Transfer news LIVE! Arsenal in Onana talks; Chelsea 'agree' £112m Osimhen deal; Dragusin to Tottenham done | OneFootball

Today could see the first major deals of the January window confirmed as Tottenham welcome Timo Werner for his medical and hope to have fended off Bayern Munich after agreeing a fee for Radu Dragusin. Arsenal have been linked with Amadou Onana, while Chelsea are reportedly weighing up moves for Victor Osimhen, Paulo Dybala and Jordan Henderson.

With Ivan Toney seemingly staying at Brentford this window, the Gunners are ready to hold off on a striker siging and instead focus on bolstering their midfield, and Everton's Onana is reportedly top of Mikel Arteta's wishlist. It remains to be seen if interest is real and if Sean Dyche would even entertain a move.

Another injury to Christopher Nkunku could see Mauricio Pochettino launch a bid for Roma's Dybala, who is available on a cut-price deal. It’s a move which surely makes sense from a Manchester United point of view, too, given their struggles in front of goal. Jadon Sancho is still in talks over a loan move to Borussia Dortmund, who are set to take Chelsea's Ian Maatsen for the rest of the sesaon.

Haaland wants Real Madrid to trigger £86m release clause

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland would "sign for [Real] Madrid tomorrow" if he could.

That's according to AS, who claim the star striker is available for £86million this summer due to a release clause.

Madrid remain desperate to lure Kylian Mbappe to the club at the third time of asking with the Frenchman's Paris Saint-Germain contract set to expire at the end of the season.

The report adds that Haaland's release clause is £86m for overseas clubs but double that for Premier League rivals.

Chelsea want to cash in on Maatsen

Chelsea are likely to look to cash in on Borussia Dortmund-bound Ian Maatsen as they bid to stay in line with Financial Fair Play constraints while continuing to spend big on new signings, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

The Blues remain in the market for January incomings, with a striker, central defender and left-back all being considered.

Signing a striker remains their priority but Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Brentford’s Ivan Toney, two key targets, are difficult and expensive to secure.

Bayern turn to Dragusin alternative

Bayern appear to have ended their interest in Tottenham target Radu Dragusin as they turn their attentions to Kevin Danso.

With Spurs agreeing a fee with Genoa for Dragusin, the Lens centre-back is back on the German giant's January wishlist according to Fabrizio Romano.

Spurs defender Eric Dier is also on that shortlist, as Bayern look to bolster their backline in January. Danso was also of interest last summer before signing a new contract with Lens.

Newcastle in pole position to loan Phillips

Newcastle United remain in pole position to sign Kalvin Phillips on loan.

According to various reports, Juventus have cooled their interest to leave Newcastle a free run at the Manchester City midfielder.

City are reportedly holding out for a loan fee and obligation to buy as they look to recoup most, if not all, of the £45million they spent to sign the player from Leeds 18 months ago.

Phillips is desperate to leave to keep his hopes of making England's Euro 2024 squad alive.
