Premier League giants look for imminent deals before window closes
Transfer news – LIVE!
The January transfer window is set to close in just a few days’ time but the drama continues right up until the deadline. Arsenal are keen to sign a new striker but have seen a bid rejected for Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins, though there could still be hope when it comes to signing him. Indeed, reports now suggest that personal terms won’t be an issue for the England international, meaning they just need to agree a fee with the Midlands giants – albeit that will be easier said than done.
Manchester United are also expected to be busy. Patrick Dorgu from Leece is understood to be closing in on a move, while they reportedly retain an interest in Mathys Tel of Bayern Munich. There are now claims Ruben Amorim is looking to bring Sporting winger Geovany Quenda to Old Trafford.
Tottenham could also make late moves. Said to have been snubbed by Tel, Spurs are seemingly keen to bring AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori back to England. Follow all the latest news, gossip and rumours including updates on Chelsea and West Ham’s chase of Arthur Cabral with Standard Sport’s blog below!
