For the love of everything sacred in this game we beg you, Gods of football – please make the Alexis Sánchez transfer happen today because we are so done with it.

In other news, here are Monday’s top transfer rumours, and no, we will not be discussing the one who must not be named (above).

Real Talk ?

OK fine. Just one little thing. Here’s Alexis Sánchez pictured wearing his new Manchester United kit for the very first time. Hello there, No7 …

Linked with a move to Premier League giants Chelsea, Arturo Vidal says there is “no chance” of him leaving Bayern Munich in January, so that’s that rumour killed, confirms Goal.

Arsenal star midfielder Mesut Özil is waiting on a mega contract if his side sign Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, as well as Henrikh Mkhitaryan this transfer window, says the Sun.

The Express reports that Arsenal’s chief executive Ivan Gazidis was spotted in Dortmund as he finalises the deal for the Gabon international, whilst there is gossip surrounding France mega star Olivier Giroud, who might complete a move to the Bundesliga side in a strange swap deal? Only time will tell …

Speaking of France internationals, Monaco’s Thomas Lemar, who has been linked to a move to Liverpool and Arsenal all month, has now snubbed the Premier League and has opted for a move to Spain instead.

And here’s an intriguing one. According to the Daily Mail, Stoke City have made a bid worth £3.25m in an attempt to secure New York City‘s Jack Harrison. The 21-year-old winger is a former Liverpool and Manchester United academy player.

Fake News ?

According to the Mirror, Serie A giants Juventus make ‘surprise move’ for Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere. What? Why?

To put some rumours to rest, Everton will not be selling striker Oumar Niasse in January, insists Sam Allardyce. Whilst Stoke boss Paul Lambert is adamant that Peter Crouch will not be going anywhere (sorry, Chelsea …).

Fantasy Football ?

We’re sorry if this is true, but we’re going to stay in denial about it for as long as possible. According to the Sentinel, Dortmund and Germany star André Schürrle is interested in a move to Stoke or Newcastle United on loan. Go home transfer window, you’re drunk.
