Transfer window: Denis Suárez closes on the Arsenal loan switch – live! | Soccer

On this bomb, we will finish the blog. Here are the highlights of today.

Genoa hires Hungarian midfielder Andras Schafer of MTK Budapest, having already hired Real Betis striker Antonio Sanabria, Chapecoense Jandrei goalkeeper Giuseppe Pezzella of Udinese and Stefano Sturaro on loan from Juventus. Absolute abs.

Lovers of Arsenal, where would you like to see Denis Suárez integrate into the side? He is a good player, but not convinced that it brings something different to your midfield. It seems that this is only a short-term solution for Mkhitaryan.

Reports multiply that Newcastle are in talks with Benfica about a loan for midfielder Andreas Samaris and half-Monégasque Antonio Barreca, who seems unable to be part of a 19th-team in Ligue 1. Italian joined Monaco only in the summer and seems to prefer Newcastle's choice after an agreement for Lazio Jordan Lukaku failed due to a medical failure.

That's what he came for.

"Michael,

There are no petrol stations near Portsmouth.

Dan Almond. "

The 17-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract and will go straight into the under-23 category, although if this video is anything to go by, it will not be long.

Fellaini, now Wagner. If you are 6ft4in and do not have agent, please contact us.

Some late news from Argentina: Boca Juniors has signed Kevin Mac Allister, to the delight of meme lovers from around the world. Kevin apparently has ancestors from Fife, Scotland. He is the son of former Boca player and Argentine international Carlos Mac Allister and the brother of Brighton defender Alexis Mac Allister.

The city of Swansea should soon confirm the departure of Wilfried Bony. It is understood that a transfer has been agreed with a UAE club. The news will be welcome in Swansea, as Bony earned £ 100,000 a week in the championship. The Ivorian joined Swansea from Manchester City in August 2017 but scored only four goals in 26 appearances and his salary – there was no relegation clause in his contract – was a huge burden for the Welsh club.

"The all-time favorite must be Mike Duff, D / M R / C Cheltenham Town on CM01 / 02, "e-mailed Andrew Drinkwater. "In the game, he ended up looking for a Division 1 player (as was the case) for 30 km, joining the first team directly and becoming a reliable player in the Premier League and international for years. He usually ended up retiring and going back to Cheltenham as a manager. Clearly another example of how the game is unrealistic and separate from reality. "

We have a joke ourselves! Duff is actually the current manager of Cheltenham. The club had five more points than the relegation zone in Ligue Two and played (surely) with Burnley in the Premier League and Northern Ireland.

Poch receives the sessio of this afternoonn on the blog transfer to a flyer with the news that he is "not at all optimistic" on the part of the Spurs to sign for the month of January, despite their injuries.

Hello everyone. Glad to see that John Fleck was mentioned, not only because he played a leading role in Sheffield United's promotion campaign, but also because he was one of the best fantastic Football Manager. As a young 17-year-old, you can choose him for 1 to 2 million pounds of Rangers in 2009. He would always need a loan or two to reach his full potential, but it was a clbad act.

To save me reports on the loan agreements of Ligue 1, what were your favorite FM / CM wonders? How are they doing in 2019?

Do you have information for me? Peter Crouch is at a gas station just outside Portsmouth. That sort of thing. Hit me up: [email protected] or tweet @ michaelbutler18.

Yes, I will now turn to my colleague Michael Butler. He will guide you during the rest of the afternoon. I'll leave you with a tweet for Spurs fans to think:

Goodbye.

Sheffield United has refused an offer of £ 4 million West Ham for terrier midfielder John Fleck, according to reports from the Sheffield Star. According to one of my colleagues who supports the Blades, he "is not good enough for the Premier League", so Declan Rice and Mark Noble should not be afraid of losing their place on the team so soon.

Burnley's Ben Gibson is a target for Aston Villa but the center back would cost about £ 15 million and the Premier League club would be reluctant to sell, having signed it only last summer. Gibson only made an appearance in the Premier League after struggling to return to the team after a hernia operation.

Here is the story of Jamie Jackson on the possible move of Marouane Fellaini in China:

Jürgen Klopp has presented an optimistic update on the fitness of Virgil van Dijk before the Leicester match tomorrow. Liverpool's central defender has been sick since returning from a training camp in Dubai last week, but was back on the field with the Melwood squad on Tuesday.

"Virg was a little sick but he trained yesterday. He's going to train today and then we'll see, "Klopp said. Klopp had a number of injury problems, but most short-term problems were resolved just in time. "Dejan (hamstring) is fine. Gini (Wijnaldum) trained, Fabinho will train today. Trent (Alexander-Arnold) is getting closer and closer – looks very positive – but will not be ready for tomorrow. "

Virg?

And here is the story of the possible loan transfer from Denis Suárez to Arsenal. He is getting closer to the gunners' fans.

Chelsea's board badured Maurizio Sarri that Callum Hudson-Odoi would not be sold during the summer transfer period, let alone before Thursday's deadline, after rejecting the player's transfer request this month.

Hudson-Odoi hoped to travel to Bayern Munich, which had submitted several offers of up to £ 35 million for the services rendered by the 18-year-old. The director of Chelsea, Marina Granovskaia, told her that her request had been rejected. . The young graduate played and scored against Sheffield on Wednesday in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday and is part of the group for tomorrow's Premier League match against AFC Bournemouth.

Chelsea now has four months to convince a player who is with him since the age of seven and who is committed until 2020 to sign a new long-term contract with the club. "I know the club has said that in this window it will definitely stay with us," said Sarri. "Most likely also in the next. So, we are really very happy with that. As I said, it improves on the pitch and it represents the future of our club and English football.

"I'm not frustrated (with the situation). On the field, he is very good: very good training, very good in the matches. So, I am really very happy with him. I'm not happy with the situation, of course, but I know very well that every big team here in England has the same problem. It's not easy to keep these young players. He is of course one of the best young people in Europe, so it is very difficult.

"But, as I have already said, the club told me that it was out of the market. And, probably, it will be out of the market in July too. I do not know (if he'll be happy with that), but I can say what I see in the field. He is fantastic on the field right now. "

Samuel Jones writes: "It may be my former interlocutor attracted by the Panini, but I would like to see more exchanges taking place at La Sanchez / Mkhitaryan. I am sure that Arsenal fans would like an Ozil / Perisic exchange for the moment. "I'm not sure Inter fans would like Sam, but yes, you're right, more swaps please."

Mauricio Pochettino's lack of optimism about signatures would mean that the Spurs may not be serious contenders for Yuri Tielemans' signature. Leicester reportedly had talks about a potential £ 23 million contract for the Monegasque player. This means that foxes could be back in the driving seat.

Personally, I think he should sign for Fortuna Düsseldorf, whose fans should adopt a song at this number:

Mauricio Pochettino spoke of his badertion that silverware would only be used to "build an ego" in Tottenham. He explains that "egos" may not be as strong in Spanish as it is in English.

I know now that talking about ego is a negative expression in England, maybe in other countries we are talking about its more superficial character. That's because in the past I was asked if winning a national cup would help the club up. To win a Carabao Cup or FA Cup reach the next level, I can not accept. I just wanted to say how far we have come in recent years. I want to win cups. I am not naive. It's difficult for me because after three or four seasons, we always talk about cuts. Of course I want to build my resume with winning titles. I am the first who wants to win. I think in the last five years we have played four semi-finals and one final. If you ask me how to be at the next level, we are improving our structure, our way of working, our team, our facilities. We are pigs almost all the boxes. Fans who are not happy, with a future perspective, will appreciate all that everyone does for this football club.

The question Spurs fans want to know is: Will the Spurs sign anyone then?

You know how we work. The last minute, anything can happen. You know different players who may be leaving the club, we will have to see. I was very optimistic about some signature options, but today – no. I am not optimistic.

The more it changes, Mauricio.

Did Marouane Fellaini play his last match for Manchester United? The 31 – year – old midfielder has been tied to a big big money in the Chinese Super League, despite Ole Gunnar Solskjær 's expectation that all of his players will remain in action. January. Fellaini is still recovering from a calf injury and should not be involved in tonight's game in Burnley.

Callum Hudson-Odoi has learned that Chelsea will not sell until Thursday's transfer deadline – or during the summer. The 18-year-old is out of contract in June 2020 and has been linked to a £ 35 million transfer to Bayern Munich. On Monday, Chelsea reportedly rejected a transfer request from Hudson-Odoi, with head coach Maurizio Sarri reiterating his position on Tuesday.

About Callum Hudson-Odoi, Sarri replied:

As you know, I do not have the power to sign new contracts here. On the pitch, I'm really happy with him. I know the club has said that in this window it will definitely stay with us. Most likely also in the next. So, we are really very happy with that. As I said, it improves on the pitch and it represents the future of our club and English football.

What does Sarri think of the Hudson-Odoi situation? Frustrated? Irritated?

I'm not frustrated In the field, he is very good: very good training, very good in the matches. So, I am really very happy with him. I'm not happy with the situation, of course, but I know very well that every big team here in England has the same problem. It's not easy to keep these young players. He is of course one of the best young people in Europe, so it is very difficult. But, as I have already said, the club told me that it was off the market, of course. And, probably, it will be out of the market in July too. I do not know (if he'll be happy with that), but I can say what I see in the field. He is fantastic on the field right now. "

Sarri is questioned about Chelsea's forgotten man, Danny Drinkwater. Does he always train with the first team?

Yes of course. He is with us right now. As you know very well, because I told you my opinion about this player, he is a very good player. But I think it's more appropriate to play with two midfielders. He is not a central midfielder, he is not a center-right midfielder with three players. But he is a very good player in 4-4-2.

Can Sarri see him play at Chelsea?

Not for the moment, but I want to wait until the end of the market. Then I will try with each player.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is confident that the contract with Chicago Fire midfielder Matt Polster will be finalized by the transfer deadline on Thursday. "It could be announced at any time," Gerrard said. "He went to France to obtain the application for a complete work permit. Gerrard confirmed that Jordan Rossiter, 21, was in talks with several clubs to get a loan. "There is a good and strong possibility that it is loaned. He speaks to a number of clubs and we hope to get him out, for the boys' sake, to go play and get regular games. He missed a lot of football, so I hope to find the right solution to allow Jordan to get more playing time. This could be announced in the next few days. I do not expect anyone else to go anywhere else. "

Denis Suárez tries to force through a loan move to Arsenal. The 25-year-old midfielder has played just two La Liga matches with the Spanish champions and is looking forward to playing football again. Negotiations between Barcelona and Arsenal are at an advanced stage for a loan agreement with an option to buy the player for 25 million euros.

Álvaro Morata spoke to the press about his official unveiling at Atlético Madrid. A video presentation shows a picture of him as a child wearing an Atlético jersey, then the player explains how he is looking forward to playing in the club where he was born.

There was no need to convince me to come. Life takes many turns, but I'm here and I'm looking forward to coaching with my teammates under Cholo. I feel like part of this club again. I do not feel like a new player, my teammates have written to me during these weeks when nothing has been confirmed. That made me happy and very proud too.

On playing with Diego Costa:

Diego is a long time teammate with Spain, a great player and a good friend. I spoke with him when I had difficult moments, too. Why can not we play together? I can not wait to see him at workout, it's sure he's going to make jokes.

Morata was not asked about Chelsea, but about what he thought of facing his old clubs, Real Madrid and Juventus, in his first two home games.

Diego is a long time teammate with Spain, a great player and a good friend. I spoke with him when I had difficult moments, too. Why can not we play together? I can not wait to see him at workout, it's sure he's going to make jokes. "

It's lunch time, so why not spend a few minutes with David Squires' cartoon, in which Marko Arnautovic looks delighted to stay in West Ham. Oh that's good. It's always good.

Jonny Castro Otto, borrower, has so impressed the wolves that they are ready to part with a club record equivalent to 18 million pounds for the Spanish half-defender and that they are in. Talks with Atletico Madrid to make the contract permanent. The 24-year-old has never played for his parent club, he had joined Celta Vigo last summer for £ 6.8m.

Internazionale are not interested in signing Mesut Özil Arsenal at the moment. The playmaker has been badociated with a £ 25 million potential transfer into the Serie A club, but if Arsenal is to see the player go into that slot, he will have to do it to another contender, otherwise he will have to to be pay the full salary of Özil to facilitate the transfer. possible move to the Inter. The 30-year-old playmaker, who earns about £ 350,000 a week, is not a regular on the Unai Emery's Arsenal team and has seemed disruptive at times this season.

Grant Leadbitter returns to his former land after leaving Middlesbrough and signed a two and a half year contract at Sunderland. "I'm absolutely delighted to be back, I'm buzzing. When you are a born Sunderland fan and you have the opportunity to come back to the football club, I would never say no, I can tell you. "Leadbitter of Aston Villa and Blackburn have sparked interest. but the chance to go home shot the ropes of the old romantic. In five years, I imagine Jordan Henderson will do the same.

Feed after Wolves signed Danny Batth, spending £ 9 million on Burnley Sam Vokes. Fees still have to be agreed but discussions between the two clubs are underway and it is expected that Vokes, who turned 29 in October and has been going back and forth with the Burnley team this season, will complete his moving to Stoke.

Maurizio Sarri's desire to get a replacement for the late Cesc Fàbregas may now be frustrated by the situation. Chelsea reluctant to recruit a midfielder this month for fear of disturbing the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mason Mount and Ethan Ampadu.

Chelsea, who has seen Callum Hudson-Odoi energetically pursue Bayern Munich over the past month, wishes to offer his young graduates the encouragement of realizing their ambitions at Stamford Bridge, particularly with the prospect of a ban on transfer from Fifa. on the club. Hudson-Odoi had been up to make a written transfer request in person to the manager, Marina Granovskaia, this weekend, with the aim of forcing her move to Bayern, but it has since been announced that she was not allowed to go to Bayern. it would not be sold in January.

Instead, Premier League players will hope to use the next four months to convince the teenager that he will play regularly with the team first – he has not started a match yet. Championship for the club – in the hope of signing a new long-term contract. long-term agreement. His current contract expires in 2020. Chelsea has the same attitude towards Loftus-Cheek and Ampadu, whose talent they hope to exploit, and fears to follow up on their initial interest in Nicolo Barella in Cagliari or Leandro Paredes of Zenit St Petersburg. disturbed the youngest. Paredes has since joined Paris Saint-Germain for £ 45m.

The hopes of Mount are also impressive and have earned him an impressive performance at the Derby County Championship loan this season. He earned his first call to Gareth Southgate's full English squad in the fall. The future of Michy Batshuayi – who has returned from a loan in Valencia, but who has seen his move to AS Monaco fail – Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta remains uncertain.

From Bournemouth Tyrone Mings is a wanted man, with Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion and Nottingham Forest all trying to sign the 25-year-old on loan until the end of the season. An agreement will almost certainly be concluded with any of these three championship clubs in the next 48 hours. Bournemouth is ready to let Mings borrow as a result of Brentford's Chris Mepham signing, but the stumbling block for the moment lies in the financial demands of the Premier League club. In the current state of affairs, Villa seems to be the favorite of Mings, the Bournemouth club record holder when he joined Ipswich Town in June 2015 for £ 9 million. County Derby have also expressed interest, but must unload the players before they can consider bringing in someone else.

FulhamThe pursuit of defensive recruits can lead them to formalize their interest in the underused Crystal Palace system. Scott Dann before the transfer deadline of Thursday. The half-center, a pillar of the palace since arriving in Blackburn for around £ 3.5 million five years ago, until suffering a serious knee injury in December 2017, was excellent alongside Martin Kelly at the victory Sunday in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Tottenham Hotspur. However, both defenders are behind James Tomkins and Mamadou Sakho regarding Premier League football at Selhurst Park.

Although Dann does not actively move for a move, he wants a more regular playing time, which could make Fulham's interest attractive. The team of Claudio Ranieri already has two players on loan from rival clubs: Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Calum Chambers from Manchester United and Arsenal, respectively. It would therefore be necessary to buy the 31-year-old player, while Palace should look to get over £ 10m for a contracted player until 2020 when he was considering selling to a rival of relegation. Dann earns around £ 65,000 a week.

Fulham had been planned to secure Gary Cahill from Chelsea, who were prepared to borrow the captain of their club for the last six months of his contract before he left for a free transfer this summer, in recognition of his seven years of service to the club. However, the financial conditions offered by the club's current 19th division have been deemed unacceptable by the former English defender.

Palace also watched Cahill, who worked in the national setup under Roy Hodgson, notably as a potential substitute for Dann, but would not be able to guarantee him a guaranteed playing time given the impressive form of Tomkins and Sakho. Their interest situation could be restored in the summer, as Cahill is about to start the season on the sidelines of Chelsea.

Did Idrissa Gueye apply for a transfer to Everton or not? The club has denied the opposite, but reports arriving Monday night suggest he would have written to the powers that begged him to let him go after postponing an offer of 21.5 million pounds. PSG. He is certainly an important defensive presence in the central midfield, but Marco Silva has still not found the right formula for his hard work to be rewarded. Tom Davies would certainly benefit if Gueye left. His progress was halted this season after an impressive 18-month increase.

Some disturbing news for Liverpool fans now. Virgil Van Dijk has not been trained since returning from a training camp in hot weather in Dubai, where he fell ill. L’arrière central dominant n’a pas manqué un match en Premier League depuis janvier dernier, mais il a de sérieux doutes à faire face à Leicester. Dejan Lovren est de nouveau en forme, et pourrait se retrouver aux côtés de Joel Matip si Van Dijk ne se rétablit pas à temps.

Juan Mata pourrait-il être attrapé avant la fermeture de la fenêtre? Il est entendu que Manchester United a offert une prolongation de contrat de 12 mois au jeune homme de 30 ans, s’engageant ainsi à payer environ 130 000 £ par semaine, soit 6,8 m £ au total, afin de ne pas le perdre gratuitement en été. Mais si l'ailier autrefois astucieux et le mec sympa qui s'est fait remarquer au fond des coulisses sous Ole Gunnar Solskjær choisit d'ignorer les liquidités offertes, cela pourrait attirer une offre sournoise d'un club intéressé. Juventus and Barcelone auraient été reniflant autour. Ne semble pas surpris. Le Barça a signé Kevin-Prince Boateng, pour l'amour du ciel!

Quelques nouvelles du championnat, où Stoke a terminé la signature de Danny Batth des Wolves. L'arrière central de 28 ans effectue le court trajet au nord après l'échange de 3 millions de livres entre les clubs. Le manager de Stoke, Nathan Jones, a déclaré: «Danny est un leader dominant. Il a un excellent pedigree après avoir été promu avec les loups la saison dernière. Je pense que l'environnement doit être rafraîchi avec de nouvelles recrues et c'est exactement ce que Danny fera. »Pendant ce temps, Batth a révélé que Benik Afobe l'avait séduit. «J'ai réussi à avoir quelques minutes avec Benik au téléphone. J’ai joué deux fois avec lui dans différents sorts chez Wolves – je le connais très bien et nous sommes restés en contact. Il a beaucoup parlé du club et de ce que le nouveau manager tente de faire. "

Good morning readers! The clock keeps ticking down towards the transfer deadline at 11pm GMT on Thursday and clubs have so far been reluctant to do much business. PSG have been active this morning – the French champions have completed the transfer of Leandro Paredes from Zenit St Petersburg for £34.7m. Chelsea had been linked with the 24-year-old midfielder as a replacement for Cesc Fàbregas, but they will have to look elsewhere now and, as mentioned in The Rumour Mill, Barcelona’s Ivan Rakitic is on their radar. Another midfielder who is reportedly the subject of interest from Premier League clubs including Leicester and Tottenham Hotspur, is Monaco’s 21-year-old Belgium international Youri Tielelmans. His relationship with the returning Leonardo Jardim is frosty, by all accounts, and he wants out. A loan deal is most likely. And we’ll keep an eye on Ivan Perisic too, who Inter say they haven’t received an offer for despite strong interest from Arsenal, who may have to stump up £35m for the forward. He’s 30 this Saturday. That doesn’t seem likely.
