Done deal!

Kyle Walker has completed his move to AC Milan on loan until the end of the season.

The 34-year-old told Manchester City earlier this month that he wanted to move abroad, with Pep Guardiola leaving Walker out of the side since he came off the bench against West Ham on January 4.

That exit has now been made official, with Walker joining Milan on an initial loan deal for the rest of the campaign. The Serie A side have the option to make the move a permanent one in the summer for a fee of around £4.2million.

Walker posted on Instagram: “Manchester City… where do I start? Signing for this incredible club in 2017 was a dream come true. Seven years later, winning 17 trophies, including the Champions League and the famous treble is something I could only have dreamt as a child.

Man City business

It's already been a busy window for Manchester City.

They've welcomed defensive duo Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis as well as bolstering their forward line with the signing of Omar Marmoush.

But can we expect more business from Pep Guardiola's side?

That remains to be seen as they've been linked with a move for Juventus defender Andreas Cambiaso as a replacement for Kyle Walker who is AC Milan-bound.

Tel u-turn?

A lot can happen in a week.

Following a substitute appearance in Bayern Munich's 5-0 thumping of Hoffenheim, it appeared a January exit for Mathys Tel was off the table.

However, following two games without an appearance since, reports now claim the forward could change his mind on leaving before the transfer window closes.

This will be music to the ears of Chelsea who have held a long-standing interest in Tel.

Perhaps a swap deal is on the cards as Bayern have been linked with a move for Christopher Nkunku.

Real Madrid expect to sign Alexander-Arnold

Major development, potentially, in the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Earlier we brought reports that Real Madrid are beginning to accept that Alexander-Arnold will stay at Liverpool in this window after seeing a bid rejected.

However, Marca claim that an agreement between Madrid and the English international is well advanced, and is expected to be finalised in the summer.

Of course, Alexander-Arnold's contract at Liverpool expires in the summer which means he can sign a pre-contract agreement with any club outside of England.

Potter tight-lipped on West Ham striker search

West Ham have been linked with moves for Jhon Duran, Andre Silva and Ajax's Brian Bobbey before the transfer window closes.

However, Graham Potter was reluctant to comment on the club's search for a new striker.

"If I answered every question on the speculation then we would be here a long time and it would be pretty tedious," he told reporters. "So we just ignore the noise and help the players that are injured to get back.

"We are always looking obviously, but there are lots of factors. The club invested a lot of money in the summer, so we have to be mindful of that - and in this window, it is always complicated to find the right person.

"It is important to work with the players that are here to help them improve, so that is the focus and is what we have been doing."

Frank reveals stance on Wissa

Thomas Frank must be counting down the days until the January transfer window slams shut!

This is what he’s had to say about Yoane Wissa after Brentford rejected Nottingham Forest’s £22m bid for the forward...

“There is a lot of rumours, he told reporters. “For me, again he is a Brentford player and in my opinion Wissa is not for sale.

“He has been our leading number nine and done fantastic, so I cannot see why we should sell him."
