Transfer news LIVE: Liverpool consider bold Kvaratskhelia bid, Man City close in on Marmoush, Man Utd latest

Arsenal are interested in a move for Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini say Italian publication La Repubblica.

The Italy midfielder could be on the move in this transfer window, with interest also there from Inter Milan and Napoli.

Arsenal’s interest lays in future planning for their midfield with the 28-year-old an experienced leader who may come at a low cost.

Manchester City are interested in Brazilian centre-back Vitor Reis as they start to plan for the future of their defence.

The Premier League champions hope to bring the 18-year-old to the Etihad Stadium while Palmeiras want €40m for the prospect.

City are also keen to sign another young centre-back, the 20-year-old Uzbekistan international Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens.

Their squad only contains two defenders they have bought in the last four years, in Josko Gvardiol and Manuel Akanji, and manager Pep Guardiola has had a host of centre-back injuries this season.

Right-back Kyle Walker turns 35 in May while central defender John Stones is 30, with both Akanji and Nathan Ake having their 30th birthdays later this year and City have started to turn their attention towards the next generation of defenders.

Wolves have strengthened this month after confirming the signing of Ivorian centre-back Emmanuel Agbadou from Reims.

The 27-year-old arrives at Molineux in a £16.6m deal and becomes an option for new head coach Vitor Pereira.

“Emmanuel’s a winner and he’s driven,” Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs told the club’s website. “After the journey’s had, he’s still unbelievably hungry. He’s the type of player the Wolves fans should love, because you’re going to get absolutely everything he’s got.

“On paper, he should suit the Premier League. There’s plenty of ticks there. Obviously, you’ve always got the settling in period, and it is the hardest league in the world, so it can take time, but he can fall back on his key attributes being akin to the Premier League.

“The fact that he was on ours and Vitor’s lists shows that he’s well rounded, good on the ball, physically excellent, quick and a good personality. Then being made captain of Reims has really taken his game to the next level, and you can never have enough leaders.”

Manchester City’s England Under-21 midfielder James McAtee is keen to move to the Bundesliga, reports the Telegraph.

Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Mainz, Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart are all chasing the 22-year-old.

And after losing Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers in recent seasons, another top prospect looks set to develop away from the Etihad.

Marcus Rashford will have the opportunity to join AC Milan on loan this month, with Ruben Amorim not a fan of the Manchester United forward.

But a stumbling block appears to be Rashford’s wages, which are worth a reported £325,000 per week.

The Times reports the Rossoneri are keen to do a deal but will only match £150,000 per week in line with their top earners, with Alvaro Morata leading the squad.

West Ham have emerged as new contenders in the race for Marcus Rashford.

Rashford has rejected some big-money moves to Saudi Arabia and his camp have been in Italy this week trying to negotiate loan talks with AC Milan.

Rashford has other interest from the likes of Juventus and Borussia Dortmund but his high wages are a sticking point.

talkSPORT now claim that West Ham have asked to be kept informed of developments with Tottenham another Premier League club said to be interested in the developments.

Arsenal winger Marquinhos has returned to Brazil having joined Cruzeiro on loan.

The 21-year-old is on a deal until December, having only recently returned from a year-long loan spell with Fluminense that included an option for a permanent transfer that was not triggered.

“Everyone at the club wishes Marquinhos all the best for his loan spell with Cruzeiro and look forward to seeing his continued development.” Arsenal said in a statement.

Mika Biereth has completed a medical at Monaco ahead of his €13m (£10.8m) move from Sturm Graz.

Arsenal are due to receive a percentage of the deal, as they negotiated a sell-on clause when Biereth left to join the Austrian side last summer.

Arne Slot spoke about Federico Chiesa and when he needs to do to win more more minutes in the Liverpool side. The winger is set to play in Saturday’s FA Cup game against Accrington Stanley in what will be only his fifth appearance of the campaign.

“It’s not only been difficult for him in terms of match fitness, it’s also that he has to compete with the likes of Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah,” said Slot.

“Everybody here knows the numbers Mo Salah brings in. There’s not many times a reason to take him out during a game or before a game.

“It’s not only about Federico when we are talking about him being limited in his playing time. It’s also about the others.

“But in terms of Federico it definitely has to do with the way he came in, the rest were already training a lot and we had to bring him up in terms of match fitness.

“It’s a combination of reasons why he didn’t play that much yet but let’s wait and see in the upcoming weeks and months if he’s able to help us because the second half of the season is even more important than the first.”

ESPN say that Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has been offered to Brazilian side Palmeiras.

The club have reportedly met with the player’s agent to negotiate but there is no offer or proposal at this stage. Jorginho’s contract expires in the summer and the club hold an option to extend his stay for an additional year if they so chose.
