Transfer news LIVE: Chelsea target Erling Haaland and David Alaba, Liverpool given Kylian Mbappe boost

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has spoken about the potential of winger Reiss Nelson going out on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 21-year-old has been used primarily in secondary competitions this season, such as the Europa League and League Cup, but hasn’t been used that often in the Premier League.

Nelson has only made two league appearances this campaign, and Arteta has commented on speculation that Nelson could go out on loan until the end of the campaign.

“That's a conversation that we are having with the players that are not having a lot of time," said Arteta.

“Obviously we want to keep their development going and we will make decision in the next three days with some of them on what the best thing is to do.

“We try to be clear and transparent with what the plans are and their roles in the team and after that, we decide on the best thing for the players and the club.”

Tottenham are seeking a reunion with Christian Eriksen as a replacement for Dele Alli, but are struggling to reach an agreement with Inter.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano says that Alli’s move to PSG is being held up until the north London club find a replacement for the Englishman.

Eriksen is one of the names in discussion, but it’s felt that a deal is unlikely due to Inter demanding Tottenham pay 100% of his £300,000 per-week salary.

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has given an update on whether Lucas Torreira’s loan spell at Atletico Madrid will be cut short.

Torreira has struggled since making the move to La Liga last summer on a season-long loan deal.

There had been reports that Arsenal could cut his loan spell short. However Arteta says they are monitoring the situation.

Torreira was signed from Sampdoria for £26m in the summer of 2018, but fell down the pecking order at The Emirates in 2019/20 under Arteta.

Reports in Italy suggest that Roma striker Edin Dzeko has been offered to Manchester Utd in this transfer window.

The Bosnian striker has reportedly fell out with coach Paulo Fonseca, and the striker is struggling for form this season in Serie A.

Both La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Corriere dello Sport speculate that Dzeko’s services have been offered to United.

However, it’s thought that Dzeko’s wage demands, €7m a season, in addition to United being fully stocked in attack, means there is little chance of a deal being done.

It’s also reported that West Ham are interested in Dzeko, but that the 35-year-old wants to play for a side competing for honours.

Dzeko has been in the Italian capital since 2015.

Rangers have completed a pre-contract deal for Bournemouth defender Jack Simpson.

Simpson, 24, is out of contract at the end of the season, and will join Steven Gerrard’s side ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.

Simpson has been at Bournemouth since he was a youth player, having risen through the academy.

He’s made nine appearances for The Cherries in the Championship this season.

West Ham and Manchester United are still in negotiations over Jesse Lingard.

Lingard has been surplus to requirements at Old Trafford for some time, and has only played three games in all competitions under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this season.

According to The Guardian, there is still some distance between the two clubs in negotiations. A loan deal has been mooted.

Lingard’s contract expires at the end of June 2022.

David Moyes has coached the 28-year-old before, dating back to when the Scot took over from Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.

The Hammers are in the market for a new striker after selling Sebastian Haller to Ajax earlier in the window.

RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano won’t leave the German club in the current transfer window, states Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Upamecano has been linked to a whole host of clubs over the last year, with Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City and Bayern Munich all interested in signing the central defender.

Romano states that a deal to sign the defender this month is highly unlikely, and that he will be sold in the summer window.

Sampdoria defender Omar Colley has reportedly spurned advances from Newcastle over a move.

Colley, 28, has been high on Steve Bruce’s list over the last 18 months, but according to Sport Mediaset in Italy, the defender has no intention to leave the Genoese club for a move to England.

Colley signed an extension to stay with Sampdoria until 2025, and intends to honour it, states the report.

French giants Paris Saint-Germain have agreed a loan deal with Tottenham for midfielder Dele Alli, but are waiting on the Premier League side to find a replacement.

Alli has fallen down the pecking order at Spurs since Jose Mourinho’s arrival, and has been rumoured with a reunion with Mauricio Pochettino since the Argentine was announced as PSG’s new manager.

According to a report in France, a deal for Alli has been agreed upon by the clubs.

However it’s believed that Tottenham want a replacement for Alli signed before they release him.

It has been reported that Tottenham made a move for Martin Odegaard, but the Norwegian agreed to join Arsenal.

Tottenham made a last-ditch effort to sign Real Madrid midfielder Martin Odegaard, before he secured his move to London rivals Arsenal.

Odegaard joined The Gunners on loan until the end of the season this week, after rejecting a return to Real Sociedad.

Reports in Norway suggest that Tottenham also made an attempt to sign the 22-year-old at the last minute.

Jose Mourinho had identified Odegaard as a replacement for Dele Alli, who looks set to join PSG on loan.

However Tottenham won’t sanction Alli’s loan move until they have found a replacement.

However their attempt fell on deaf ears, as Odegaard signed for The Gunners.
