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

West Ham United have agreed to sign Jesse Lingard on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season.  

Lingard is on the periphery at Old Trafford having not featured at all in the Premier League this season and is looking for more game time.

Newcastle and West Brom were also interested in signing the 28-year-old who rejected their offers.  

It is thought that the total cost of the deal is around £3 million with West Ham paying an initial £1.5 million loan fee then covering Lingard’s wages.  

Liverpool are set to sign Derby starlet Kaide Gordon, with Wayne Rooney admitting the talented teenager’s exit now seems inevitable.  

Rooney gave Gordon his debut for the Rams on 29 December and the 16-year-old is seen as one of England's most exciting academy players.

Liverpool are understood to be in talks to sign Gordon on a professional contract once he turns 17 in October and Rooney admitted a deal was likely.

“No, [no gaps to fill] but it is hard for me to judge right now,” Tuchel said when asked about the need to sign anybody before the deadline.

“I am very happy with what I have seen so far. N'Golo Kante came back today so we have 22 players and the goalkeeper.”

Thomas Tuchel may only have just arrived, but the Blues are keen to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Braut Haaland and Bayern Munich’s David Alaba.

Haaland can be signed for his release clause of £66m, though Real Madrid are the front-runners, report Sky Sports.

While Alaba will be much cheaper, as the 28-year-old is available on  a free transfer after rejecting a new contract, though a hefty signing on fee and wages will inevitably come for whoever signs the Austrian.

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho could renew his contract with the club, in the aftermath of Frank Lampard’s sacking.

Jorginho had fallen down the pecking order under Lampard’s regime, and the Italian had been linked with a return to Serie A.

However Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb reports that new boss Thomas Tuchel wants to keep Jorginho, to such an extent that a contract extension could be on the cards.

It’s thought that Jorginho may extend his current deal to the summer of 2025.

Jorginho signed for Chelsea from Napoli in the summer of 2018.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing either Kieran Trippier or Max Aarons next season, as coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seeks a back-up for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Any potential deal will hinge on whether Serie A giants Milan make Diogo Dalot's loan switch permanent at the end of the season.

Dalot joined the Rossoneri on a season-long loan deal, and has been utilised at both left and right-back.

According to Forbes, both Trippier and Aarons, of Atletico Madrid and Norwich respectively, are on the Solskjaer's radar.

New Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is aware of the club’s history of sacking managers.

Frank Lampard was sacked this week after only 18 months in charge of the club.

German coach Tuchel was signed as his replacement, but he is aware of the club’s history since Roman Abramovich took over in 2003.

Speaking in his pre-game press conference ahead of the clash against Burnley, Tuchel remarked on whether he was scared to be sacked at some point: “Yes and no, but I'm absolutely grateful I can work on this level.

“If you sign for Chelsea you sign for the hunger of titles, you sign for being absolutely competitive in every competition you play. I'm totally aware of that.

“It is like you said, but it does not scare me, we have big ambitions and me myself I have the biggest ambitions.

“I'm very excited about the mixture of the team, I'm very excited about the structure of the club and the first days were amazing.

“And I'm absolutely aware that at some point everybody expects results, but, honestly, I'm doing that of myself.”

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has spoken about the opportunity to keep new signing Martin Odegaard permanently at the end of the season.

Odegaard arrived this week from Real Madrid on loan.

It’s believed that the deal is simply a loan, with no option to buy.

However that doesn’t remove the possibility of a deal taking place in the summer.

Arteta has commented on whether Odegaard could stay at Arsenal in the longer term.

“He certainly has all the qualities and characteristics that we are looking for for that position,” said the Spaniard during his press conference ahead of the game against Man Utd.

“Then it will be down to two things. First of all, how well he adapts here and how much of an impact he can have in our team. 

"Secondly, what Real Madrid and the player think about it because he’s owned by Real Madrid and the player has a big say in that too.”

Former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor believes Tottenham should sign Southampton striker Danny Ings.

Ings has been heavily-linked to the north London side over the last year, with Jose Mourinho supposedly an admirer of the 28-year-old striker.

Tottenham made an attempt to sign Ings in the last transfer window, before settling on Benfica’s Carlos Vinicius.

“I think it would be a great addition," Agbonlahor told Football Insider.

“[Harry] Kane could play as a number 10, behind Ings or vice-versa to be honest they can both play there.

“I just think it would take Spurs to the next level, they’re missing that extra striker with top, top quality.

“I do like Vinicius but I think if you get Danny Ings you’re making a statement and he could be the reason they go on and finish in the top four this season.”

Everton are yet to receive a loan offer for winger Bernard.

The former Shakhtar Donetsk winger is thought to be surplus to requirements at Goodison Park.

It had been reported that both Italian side Roma and Dubai club Al-Nasr were interested in signing the 29-year-old.

The Mirror states however that Roma’s interest in the player has cooled, whilst Al-Nasr are yet to make any kind of offer.
