  • Cunha blow

    Matheus Cunha has committed his future to Wolves.

    The Brazilian was a target for Arsenal and Man Utd before Monday's transfer deadline day.

    However, the club have revealed he has penned a new deal that will tie him to the club till 2029.

  • Danso hijack

    Kevin Danso was booked in for a medical at Wolves.

    However. at the eleventh hours - Spurs have swooped with a late bid, according to reports.

    The Austrian international has now turned down the Midlands club.

    He is believed to have agreed terms with Tottenham, say The Athletic in a £21million deal.

  • Shock Bailey move

    Leon Bailey could be on the move before transfer deadline day.

    The Aston Villa forward is wanted by Manchester United, according to reports.

    Any deal is separate to Marcus Rashford's proposed move to the Midlands club.

  • Why Rashford chose Villa

    MANCHESTER UNITED wantaway star Marcus Rashford is close to finalising a loan move to Aston Villa.

    United boss Ruben Amorim has frozen Rashford out of his squad and suggested he is so unhappy with the way the player trains that he'd rather pick 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital than him.

    Here's three reasons why:

  • Rashford future

    MANCHESTER UNITED wantaway star Marcus Rashford has been told he will never play at Old Trafford while Ruben Amorim is manager.

    Rashford, 27, hasn't played for United since December 12 with Amorim leaving him out of the squad for every game since apart from one, in which he was an unused substitute.

    The forward admitted last month he is "ready for a new challenge" and the Portuguese tactician suggested he is so unhappy with the way the player trains he'd rather pick 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital than him.

    And now the England international is on the brink of completing a loan move to Aston Villa.

    Read the full story below.

  • Rashford deal

    MARCUS RASHFORD is set to sign a loan deal with Aston Villa.

    That is despite the Manchester United striker having privately vowed never to play for another Premier League club.

    Rashford, 27,  is due for a medical today after agreeing terms which will see him continue to earn £325,000-a-week as United will cover 25 per cent of his wages.  

    Villa also have the option to buy the England striker at the end of the season for around £40million.

  • Malacia deal 'collapses'

    According to reports, Tyrell Malacia's move to Benfica has fallen through.

    The Man Utd defender seemed destined to move to Benfica.

    However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed the Red Devils were unable to agree on a loan fee, as well as a future buy option.

  • Nypan latest

    Arsenal remain favourites to land Norwegian wonderkid, Sverre Nypan.

    Matheus Cunha is set to stay at Wolves.

    The Mail claim he is ready to pen a new deal with the club.

    "At the end of the season we will see, but he is very committed to help the team."

  • Juve chase Prem star

    Juventus are still chasing a Premier League star.

    The Newcastle player has struggled for game time in the top flight this season.

    According to Relevo, despite being rebuffed earlier in the window the Turin giants aren't giving up on the centre back.

  • Morata move

    Former Chelsea star Alvaro Morata is set to move.

    The Spain striker has struggled for minutes at AC Milan.

    Now, he's set to go to Turkey - with Galatasaray striking a deal with the Italians.

  • Tel to stay

    Mathys Tel won't be leaving Bayern Munich any time soon.

    That's according to Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund, via Sky Sports Germany.

    "The current tendency is for Mathys Tel to stay,” he said as quoted by journalist Felix Fischer.

    "We are not in concrete negotiations with any club. If anything else happens, we will speak to him."

  • Malacia move

    Tyrell Malacia looks likely to leave Man Utd in this window.

    The full-back has struggled with injuries during his time at Old Trafford.

    Benfica are willing to offer him a loan move.

    The Athletic reports that talks have taken place between the two clubs.

  • Chelsea starlet approached

    Carney Chukwuemeka is subject to a bid from a Bundesliga giant.

    The Chelsea midfielder is surplus to requirements at Chelsea.

    The BBC claim that Borussia Dortmund have offered the youngster an escape route out of Stamford Bridge.

    A loan could even be made permanent.

  • Duran's mouth-watering contract

    Jhon Duran's astonishing deal at Al-Nassr is worth £16.7million-per-year.

    That's £16.7m a year, £1.4m a month, and £320,000 every week.

    Astronomical figures for a 21-year-old.

  • Emery on Watkins' future

    He is happy to stay.
    “We asked him how he is feeling every day and year he is being here with Villa and he is happy here.
    "The commitment of Ollie Watkins with us is a huge commitment. He appreciates a lot how Villa was always supporting him and helping him, when we joined here two years ago how we were working with him and getting the best of him.
    "Now we need him, like he needed Aston Villa in the last years. I am speaking with him a lot, he is always adapting with every circumstances we have and of course when some teams calling us being interested in the players it’s very good for us and the players.
    "Some players prefer to leave and some accept to stay here and commit with our challenges. One of them is Ollie Watkins."

  • City talks

    Man City are reportedly in talks with Porto starlet, Nico Gonzalez.

    The 23-year-old midfielder has a release clause of £50million.

    However, The Telegraph reports Pep Guardiola's side don't want to pay that much.

    They are hoping they can knock that price down nearer to transfer deadline day.

  • Show and Tel

    Mathys Tel was not included in Bayern Munich's squad for today's clash with Holstein Kiel.

    That will surely mean he's on his way.

    The France striker was subject of a bid from Spurs, but reportedly snubbed a move.

    Arsenal are also said to be monitoring his situation.

  • Arteta on striker hunt

    I’m not going to talk about any individuals.

    "I’m very confident with the work the club is doing, exploring every single opportunity that can have an impact on the team. If we can agree something we will. If we can’t, we won’t.

    "We are trying everything that we can, but I don’t want to give any reassurance or not. It doesn’t depend only on us. Our intentions are clear but the possibilities are affected by three parties.

    "We look at what we have in the squad, what we are lacking, what can make an impact and make us much better, regardless of age or background. It’s just a belief that player can be really good for us over time."

  • Rashford latest

    According to Fabrizio Romano, Marcus Rashford's move to Aston Villia imminent.

    The transfer expert wrote on X: "Marcus Rashford has agreed personal terms with Aston Villa! Deal imminent after initial green light in the morning.

    "Understand Villa and United are closing in on loan deal, discussing buy option clause. Emery called Rashford, player attracted by project & UCL football."

  • Tottenham still pushing

    Tottenham have made a shock approach for Chelsea ace Axel Disasi as manager Ange Postecoglou is desperate to bolster his squad with his side on the brink of being pulled into a relegation battle.

    The Blues are supposedly trying to offload Disasi before the January transfer window slams shut on Monday.

    Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano claims Spurs have made a late bid for the centre-back.

    But the North Londoners are already behind in the race for his signature as Aston Villa have already agreed personal terms with the France international.

    Villa are pushing hard to bring in the 26-year-old after Diego Carlos' exit to Fenerbahce and Tyrone Mings' latest injury blow.

    Tottenham have been turned down by Fikayo Tomori, who wants to stay at AC Milan, and the club is also struggling to convince attackers to join after being rejected by Bayern Munich ace Mathys Tel.

    Postacoglou's side also enquired about Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho, but he looks set to remain at Old Trafford.

  • Watkins unlikely to move

    Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins is unlikely to join Arsenal during the January transfer window.

    Watkins is being targeted by the Gunners who need attacking reinforcement.

    However, Villa lost star striker Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr in the dying stages of the winter market.

    The Villans are close to agreeing a loan move for Manchester United's wantaway star Marcus Rashford who can replace Duran.

    However, there would be very little time to find a replacement for Watkins as the transfer window slams shut on Monday.

  • Dorgu on his way

    Lecce star Patrick Dorgu has broken his silence on his imminent move to Manchester United.

    Dorgu is on the verge of becoming Ruben Amorim's first signing as United manager.

    Amorim moved quickly to acquire the versatile wideman, agreeing a £29million deal with the Serie A side after identifying him as a target.

    The Denmark international said his goodbyes to his Lecce team-mates after their clash at Parma on Friday.

    And the Dane, who can play as a wing-back, was spotted at Milan airport on Saturday morning ahead of a flight to Manchester and a seemingly imminent medical with the Red Devils.

    When asked if he's excited about the move to Old Trafford, Dorgu told Sky Italia: "It's an opportunity for me."

  • Watkins willing to leave Villa

    Ollie Watkins is willing to leave Aston Villa in the lurch and join Arsenal, it's been claimed.

    The Gunners are hot on the heels of the England striker, who they've made their main target to fill the void left by the injured Gabriel Jesus.

    Arsenal have had a £60million bid REJECTED by the Villans, who are on the verge of losing Jhon Duran.

    Villa are likely to turn down a second approach for their star striker due to a lack of time to find a suitable replacement.

    But lifelong Gunners fan Watkins is said to be willing to swap Villa Park for the Emirates.

    That's according to The Daily Mail, who claim the 29-year-old would happily move to north London should the clubs reach an agreement.
