Deadline day key events
"Very conscious": Man City urged to avoid midfield mistake amid Luiz, Nypan links
Manchester City "are much more aware of the need to get it right" when signing a new midfielder after their previous "failings in the transfer market" in that department, Citizens expert Steven McInerney from Esteemed Kompany has told Sports Mole.
A combination of injuries and a notable drop-off in form from several first-team players has contributed to Man City's decline this season, leaving them 12 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, out of the EFL Cup and in danger of failing to qualify for the Champions League knockout rounds.
In a bid to revive their campaign, add much-needed depth in key positions and address the age profile of a squad that has become the fourth oldest in the Premier League, Pep Guardiola's side have decided to begin their squad rebuild this month, with three fresh faces having already arrived at the Etihad Stadium.
Full-back exodus: Southampton defender wanted by ambitious English club?
Southampton full-back Charlie Taylor is reportedly wanted by Hull City in the Championship.
The 31-year-old has played a bit-part role for the Saints during the 2024-25 campaign as they struggle to maintain their spot in the top flight.
Indeed, Taylor has featured in just seven Premier League contests for Southampton this term, starting just two matches and totalling only 263 minutes of football.
The defender signed on a permanent deal from Turf Moor over the summer, after spending a seven-year spell in Lancashire with Championship Burnley.
"Negotiations are continuing": Wolves star hints January exit is likely
Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Mario Lemina has hinted that he is closing in on an exit from Molineux.
Recently-appointed head coach Vitor Pereira has publicly stated that the Gabon international will not be considered for selection until after the end of the January transfer window.
That is a consequence of Lemina having told him that he is eager to leave the club, as well as withdrawing himself from contention for a recent fixture versus Newcastle United.
Lemina was also stripped of the captaincy for an on-the-pitch fracas after a game wit West Ham United in December, the 31-year-old involved in an argument with Toti Gomes and a member of staff.
European duo 'seek loan move' for out-of-favour Chelsea man
Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka is allegedly attracting interest from two more European clubs.
The 21-year-old's Blues career has essentially come to a standstill despite Enzo Maresca having previously insisted that he is a fan of the player.
Just 130 minutes have been accumulated across five appearances in the EFL Cup and Conference League this campaign, Chukwuemeka having now not earned any game time for over a month.
Although a scenario could materialise where the playmaker is kept at Stamford Bridge, there is an acknowledgement that he could benefit from regular game time elsewhere.
"I'm aware": Man United, Spurs-linked midfielder responds to Premier League links
Lille midfielder Angel Gomes is attempting to ignore speculation regarding a return to the Premier League.
The 24-year-old is currently living up to his potential in France having made 123 appearances for Lille since his transfer in 2020.
Gomes has also developed into an England international, significantly enhancing his reputation yet not his price-tag when he has less than six months remaining on his contract.
As it stands, it appears highly likely that Gomes will remain at Stade Pierre-Mauroy and depart as a free agent at the end of the season.
Chelsea forward subject to enquiry from Premier League club?
Chelsea forward Joao Felix is reportedly attracting interest from Aston Villa ahead of the closure of the January transfer window.
On Monday afternoon, reports emerged that Villa were preparing to instigate discussions with their Blues counterparts over a loan deal for Axel Disasi.
Priority is currently being placed on acquiring at least one new centre-back due to the sale of Diego Carlos and apparent knee injury suffered by Tyrone Mings.
Disasi is one of a number of backup squad players at Chelsea that have allegedly been made available for transfer for the right price, whether that be on a permanent or temporary basis.
