    Manchester United

    Not playing Hojlund and Zirkzee yesterday was a clear sign to the board from Amorim that he wants a striker. Yes, we don't want to make the mistakes of the past, but we really need someone to put the ball in the back of the net. Are clubs starting to realise all over again the value of a prolific Number 9... Mateta was class yesterday as well.

  2. 'The one where Edwards signs for the Clarets'

    BBC Sport

    Burnley have once again outdone themselves when it comes to transfer video announcements.

    Last week Jonjo Shelvey was revealed in a Traitors-style video, while at the start of the month Ashley Barnes was 'back' in an Independence Day post.

    For Marcus Edwards' signing they've gone with a classic from Friends.

    "Did She Get Off The Plane?" asks Ross.

    "I got off the plane," replies Edwards, via the miracle of green-screen technology.

  3. Burnley transfer news: Edwards joins from Sporting on loan

    Over to the Championship now and Burnley have signed 26-year-old Marcus Edwards from Sporting on loan until the end of the season.

    The English forward started his career at Tottenham’s academy, but only featured in an EFL Cup game for Spurs.

    Edwards joined Sporting in January 2022, but has only featured in six league games this year.

    Edwards told Burnley website: “Burnley is like a Premier League club.”

    Brighton have become the first Premier League club to make a confirmed signing on transfer deadline day, bringing in Greece Under-21 forward Stefanos Tzimas from Bundesliga 2 side FC Nuremburg for an undisclosed fee.

    The move is subject to international clearance.

    Tzimas, 19, has signed a contract until June 2030 but will remain with Nuremburg on loan until the end of the season.

  5. What’s happened in the last hour?

    Aston Villa's 19-year-old Serbia defender Kosta Nedeljkovic has joined RB Leipzig on loan until the end of the season.

    Villa are also looking to land three-time Champions League winner Marco Asensiofrom Paris St-Germain.

    BBC Sport's chief football news reporter Simon Stone says Manchester City are interested in Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez – City are the Premier League’s biggest spenders of this winter window.

    Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has flown to Germany to complete a loan move to Dortmund.

    Aston Villa

    Emery has a history of taking "problem" players and getting the best out of them. Look at his Villareal back catalogue. I'm pretty sure Rashford isn't the issue, it's the advisers around him, so I'm optimistic. Hopefully, Emery can get the Rashford that should be coming into his peak years.

  7. Spurs distance themselves from Disasi move

    Tottenham won't be signing Chelsea defender Axel Disasi on deadline day.

    The 26-year-old is available on loan and not blocked from choosing his next destination - as long as terms are right, with a loan fee needing to be agreed.

    But the north Londoners are not making a move for the Frenchman, which leaves him either with a move to Aston Villa or staying at Stamford Bridge.

  8. Villa move 'excellent' for Rashford and Emery 'loves' him

    David Ornstein
    The Athletic's football correspondent on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It’s excellent for him. He had to get back on the pitch and I think everybody is looking forward to seeing how he gets on because he’s been banished by Ruben Amorim, it could be a masterstroke by Villa.

    It’s a loan until the end of the season with an option to buy of £40 million, which if Rashford hits his stride seems like a bit of a bargain. If not, he can go back to Manchester United as he’s under contract there until 2028 and then the problem returns to them.

    He’ll have a point to prove. Villa are going all in on this, covering 75% of his salary which is £325,000 per week, it could even rise to as much as 90% with bonuses related to his performance.

    Unai Emery, their manager, loves him. He thinks he can bring him back to his top level. He regards him as one of the top attackers in world football so this is probably the most fascinating transfer of the entire market.

    There’s a lot riding on it for Rashford, for club and country.

  9. Man Utd's transfer business

    Manchester United

    Manchester United have used the January transfer window to send some first-team players out on loan.

    Marcus Rashford has joined Aston Villa until the end of the season in a deal that includes an option to buy for £40m - sources said the terms mean a minimum of 75% of Rashford's wages will be covered.

    Antony has joined La Liga side Real Betis until the end of the season - United sources say the deal is covering a minimum of 84% of Antony's salary.

    United have also sent out academy products Daniel Gore to Rotherham United and Ethan Wheatley to Walsall on loan until the end of the season.

    Who have United brought in?

    Prior to the Red Devils' 2-0 loss at home to Crystal Palace - PatrickDorgu, 20, and AydenHeaven, 18, were unveiled as United's latest signings.

    Dorgu has signed from Lecce on a five-and-a-half-year deal worth £25m (30m euros), with a potential £4.1m (5m euros) in add-ons.

    Heaven has joined from Arsenal on a four-and-a-half-year contract, the 18-year-old cost an undisclosed compensation fee.

    Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has flown to Germany and is completing his loan move to Dortmund.

    The 20-year-old needs to pass a medical but is expected to make the switch before the transfer deadline.

    Chukwuemeka is considered surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge by manager Enzo Maresca and has been encouraged to leave.

    Meanwhile, academy defender Somto Boniface is also expected to join Ipswich Town on a permanent deal.

  11. Who is Nico Gonzalez?

    Nico Gonzalez is a 23-year-old centre midfielder at Portuguese club Porto.

    The Spaniard joined Porto from Barcelona in 2023 and has since made 68 appearances for the Dragons, winning the Portuguese Cup and Super Cup.

    Although he's probably being seen by the Manchester City higher ups as a replacement for Rodri, Gonzalez has also had spells as both an attacking and a box-to-box midfielder.

    A young, technical midfielder with plenty of adaptability is just the sort of player Pep Guardiola likes.

    And here's the clincher, in December he was named the Primeira Liga Midfielder of the Month. You'll never sing that...

  12. Can Moyes make late headway?

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer

    Everton manager David Moyes will be seeking attacking reinforcements as the deadline approaches, despite a stunning return to the club with three wins in his first four games.

    Beto scored twice in the 4-0 win against Leicester City, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja, on loan from Chelsea, are long-term absentees.

    The problem Moyes faces is a shortage of realistic candidates and a shortage of big money to acquire them.

    Might be a day spent on, or by, the telephone for the Scot and director of football Kevin Thelwell.

    Ipswich Town

    As an Ipswich fan, we need a goalie, with Walton out and Muric making the same (if not higher) ratio of errors to saves. I'd also like a striker to challenge Hirst, behind Delap. It would be a disaster if one of them gets injured in the second half of the season. We've been rumoured with Michy Batshuayi. I also saw Ward-Prowse's name mentioned with West Ham, he hasn't played much for Forest as of late and would provide us with more vital premier league experience.

  14. Brighton set for Tzimas deal

    BBC Sport's chief football news reporter

    Brighton are on the verge of completing a €25m (£20.79) deal for Greece Under-21 international Stefanos Tzimas.

    The 19-year-old has been one of the most sought-after young players in Europe this transfer window and Brighton believe they have landed a major coup by getting him.

    The plan is for Tzimas to stay with German second tier club FC Nurnberg for the remainder of the season before moving to the Amex in the summer.

    He is already on loan in Germany from Greek club PAOK.

  15. West Ham want Brighton's Ferguson on loan

    We think Brighton's Evan Ferguson will make a switch to West Ham on loan today.

    Yesterday, Simon Stone reported Ferguson was set to have a medical at the London club.

    Ferguson hasn't been given many chances under Seagulls manager Fabian Hurzeler, although he did come back from an ankle injury to make his 15th appearance of the season at the weekend.

    West Ham boss Graham Potter knows Ferguson well, giving him his Brighton debut back in August, 2021.

    West Ham need a striker with Jarrod Bowen, Niclas Fullkrug and Michail Antonio all currently out injured.

    And Ferguson, who was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year two seasons ago, appears to fit the bill.

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham need another CB for sure but could really do with strengthening up front. Liam Delap is my ideal choice. Injuries have really stunned us this season but with the players coming back over the next few weeks I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s it for this window.

  17. Chelsea's busy day of outgoings

    Chelsea have a lot of potential outgoings in the works today:

    • Defender Ben Chilwell widely tipped with a move to Crystal Palace
    • Defender Axel Disasi is attracting interest from both Aston Villa and Tottenham on loan
    • Joao Felix is also been widely linked with a move to AC Milan; although it appears be agent-driven and it is unclear whether Chelsea will accept it
    • Fellow forward Christopher Nkunku continues to be linked with Bayern Munich and Manchester United but BBC Sport's latest contacts have played down the chance of his exit
    • One source has explained that midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has travelled to complete his loan move to Borussia Dortmund
    • Marseille are also in talks with defender Aaron Anselmino about a potential loan deal but it could be linked to Disasi's situation
    • Meanwhile, academy defender Somto Boniface is expected to join Ipswich on a permanent deal.

    Chelsea have been linked with a blockbuster attacking signing, with names including Alejandro Garnacho, Jamie Gittens and Mathys Tel all being linked during the transfer window, but news on incomings has gone quiet.

    Aston Villa's Kosta Nedeljkovic, 19, has joined RB Leipzig on loan until the end of the season.

    The Serbia defender has featured in five Premier League games this season and became Villa’s 1,000th player to play a first-team game for the club when he came off the bench against West Ham on the opening day of the campaign.

    Nedeljkovic told the RB Leipzig website: “Since the first contact, I really wanted to take this option, because the club consistently relies on young players and gives them the chance to develop."

  20. Man City want Nico Gonzalez

    Manchester City have not suffered a Premier League defeat bigger than the one inflicted on them at the Emirates Stadium yesterday than in the pre-Sheikh Mansour days, when they were hammered 8-1 at Middlesbrough in 2008.

    The 5-1 loss at Arsenal will have sharpened minds about bringing in midfield reinforcements as City have been unable to plug the gap created by Rodri's major knee injury.

    It seems Porto's former Barcelona midfielder Nico Gonzalez is the player that has been identified.

    City have already spent £130m on new players this transfer window. It seems their recruitment campaign might not be over.
