Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd dealt Tel blow with forward set for Deadline Day move, Arsenal ‘STILL in for Watkins’

  • Garnacho staying at United

    Man United have decided NOT to sell Alejandro Garnacho amid links with Chelsea and Napoli.

    The Argentinian winger was thought to be up for sale this month.

    Chelsea and Napoli were both in talks over a deal that could reach over £60million.

    But following Marcus Rashford's Aston Villa loan, Garnacho will remain at Old Trafford tonight.

  • Exclusive by SunSport’s Jack Rosser

    Sunderland have launched a bid for Southampton striker Adam Armstrong.

    The Championship promotion chasers have lodged a loan bid with Saints for the boyhood Newcastle fan.

    There is a lot of Championship interest in the striker, who has struggled for minutes under Ivan Juric and has just two Premier League goals this season.

    Southampton do not want to lose the forward on the cheap and he is thought to be reluctant to join Sunderland.

  • Napoli beat Spurs to striker

    Napoli have reportedly won the race for AC Milan striker Noah Okafor.

    The Swiss star was a target for Tottenham, who are now set to sign Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel instead.

    It means Napoli are unlikely to follow up interest in Man Utd’s Alejandro Garnacho, who remains in Chelsea’s sights.

    While their move for ex-Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin may also be in doubt, leaving the Frenchman stranded at Fenerbahce.

  • Luiz to stay in Italy

    Douglas Luiz is unlikely to return to England today.

    The former Aston Villa man was being lined up by both Man City and Chelsea after struggling at new club Juventus.

    But City are set to sign Nico Gonzalez from Porto, while Chelsea are set to have a quiet end to the window.

    And it means Luiz is set to stay in Serie A until at least the summer.

  • United suffer fresh blow

    Man United could be in the market for late defensive reinforcements.

    That’s after Lisandro Martinez was potentially ruled out for the rest of the season with a cruciate ligament injury.

    The ace was stretchered off clutching his knee during yesterday’s 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.

    And it could force United into moving for a short-term centre-back before tonight’s deadline.

  • Chelsea ‘blocked’ Felix’s Villa move

    Chelsea reportedly refused to allow Joao Felix to join Aston Villa.

    Fabrizio Romano claims the Blues did not want to strengthen a direct rival in the league.

    It means Felix is now set to join AC Milan on loan.

    Chelsea also took the same stance when Villa bid for Axel Disasi, with the Frenchman still a target for Tottenham.

  • Malacia set for Dutch return

    Tyrell Malacia is heading back to Holland with PSV Eindhoven.

    The Dutch champs are close to wrapping up a loan deal for Man United’s misfit left-back.

    Malacia came close to joining Benfica last week before a move collapsed.

    But PSV have come to his rescue after United signed a replacement in Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu.

  • Everton line up forward

    Everton are reportedly hopeful of landing a new striker today.

    And it’s reckoned they are targeting Nottingham Forest ace Taiwo Awoniyi.

    The ace has played second-fiddle to Chris Wood this season.

    But Forest may be reluctant to let him go in case their Kiwi star suffers an injury.

  • Kelly's Juventus move 'in doubt'

    Lloyd Kelly's Juventus move from Newcastle in doubt.

    The centre-back has agreed a loan move to Italy, with the option to make his deal permanent in the summer.

    However, Kelly is regarded as a non-EU player and needs a work permit.

    And Di Marzio claims Juve are in a race against time to sort his paperwork, which could potentially see the move collapse later tonight.

  • Disasi to Spurs back on?

    A deal to bring Axel Disasi to Tottenham on loan from Chelsea could well be back on!

    Earlier in the day, that ship appeared to have sailed given the French defender was holding out for a move to Aston Villa.

    But a temporary move from the west of the capital to the North is now a possibility before 11pm.

  • Tel to Spurs latest

    Tottenham are still in discussions over the terms of Mathys Tel's loan switch from Bayern Munich.

    German sources seem clear that it will be just a straight loan.

    But sources close to Spurs have told SunSport that talks are ongoing over the structure of the deal.

    Tel, 19, is in London looking to tie up his shock late switch.

  • Wolves skipper set to depart

    Wolves have agreed an escape-route for former skipper Mario Lemina who is on his way to Turkish giants Galatasaray.

    The Molineux club have agreed a fee of just under £3million for the 31-year-old Gabon international.

    Lemina has not played since telling Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira he wanted to quit the club at the start of January.

    The midfielder, whose contract was set to expire this summer, has since apologised and made himself available for selection until his future was resolved.

    Now, both parties appear to have settled their differences, paving the way for Lemina to join Galatasaray

  • Blues land new midfielder

    Chelsea have reportedly agreed to sign St-Étienne midfielder Mathis Amougou.

    However, the Telegraph claim he will go straight out on loan.

    When his move to Chelsea is completes, the teenager is expected to be loaned back out immediately to RC Strasbourg, according to L'Equipe.

    Strasbourg is also under Todd Boehly's BlueCo ownership so the club has a close relationship with Chelsea.

  • Breaking - Coady/Dawson swap collapses

    Talks over a potential swap deal between Wolves' Craig Dawson and Leicester City's Conor Coady have collapsed, reports our man Graeme Bryce.

    The double-deal was always regarded as a long shot and have not progressed to the satisfaction of all four parties.

    It means there will be no fairytale return to Molineux for former Wolves skipper Conor Coady.

    While Dawson is likely to remain sidelined by Vitor Pereira at Molineux.

  • Arsenal still keen on Watkins

    Arsenal have not given up hope of signing Ollie Watkins today.

    The Independent claims Aston Villa’s star striker remains on Arsenal’s list.

    That’s despite the Gunners having a bid rejected for Watkins last week.

    Villa have no intention of selling after parting ways with Jhon Duran and want Watkins to stay at Villa Park.

  • From SunSport’s Gary Stonehouse

    Middlesbrough have confirmed Samuel Iling-Junior has signed on loan from Aston Villa until the end of the season.

    The winger, 21, spent the first half of the campaign with Serie A side Bologna and featured in the Champions league for the Italians.

    The England youth international signed for Villa from Juventus last summer after four years at the Italian giants.

    Boro also hope to add former Man City and Leicester star Kelechi Iheanacho to their ranks.

  • Wolves hunt Dynamo ace

    Wolves are reportedly targeting a deadline day move for Dynamo Kyiv star Volodymyr Brazkho.

    The midfielder has enjoyed a fine season for his club.

    And Fabrizio Romano claims a bid worth over £16million could be submitted shortly.

    Wolves are also thought to be in talks for Stade de Reims’ Marshall Munetsi and Red Star Belgrade’s Nasser Djiga.

  • City strike Gonzalez deal

    Man City have agreed a £50million deal to sign Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez.

    The Barcelona academy product will become City's fourth major signing of the window.

    Gonzalez had already agreed personal terms with the champs before Porto accepted a £50m bid.

    He plays in the No6 role currently vacated by the injured Rodri, but is also capable of featuring in a more advanced role.

  • Arsenal urged to sign Vlahovic

    Philippe Senderos has told former club Arsenal to pull out all the stops for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.

    He told CasinoHawks: "Dusan Vlahovic could take Arsenal closer to the title, but Mikel Arteta has a clear idea of how he wants to play and who he wants in that nine position.

    "We’ve seen Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz there, but Vlahovic is a fantastic player who has performed in the Italian league and been a success.

    "It’s difficult to judge him this season, but he could certainly have a big impact in the Premier League, why not."

  • Gerrard wanted up north

    Steven Gerrard could be set for an immediate return to management with Carlisle United.

    The Liverpool legend is available for work after leaving Saudi side Al Ettifaq.

    Carlisle are bottom of League Two and in need of a new boss after sacking Mike Williamson.

    The Mail claims they are now targeting an ambitious move for Gerrard but it remains to be seen whether he would be interested.

  • Milan agree Felix deal

    AC Milan have reportedly agreed a deal with Chelsea to sign Joao Felix on loan.

    L'Equipe claims the Italian side have struck terms with the Blues after holding talks over the weekend.

    Felix only joined Chelsea last summer from Atletico Madrid but has found game time hard to come by under Enzo Maresca.

    He had already been left out of tonight's match squad to face West Ham and now looks set to complete his switch to the San Siro.

  • United should sign Mateta

    Paul Merson has claimed that Manchester United should sign Jean-Philippe Mateta.

    He told Sky Sports: "Man Utd should get Mateta, that's what they need.

    "He's a strong lad up front, playing at the top of his game, he leads the line, scoring goals now. He runs and works his socks off harder than anyone you know.

    "But they won't because he plays for Palace. And everyone would go: what are you buying him for?

    "But he's 100 times better than anyone Man Utd have in the front line. Not Amad, he's a young kid - but he's much better than Hojlund and Zirkzee at the moment.

    "And Man Utd are playing Mainoo up front. If you're one of those two centre forwards, I would say: I might as well go out on loan and play for Exeter this month."

  • Hornets land Blue

    Watford have signed Chelsea left-back Caleb Wiley on loan.

    The defender will stay at Vicarage Road until the end of the season.

    He spent the first half the campaign on loan at RC Strasbourg in Ligue 1.

  • Felix loan offer

    A loan offer from AC Milan has gone into Chelsea for João Felix.

    The Portuguese forward has struggled for Premier League game time after signing permanently last summer.

    It's his second spell at Chelsea having previously been on loan.
