The January transfer window is rapidly approaching deadline day, which means a frantic push to get significant deals over the line. Kalvin Phillips' move to West Ham could be done today while Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all been linked with a huge push to land Karim Benzema on loan.

The Gunners continue to be touted to bid for Martin Zubimendi but players will have to be sold if they are to make a splash in the transfer market while abiding by financial fair play rules. Jakub Kiwior is one player said to potentially be on his way.

Chelsea have received a boost in the race for Victor Osimhen and Tottenham are facing a hijack attempt from Newcastle in their bid to sign Antonio Nusa. Man Utd want Arsenal target Joshua Zirkzee but have been told they cannot sign Lille defender Leny Yoro, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro both tipped for moves to Saudi Arabia.
