Transfer rumours: Solanke to Newcastle, Ngonge to Nottingham Forest, Adams to Wolves

Newcastle United have reportedly made an enquiry about the availability of Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.

Eddie Howe has been a long-standing admirer of Solanke and was responsible for bringing the striker to the club during his time at the Vitality Stadium.

The Magpies are currently without the services of England international Callum Wilson, who is expected to remain sidelined until the end of the month with a calf injury, leaving Alexander Isak as the only recognised striker in the first team.

According to The Telegraph, Newcastle are looking to bolster their attacking depth and have made an enquiry about Solanke but have been told by Bournemouth that he will not be sold this month.

Joe Hugill signs new contract at Manchester United

Manchester United have announced that Joe Hugill has signed a new deal with the club until 2026.

The 20-year-old is yet to make his first-team debut for the Red Devils, but he has been in their squad on four occasions this season, including twice in the Champions League.

Hugill was an unused substitute against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup on Monday evening, and it is believed that he has impressed Man United head coach Erik ten Hag during training sessions.

The forward is widely expected to leave Old Trafford on loan before the end of the January transfer window, but he has signed a new contract with the club, which will run until June 2026 and also include the option of an additional 12 months.

Will Timo Werner prove to be a good signing for Spurs?

Tottenham Hotspur surprised many by swooping for Timo Werner this month, with the striker joining on loan from RB Leipzig on Tuesday.

Still only 27, Werner has experience of the Premier League from his time at Chelsea, which is widely seen as an unsuccessful spell despite him helping the Blues to Champions League glory during his Stamford Bridge stint.

Tottenham have the option to make Werner's loan deal permanent at the end of the season too - a possibility which may well depend on how he performs during the second half of the season.

With Harry Kane now long gone and no direct replacement brought in last summer, Spurs will be expecting the Germany international to add another goal threat to a front line which also includes Son Heung-min, Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski, amongst others.

River Plate chief confirms Echeverri move to Man City

River Plate sporting director Enzo Francescoli has confirmed that highly-rated midfielder Claudio Echeverri is set to join Manchester City next year.

The treble winners are believed to have struck a deal to sign the 18-year-old for a £21.7m fee, and he will commit his future to Pep Guardiola's side for the next six years.

Echeverri will be following a similar path to Julian Alvarez, who also swapped River Plate for the Etihad but spent another six months on loan with the Argentinian side in the second half of the 2021-22 campaign.

Echeverri's contract with River Plate only runs until the end of the calendar year, leading to anger from fans that the club did not tie the midfielder down to a long-term deal with a hefty release clause.

Tottenham 'to target new midfielder after Dragusin signing'

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly intend to press ahead with plans to sign a new midfielder once Radu Dragusin's arrival from Genoa has been made official.

The 21-year-old's agent has confirmed that Dragusin has snubbed a higher wage offer from German champions Bayern Munich in order to join the Lilywhites, and he flew to London for a medical earlier on Wednesday.

Confirmation of Dragusin's switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is expected to arrive in the coming hours, and he will become Spurs' second signing of the winter window after RB Leipzig loanee Timo Werner.

Postecoglou made no secret of his desire to bolster his backline in January, having seen both of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven sidelined by hamstring problems, sometimes forcing him to deploy a rearguard quartet comprising only full-backs.

Fred Onyedinma returns to Luton after Rotherham loan

"The 27-year-old joined the Millers in the summer and made 19 appearances in all competitions before an injury sustained in the warm-up at Hull City curtailed his momentum at AESSEAL New York Stadium and has ruled him out of first team action ever since.

Liverpool 'in talks to recall Calvin Ramsay from Preston loan'

Liverpool are reportedly in talks with Preston North End over prematurely terminating the loan deal of right-back Calvin Ramsay.

The Reds' defensive injury crisis worsened in their 2-0 FA Cup third-round win over Arsenal at the weekend, where it was revealed that Trent Alexander-Arnold had hyperextended his knee.

Assistant manager Pep Lijnders has confirmed that Alexander-Arnold will be sidelined for "a few weeks", joining fellow full-backs Andrew Robertson (shoulder) and Kostas Tsimikas (collarbone) on the sidelines.

Neither Robertson nor Tsimikas are expected to return to first-team action before February, and their absences have forced Jurgen Klopp to deploy Joe Gomez as an emergency left-back, a role he has taken on well in recent weeks.

Radu Dragusin agent confirms defender rejected Bayern to join Tottenham

The agent of Genoa centre-back Radu Dragusin has confirmed that the 21-year-old is set to sign for Tottenham Hotspur and admits that he was in disbelief when his client turned down the chance to move to Bayern Munich.

The Romania international is due to touch down in London on Wednesday in order to complete his Tottenham medical, and confirmation of his move to the Premier League could supposedly arrive within a matter of hours.

Tottenham faced competition from Napoli and Bayern Munich for the services of Dragusin, with the German champions doing their best to hijack a move late on Tuesday evening, only to see their advances rejected.

Tottenham Hotspur's hastened search for a new centre-back is finally about to bear fruit, as the Lilywhites are on the verge of completing a deal to sign Genoa's Radu Dragusin.

Despite the best efforts of Italian champions Napoli and Bundesliga title-holders Bayern Munich - who failed with a last-minute hijack for the 21-year-old's services - Dragusin's agent has confirmed that the defender has chosen to advance his career in North London.

Dragusin was pictured at an airport in Italy on Wednesday morning as he flies in to complete his €30m (£25.8m) move, which could supposedly be announced within a matter of hours so long as he passes his medical with flying colours.

Man United, Dortmund 'reach agreement over Sancho move'

Manchester United have reportedly given permission for Jadon Sancho to undergo a medical at Borussia Dortmund, with the attacker set to return to his former club on loan.

The Englishman initially represented Dortmund between 2017 and 2021, turning out for the club on 137 occasions in all competitions, scoring 50 goals and registering 64 assists in the process.

The attacker's excellent form led to Man United signing him in the summer of 2021, but a difficult spell at Old Trafford has seen him manage just 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances.

Sancho has only featured on three occasions for the Red Devils this term, meanwhile, due to a falling-out with head coach Erik ten Hag, and he is now preparing to leave the club, albeit on a temporary basis.

Sancho has not been involved in the first-team environment at the club for some time, and he is now seemingly preparing to return to Dortmund on loan for the second half of the campaign.

Barcelona coaching staff 'having doubts over permanent Felix deal'

Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer has admitted that he spent the majority of the summer transfer window wanting to remain at Manchester City.
