    So Burnley have their front man. What about Arsenal?

    A bit more info (if you need it) on Wout Weghorst...

    The Dutch striker has been capped 12 times by his country. He has scored 59 goals in 118 Bundesliga appearances for Wolfsburg over the past three and a half seasons, including six in 18 this season.

    Before that, he netted 45 times in 86 games for Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.

  3. 'A sign of the club's development'published at 11:05 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2022

    Burnley

    On the signing of Wout Weghorst, Burnley manager Sean Dyche has said: “Wout is a player that our scouts have been strong on for some time and we feel that he can add to all that we do at Burnley Football Club.

    “His signing is a continued show of the club’s and team’s development. We wish Wout well as he earns the right to push our group forwards.”

    Clarets chairman Alan Pace said: “I’d like to wish Wout a very warm welcome to Burnley Football Club.

    “We’re absolutely delighted to have brought in a great talent with a fantastic goal-scoring pedigree in Germany. I look forward to him joining up with Sean and the team.

    “January is a famously difficult window, as we all know. I am however delighted that a lot of hard work by everyone involved has paid off.”

    I wonder what attracted Burnley to 6'6" striker Wout Weghorst?

    The 29-year-old is clearly the replacement for Chris Wood, who joined Newcastle earlier this month. He'll provide the strength and height in attack.

    We have our second Premier League deal of the day.

    Burnley have signed giant striker Wout Weghorst from Wolfsburg for an undisclosed fee.

    The 29-year-old Netherlands international has signed a deal at Turf Moor until 2025.

    Ben Board @ Epic: Ekitike becomes only the fourth player in Premier League history to have a palindrome surname (reads the same backwards and forwards). Can you name the others?

  8. Zakaria to Juvepublished at 10:53 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2022

    Another deal edging ever closer, namely Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria heading to Juventus.

    The Switzerland international has also been linked with Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund and would have been out of contract with the German club in the summer.

    Gandalf The Frog: Chris, Hants. 9.35. I'm not saying they were relegation fodder at the time but isn't that how Man City and Chelsea ended up with titles? Even my own club (Brighton) benefited from funding (albeit British money). Maybe the secret is marketing, not skill.

    Gavin Smith: Cantwell to Bournemouth is a clever signing. Will give them a spark that has been missing the last few weeks and knows the Championship well. Kind of signing that will get them the automatic promotion.

    Simon Tilbury: Just seen Alvaro Morata and Weston McKennie waiting outside the legendary Chick King on Tottenham high road. Doesn’t open until 11am guys.

  10. Burn 'following his heart not his head'published at 10:48 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2022

    So it looks like Dan Burn is going home.

    This must have been a tough 'head v heart' decision.

    On the one hand, he is flourishing under a manager who gets the best out of him, a crowd who adore him and a club that’s direction of travel is upwards

    A club that does things the right way.

    On the other, it’s a chance to go home, to be closer to family and friends and to fulfil a childhood ambition of playing for your hometown club.

    And it’s a hometown club that has big pockets and, if they are successful in avoiding the drop, Burn could find himself quickly discarded when bigger, more glamorous names are inevitably linked in the summer.

    It looks like a decision made with the heart.

  11. Ekitike one for the present and futurepublished at 10:45 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2022

    By making a move for striker Hugo Ekitike, Newcastle are making an investment in the present and the future.

    The 19-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign for Stade de Reims this season, recording eight goals and three assists in 18 appearances to establish himself as their first-choice striker.

    While still clearly quite raw, Ekitike has the pace, natural finishing ability and strength to make the transition to the Premier League a smooth one.

  13. Arsenal may rue 'serious missed opportunity'published at 10:43 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2022

    It appears Arsenal’s January priority was to continue a squad cleanse that began about 12 months ago. Whilst that was much needed, this window will feel like a serious missed opportunity for the club without one or two top quality additions on deadline day.

    The Gunners find themselves within touching distance of top four, but a lack of quality in central midfield and, most crucially, at centre forward (following the Aubameyang exile) feels like it will almost certainly derail any chances of a Champions League return.

    Bruno Guimaeres, a long term reported target for the club, moving to Newcastle, has only frustrated fans further. This felt like a window Arsenal should have been prepared to pay the January premium and push the boat for a couple of players that could take them back into the promised land.

    A big-money deadline-day move for someone like Patrik Schick, Alexander Isak or Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the last faint hope some fans may have today.

  14. Postpublished at 10:43 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2022

    It has been a quiet window for Arsenal, especially on the incoming front. Gunners fans can't really grumble at the way the team have been going this season after that horror start, but would they have expected some January movement to boost their top-four hopes?

    Ousmane Dembele to Spurs now that PSG is off? His price is Levy-friendly, he's a wide player so could fill Conte's vacancy at wing-back, and he'd come in as a big name to the squad...

    Checked in with Aston Villa. Looks like Matt Targett off on loan to Newcastle United but the feeling is good, targeted business was done early and they will now wait until the summer to go again.

    The signings of Philippe Coutinho and Lucas Digne were big priorities for manager Steven Gerrard and Villa showed their ambition by delivering on them.

  17. Diaz - control, touch, dribblingpublished at 10:35 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2022

    Nobody knows football players better than the team behind the Football Manager game series. Scouts from all over the world provide detailed analysis to build the game's comprehensive database.

    Sport Interactive's Andrew Sinclair, PR & Content Executive, & Tom Hardy, Social Media Assistant, will be giving their assessments of players throughout the day.

    It's no surprise that so many of Europe's top clubs have been chasing the signature of Luis Diaz after the Colombian scored 16 times in 26 games for Porto in the first half of the season.

    A right-footed winger gifted with an excellent first touch, the 25-year-old’s combination of close control and dribbling make him a nightmare for opposition defences.

    His dramatic changes of direction when cutting in off the left will be sure to get Liverpool fans off their seats as Diaz adds another option to their already electric attacking unit.

    Bournemouth are close to securing a loan deal for Norwich midfielder Todd Cantwell.

    Cherries boss Scott Parker had been looking at Derby skipper Tom Lawrence but Wayne Rooney has been assured by the club’s administrators that there will be no player sales today.

    Parker has turned his attentions to Cantwell, who has been restricted to just three Premier League appearances since September.

    Bournemouth want to bolster their squad after slipping out of the automatic promotion places.

    I think I speak for all NUFC fans when I say that we really don't care what any of you think of us, we know who we are, we know what we've suffered through for over a decade, and we know how little sympathy we've had along the way.
