Transfer News LIVE: Arsenal seek £80 million Rice and Man Utd’s Elanga wanted

We kick off with the news that Arsenal, who have yet to sign a contract this month, are already looking forward to a Champions League campaign next term and they want Declan Rice up front and in the centre.

The West Ham midfielder will be in demand after a poor Hammers campaign and like the Gunners, the Time say Manchester United and Chelsea are also excited.

However, Arsenal are “growing confident” that they will win the race for his signature, despite having just been beaten by one of those clubs to sign Mykhailo Mudryk, their main target for January.

The reported fee is £80m – a huge cut from last summer’s reported £150m fee.

Chelsea’s belated attempt to beat rivals Arsenal’s hopes of signing Mykhailo Mudryk resulted in one of the most high-profile transfers of the season.

Here we take a look at how the club’s five most expensive signings fared ahead of Mudryk’s arrival.

The 18-year-old had a lot to show and was ready for it. Garnacho has been making an increasing impact this season, but this performance against Manchester City felt like one of those moments in his career as it had a game-changing impact in a huge match.

The teen turned Nathan Ake was instrumental in changing the game. This is exactly the kind of exciting talent that gets people in the game so excited.

This is why United fans have already honored Garnacho with the same ‘viva’ tune as Cristiano Ronaldo. That is how highly he is thought of, and not just in Carrington and Old Trafford.

More from here Miguel Delaney:

The striker’s deal will reportedly cost Villa £14.75 million initially.

“Aston Villa can confirm that an agreement has been reached with Chicago Fire for the definitive transfer of 19-year-old striker Jhon Duran,” Villa said in a statement.

“The deal is contingent upon passing a medical examination, agreeing personal terms and obtaining the necessary work visa.”

Colombia international Duran made 22 MLS appearances for the Fire last season, scoring eight goals and making three appearances for his country.

Manchester United’s Anthony Elanga may be allowed to leave Old Trafford this month, according to TalkSport.

The Swedish youngster is behind Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford for spots on the wings, while Bruno Fernandes has also operated from the right at times – and Jadon Sancho has also yet to come back.

Borussia Dortmund is the main interested party, while Bournemouth and Everton have also inquired about his availability.

Arsenal have been linked with a large number of wingers in this transfer window, with Mykhailo Mudryk being their main target. However, he has since signed for Chelsea.

Another player rumored to be on their wish list is Raphinha, with the former Leeds player failing to secure a starting spot with Barcelona, ​​who was dropped from the sideline by Ousmane Dembele on the right wing.

However, his agents told Mundo Deportivo that there is no prospect of him seeking an exit from Camp Nou, and Barcelona do not want to sell him either. Raphinha turned down Arsenal in the summer to go to LaLiga and he is set to do the same thing again this month.

Wolves have agreed on the signing of attacking midfielder Pablo Sarabia from Paris St Germain, the PA news agency understands.

The Spanish international will sign a two-and-a-half-year contract for an amount of five million euros.

The deal is subject to Sarabia passing on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old has made 14 Ligue 1 appearances for PSG so far this season, all but three off the bench, and has also appeared in three Champions League games.

Brighton have contacted New York City FC and Girona about a move from Argentina striker Valentin ‘Taty’ Castellanos, who want to develop their attack line.

With Leandro Trossard expected to leave this window after declaring his intention to move, manager Roberto De Zerbi needs another attacker and Castellanos fits the right profile.

The 24-year-old has scored five goals in 18 appearances this season for Girona, where he is on loan from the Catalan club’s sister club New York City. Girona is 47 percent owned by City Football Group.

The Liga club is nevertheless reluctant to sell January due to Castellanos’ impact this season, preferring to keep him until the summer.

Full details from Miguel Delaney:

Newcastle United will desperately need reinforcements in midfield in January if they are to sustain their top-four push, having been hit hard by injuries in that area and Bruno Guimaraes was also injured this weekend.

Now they are reportedly hoping to bolster not only that part of the pitch, but their front line as well, with a one-stop shop for all your needs at Stamford Bridge.

Eddie Howe adores Conor Gallagher, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Hakim Ziyech, reports the Telegraphwith the latter likely to be allowed to leave due to Champions League squad rules.

The English midfield duo could make more problematic deals as Chelsea also have injury concerns of their own.
