Transfer news live: Liverpool hijack Chelsea’s move for Jacquet, Alvarez to Arsenal, Mateta medical

Everton have asked to take Chelsea forward Tyrique George on loan with an option to buy, per the Daily Mail.

They face competition from Premier League rivals Sunderland for his signature.

On the chance of Everton adding a signing before the deadline, David Moyes replied: “Yes I do [think there’s a chance]. But don't have a big headline saying he thinks it's coming because it might not and then we disappoint people.”

Crystal Palace have bid Palace bid €40m for Club Brugge centre-back Joel Ordonez in an effort to replace Marc Guehi before the end of the transfer window, The Independent understands.

The bid, however, has been rejected by the Belgian club.

Ordonez was previously linked with Liverpool in the January window, though the links were far from concrete.

Thomas Frank has asserted that Tottenham are still in the transfer market ahead of tomorrow’s deadline.

"I have plenty of support,” he said. “We are definitely still in the market. We hit a little bit hard with injuries but let's see."

Liverpool have agreed a £55m deal with Rennes for centre-back Jeremy Jacquet.

The 20-year-old, who was a Chelsea target, will move to Anfield in the summer after Liverpool agreed a fee with the French club.

It could rise to £60m including add-ons and would make Jacquet the second most expensive defender in Liverpool’s history, after Virgil van Dijk.

Besiktas have asked about West Ham goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, according to the Daily Mail.

The 25-year-old was signed from Leicester City for £20m last summer but has struggled for form and has not been favoured by Nuno Espírito Santo.

He has made just five appearances and Besiktas are asking for a loan with option to buy.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner refused to get involved with transfer talk following his side’s 1-1 draw with 10-man Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Jean-Philippe Mateta was not in the Palace squad amid reports that he is on his way to AC Milan to be replaced by Jorgen Strand Larsen moving from Wolves to Selhurst Park.

When asked about transfers, Glasner said his only focus was on the match.

He said: “I don’t know. I just told you before in all the interviews, told the board. I don’t want to talk about the transfers today because I want to focus on the game, this group of players.

“I know Adam Wharton, Daichi Kamada and Evann Guessand will be training tomorrow and hopefully available for Brighton next Sunday.

“Then we have a clear agreement and commitment it will be JP Mateta or somebody else. I don’t know how the situation is.

“But if JP leaves, a striker, a number nine comes in and then let’s see what’s happening but I would prefer not to talk the day before deadline day so much about transfers.

“My wish would be everything is sorted two weeks ago so we can train, we can focus and develop. I spoke to my staff this week, we have to make a step backwards.”

Brighton’s Tommy Watson is set to join Millwall until the end of the season, according to The Athletic.

Watson scored the winner for Sunderland in last season’s play-off final but has made just six Premier League appearances for the Seagulls this term.

Oleksandr Zinchenko has left Arsenal to join Ajax on a permanent transfer.

The Ukraine left-back had been at Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan.

That deal was ended by mutual consent, with the 29-year-old instead moving to the Netherlands to join the Eredivisie side.

Arsenal said: "We thank Alex for his contribution to the club and wish him and his family well in their new chapter."

Napoli have renewed their interest in Jadon Sancho and are weighing up a summer move.

Corriere dello Sport add that the United loanee is one name on a five-strong shortlist.

Real Betis' Abde Ezzalzouli, OGC Nice's Jeremie Boga, Atalanta's Daniel Maldini and Sassuolo's Armand Lauriente are the other names listed.

Sunderland keeper Anthony Patterson has joined Millwall on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 25-year-old, who will be reunited with former Black Cats boss Alex Neil with the Sky Bet Championship club, has made 169 appearances for the Wearside club and was a member of the side which won the Championship play-off final at Wembley last season to secure a return to the Premier League after an eight-year absence.

However, summer signing Robin Roefs has been Regis Le Bris' number one so far this season and Patterson has made just a single appearance, in August's Carabao Cup second round defeat by Huddersfield.

Sunderland's sporting director Kristjaan Speakman said: "Anthony has been a standout performer for us in recent seasons, and it's important for him to maintain regular playing time at this stage in his career.

"Although Robin's quick transition and impressive performances have reduced his opportunities, he's continued to train at a high level, and this loan provides the necessary platform for him to continue developing his game."
