End of twitter postIs Kamara off to Turkey?published at 08:51 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2019
FulhamAboubakar Kamara has had an interesting month.
The Fulham striker incurred manager Claudio Ranieri's wrath when he refused to let Aleksandar Mitrovic take a penalty against Huddersfield on 29 December.
He was then arrested on 23 January at the club's training ground on suspicion of actual bodily harm and criminal damage.
Fulham suspended him from all club-related activities and it seems he may now be on his way out. He posted this picture on Instagram on Wednesday, apparently on board a Turkish Airlines plane. He has been linked with Malatyaspor., external
We understand police released Kamara pending further inquiries. He has not been charged and there are no bail conditions, so he is free to complete a move out of the country.

'Babel has had a positive impact'published at 08:37 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2019
What does your club need?
FulhamWith his club down in 19th, Fulham fan Sammy James - presenter of the Fulhamish podcast - says the signing of Ryan Babel has been "really positive".
"It's been a pretty quiet transfer window for Fulham so far, with only Ryan Babel arriving from Besiktas," said Sammy.
"His impact has been really positive, and much of the negativity surrounding his move has been quickly proven wrong.
"It's obvious that Fulham need to sign another centre-back before the transfer window closes, and currently it looks like Crystal Palace's Scott Dann is our new main target.
"He has bags of Premier League experience, and if he is the difference between survival and relegation, then it would be an absolute bargain."

Sorry Rory, seems you can already forget about Youri Tielemans. Our reporter Simon Stone says Leicester are closing in on a loan deal for the Belgian.
'Gueye edging closer to a move?'published at 08:27 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2019

Everton
Image source, AFPIt could be an "interesting day at Goodison" says David Downie from the Blue Room Podcast, which is focused on all things Everton.
"It appears Idrissa Gueye is edging ever closer to a move to PSG after he was left out of the squad entirely against Huddersfield on Tuesday night," said Downie.
"Given our recent struggles in that area - including Gueye’s under-par performances and a very tired Andre Gomes - I’m not sure a mishmash of Tom Davies, Morgan Schneiderlin or James McCarthy is enough for Everton and Marco Silva to kick on following a real barren spell in the league, and being dumped out of the FA Cup.
"Many would say it’s sensible to wait until the summer, but given the pressure the manager has been under from the fans recently, can he turn to players who’ve barely featured for the most part of the season and hope to improve?
"It could be an interesting day at Goodison."

Image source, Getty ImagesLeicester are closing in on the loan signing of Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans.
Tielemans flew into the Midlands last night to complete his medical, with Adrien Silva going the other way.
The joint deal is yet to be completed but no major obstacles are anticipated.
Highly-rated Belgium international Tielemans, 21, joined Monaco from Anderlecht in 2017.
Silva has failed to make much of an impact at the King Power Stadium since arriving from Sporting Lisbon for £22million in 2017.
Silva was forced to wait six months to make his debut as the paperwork arrived with Fifa 14 seconds late. He has never really recovered his form and has made just three Premier League appearances this season.
The 29-year-old Portugal international is highly rated by new Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim.

Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal have gone much more low-key with their announcement of the signing of Sebastian Giovinco from Toronto FC.
The former Italy forward is filmed putting pen to paper beside club president Mohammed Bin Faisal in Los Angeles...but it looks like they're in a restaurant.
We need an 'elaborate' signing video and I'm afraid this one doesn't quite cut the mustard. Plenty of time yet though.

BBC SportBournemouth defender Tyrone Mings is understood to be on his way to Aston Villa for a medical.
Mings, 25, was being chased by a number of Championship clubs but the central defender has chosen Villa, and the chance to work with former England skipper John Terry, who is part of manager Dean Smith's coaching staff.
It is likely to be a loan deal for the former Ipswich man, who joined Bournemouth for £8m in 2015.
Mings' arrival is not expected to be the end of Villa's deadline day activity, with Smith also keen to bolster his midfield options.
