’s Ederson as boss Eddie Howe scours the market for midfield reinforcements.
A loan move for Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips is proving tricky so chief scout Steve Nickson watched the Brazilian in action for Atalanta on Monday night.
But the Serie A side have told Toon they have no intention of selling the 24-year-old this month.
And with money tight at St James’ Park due to FFP restrictions, the Magpies may look at resurrecting a deal in the summer if they can’t bring the Italians to the negotiating table in January.
Ederson played for Cruzeiro and Corinthians in Brazil before moving to Italy in 2022, scoring 7 goals in 64 games for Atalanta.
Thomas Frank reckons Sergio Reguilon’s loan switch to Brentford will be great news for both parties.
The Spaniard, 27, was initially hesitant about heading to West London, having hoped for a more high-profile switch having previously played for Real Madrid and Manchester United.
But he was eventually convinced to go to the Bees, where he should play regularly given left-back Rico Henry is out long-term.
Reguilon completed a loan switch to the Gtech until the end of the season - though there is no buy option in the deal.
Bees chief Frank said: “We need him, but I also think he needs us to show how good a footballer he is. I’m convinced that this will be a positive partnership”.
Millwall are set to loan Spurs defender Japhet Tanganga.
The versatile centre-back, 24, could even be training with Lions squad as soon as tomorrow with a deal likely to be wrapped up quickly.
It is not expected to include an option or obligation to buy for the 24year-old, who spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Augsburg but did not make a single appearance due to injury.
West Ham are expecting a second bid from Marseille for Said Benrahma.
The Hammers rejected a first offer - a loan with a view to making the move permanent in the summer - on Tuesday, hours before the winger was sent off against Bristol City.
Benrahma's three match ban for kicking out at Joe Williams means he will not play again during the January window - meaning any consideration over injury cover this month has now been disregarded.
The terms offered by the Ligue 1 side were not good enough for West Ham to sell, but the club are still open to letting the former Brentford winger leave.
West Ham are hoping to get more than £20million for Benrahma and need guaranteed funds in order to find a replacement this month.
Spurs want between £6million and £7m for Bryan Gil this transfer window according to Estadio Deportivo.
But it is believed that Gil wants to stay and fight for his place under Ange Postecoglou.
The winger spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla and it is understood that should he leave again this window, he wants to join a long term project rather than a short-term fix.
Ivan Toney has refused to rule out leaving Brentford this month.
Arsenal and Chelsea are both interested in snapping up the Bees striker – who is valued between £80m and £100m.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank recently insisted he is “99 per cent confident” that his star man will NOT be sold during the January window.
But Toney has now admitted: “You can never predict when is the right time to move elsewhere, but I think it’s obvious I want to play for a top club.
“Everybody wants to play for a top club that is fighting for titles. Whether it’s this January that is the right time for a club to come in and pay the right money, who knows?
“But my main focus is to do what I do on the pitch, and let the background work take care of itself.”
Brentford star Ivan Toney hinted he could move in the January transfer window amid interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham as he wants to play for a “top club competing for trophies”.

Napoli star Victor Osimhen has confirmed that he will “definitely” play in the Premier League – but he has “other plans” for now.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea chased his signature during the summer.
A move failed to materialise, but the Premier League duo and rivals Arsenal were then put on red alert after a controversial TikTok post left Osimhen contemplating SUING his employers in September 2023.
It then emerged that Chelsea were leading the race to try and sign him during the January transfer window.
Facing the media at Afcon, Osimhen was asked about moving to the Prem, to which he replied: “Of course one day, definitely, but for now I have other plans in my career I am looking forward to.
