Transfer news LIVE!

The January transfer window is now slowly creeping towards the deadline with many clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, yet to make the serious deals many fans had hoped for. Tottenham have so far been the biggest player in the market, but that could all change in the days ahead.

Spurs, fresh from landing Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin, are one of several teams tipped to bid for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise. Arsenal are also reportedly in the mix with the Gunners also said to be keen on Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri and a striker such as Joshua Zirkzee, Borja Mayoral or Santiago Gimenez.

One big-name attacker who could enter the market is Karim Benzema, whose situation is reportedly being watched by Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea following his disillusionment in Saudi Arabia. Chelsea continue to be linked with Evan Ferguson, Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen whereas Liverpool remain contenders for Kylian Mbappe. Jordan Henderson is set to terminate his contract in Saudi Arabia and complete a move to Ajax. Follow all the latest transfer news, rumours and deals via Standard Sport's live blog!

Liverpool still eyeing Colwill move

Liverpool remain interested in signing Chelsea defender Levi Colwill.

The Reds are believed to have been keen on Colwill last summer, before the defender signed a new six-year deal at Stamford Bridge.

However, according to talkSPORT, Liverpool are still eyeing a move for Colwill, believing Chelsea's willingness to sell Conor Gallagher could mean they are open to selling other homegrown stars.

The Frenchman is out of contract at the end of the season and a free transfer to Real Madrid continues to be the most likely outcome, though Liverpool have also been linked with a surprise move.

However, Diario AS report that PSG have not given up hope on keeping Mbappe, offering him a new deal worth £86m-a-year.

Besiktas push for Cedric

Cedric Soares could leave Arsenal this month.

It's been a quiet window so far for the Gunners, with the club not in a position to spend big unless they make players sales.

Cedric's departure is unlikely to strengthen that position significantly, but the Mail report that Besiktas have opened talks and hope to reach an agreement to sign the full-back this month.

Arsenal told to spend big on striker

Arsenal will not win the Premier League title unless they sign a top striker this month, according to Ally McCoist.

The pundit has urged the Gunners to "break the bank" and land Ivan Toney, who has now served his eight-month suspension from football for betting breaches, while also calling for Dominic Solanke to leave Bournemouth.

McCoist told talkSPORT: “Ivan Toney is exactly what Arsenal need! He is a proper, out-and-out centre forward. He can drop in and link the play if you want him to, but he also gets in the box and scores goals.

“Victor Osimhen is another player who can do that and he would be my number one pick. However, if it is a question as to whether Arsenal should break the bank to sign Ivan Toney, the answer is yes.

“Dominic Solanke should move in the January transfer window, all day. Right now he is in an unbelievably rich vein of form and that might not last. Therefore, he may never get another opportunity to move to a club like Tottenham or Arsenal.

“If he gets the opportunity to move to a top club, for me, it is an absolute no-brainer. He has to move.”
