Transfer news live: Arsenal want ‘unhappy’ Alvarez, Liverpool target Wharton, Celtic enter race for new striker

Burnley are no longer pursuing a deal for West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse.

Burnley had held talks over a move in this window as Ward-Prowse has not featured under Nuno Espírito Santo.

The Clarets have since pulled out of negotiations.

Some rumours coming out of Stamford Bridge now.

Chelsea are reportedly keen on, not only keeping hold of Cole Palmer, but reuniting him with Morgan Rogers.

Chelsea are reportedly keen to reunite Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers.

TeamTalk say that the two players are long-term friends and Chelsea hold an interest in the Aston Villa star.

Rogers is under contract at Villa until 2031 so any move would cost a lot for Chelsea.

Michael Carrick could hardly have dreamt of a better start to his second spell as Manchester United’s interim manager, but he has passed his first tests with flying colours.

While a derby day win over Manchester City last week left United fans on cloud nine, the club’s 3-2 win over Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday is an even more impressive result, the visitors stunning the league leaders as their fans delighted in a professional, inventive and at times brilliant performance.

Sergio Ramos has reportedly reached an agreement to buy Sevilla.

Ramos first joined Sevilla in 1996, breaking into their first-team in 2004 before joining Real Madrid, and later PSG.

Carrusel Deportivo claims he has reached an agreement in principle to buy out the club’s shareholders, and he has entered an exclusivity period.

Due diligence will now be carried out before a takeover can be confirmed.

Eddie Howe has confirmed that Newcastle will not pursue any new signings in the January transfer window.

He said: "We have the players that we have, and we have to find a solution with those players," he said.

"There’s no point me thinking we need another type of player at this moment because it’s not going to happen.”

Fulham have contacted PSV Eindhoven with a bid worth £28m for striker Ricardo Pepi.

Sky Sports say it would be the second attempt Fulham have made for the USA international, after their £21m bid last January was rejected.

The PSV striker’s contract runs until 2030 but PSV are considering Fulham’s bid.

Everton striker Beto’s move to Fenerbache has collapsed.

The Portuguese had been earmarked as a replacement for Youssef En-Nesyri, who is in talks with Juventus, and his agent was spotted in Istanbul this week.

Everton demanded a fee of €20m (£17.3m) which has led Fenerbahce to move onto other targets.

Crystal Palace are only willing to sanction a permanent exit for Jean-Philippe Mateta in this transfer window.

The Eagles are open to selling the French international if his £35m valuation is met and they can find a suitable replacement.

But, the club are not actively looking to sell their top scorer.

Contract negotiations between Mateta and the club have stalled meaning they would have to consider serious offers. Mateta's contract expires at the end of the 2026/27 season.

Palace are unwilling to entertain any loan options unless there is a permanent element attached.

Fulham manager Marco Silva warned the club must do everything they can to keep Harry Wilson after his eighth Premier League goal of the season beat Brighton.

"We are in the fight, we are trying to keep him," said Silva. "If you ask me if it's going to be easy, I say it's not going to be easy.

"The more he scores, many more clubs are going to be around him. This is football business. When a player goes to the end of his contract, this kind of thing is going to happen.

"I know he's happy in our club and how much he's enjoying the moment. It's up to the club to do the maximum to keep him."

There’s an air of Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer to the beginning of this latest interim era at Manchester United. So much has been talked about the club’s missing “DNA”, whatever that may consist of.

But under the guidance of Michael Carrick, United are winning big games again - something that historically reflects “The Manchester United Way” - and just like under Solskjaer, a player reborn is at the heart of things.

With Solskjaer, that was a 21-year-old Marcus Rashford, revitalised after being misused out wide by Jose Mourinho. With Carrick, it’s Patrick Dorgu.
