Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United 'all considering Callum Wilson moves'

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all reportedly been alerted by the potential availability of Newcastle United forward Callum Wilson in the closing days of the January transfer window.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea are looking for upgrades in the final third of the field, while Man United currently only have one fit centre-forward in the shape of Rasmus Hojlund, with Anthony Martial, who has been missing since December 9, ruled out for another 10 weeks following a groin operation.

Wilson's future is currently being called into question, with Atletico Madrid believed to be keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding his future.

According to the London Evening Standard, Newcastle might sell Wilson for £18m in the final stages of the market, which has attracted the attention of Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United.

Al-Nassr 'eyeing moves for Man United duo Casemiro, Wan-Bissaka'

Al-Nassr are reportedly keen on signing Manchester United duo Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka during this summer's transfer window.

Casemiro has a contract at Old Trafford until June 2026, with the option of a further 12 months, but there is currently widespread speculation surrounding his future in Manchester.

The 31-year-old has struggled with injuries during the 2023-24 campaign, being restricted to just 12 appearances in all competitions, but he was back on the bench against Tottenham Hotspur last time out.

Casemiro is in line to feature against Newport County in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday, and despite a host of transfer talk, he will not be on the move before the January window closes.

Craig Halkett signs new Hearts deal

"It's another bit of really positive news that Halks has signed a new contract to stay at the club," said manager Steven Naismith.

"Aside from his obvious ability, he's a leader and well-respected inside the dressing room. He had a torrid time of it last season with injuries and you could see that his presence on the pitch was missed as the team went through a tough period.

"I'm delighted that he's back in the first team picture and getting more and more minutes under his belt. His form prior to his injuries was excellent, which was proven with a Scotland call up, and I'm confident that Halks will be able to reach those levels again as he works back to full fitness. From there, he'll get better and better as we continue a busy run of games."

Sporting director Joe Savage added: "We've been working really hard to get these deals once so I'm really happy to get another over the line.

"We want to keep our best players at the club so that the manager has as many options as possible on the pitch, and also to protect the club's assets.

"Halks is a very experienced player and having been here for four years he gets Hearts, knows the demands of the club and what it takes to be successful here.

"From my side, the dialogue with other players continues and, once again, I'm hopeful that some more good news is on the horizon."

Antony agent firmly denies Manchester United exit rumours

The agent of Manchester United forward Antony has insisted that there have been no discussions over a possible move for his client either this month or at the end of the campaign.

Antony's future is currently being called into question, with the Brazil international finding it difficult to impress since arriving from Ajax in the summer of 2022.

The 23-year-old is yet to register a goal or an assist in 22 appearances this season, while he has only managed eight goals and three assists in 66 outings for the club in all competitions.

There were suggestions earlier this month that Antony could leave Old Trafford on loan, while a recent report claimed that Man United were hoping to sell the winger to the Saudi Pro League this summer.

PSG sign Brazilian teen Gabriel Moscardo

"I'm very happy to be joining Paris Saint-Germain; this is one of the best days of my life. It's a project with some talented young players in it," Moscardo said.

"I'm looking forward to joining up with the squad and to meeting the team and the coaching staff, and I hope to win many trophies with Les Rouge et Bleu and to make the fans happy."

Carlisle sign Jack Diamond on loan from Sunderland

"I'm delighted to get a player of Jack's ability into the building. He's a player who we hope will come in, create and score goals for us and bring some exciting forward play to the group," said manager Paul Simpson.

"Jack has had a long period without playing games but his fitness levels are excellent. It will take him a few games to get up to match pace but I'm excited to see him be part of our team."

Chief executive Nigel Clibbens added: "We would like to give Jack a very warm welcome to Brunton Park and Carlisle United. As he joins us, it is important for us to set out the club's position on Jack's recent acquittal.

"It is a matter of public record and widespread media reporting that Jack has recently faced prosecution and charges at a Crown Court trial, with all the headlines and intense public scrutiny that brings. That has overshadowed the last two years of his personal life and career.

"Following the conclusion of that judicial process in early January 2024, a jury at Newcastle Crown Court found him not guilty of all the charges after an extremely short deliberation.

"After being cleared, he then returned to Sunderland to resume his football career. This is now an opportunity for Jack to move forward in his life after an extremely challenging period. He can now return to football again, and do what he does best.

"We want to emphasise our ongoing support to him now and in the season ahead, as he looks forward to the future with Carlisle United.

"We recognise the judicial process has been followed. Having been subject to the law of the land, tried in front of a jury and acquitted, he is now able to move on.

"We want to help him do that. We believe this is the right thing to do, and that our fans will support this and give Jack their full support too."

Man City confirm Claudio Echeverri signing

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Claudio Echeverri from River Plate, who will retain the midfielder's services until January 2025.

The Premier League and Champions League holders have agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal with the 18-year-old until the end of the 2027-28 season and are understood to have paid an initial £12.5m for his services.

The fee could rise to as much as £21.7m with performance-related add-ons, and Echeverri has become the Citizens' first signing of the January transfer window, although he will spend the upcoming campaign back in his native Argentina.

Echeverri has only made fleeting appearances for the River Plate first team so far, playing six times in the 2023 season - where his side won the Liga Profesional title Argentinian Cup - and registering one assist.

Lille president rules out January exit for Liverpool, Man Utd-linked Yoro

Lille president Olivier Letang has insisted that teenage defender Leny Yoro is not for sale in January amid links with several European heavyweights.

At just 18 years of age, Yoro has already established himself as a crucial player in the heart of Paulo Fonseca's backline, making 40 appearances for Lille in all tournaments.

The 2005-born centre-back has come up with three goals and one assist for Les Dogues in that time, with two of those strikes coming in 17 Ligue 1 appearances during the 2023-24 season.

Yoro has been named in the first XI in each of Lille's last 16 top-flight affairs, helping the 2020-21 champions keep nine clean sheets thanks to a spate of eye-catching defensive performances.

"Luke spent time at Plymouth Argyle and Swindon before moving to Scotland and St Johnstone. I've known him for a while and have recognised his qualities for a long time, so I think it's a great addition to the squad.

"He's eager to get going, he'll strengthen our front-line and we really look forward to working with Luke in the future."

Nathan Lowe signs new four-and-a-half-year Stoke deal

"It has been a great year but I am solely focused on writing the next chapter," he said.

"It is nice to reflect, and the feeling of scoring the winner at Bristol City was indescribable. It is an emotion I am determined to experience again and again.

"I am so hungry for more opportunities and to impress every time I get onto the pitch.

"I firmly believe in the opportunity I have here and I am looking forward to seeing where the journey takes me next."

Technical director Ricky Martin added: "On and off the pitch, Nathan is a role model and inspiration for others to follow in the Academy programme.

"He has earned every opportunity he's been given and it is testament to Nathan's character that he has taken on every challenge with such composure and become a regular in matchday squads so early in his professional career.

"It is important for us to develop high-quality homegrown players with increasing regularity moving forward and to provide them with a pathway into our first team.

"The offer of a four-and-a-half-year contract signifies the confidence we have in Nathan to continue his development and enjoy sustained success as a Stoke City player."

Transfer rumours: O'Riley to Atletico, Wharton to Palace, Sheaf to Luton

Atletico Madrid have reportedly made an offer for Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley.

The 23-year-old has been in impressive form for his Scottish club during the 2023-24 campaign, making 29 appearances in all competitions, scoring 10 goals and registering 12 assists in the process.

There has been a host of speculation surrounding his future this month, with Girona and Inter Milan both believed to have contacted Celtic to register their interest.

According to Sky Sports News, Atletico have now submitted an offer, with the Red and Whites wanting to sign O'Riley on loan for the rest of the season, and an obligation to buy could be included in the deal.

Liverpool 'make Marc Guehi top transfer target'

Liverpool are reportedly giving serious consideration to making an approach for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in the summer.

Jurgen Klopp's side currently hold a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League standings, albeit having played one game more than Manchester City.

Furthermore, the Merseyside giants possess the best defensive record in the division, conceding 18 times in 21 matches, yet speculation persists regarding changes to the squad at the end of the season.

Much focus is being placed on the future of Mohamed Salah when the Egypt international has 18 months remaining on his contract, but signing a new centre-back remains towards the top of Klopp's to-do list.

Man United 'not expected to sign Martial replacement in January'

Manchester United are reportedly not looking to sign a new forward during the January transfer window.

The Red Devils have just endured a disappointing first half of the campaign, most notably being eliminated from the Champions League after finishing at the bottom of their group.

While 10 wins have been posted in 21 Premier League fixtures, Erik ten Hag has also overseen nine defeats and witnessed his team score only 24 goals.

As a result, speculation has persisted that a new attacker may be acquired before the end of the month to provide competition for Rasmus Hojlund.

Chelsea 'set new asking price for Romelu Lukaku'

Chelsea have reportedly set Romelu Lukaku's asking price at €43m (£36.81m) ahead of the summer transfer window.

After a £97.5m transfer from Inter Milan in 2021, the hope behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge was that they had resolved their issues in the final third.

Instead, a falling out with Thomas Tuchel led to Lukaku looking for a move elsewhere after scoring 15 goals from 44 appearances in his first campaign.

However, the size of the fee and the Belgium international's wages has meant that co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital - who were not at the helm when Lukaku was signed - have struggled to attract a suitable offer.
