Transfer news LIVE: Chelsea plot shock Garnacho move, Man Utd battle Arsenal for Gyokeres and huge Haaland deal

Mike Keegan of the Daily Mail reports that Brighton have “expressed interest” in Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who the club signed for free after he left Fulham in the summer.

Keegan says that Chelsea have not made a decision on the sale yet, though it could present an opportunity at instant profit, especially with the return of Trevoh Chalobah to boost defensive options.

With Alejandro Garnacho seemingly on the table as a possible sale for Manchester United in this window the Argentine is garnering a lot of interest.

The Athletic say Chelsea are the latest to make enquiries about Garnacho and they have also considered Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens. The 20-year-old wingers are among multiple candidates of interest to Chelsea as they explore potential signings.

Spanish outlet Marca is reporting that Real Madrid have agreed deals (with the players themselves) for both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies.

Alexander-Arnold would likely move for free in the summer, though there is still a possibility that he agrees a new deal at Anfield.

Davies is also reportedly set to be offered a new deal by Bayern, who hope that wages of around €25m per year may be enough to tempt him to stay.

There are plenty of reports surrounding Newcastle duo Miguel Almiron and Lloyd Kelly, with the former the subject of a £10m bid from MLS side Atalanta United.

It is said that the Magpies are close to accepting that offer, while they have rejected a recent bid for Kelly from Turkish side Fenerbahce.

Potter was appointed as Julen Lopetegui’s successor on Thursday and was in the dugout to watch his side lose their FA Cup third-round tie 2-1 at Aston Villa on Friday night.

Following his appointment at the London Stadium, the Hammers have been linked with wantaway Red Devils forward Rashford in the January transfer window but Potter remained tight-lipped.

“Well, I used to say this 20-odd months ago, I only comment on players that are West Ham players,” the 49-year-old, who had to deal with constant transfer speculation at previous club Chelsea, said.

Manchester United will not allow Marcus Rashford to switch to one of their Premier League rivals.

That comes after interest from Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham according to the Star.

A loan move was considered by the London clubs, but United have ruled out the prospect of allowing the forward to thrive elsewhere in England.

Mohamed Salah could head to Saudi Arabia for a numper £65m opportunity when his Liverpool contract expires.

The Sun report the offer is for two seasons from Al-Hilal.

Negotiations continue with the Reds over an extension as Salah spearheads a quadruple charge.

Bayern Munich are eyeing a late move for Arsenal target Martin Zubimendi.

A replacement for Joshua Kimmich could be required for the Bavarian giants this summer.

And Sky Sport Germany reveal Bayern could pay the release clause of €60m (£50.6m) to tempt the Spanish midfielder.

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna says the club still want more signings in Januar as they hope to avoid relegation and remain in the top-flight.

Ipswich completed the signing of Jaden Philogene from Aston Villa on Tuesday for a fee in the region of £20m and McKenna wants more firepower to boost their chances of Premier League survival.

“We’ll try to, if we can find quality that can improve us,” he said, “I think our depth is pretty good now. If we can get everybody back fit, our depth is fine.

“But if we can add quality that can help the starting XI or quality that can help from the bench, then we’ll certainly aim to try and do so – but only if the right players are available that can really push us on.”

Much has been made of Manchester United’s supposed pursuit of PSG full-back Nuno Mendes, after news emerged earlier in the month that the Portuguese was not likely to agree a new contract in the French capital.

However, it was always seen as difficult to pull off any sort of deal this month – if at all – and Duncan Castles is reporting that the full-back wants an annual package of around €10m in wages.

PSG are still trying to convince Mendes to stay, but it is worth noting that he has previously played under Ruben Amorim at Sporting and shares the same agency as Bruno Fernandes.
