Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed the signing of 20-year-old centre-back Lucas Beraldo from Sao Paulo.
The 2003-born defender has penned a four-and-a-half-year deal with Les Parisiens until the end of the 2027-28 season and becomes their first signing of the January transfer window.
PSG are believed to have forked out a fixed fee of €20m (£17.4m) with no add-ons to sign Beraldo, who will wear the number 35 shirt during his time at the Parc des Princes.
"I'm really happy to be joining a club as ambitious as Paris Saint-Germain. This is an important step in my career and one that will help me to move forward. I can't wait to get to know my new teammates and to take my first steps in this shirt," Beraldo told the official PSG website.
Chelsea have reportedly sent scouts to run the rule over Girona striker Artem Dovbyk.
The La Liga outfit have made an unforeseen phenomenal start to the 2023-24 campaign, amassing 45 points from their first 18 matches to sit second in the table, only behind Real Madrid on goal difference.
The contributions of Ukrainian attacker Dovbyk have been instrumental in Girona's exceptional start to the new term, with the 26-year-old netting 11 goals and providing five assists in 17 top-flight matches.
Dovbyk sits joint-third in the La Liga scoring charts with Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann, while only Getafe's Borja Mayoral (12) and Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham (13) have netted more.
Seventeen-year-old River Plate starlet Claudio Echeverri has reportedly given the green light to a six-year deal with Manchester City.
The Premier League, European and world champions are understood to have shaken hands with their Argentinian counterparts on a £21.7m deal for Echeverri, who was also on Chelsea and Real Madrid's radar.
Echeverri - who will celebrate his 18th birthday on Tuesday - will remain in his homeland before linking up with Man City in December 2024, and according to Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs are exchanging the paperwork at present.
The journalist adds that Echeverri has agreed a six-year contract at the Etihad Stadium, which will keep him on the books with Pep Guardiola's side until 2030.
Hull City have reportedly verbally agreed a loan deal for Burnley attacker Manuel Benson for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign.
The 26-year-old was one of Vincent Kompany's first signings at Turf Moor in the summer of 2022, joining from Belgian Pro League outfit Royal Antwerp for an undisclosed fee on a four-year contract.
Despite not always featuring in the starting XI, Benson helped the Clarets to the Championship title last campaign, scoring 11 goals and providing three assists in 33 second-tier appearances.
Game time has been even harder to come by for the Belgian this term - although an injury sustained in September is partly to blame - with the winger making just four Premier League appearances for the newly-promoted strugglers.
Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
The Dutchman will spend at least the next six months with the Bundesliga outfit, who are set to pay an undisclosed loan fee while also forking out a large chunk of his pay packet.
Frankfurt are also said to possess the option to sign Van de Beek permanently at the end of the season for €11m (£9.6m), which could rise to €14m (£12.2m) with performance-related add-ons.
Van de Beek's arrival in Germany was hailed by Frankfurt's sporting director Markus Krosche, who told the club's website: "Donny van de Beek fits our game idea perfectly and is an important piece of the puzzle for our team.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Sarr has reportedly agreed a new six-year contract with the North London giants.
The Senegal international burst onto the scene with Metz before penning a permanent deal with Spurs in the summer of 2021, although he spent the 2021-22 season back on loan with Les Grenats.
After linking up with his new Lilywhites teammates at Hotspur Way, Sarr struggled to get into Antonio Conte's good books, finding himself behind Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp and Rodrigo Bentancur in the midfield pecking order.
Sarr made just 17 appearances in his first season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - including a mere two Premier League starts - but he has been given a new lease of life under Ange Postecoglou in 2023-24.
"Tete comes with some great references and done very well from his time spent playing in Finland so I'm pleased to be able to add him to the group," Livingston manager David Martindale told the club's website.
"It's a difficult window to attract players to a club but it has been made even more difficult considering our league position, so it speaks volumes for the player and his attitude that he is embracing the challenge we face as a club.
"I'm really happy that we have managed to bring in a much needed offensive option, albeit I hope that we can add a further player in this area in the window too.
"Ipswich Town have been very helpful and done all they can to help facilitate the transfer. The player comes in with a large sell on for Ipswich Town and a small contingency built in if we can manage to retain our Premiership status next season.
"I want to thank John McIlvogue, John Ward and Dave Black who have all went above and beyond to find the finances for Tete to become a Livingston player in this window."
