The January transfer window has kicked into gear, with Tottenham by far the busiest club so far with two new signings already, while the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all scour the market for fresh talents. A new striker is top of the menu for all three, with the likes of Joshua Zirkzee, Evan Ferguson, Borja Mayoral, Paulo Dybala and Victor Osimhen all linked.

The Gunners desperately need reinforcements as they look to continue fighting in both the Premier League and Champions League, and have reportedly bid for Getafe's Mayoral, while also chasing the likes of Amadou Onana, Martin Zubimendi and Douglas Luiz. Manchester United have let Jadon Sancho return to Borussia Dortmund on loan and are said to want to add Ajax's Brian Brobbey to their ranks and have an interest in Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo.

Osimhen is reportedly open to joining Chelsea in a major boost for the Blues, who also hold dreams of signing Brighton's Ferguson after completing their deal for Dujuan Richards. They could raise funds by selling Conor Gallagher, who continues to be top of Spurs' midfielder wish list, having landed the defender they wanted with the signing of Radu Dragusin and a forward in Timo Werner, with Djed Spence joining Genoa on loan and Eric Dier seeing out the rest of his contract on loan at Bayern Munich.

Arsenal face Chelsea and Man United battle for Onana

Arsenal have learned the price it will take to prise Amadou Onana away from Everton this month.

The Belgian international is a key target for the Gunners as Mikel Arteta looks to re-energise his side's faltering Premier League title bid with fresh blood alongside Declan Rice in midfield.

According to The i, Everton want to double the £33m they paid to sign Onana from Lille in the summer of 2022, with the £60m+ figure said to have been benchmarked against the £58m that Chelsea spent to get Romeo Lavia from Southampton in the last window.

The report adds that Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester United are also keen on Onana, but no official approaches have been made so far this month.

Real Madrid unwilling to keep Kepa

Real Madrid are reluctant to make Kepa Arrizabalaga's loan move permanent, which could impact Chelsea's future transfer business.

The 29-year-old goalkeeper made costly mistakes in the Super Cup semi-final against city rivals Atletico on Wednesday, despite a 5-3 win, and officials in Madrid are increasingly unimpressed with the Spaniard, despite having an option to buy included in the loan deal.

Carlo Ancelotti has been advised to play Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin ahead of the loanee, with Thibaut Courtois out through a long-term knee injury.

Kepa wants to stay at Santiago Bernabeu but his performances have thrown a permanent deal into doubt.

Chelsea want to sell their £71million signing, who became the world's most expensive goalkeeper when he joined in 2018, but he will have just 12 months left on his current £180,000-a-week Blues contract this summer.

Mbappe demands staggering wage at new club

Kylian Mbappe has some eye-watering demands for a new club this summer.

Real Madrid have long wished to sign the France star, having twice felt confident of a deal before the player performed a late U-turn.

Liverpool have also been linked, but any deal looks unfeasible, even for a Premier League side, due to Mbappe's wage demands.

According to the Telegraph, Mbappe would want a weekly wage of £1.24million at his new club.

That is far and away more than any player in history and around four times more than what Mohamed Salah earns.

Chelsea could dip into transfer market after Nkunku injury

Mauricio Pochettino has hinted Chelsea may need to dip into the transfer market if Christopher Nkunku's injury problems persist.

The French forward will miss his third match in a row with a hip problem when Fulham visit Stamford Bridge in a west London derby in the Premier League on Saturday.

Nkunku has only started one competitive match for Chelsea since joining in a £52million move from RB Leipzig last summer.

Asked by Standard Sport whether his latest absence could force Chelsea to sign a goalscorer, head coach Pochettino said: “It’s true that now, in the next few days, we are going to see the situation. That’s why I say I am a little worried.

“I still don’t have all the information about whether he will be available or not for a small initial period. We need to be very clinical to take some decisions, to think and see how we fix the problem.”

Chelsea rule out Gallagher exit amid Tottenham interest

Tottenham want to sign a central midfielder to conclude their January business, having already snapped up a forward and a defender, and Conor Gallagher is their key target.

Chelsea were open to selling last summer, when Spurs failed to wrap up a deal, and Standard Sport understands the right price could see their hand forced this month.

However, The Sun today reports that Gallagher will stay put this month.

Man United told Todibo price

Manchester United have been told centre-back target Jean-Clair Todibo will cost £52million.

Tottenham were keen on the France international earlier this window, before baulking at the price tag and moving on to Radu Dragusin.

United's interest remains, according to FootballTransfers, but he will not come cheap as Nice hold out for a healthy sum.

West Ham target Jonathan Rowe dazzles with stunning solo goal

West Ham transfer target Jonathan Rowe provided a timely reminder of his quality with a quite brilliant solo goal for Norwich on Friday night.

The young winger was in typically excellent form as David Wagner's side ran out 2-1 winners away at promotion rivals Hull in the Championship.

The scoreline was level at 0-0 10 minutes before the interval when Rowe won possession for Norwich inside the centre circle and proceeded to charge forward, showing dazzling feet as he beat a number of players before weaving his way to the edge of the penalty area and picking out the bottom corner with an inventive falling finish.

It was a terrific individual effort from England Under-21 international Rowe, who has established himself as one of the EFL's brightest young talents during a breakout campaign with the Canaries in which he has scored 12 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions so far.
