The January window closes at 11pm GMT and before then Liverpool are hoping to sign a centre-back, with Preston defender Ben Davies arriving permanently with Schalke’s Ozan Kabak joining him until the summer. Manchester United are looking to complete final exits with defender Marcos Rojo set to join Boca Juniors in his native Argentina, and Phil Jones and Sergio Romero set to depart in the summer if not today. Arsenal are also facing a decision on a defender’s departure as bids come in for Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Southampton, West Brom, Newcastle and Leicester are all thought to be jostling in the queue for the England international.
Elsewhere Leicester want Watford midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, Paris Saint-Germain’s Idrissa Gueye has rejected a loan move to Newcastle United, and Christian Eriksen’s future remains up in the air with Tottenham interested in securing his services on loan until the end of the season, after last night’s disappointing defeat at Brighton. Newcastle defender DeAndre Yedlin is heading for Galatasaray but Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour is staying put after a U-turn from new boss Thomas Tuchel. And in France, Paris Saint-Germain are interested in taking Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos to join Mauricio Pochettino’s team.

MAN CITY IN TALKS TO SIGN BRAZILIAN DUO
Manchester City have opened discussions with Fluminense over the possible signings of teenagers Kayky and Metinho, according to the Daily Mail.
The Premier League leaders have reportedly outbid Shakhtar Donetsk for the duo, with an offer of £10m for Kayky and £5m for Metinho.
But a deal is “unlikely to be concluded” before today’s deadline, even if City improve on their original £15m offer.
NDOMBELE ‘DISCUSSED’ PSG MOVE
Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has revealed that he “discussed” the possibility of joining Paris Saint-Germain with Kylian Mbappe.
The 24-year-old has impressed at Spurs this season, though things were more difficult during his first term with the club after a big-money move from Lyon in 2019.
“I'm a boy from the Paris region. Wearing the Paris jersey one day? Why not - but today I'm in Tottenham, and it's going well,” Ndombele told Telefoot.
"I spoke with Kylian about a possible coming to PSG. Two or three years in a row we discussed it. It didn't happen and today at Tottenham it's going well, but why not in the future?"
